Lindsey's album delayed means new possibilities for Stevie?

[louielouie2000]

Stevie's biggest problem is her ego. She refuses to downsize venues when it comes to touring, and it's clearly time to start scaling back. She won't record new material because she knows it won't sell millions anymore. She still wants to be that "big time rock and roll star." Yet she's still selling better than many contemporary artists that are in her league artisticly (Joseph Arthur and the like). It just seems she's turning away from her hardcore fans. She says all the time how she gave up everything to be an artist... her chance at marriage and children. It appears she gave up all that to be a STAR not an artist. I know all this is coming across rather nasty, but I'm just so frusterated as a fan right now. In my opinion Stevie is writing the better songs now than she has in almost 25 years. Her voice is also in better tune than it has been since the early '80s. Her material on Say You Will and Trouble In Shangri La got higher marks from critics than anything she's released in decades. She looks better, healthier, and happier than she has in ages. Why on earth is she relegating herself to becoming an oldies act now?? I just don't get it. Lindsey was always the one in the band who supposedly had the ego and recognition issues... yet he's totally come to terms with his "boutique appeal," and it appears he loves what he's doing regardless. I just miss Stevie... I long to hear songs about what's been going on in her life. Songs about the turmoil in the world right now, her take on things. It seems to me now more than ever that she could really make a statement as an artist. All she has to do is come at it with a different approach. Anyways... I'll stop rambling and whining now lol.
