OUCH!
The night Stevie's Soundstage aired on PBS coincided with me having some friends over at the house. As soon as Stand Back came on, and Stevie walked out and started singing my friend Scott said: "Oh, this must be one of her classic concerts! What year is this from?" I told him it was filmed just 7 months ago. Scott looked all confused... and said "but she doesn't look a day over 35... what year is this really from? How old is she here?" and I replied "60." He just looked at me asounded and said "SIXTY!?!? She's SIXTY there??? You're pulling my leg!" He was totally unconvinced. So the concert went on, and he studied Stevie very closely, paying rapt attention. Towards the end, he finally said "You're right... she's 60." And I asked what made him change his mind... he said "her hands. Just look at her hands. You can always tell a woman's true age by her hands. Plus, her motions and dances are rather stiff. She doesn't move around like she used to."
