Open Letter to Stevie

An Open Letter To Stevie Nicks:

Dear Stevie,
I'm writing on behalf of the fans. I don't know what you might have in mind for your upcoming shows this summer, but let me offer a suggestion. You have said that you loved touring with Tom Petty a couple years back because it allowed you to do something different. You've said that you loved doing "Beautiful Child" and "Storms" on the last two Fleetwood Mac tours because it let you do something new (most would agree those were highlights of the shows). Same with when you did "Crash" on your last solo tour. Stevie, you can do any song you want at your shows. I know you feel that you have to do the hits because otherwise people will walk out upset because they didn't hear that one song they wanted to hear. That just gives them a reason to go see you next time around. Most of your fans going your shows have seen you many times already, this August will my 12th time (9th tour) seeing you since 1986. We love anything you do, but feel free to throw in those rare songs you haven't done in awhile or at all on stage. Back in 1998 you said you were unsure about your set for the "Enchanted" tour, Stevie that was one of your best sets because you did songs that we love but have rarely been performed live.
Like I said I don't know what you have planned for these shows, but let your imagination run wild. Don't worry about dropping songs like "Gold Dust Woman" or "Landslide" or even "Dreams" or whatever. We the fans would totally understand if in their places we got "Angel" or "Leather & Lace" or "Nothing Ever Changes" or "Kind Of Woman" etc. My point is you don't have to do what you think we want to hear, do want you would like to sing. We're there to see you, we'll go wherever you lead us.
