My foster mom, Linda, is a fan of both the Mac & Stevie. Not like I am, but she's always up for watching a new DVD, etc. When she got her new 50" plasma TV, and we hooked it up to the Bose, she insisted we watch Soundstage again, since we now had a proper viewing method, haha. It was awesome. She remembers
Rumours coming out, and has enjoyed the music since then. I took her to a Stevie solo show with her best friend, Heather, as well as my little sister a couple years ago, and she & Heather were both over the moon about it.
My sister is 5 years younger than I, and I flew her out from Seattle for that show, because I had second row seats, and she'd never been to an arena show before. She had heard of Stevie before the show, but that was about it - when we walked out after the concert, she turned to me and said something like, "Oh my god, I think I'm in love! She's amazing!" And then she dragged her boyfriend, her best friend, and her best friend's boyfriend to see the Mac on the Unleashed tour. They ALL ended up loving it. I was so proud, y'all. So proud.
Linda's younger brothers are both in love with Stevie. Danny was apparently extremely chagrined that I took Linda to that show instead of him, because "I love her more! You suck!" and Freddie spent a half an hour informing me that he was convinced all through the 80s that Stevie was singing only to him.
