You Know You're A Stevie Fan When (please Add To The List Lol)

[THINKABOUTIT]

i'VE COLLECTED THESE OVER THE YEARS FROM FRIENDS. PLEASE ADD TO THE LIST!! THESE ARE HILARIOUS!!! IF ONLY STEVIE COULD READ THESE...MAYBE SHE IS


*You've ever pretended to be in the Stand Back video while walking on a treadmill.
*You know that Rhiannon is not Brianna...or Briannon............................
*You know who Sulamith Wulfing is...................
*YOU KNOW May 26th should be a National Holiday.............................
*Even at 40 years old( 39 1/2) you still use the hairbrush as a mike,when Stevie is playing!!
*If you envision yourself on a cliff during dance class like the gypsy video
*You know you're a serious Stevie fan if you twirl around in the pouring rain and snow as Stevie danced around in Gypsy.

*If a tambourine is the first musical instrument that comes to your mind in a trivia contest.

*If your dream in life is to meet Stevie and get her autograph in person and talk with her.

*If your children are named rhiannon and your dog, cat, fish and/or hamster are named sara or gypsy.

*if you sport a license plate that says Stvnixfan or some other incarnation

*If you follow Stevie around on tour and attend every show you can get your hands on the way the Deadheads followed Garcia around

*If you buy the new Stevie LP the day it hits the stores and count the minutes until the record store opens til you can get it..

*If you buy every photo, bootleg recording and everything you can find with her image on it.

*If you model your own clothing style after hers, even down to those difficult to maneuver platform boots.

*You go to every Hard Rock Cafe you can find and ask where the Stevie display is and take photos.

*You would give your eye teeth for a signed stevie tambourine and would gladly display it proudly in your home or office and show it to all your friends.

*Getting the album the day it comes out.
You *do* have your shrine posted on the nicksfix and you did say you buy your stevie lps the day they hit so you fit the fan parameter.

*You're a guy. you would look awfully funny in platform boots and a fairy skirt. Though it would be funny seeing you dancing in the rain. That's actually fun!~~

[Sorcerer386]

* You remember the words to Stevie's songs better than she herself does.

* You became a fan in 1997 and have completely exhausted everything that was officially released with Stevie.

* You or a friend has a problem, and you always return to a Stevie lyric to help solve that problem.

[Red]

* If you can arbitrarily quote her lyrics on a daily basis when engaged in ANY conversation.

*If you've debated the meaning of her lyrics for hours at a time.

* You know you're a Stevie fan when you frame the rose from her mic stand.

[GiniLeaE]

Hey, I *resemble* not resent these remarks...HEHE!

Gosh, since I'm blond and a redneck...I resemble a lot of jokes lately!LOL...

-You might be a Stevie fan IF...your arms ache soooo freakin' bad after a Stevie (or FM concert!) concert from clappin', signin' I love you in sign language or bangin' that tambourine (mine lights up!! to the music!! She even noticed once! Probably thought that was tacky...) all night long while she's on stage!!!!WOOHOO! I can hardly pick my arms up after a show...!

[Ghost_Tracker]

You KNOW you're a Stevie fan if . . . .

*You have some PRETTY STRONG suspicions about what Stevie said to Lindsey in "Soundstage" on PBS after singing "Frozen Love" (and know what that means. . . . and know that what I just said has a double-meaning. )

*You ALSO plan on putting the speaker real close to your ear to figure out if Stevie whispered to Mick what you THINK she said to him, after stopping by the house the first time in "Destiny Rules."

*Speaking of which, you've discovered that the main lyrics to Destiny Rules are somehow burned into your memory without ever even making an effort to memorize them...

*You know what "The Rhiannon Painting" is and often wonder who the f. has it...

*You can explain in gory detail EXACTLY why Joni Mitchell should receive an honorary Nobel Prize.

*You can also explain in gory detail how it's possible that a drunk who lived in a trailer in the hills might just be the very smartest person who ever lived....

*You're actively hoping that Compton Terrace will be re-opened someday.

*You think those guitars she painted for charity are precious works of art.

*When you heard Christine McVie, in the "Rumours" Documentary, saying that Stevie's lyrics "are, at best, obscure" and didn't make any sense to her, you can honestly say that your jaw dropped and you instantly thought, "What the F. is she TALKING about" and you felt disappointed in her, and just plain sorry for her.

*If someone said something about "Sulamith and Sara being in the same room while they're recording," it would make perfect sense to you and you'd smile and maybe even start cracking up....

*You know the original address for nicksfix, and that it still works....

*Whether you're a Madonna fan or not, you realize that Madonna's just an amateur...

[Lala]

-You watch the 'I Can't Wait' video and snap your fingers at "know we've been [snap snap] out of touch" part!

-The 'Gypsy' video makes you cry. You think it's the best video ever made and smile every time the sky is the colour of the 'enchanted forrest' pink-blue-purple sky ("Look, it's a 'Gypsy' sky!")

-Your secret fantasy is to join either FM or Stevie's backup band and tour with them

-You spend an obscene amount of time on message boards about Stevie Nicks

-You don't go more than a day or two without listening to Sara (or your favourite song of choice)

-On your 17th birthday you listened to EO17 over and over again

All of these things are true...

[SmileAtU]

* When you "rediscover" a Stevie song you thought you didn't care for, you listen to it 832 times until you know every word and note perfectly.

* You have tickets from the concerts you've attended on display

* You are personally offended when someone does not know who Stevie Nicks is, or that she is a female.

[seeker007nmss]

You go to the Stevie section EVERYTIME you go into a record store (Even though you have everything) to straighten her section up, and are offended when it isn't stocked well with everything she ever issued. (Even More pissed off if she doesn't have her own section)

[Ghost_Tracker]

You know you're a Stevie fan if - - -

*When you hear her explaining what "Edge of Seventeen" is about, you smile to yourself and hope that you can shake her hand some day; and you find that inside, you're laughing along with her. (And you know the actual lyrics, in full... )

*Also, the phrase, "The ocean is your blanket" makes perfectly clear sense to you, and you think Stevie was being VERY logical when she wrote it!. . . .

My guess is it's something like: 'we're going to do it one more time?' to which Lindsey nods and says 'yeah, one more time'.

*You ALSO plan on putting the speaker real close to your ear to figure out if Stevie whispered to Mick what you THINK she said to him, after stopping by the house the first time in "Destiny Rules."

She says 'Tell Lynn 'hello'' and then goes off telling him she didn't get any rest but wrote 4 songs (and holds up 5 fingers...I love you, Stevie.)

a full list is unnecessary. this one really sums things up.
in the last 15 years or so, i've been doing it obsessively. i can give you a full lecture about stevie's albums' availability in record stores from NYC to Bangkok.

I can do that as well - only my reach stops at Shanghai

. . . .

Or, you paid an obscene amount of money to be there for the taping and made sure you caught EVERY whisper, gesture, and comment they made at each other and everyone else in their room Moreover, you openly laugh at people who tell you you did not see what you saw

[golddustorm]

Are those of us who don't know what some of these mean allowed to ask about them?

I'm with DanaX6, I think they're talking about a retake on Soundstage and Lynn in DR. But...I'm always willing to be turned onto new theories!

Oh...the B.G and D_C thing is confusing the heck out of me.

Everything else, I'm with you all 100%
