Always a pleasure to be of service Mam.

and "To be standing in line....You coobe standing in a line....I would cry..."

And what could be more appropriate than singing about welfare lines? Stand Back it is!

"no one looked
they all walked by
just some food and water
woulda been just fine
they said no to us
again and again
first they took vacations
then they ra-an.
No one knows
how many died
what we felt unless they
eat no food for five
Our gov't turned their back on us,
Then they fed us lie-ie-ies"

Oh that would be so cool, but since Kenny Loggins apparently doesn't like Stevie, as his quote "of all the people I have worked with, she is one of them" I don't think he would go for it. I met him when I worked at a record store in the 80s, he was such a jerk.

Oy, this is tough...

It wasn't so much a joke (actually, it wasn't a joke at all) as a song parody with satire in it. I started thinking about how some of Stand Back lyrics actually applied, then the parody came out. It was in no way meant to be disrespectful. I'm suprised you thought that.

She should just do Stand Back and prove to everyone that she still has it. Shes done landslide too many times at too many events. BLECH!

This event is not the time or the place to "prove she still has it". She is lending her name and talents to raise money for the hurricane victims.
If she chooses to do Landslide, a month after losing her Daddy, I will be fine with that. I think HAEWAFY is what we are getting and I am really amazed that there is debate about other songs. If Taku might be playing with her, obviously we are getting something that her solo band knows how to play, something from the last tour. She doesnt need Taku for Landslide. With the list of performers, she will get one song and maybe a duet. HAEWAFY is the song Stevie will probably "want" to do. Personally, I don't think there is a chance in Hell, she will do Stand Back. She will want to do something that she feels "speaks to the victims"...like Has Anyone.

yes but I also thought this event was suppose to be something to make people happy and lift them off their feet. Not a slow ballad that will bring people to tears and make them remember the horrible event! Why not play something spunky and fun, get everyone dancing and HAPPY!

I remember reading that Loggins quote (though I can't remember when or where), but they have performed together in recent years, so I doubt there's any bad blood between them.

Not to mention that a friend of mine sent me a tape with footage from VH1-Classic from about two years ago, and Kenny is hosting a block of videos from artists that he personally selected. He talks about Stevie very fondly, and makes a lighthearted joke about how she called him a "taskmaster" in the studio, and then they play the "Whole Lotta Trouble" video (which he says he had never seen before).

Still, that being said, I highly doubt Stevie and Kenny will duet together during this concert. Kenny will be there with Jim Messina, not as a solo artist.
