I see no reason to continually put her down for her choice of dress. (Especially on the other thread that is now running song parodies belittling her). I don't want to bring anyone down, I'm just stating how I feel... and I'm very distressed and disturbed to see that Stevie is ONCE AGAIN getting put down for her appearance. The woman is happy, healthy, and beautiful-- I'll take her on stage in her black dress, a potato sack, or a sweatsuit... whatever... I am just grateful that she is out there busting her ass every night for us!!! Why aren't you all picking on Lindsey for wearing the same outfit every night on stage? Or Mick or John for that matter? Why Stevie? Why is Stevie always the butt of everyone's jokes? Who gives a **** if she's not 100 pounds and strung out on coke anymore... if she wants to wear the black dress, who cares?? She is here, she is alive, and she is making music for US-- her fans. I'm just sick and tired of people putting her down constantly!!! This has gotten WAY past the point of being fun. It's getting down right mean on this thread and the "Margi Kent" thread.
I know I will probably get flamed for this, and I really don't care-- in my opinion this has gone on way too long and if Stevie ever read this (and there ARE Fleetwood Mac members and associates that DO read this board) I think it would hurt her feelings. That her fans-- the ones that are supposed to love her-- are constantly putting her down. *sigh* I guess even though the Ledge is back, somethings will never change.

In fairness, everyone reads things differently so I don't blame you for seeing red. However, I really don't think anyone writing the parodies ever intends to bash or put down Stevie. Negative comments on her attire can be seen as constructive criticism if Stevie ever reads the comments about her wardrobe. The way I see it, the people who really love ya and really care will tell the truth when ya need to hear it, not just say what's flattering to stroke your ego. I agree what's good for the goose is good for the gander. I specifically remember a thread I participated in at the beginning of the tour where we got on Lindsey's case for wearing that crummy T shirt. As I recall, it was not long until his nursing home T was history. I don't claim to know if anyone in the band culls the net for fan comments, but I'll hand it to Lindsey's people for getting the word that the T **** (not a typo) had to go. As far as I'm concerned, if it's so hot on stage he needs to go in his underwear, why choose the nursing home T? Why not a new pair of tighty whiteys? Hehe!
