And yes Stevie, some of us have to go to the bathroom especially when you do covers no one is interested in. Give me a break.

Good point.....totally agree.....heck we all have to go to the rest room til we bust sometimes......even Stevie (other artists) have to go.....were human....give me a break.....it doesn't mean your any less of a fan cause well you've got to go to the bathroom......bs really....

I'd be all over that like white on rice.


Also, I'm not a Record Executive who's paid to determine whether a business decision he makes is going to significantly help increase his mega-corporation's profits compared to another decision which could be made. (For example, taking that money and using it to market Madonna's next album and tour even more strongly, making another video for Madonna, etc.)

Record Executives may be Stevie's biggest fans in the world, in their private lives. But professionally, they don't give a crap whether Stevie's albums sell or not. What they care VERY much about (i.m.o.) is whether they will sell MORE than another potential money-maker. They don't answer to the artists or to us, they answer to the stockholders.

Q. When can we expect the next Stevie Nicks studio project?

A. I don't know. That's why I'm doing more greatest hits and going back in the vaults and finding cool stuff that might bring people out to Borders and Starbucks to buy a record. I can do a solo record, but what will happen is 1,000 hard-core fans will buy it and push the send button and send it to 5 million others. That makes me wonder, why bother? People are stealing our songs.
