Part of the allure of Stevie Nicks is her epic writing. Her words. Her emotions. Her descriptions. When that is missing, its pretty much an empty shell of shrill.

I really hate Everyday, but because of the way she sings it. Same thing with Cry Wolf- another song by her I hate. It’s not the lyrics that bother me, the songs just suck, IMO. Reconsider Me, Talk to Me, Stop Dragging My Heart, Stevie sings those songs with a lot of passion, which the other songs I mention lack.

Warren Zevon wrote Reconsider Me. Jimmy really wanted her to put it on the record (I think Rock a Little ) She wasn't having it. He was one of the great song writers of our generation.

Look, don’t get me wrong- Stevie Nicks is still the most important person in the world. She is an enchantress, a legend, the Queen of Rock and Roll and the first woman to be inducted into the RRHOF TWICE. She can do no wrong and never will. But Everyday sucks LOL. So does When I See You Again and several others. But if the songs weren’t good, we all know it’s Lindsey’s fault.

I want Stevie and Dolly Parton to tour together! They could sing Islands in the Stream and Stop Dragging My Heart together. I’m serious- that is a concert that I would go to even with Covid still here!

Rules are rules. Any Stevie fan that does not like When I see You Again must give back 2 pounds of chiffon.

Dang it! Thank goodness I have 50lbs of chiffon hanging in my closet!

I love Everyday and When I See You Again (especially Stevie's vocal). I don't know how The Second Time isn't considered her worst song. After I hear that song I want to put on the movie Storks

Stevie could not handle Dolly getting more of an ovation.

See, I like the Second Time, so that just goes to show that every song has at least one fan, somewhere out there LOL.

You could be right about Stevie not being able to handle Dolly getting more attention, but I’d like to think that two people, and especially two women, post #MeToo and women power and everything, could tour together and be happy for the other’s success. I know it’s completely unrealistic to think such a tour would happen, but it would be a riot if they did. Imagine- Dolly singing Gold Dust Woman LOL! Stevie singing Nine to Five LOL! I’m picturing stadiums here!

Stevie at Rock Hall Induction 2019: I don't do what anyone tells me to do ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A GIRL

I think in recent years the only shows Stevie played with people bigger than her was the Rod Stewart tour and a show in Hawaii she opened for Aerosmith. (I guess 2007 Super Bowl too. She performed in the pregame)

Oh now, I seriously doubt that chiffon is hanging in the closet.

Growing up in Indiana, didn't you bale both hay and chiffon?

I just brought my statue of Stevie out of the closet. (pun intended) And I'm putting a BWBOY honorary plaque next to it!

I've baled hay, but never chiffon.

But I'm willing to try...

What?!? Did she really say that in her speech? I’d listen to it again, but please don’t make me- I barely got through it when I saw it on YouTube, and I can’t bear to repeat it again. Still, it’s not like Dolly would be telling her what to do. Not to mention, Dolly could learn a lot from a professional like Stevie.

I didn’t know Stevie ever opened for Aerosmith once. Interesting. And the Super Bowl pregame show you mentioned, I never knew about that either. That really surprises me! Do you remember what she performed for that, and who else performed?
