Is there a spy among us? Stevie are you out there?

I've only been a part of this great site for this past year but I've noticed recently how it seems that Stevie will mention things in these interviews that reflect exactly what we are discussing on the threads...there are several examples but tonights Arts interview in Australia when she suddenly mentions Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell as her two writing influences is just too crazy...I've heard her mention Joni a few times but, come on, to mention the two of them in the same sentence after a few of our threads recently is down right strange..

...any thoughts?

^I just saw that interview as well and noticed the same thing.

So funny. Of course that could be coincidence, but, it's still pretty amusing when stuff like that happens.

She has mentioned at recent shows that people are talking about this or that article of clothing she's wearing online, and stuff like that. I believe the red shawl was what she cited. I'm guessing she has people around her who see things online that amuse them, then they pass it along to her. Or perhaps it's part of her assistant Karen's job to keep her finger on the pulse of Stevie's fans. Or maybe Stevie's managers/publicists use message boards as a tool as to how to guide Stevie. Who knows. I can't see Stevie herself sitting huddled over a computer, clicking the mouse & reading the Ledge on her own, though.

Oh, I'm quite certain that Stevie's "people" (whether it's Karen or someone else) are lurking on the Ledge and pass info on to her.

That's most likely.

I noticed that too. She even mentioned the Lindsey / Bob Dylan argument, which she's done before. Obviously she knows it's well and oft quoted.

If they don't, they should be. It would be ignorant for them not to lurk on Stevie forums. Companies spend TONS of money to get customer feedback, Stevie's marketing team gets it all free here!

I don't see Stevie herself using a computer taking the time to sift through online fan forums regarding topics about her but her people may very well be and it's why I'm careful now more than ever about some of the things I say. I think in a small sense Stevie or her people finally realized they had an additional outlet with the internet as a promotional tool and finally gave in some about their negative views on it and using to their advantage. I have found it funny she's recently addressed her wearing (different) clothing for once and also a while back she was spotted on the red carpet in knee high black boots, something she hadn't wore in a while but a topic that had been discussed here just a few days prior. Regardless of what she wears or does, I hope she realizes no matter what, we fans love her because she's stayed true to herself always and for being Stevie Nicks. Even today.

Yeah, me too. I'm a little too careful on what and what
not to say.

Btw, I have it on good authority that Barry reported
back to Stevie on Hannah Montana remaking Bella Donna.
Not to mention a few other outrageous things.

Hi Stevie

Hi Karen

Josh2003 · #11 11-22-2011, 12:09 PM

My money's on Lori. She's internet/facebook savvy.

Oh weeee, that's an awesome job description. ( Just wanted you to know that!).

Anyways, the mental image of Stevie in her jammies and her face covered in night cream all huddled over a computer...is so amusing to me. She's look so cute!

There are spies. I don't see Stevie coming on here but I think her people do.

mikebise · #14 11-22-2011, 01:17 PM

They definitely do. I received several PMs on here from a person who I truly believe is in Stevie's camp. She (I think it's a woman) was (politely) getting on me for posting so many demos/outtakes, and we had a polite back and forth as I explained how much I LOVE ALL of Stevie's songs. I told her how the first time I hear "Julia" in August 1988, it was like finding a missing piece of my soul. It was a friendly conversation, but she clearly stated that Stevie and WB do not like these recordings being circulated.

That was earlier in 2011. After In Your Dreams was released, she PM-ed me again, asking what I thought of the album. I wrote a nice, very long and loving review for her, and she seemed very pleased and happy to hear I was enjoying Stevie's new releases, not just unreleased material.

Haven't heard from her since May or June, but I think she was for real.

Haha yes! If I was Stevie I'd definitely be trawling the boards to see what the fans are talking about. Curiosity would get the better of me. And if I didn't know how to go about it, I'd get someone that did.
