Whitney admits to it.

Whitney's a crack headed fool. And she had to, she went to rehab. Stevie isn't going to "pot rehab", you can bet on it.

Again, Whitney admits to lighting up doobies. Bobby, too!

Crack is whack. Crack is too cheap for me.

That is, again, because whitney is a crack headed fool.
I don't want to ever hear that Stevie should do something because Whitney did it. That's, what, the fourth sign of the apocolypse?

...with Lindsey releasing a solo CD being the fifth and final sign.

That's why I tend to shy away from a lot of her explanations about them; I want to interpret them on my own and not think "Oh, wow, this song is about her abortiona nd that one is about her torrid affair with Mick."

After all who cares what they were written about. Once they are out there they're ours, IMO. I find her explanations interesting from a biographic point of view though. And by the way thanks a lot Mick for inspiring Storms!

You'll never digest that line in Joan of Arc, right?

I still think she was ironic there and the way she talks about her job, for me it's moving and melanchonic at the same time.

We agree on this one.

wait, the apocolypse only has five signs? That doesn't seem like enough warning. Hmmm.

When she refers to her mistakes with drugs, she is referring to the coke and Klonopin alone. But, then I realized you seemingly consider all of her drug use to be a problem for her, a position she does not share

I LOVE the way you phrased this!

Again you're being hardnosed.

I'll never understand how stating a fact such as "I gave up getting married and having children for my career" can be looked at as someone making a martyr out of themselves.

She did that, right? But she's not allowed to talk about it?

When I say I choose to not take medication, even though I have agoraphobia and going places is a struggle for me, I'm not looking for sympathy or trying to make a martyr out of myself. I'm stating a fact.
If Stevie says, "I couldn't see how I could juggle motherhood with my career," she's stating a fact, too.

But you always want to see her in the most cynical of lights, so......

Too bad Sharon deleted that article where Stevie blamed Mick for getting in the way of her bearing a child.

Interestingly, Mick's pressure on the money making Stevie certainly was an influence on her not taking two years off to have a kid, with the risk of retiring after having the kid.

Come on now... any comment made in the late '80s and up to the mid-'90s, has to be taken in context of the Klonopin addiction, when she herself admits she was miserably depressed and difficult to get along with.

I don't recall any "woe is me" type comments like that being made since she kicked the Klonopin.

Anyone think maybe she was a little high before her Today show performance? She seemed kind of hyper when she was talking to Katie in between songs. I have no interest in pot myself since I've had a lung collapse in the past, but a close friend used to do it a lot and it always seemed like she was a complete jabberjaw and really amped up when she smoked it.

As for the smoking, well it's her choice. She knows the consequences. And don't flame me for this, but after watching her Today performances again and again, I'm really not overly impressed. She's completely lost her upper register and some of the notes she hits sound pretty off to me, and if she continues smoking, I doubt she'll be able to continue sounding as good as she did in this summer's concerts.

I rarely criticize Stevie - I love the woman and her music, but I have to be honest here. *Ducking flying tomatoes now*

Not even the "woe is me...I made a mistake dumping Lindsey" one in Mojo a few years back?
