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

fine, i'll stop calling you "mama back bacon"

That's why I don't like it. It makes them sound as if they thought she was wise or comforting, like a big sister or some equally atrocious perspective. I can't stand that widespread view of Stevie, that touchy-feely way of seeing her. It's like when people get back from her concerts & say how "tiny" she is or how "soft" her hands are, or something equally stomach-churning. It makes me think of all the Stevie fanatics I have ever hated.

Ew, I can't stand it. (shudder)

The soft hands thing is creepy.

It's not unlike squeezing a bunch of week-old bananas.

Seriously, I think it is okay when people comment on her hands, etc. People make comments on LB's appearance. And, during the SYW tour, people (mostly women) openly fought for LB's sweat towel. All the same, all the same, all the same . . . .

I don't think Stevie's "dragging" them down at all.

Bottom line is this: They're all getting old so, no, they aren't going to be just 110% rocking out on stage. Give them a break. When you're 60 years old, I'd like to see you do a huge tour night after night. Yeah, get back to me on that.

Mama (please don't shun me for calling her that - it's a term of affection, I promise!) stands on her feet for about two and a half hours every night, wearing the same outfits, singing the same songs, going through the same motions. Let's all cut her a little slack!
That is all!

P.S. Would we rather all members of the Mac be quietly living amongst the rest of us? Or do you want to still see them on tour and listen to new records? ... That's what I thought.

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?

No no no....that's not why *I* don't like it. I found it interesting that someone else thought of it in that way. I just don't like it for no real reason. I also don't like "La Nicks", or when people call Madonna "Madge". But I don't find it offensive. I'm just a weirdo.

I think you need to draw a hot bath, perk up a hot cup of Sumatran roast and read the lyrics to Rock a Little, in which she provides advice ("If I were you..."), plays the obedient concubine ("I'll take off my cape for you..."), lends a comforting ear ("You can talk to me..."), or gives a big sloppy wet kiss of a thank you ("this is your song..."). Albums and artists come and go, but nothing compares to the warm, gooey, fuzzy goodness of RAL-era Stevie. I hate to break this to you... but that's the same Stevie that people know and love.

And - she once and recently gathered us together to whisk us away in a spaceship to another planet

When someone referred to her as "Big Mama" all I could think of was the big owl w/a matronly, older sounding voice in The Fox and the Hound...yes, I do have young children, even as old as I am (teenager in their heyday). Stevie is so far from having a matronly voice.
