Stevie is also 60, in Fleetwood Mac, plays no instrument, has no family or children to take care of, and yet we're supposed to put her on her own lowered expectations scale? I just don't think that's ok at all. I love her guys (she's why I'm here), but she needs to lose the attitude, entitlement, and get her game back on. I mean, Ann Wilson is also a woman about her age, she's been in the business about as long, she's had weight and health battles too, she is a single mother of young children, yet she totally rocks out and belts vocals like she's in her 20s, with gratitude and a smile. I just want Stevie to be happy again, for her to be comfortable in her skin, and to enjoy being in the band the way that the rest of the Macsters are these days. It's really not too much to ask at all...
Word.

Whatever's bothering Stevie, she's felt this way since before the tour started. (I'm not referring to the cold/whatever she has... but her limp, and blatantly obvious disinterested attitude towards the tour) She's more than content to do the shows & pick up the check despite her mindset/condition/attitude.

Is she entitled to do so? Of course.

Do fans have the right to call her on it? Absolutely.
