My unpopular opinions...
I don't think there should be a film made about Stevie's life.
I don't want to read her autobiography. I prefer a little mystery.
I don't like the way her visits to the troops have been portrayed, and I disagree with her statement that:
"I first went last summer in the middle of my tour. I was in Washington DC and they invited me and I really had no idea. I just went, Sure, I'm up for anything. I walked in there a fairly happy, single, 57-year old woman with no children - and I walked out a mother and a nurse and a doctor and girlfriend and sister and patients' advocate. From that moment I became a soldiers' advocate because they need it.
I have no comment or opinion about the war itself, but when those guys get back and are horribly injured then that is my business. But really, what can you do?"
is bizarre. If she is so concerned with these guys in hospital, surely she should have an opinion on the war. Her Florence Nightingale thing is a bit warped.
