Could SAY YOU WILL be IT????

You can justify Stevie's lack of inspiration however you want and enumerate examples ad nauseum to prove your point, but that won't change the fact that she simply cannot write the way she once did. I think other objective-minded folks have made similar comments on these boards.

Objective minded? I'm sorry CarneVaca, but you are OBVIOUSLY so subjective to Lindsey's music just as a lot of us are to Stevie's music. And don't sneer back with "Did I say I was being objective?" because that's what you meant. Anything against Stevie is simply an objective standpoint for you, yet one foul word against Lindsey and it's the pits for any Stevie fan. YOU THINK Stevie can't write the way she used to, I THINK you are wrong. There is clearly no objectivity around the case at all, and many people argue if there even is such a thing as total objectivity. Aren't you a journalist of some kind? You should know that. So Stevie writes with the same three chords, WELL, did you like the OTHER songs she wrote with those same three chords?

As for not allowing people to like her music, any decent comment about a Stevie song is 9 times out of 10 rebuffed by a smug comment -- either she can't write anymore or she's just some stupid blonde girl who can't do anything brilliant. And no, I'm not putting words in your mouth (except maybe about the "stupid blonde girl" part), these are things you've said right here in this thread. I'd love to be able to remember the many other remarks you've made about Stevie.

As for everything else going on around here, you people need to take a careful look at yourselves. If you guys are Fleetwood Mac's biggest and best fans, then I don't know why I would EVER want to pursue a singing career. All that's around this place is comments about how Fleetwood Mac are money grubbing assholes, or how they don't give a damn about their fans, or that they are so inefficient releasing new albums. I think I've skipped probably 5 threads today just because I knew they'd be talking about what a bunch of ignoramouses Fleetwood Mac is. It's not even pleasant to come here anymore. Someone posted in chit chat about there being too much negativity around here, and I thought it was a ridiculous post. Now I'm beginning to see its merit.

Lastly, and more light heartedly, CarneVaca, have you ever thought of being a rhetor of some kind. You'd be very good at it I think.
