After Hurricane Katrina, she put the demo of her song Touched by an Angel on the Inte

It very well could have gone down that way, but the lack of a direct quote on this (and no other instances of Stevie having said anything regarding "Touched By An Angel" and Hurricane Katrina), makes it seem highly possible to me that the journalist made an unintentional mistake, or something got fouled up in the process of editing her notes and/or the article itself.

Yikes, a simple "we shouldn't automatically assume that information came directly from Stevie's mouth" comment, became six posts.
I need to find more ways to work the word "boner" into conversation though... it's a good 'un.

Please tell me you did not argue this with a straight face.

We're talking about the assertion that she put up a demo on the internet to raise money for the victims of Katrina, not the fact that she sang some songs, swung a hammer and made out with a dog on the Today show. Those things are to be commended, but stop spinning.

We are dealing with Womens Weekly here! Its hardly a reputable magazine...

But maybe thats right... Stevie might have intended to put the demo up on the internet, but just never got the time!

You said that Stevie's comments that her and Lindsey were "as good as married" cause it to only be a "minor mistake" when journalists refer to them as having been married.
So, by that skewered logic, it would seem to be only a "minor mistake" to say she raised money for Hurricane victims one way, when she actually raised money in another way.

At any rate, I was mainly just trying to tease you with that comment, and I'm starting to regret that I ever said anything in this thread in the first place.

So... hey, peeps, Stevie claimed she put a demo on the internet to raise money for Hurricane victims, cuz the bitch is straight trippin'.

Now we can be done with it.

The one thing that makes me wonder about this is who the hell even knows this song exists other than fanatics or the 4 people who bought the soundtrack to that movie ?

The ever curious

Bad? No way. I think it is one of the most beautiful songs Stevie has ever written. It got lost on a soundtrack though. Are we allowed to put up Yousendit links on this board? I do not want to violate any rules. If it is not a problem, I will post a link....you must hear this song, it is truly stunning.

People do it all the time...although I dunno if you're supposed to.

We don't have a policy against sharing mp3s or links to mp3s. Though we can't condone sharing an album's worth of readily-available commercially-released tracks, of course.

In other words, it wouldn't be a problem to post an mp3 for "Touched By An Angel"... but I wouldn't suggest posting links to every song on an album that can easily be purchased.

Stevie never, never, never swung a hammer on The Today Show.
Alas, you therefore have committed a factual error.
Stevie is therefore, by my flawless reasoning process,
even more 100% perfect than before, in comparison.
Spinning??? I'll be her SPIN Doctor! STEVIE for PRESIDENT!!!

It's no wonder why I don't take drugs.

So if it is OK to post and I am missing hearing this beautiful song....Can someone post it for me??
Thanks

Okay honey - I bought three copies all by my little ole self

As for La Nicks - I agree, think she told someone to use the song and it may or may not have happened - or it could be in the works. In the end, it is the thought that counts

Poor thing. That's one of the most horrific soundtracks I've ever had the misfortune of listening to.
