I think that tweet exchange comes across as a bit obsessive, and puts a lot of people in a negative light. It reminds me of that old Christmas cartoon "Twas the Night Before Christmas" where the one mouse sends Santa a letter saying "no one" believes in him, so Santa gets pissed and doesn't come.

Looks obsessive to me too. Break open the meds.

[jkmaletic]

...obsessive. seriously? Ok. I'll call my doctor tomorrow.

[sorcerer999]

I didn't think it was obsessive. I thought it was cute!

From now on ..don't speak for an "entire community "
Without asking first

Ok, this is just going a bit too far. There is no reason to resort to name calling.
I personally felt Jamie's tweets were very tongue in cheek. It was @jobieadobie1 comments on twitter that were rude and went a bit too far imo. The tone on the Ledge was getting a bit tense around when the heck fans were going to see the SL video or trailer aka "sizzle reel".

Lets put this in perspective. Yes, while Dave has been a saint with info/pics and general tidbits. He also sent out straight up ambiguous tweets AND fired off his mouth too early on twitter. He practically promised a trailer for In Your Dreams would be released a few weeks ago, then ate a crow sandwich when Warners said NO, as well as saying the video for Secret Love was about 2 weeks out - 2 weeks ago, and then repeated the same thing again this Friday!?! So Dave is responsible for our expectations right or wrong.

That said, I think everyone should just calm down and give Jamie a break, she got the message. And remember she gave us great info herself after witnessing the IYD's preview 2 weeks ago. This is not the end of the world, its just twitter

[Jondalar]

She's trying to get info from him. It doesn't matter. He basically said it's in Warner hands now. He just finished an album with Josh Stone in like record time. He's mindful of Stevie's fans and he does try to keep us informed but he's working with other artists too and they have their own fans.

He did a good job for us.

I'm pretty sure Dave knows Jamie wasn't speaking for all of Stevie's fans, or even all of us on The Ledge.

Guys like Dave & Sheryl Crow & Tom Petty all know how tootie-fruity Stevie fans are. It's music industry knowledge that, by agreeing to work with Stevie, you contractually agree to tolerate her tootie-fruity world & all its denizens.

See my blog for additional details.

LOL! Tootie-Fruity. I like that adjective. Sometimes I'm Cuckoo For Coco Puffs too.

If nothing else has come from this thread, at least we've gained use of the phrases 'tootie-fruity' and 'eat a crow sandwich' (the latter of which is my new favourite).

Dave doesn't have to do keep us updates the way he has been. If people continue to harass and b***h at him he'll just stop altogether and we'll only have ourselves to blame. Or, more accurately, a particular group of fans. Thank him and give the guy a break!

I agree. If some fans are this aggressive and antsy, it may ruin it for the rest of us. It's not like there aren't other artists and music to listen to until this album of Stevie's drops.

idk, it took me a few minutes to figure out the initial complaint here. When I read:

"on a VERY popular Stevie/FM site fans have been getting cranky about the hastened release of IYD. this has now led to skepticism regarding IYD's potential as a great Stevie Nicks album"

I thought it sounded like this person is saying that her fans were complaining and worrying that the cd was coming out too soon, too fast, and so we were doubting it being that good, since it was being rushed/hastened. Being quick, rather than awesome.

Then he asks - "you were in San Diego then?" I felt like he was thinking, uh-oh, how did this nut get in? lol! Sorry. That was just what first came to my mind when I read this.

Hmmm. I didn't read it that way at all. I described the event I went to as Sunset Sessions, which is what it was called. He probably mentioned San Diego because that might have been all Stevie's people mentioned to him (which is where it was held).

You're okay by me, pal, you're okay by me. The only thing I don't like about you is your photo of a post-drug Stevie in your banner. That's all wrong. Stevie without the drugs is like cream of wheat without the butter & salt. Remember: cokey is better than pokey.

Use this picture instead.

I would just say that the fires haven't been put out very well...

"cokey is better than pokey"?? Another hilarious one! You're funny.

The pic in my banner was taken of Stevie right after the event I went to.
