[QUOTE=starshine;798758]You make some great points....I'm not surprised at all by Stevie's attitude. I guess that's why I refuse to shell out any more of my $$ to see her or Fmac /Eagles in concert (or anyone else for that fact)....They want our $$ but would love to just do 'business' as usual for them. Change nothing do nothing. Boring show. Spend tons of $$ on tickets and merchandise for a crappy show. I don't think so. QUOTE]
I'm with you. This is the first time ever that I have decided to opt out of buying tickets to see them. In a twisted way, I almost want this tour to fail badly. Given the state of the ecomony, and the ridiculously high ticket prices, I don't doubt that at some shows they will be playing to half empty arenas.
I've loved and appreciated Stevie for decades, but I've always known she talks a heck of a lot of sh*t. I can't understand the fans who hang on her every word and think it's the truth...about her relationships, her songs, her history...it's all filtered through her mindset at the moment, and has absolutely no bearing of actual reality.
In regard to her issues about releasing new music: She has mentioned that she gets bummed out when her friends request hearing the demo versions of her songs. She questions why, when she's spent all this money, time and effort in creating the songs in a studio with dozens of musicians.
Well Stevie -- get a damn clue!! Perhaps figure out that your fans would be very happy if you actually released some of these demos. Maybe you could release some albums that feature your songwriting and singing without making a huge production out of it.
