Stevie's attitude

[teedeerocks]

I was just wondering to myself when and what in the world caused Stevie to develop such an inflated head in recent years? She's always had a high opinion of herself but she was tactful about it but now she is just blatantly pompous. I was thinking that it got out of hand right after her mom died.I remember the Nicki Minaj incident and it was downhill from there. Maybe her mom kept her in check and grounded and gave her some much needed "hard advice".Stevie is a sailing ship and her mom was her anchor IMO.Your mom's words effect you at age 66 as they did at age 6.Any thoughts?

I just think she is in bliss and with all the success lately maybe she is a bit more inflated. She was on the Voice, American Idol, American Horror Story, touring with the Mac, making solo records etc. At this point in her life it is full steam ahead. Most rock stars at this stage just do the best of tours to make money. She is being discovered by a whole new set of younger fans.

Her Mom definitely kept her in check. But I think it's a bit deeper than just that. Her Mom's death has seemingly caused an entire attitude change in Stevie because it's really making her face her own mortality. In turn, Stevie's priorities seem to be shifting. She doesn't care much about what other people say about her, or if she's pleasing anyone other than herself. She's doing her thing, everyone else be damned. As much as I may not care for some of her decisions, I understand where she's coming from. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

There's people that say I've changed after my Mom died. I suppose I have, but in my case it's not because I'm facing my own mortality. For me, I feel I'm probably more guarded, and that could be off-putting to people. ( I am trying to work on that though)
Maybe Stevie feels something similar?

I too, changed after my Mom died. Honestly, I think for the better. I finally started living my life for ME, for my happiness.

Most of you know I've lost 3 loved ones in the last 7 or so years and lost my step dad about 11 years ago.I know what Stevie and others here are going through.

I drift in and out of depression all the time.Stevie's music helps me get out of it.

Mom will be gone for about 5 years this coming up February .My Dad left this world almost 2 years ago .My sister has been gone for about 7 years now.

The holidays are the tough times.As I walked through BJ's Christmas isle the other night .I start to tear up.

Yes my attitude has changed.

[bombaysaffires]

I've lost both of my parents over the last 8 years so I relate to what you all are saying.

But I'm not sure Stevie's mom or anybody else has ever really kept her from living her life the way she wanted to.

good on her.
she's always said she doesn't give a flying F what anyone thinks about her and she does what she does for herself and I've always loved that attitude from her but I don't believe she truly practiced what she preached.

I think she's ALWAYS cared too much about what people thought about everything especially her. Look how long it took her to decide to do IYD because everyone around her was saying the music industry is dead blah blah blah. If she truly didn't care, she'd act more like Lindsey. Just do music for the sake of music and art not how many $$ you're going to rake in.

I think she haS done some reevaluating and good on her.
Like she said with 24KG ... that was her best and if other people don't like it well at least she knows it was her best. And that's all that matters.

so I'm listening - on repeat - Silver Springs from the Dance and reading this thread..

Stevie can enjoy her attitude.. because "I say I loved you years ago.. tell myself that you never loved me.." my ocean crashing girl.

I agree wholeheartedly.....Stevie has always been about pleasing other people and not stepping on toes. In the last few years, I've seen more of an 'it's about me now!" attitude, and I say "Good for her!" It's her turn now! (Though I think she would be a fool not to do this one last album with the band! Come to think of it, she should probably do whatever they ask of her through 2017 ~ the group's 50th anniversary ~ and then it's her time/turn, plan and simple!).
I think you are seeing Stevie realize her mortality a lot more.....she always used to say she would continue doing this from her rocking chair.....as of late, she seems to be talking a lot more of a "10 year plan."

Yeah. You're pulling this totally out of thin air since you likely don't actually know her.

This thread bothers me a little. I can't help but think that this thread only exists because Stevie isn't jumping on the new Fleetwood Mac album bandwagon. It just feels like people are pointing out her flaws to get her to do it. It's feels a little sneaky and backhanded to me. No offense but Stevie hasn't really changed except that she is enjoying her solo work more.

Not to mention the fact that far less criticism would be aimed towards her if she were a man. I've stayed away from a lot of these recent album-related threads, as it's hard to to stomach a lot of the knee-jerk attacks on Stevie without any real basis in fact.

^^I agree!!!
