disrespectful? because she chose not to be a mother? oh geez.

what should we call her, "not the mama"? please.

I think it's cute when y'all call Stevie "Mama."

"Big Mama," on the other hand, is what we called my great-grandmother....

Stevie use to refer to herself as a Rock Dinosaurette.

I have only seen one show of this tour (Rochester). But I noticed Stevie's energy was comparatively low. She sang VERY well on few tunes but her stage presence was somewhat lacking.

Lindsey, Mick, and John, however, were a powerhouse trio.

Women age differently than men, and I think Stevie is doing remarkably well. However, she should ditch those boots and stick to one dress per show. Hell, I think she could mix it up by wearing PANTS on stage, shedding the whole former chiffon thing. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is her voice--and that is still a unique instrument.

And a body to go with it.

As for his hair . . . it's doing ok. They used to say that baseball caps made men bald faster, but I'm thinking the pony tail John and Mick were always into didn't help much either.

Stevie's hair is indeed her crowning glory. I like it a lot.

Oh good grief- all this bellyachin' over "Mama."

clearly I don't mean any disrespect, and I'm certainly not mocking her choice not to have children. It's a term of endearment- not unlike "dear" or "honey." The moniker implies that the person imparts wisdom and is a nurturer and comforter. Haven't you heard the phrase "trust mama on this one," I.e., take it from one who is wise. Accordingly, "Mama" is not defined as a specific gender or age. Mama fits Stevie perfectly, not only because she is the imparted of words of comfort and joy; she also adheres to very matronly values, which would be a more literal interpretation. And finally, she still fits the bill as a "hot mama.". You don't find that offensive too, do y'all?

just for the record, I think it's cute when you call her that. No offense taken.

Still don't like it. I just know that I would not want to be called that. Especially if I've never had children. I am a mother and I still hate it. I don't think Stevie would like it either IMO

It is so matronly. As far as "hot mama", I think the new term is MILF
