I Finally Fugured It Out!

CrystallinePoet · #1 08-21-2005, 07:58 PM

Well today I was driving home from camping in Michigan and I was listening to Lady From the Mountain on my MP3 player and I really realized something. Up until now all the music that I listened to before I knew about Stevie was just like a phase. I am 13 now and I just got introduced to Fleetwood Mac when my dad started going to thier Say You Will concerts with his then-girlfriend. Then he gave me The Dance CD and I was hooked. Before all that Brittney Spears, Usher, Destiny's Child...all that music I listened to were like phases a kid goes through. So I'm sitting there listening to this wonderful song and I'm like woah. Stevie and her music are going to stick w/ my for the rest of my life. For some reason I never thought about it that way before. It was GREAT!

So finally I have settled down and found something that I will love forever becuase you know there arn't many things out there that you could love forever. Stevie is deff one of them!

Great post, CrystallinePoet,

. That's the problem with a lot of popular music--it's faddish and doesn't have "staying power." Part of the reason we all like Stevie and the Mac so much is that their sound is classic and something you can enjoy for a lifetime.

Welcome to the forum!

You sound like an absolutely brilliant 13 year old! Took me til I was 17 to make the discovery. But I think you're absolutely right - today's artists are flashes in the pan. I've often wondered... who's going to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 20 years from now?

Interesting little anecdote: Eight years ago this week, I bought The Dance when it was released. I too was 13 (just about to turn 14) and I had never really heard anything by Fleetwood Mac before...I had seen the special on MTV and I really liked it...so I bought the CD on a whim.

For me, I thought that it would just be a phase. Little did I know that eight years later I would still be just as obsessed.

this post, coupled with the AMAZING series finale of Six Feet Under have me so in tears. I love Stevie's music so much and it has meant everything to me at times and it's so weird to think about how long I've been a fan and that it will be with me forever too.

I think it's awesome that you have found Stevie and I am thankful too. She will never let you down. Welcome to the Ledge and best wishes on your journey with La Nicks.

I must echo this statement. Well said.

And Welcome

Welcome to the board! It was one year ago this May that I realized that Stevie's music was not going to be a fad for me. I was 14 years old then, and now I can't imagine what my life was like before that day. Not only does being a Stevie Nicks fan allow you to listen to some of the best and most comforting music, it will also introduce you to a world of interesting and understanding people. You can't go wrong with it.

Welcome! I discovered FM in '97 with The Dance as well, and there's been no looking back! TISL is what got me hooked on Stevie as a solo artist, and that's been even more of a fascination. I love it all.

Welcome to The Ledge!

I was hooked by The Dance at age 13 too. What is it about The Dance that gets us so obsessed?
