At a very slow time in FM/Stevie/Lindsey history, I once made the very bold statement (right here, on the Ledge) that I would go and listen to Stevie sing the phone book.
Well, I kinda think she took that type of attitude to heart. I love her. I went and saw her in Boston this past year, and she was awesome, as always. And, the one thing that I came away saying is, she feels like "home," to me. BUT, I wasn't chomping at the bit to get to that show, as I had in the past. Because it's a bit too predictable. Yes, she's still a big draw. Of course. She doesn't have fans, she has followers (and I'm one of them). But, I'm not quite as willing to follow multiple times as I was in the past. Not unless she takes chances and "makes" us sit through new stuff we "don't want to hear."
So, yeah, it's FM for me. Because Lindsey WILL challenge her. Maybe not this first leg but the time will come...and complain or not, we will get new material out of her. And if I see one bonehead leave their seats for a beer or to pee during a new song, I may Crazy Glue their ass to their seats. Pee during Dreams. You've heard it 98,542 times before!
