it's all about the lyrics. thats why we listen..the music is great
but right now in theese times people won't get it. and stevie
is right. times have changed and so have the fans. Even if
they write the best songs of their lives no one will really
hear it because it's all about ''the look'' you got people like
britney,eminem,and all those others that are just out to make
a quick buck and get noticed for doing something shocking.
In my opinion the true artists of our generation like stevie,
fleetwood mac,bob seger,the eagles,ect really don't fit in
today's world of music. so instead of trying to compeate with
the ''artists'' of today they should take pride in what they have
done. stevie and fleetwooc mac don't need to compeate with
anyone. stevie is a legend and she left her mark as one of
the all time greats and no one will ever be able to take that away
from her. stevie and fleetwood mac have nothing left to prove
so thats why i think they should retire.
And as for stevie..she's got one hurdle left....see ya in 2006
when she gets inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame as a
solo artist.

No way should they retire. I think they're only getting better age.
And maybe it's just me because most of the artists I listen to are not from my generation, but I think that older bands have more to offer. They're tighter, more seasoned, and have have finely tuned their craft of singing/songwriting. Older artists have more wisdom and to me, are generally more interesting because they have lived the life they're talking about in their songs. These young upstarts (god, I'm starting to sound like an old fogie and in my twenties no less!) sing about their unexperienced lives and it's like,....hmmm, so what?
