When I first saw your header, Peter, I thought it was an old review of one of those Zoo shows in the late 1980s with Stevie Nicks as guest.

She was dubbed “Queen of Rock” by Rolling Stone magazine

Boy, fans & writers have sure extracted a lot of mileage from this. Actually, the cover dubbed her the "
reigning queen of rock & roll" -- implying that her position on the Throne of Popularity was not going to be permanent (which is true of everybody, except Beethoven & Mozart).
How come no one ever mentions Susan Katz's calling Stevie one of the "Superwomen of Rock" (in her 1978 book)? Better to be a superhero than a measly old queen -- & did the Rolling Stone title intend a sly, campy double entendre?
