Absolutely, I would love if Stevie instigated something like this and the Stevie for hire thing bugs me. The reality, however, is that Stevie will never instigate something like this, and Stevie is for hire.
So I say to myself, is it worth the money? The answer is yes, if it plays out the way it is described. I don't plan to see Stevie many more times in my life. I'll never see her play a shed again and I will fall over dead if she does a club tour. I'd love to see her once more in a small venue, even if it's another canned greatest-hits performance. And while it might get a little annoying being around a zillion rabid fans, truth is I'd rather be around them than the boring nostalgia-seekers who go to the regular gigs. At least the energy will be fierce, and maybe Stevie will get a good hit off of that.

No I get it. It's just that the whole thing seems a little cold. I want Stevie to want it
not just be paid to be up there singing songs to us in a contrived performance. I know my whole "I want Stevie to instigate it" thing is a long time coming if at all, but that is my ideal situation. And I know ideal situations hardly ever work out, so I guess I'm just musing...
