OK-I was totally the one who blamed management so I'll explain my reasoning.
Stevie has always had health problems with outdoor venues. So, what did they do? They booked nearly 20 shows with nearly all of them (I believe) outdoors. They smooshed the schedule so it takes place within the time span of a month. And, they booked such an incredible amount of press in between that it would be hard for anyone to not get sick. I think I wrote all this out before and edited way too much.
63 is not that old but, given the fact that Stevie no longer lives this fast-paced life all year-long, it's too much.
They just should have taken some of that into account.
And, I was more or less talking about me not willing to travel long distances.
But, although I'm not willing to do the traveling I once did (and I don't encourage anyone else one way or the other), I'm definitely not writing her off by any stretch of the imagination.
