Feeling some sympathy for Stevie

[Jondalar]

As I listened to Stevie's radio interviews, it occurred to me that selling yourself and album at 63 years old is a hard thing. She has to explain to people why she is opening for Rod Stewart, why Lady from the Mountain is really the Twilight song, why she didn't make a record in 2005, among other things. It seems to me like she still is looking for some type of validation as a writer, which is bogus. Who cares if she is only get sole songwriting credit on 3 songs.Many of her songs have stood the test time. Who cares when they were written. She also has been explaining to people why she does Stand Back on Ellen.

I don't know, but she is 63 years old. The explanations need to stop. I feel sorta sorry for her. She obviously had a great time making this record. She fealt renewed by it. We are getting a new album and by all indications it's a good one. After hearing the interviews, I do believe it will be the last one. She is excited, but there is something in her voice that tells me she can't do this for much longer. All the little things about the Twilight song, opening for Rod, blah, blah, blah are casting a shadow over things.

Truthfully, I never really thought she would do another record. Well, we are getting one. Maybe her Swan Song. And think about it, she is the only in that band, that actually promotes Fleetwood Mac. I mean she works for the attention... and is still doing it at 63.
