My point is, I guess I don't really expect Stevie to do anything for me just because I call myself a fan. But I wish she'd do something more for herself, to be growing and learning and alive as an artist.

It is a bit sad to see Stevie stagnating. Especially since she's always expressed her love of what she does. How important it is to her. That's what makes this interview so puzzling. It's mostly a 180, except for the Klonopin bit.

It is a sort of 'laying it at the fans feet' argument. We don't want to listen to a different setlist, so that won't change. We have to pee sometimes when she's singing, so she won't do anything but the standards in concert. We'll steal her music, so what's the point of a new album?

It's quite disappointing. If the thrill is gone, we shouldn't take the blame for that.
