Oh absolutely not. I think the commodification/objectification aspects of this whole party thing were really bizarre. I could go on for pages. Actually, I probably did, just not in the forum. Somebody could forward you some pretty rambling and damning PMs...

Well I guess if you don't like the "same old tired performances" don't go to anymore shows  . I'm kind of sick of this rant too. If you don't like what she offers, don't partake of it. But don't think that you have the right or the influence as a die-hard fan to change it yourself and MAKE Stevie do what you want her to do. That is just scary---crazy scary. And I know you don't agree with this, when I say "you" I mean it in the general sense.

Yeah, exactly. I'll retain my right to be frustrated and complain when it comes up, but I know it's Stevie's prerogative to run her career as she sees fit, and since I don't really care for a lot of what she's doing now, I don't plan on going to any of her concerts in the near future (not that she's got any planned at the moment, or that she'd be coming anywhere near where I am).
As far as Mageboy, yeah, his posts were pretty inflammatory and dramatic, but I don't think he ever said or really implied that Stevie "owes" her fans anything. He said, "Stevie doesn't do **** for her die-hard fans," and, well, that's more or less true.
