I don't know where it came from but I was walking to work today and all of the sudden I said to myself, "mistress of my fate!" so of course I automatically thought of The Dealer and that this was some sort of sign that I need to know what this song is about and that there's something significant about it for me. I've never felt this way before about The Dealer, it never stood out to me although I know it's a fan favorite. I tried analyzing the lyrics and now I'm even more confused. I know it's some metaphor for a card shark or such but what the heck is this song about? Can any of you share your insights and opinions please!!

Is it bad that if I was a woman, I'd totally buy this?

It's sort of brilliant.

Default My Stevie Moment for the day !

The proudest moment of my life happened yesterday, my younger sister was sitting with me whilst i was playing the 1976 midnight special and Stevie was going all out on Rhiannon and my sister just started singing along !
Now she wasn't a Stevie fan and she had just picked up the lyrics from me playing Stevie all the time, so I spent that day playing her my entire back catalogue of Stevie and she is now on her way to becoming a fully fleged Stevie fan :')

Is that from etsy? I got a Rumours bag from there last year which I refuse to use, it's so nice lol.

Edit: Ignore that question. Just noticed the url, haha. I'm so ditsy today. I'm high on a combination of Lindsey music and Lindsey tickets bought.

That's talent! I was blown away the other day when listening to Lindsey's Law and Order album. Satisfied Mind started playing and my Mum was in the bathroom next door singing along. Turns out she's loved the song for years but couldn't remember who performed it or anything. I'm slowly but surely turning her into a Lindsey fan, which is made easier because I dragged her to the Unleashed show in Manchester in 2009 and her favourite parts were the Lindsey solos. Love it. She very rarely shows musical taste, haha.

I bought the Christine etsy coasters and I arranged them very lovingly in their bowl (which was actually a copy of Christine's LP shaped into a saucer) and set them on the wetbar. When I actually had company and someone had the audacity to grab a couple of coasters for their drinks I was slightly alarmed. I guess I should let people know that they are just there "for decorative display only."

When my Nan was alive and somebody used to go and use the "fancy coasters", she would hit them on the knuckles with the full stack of them. That taught them very quickly

Default Dreams

So I had a really, really intense Stevie dream last night. Must have had something to do with the Emmy's. There seems to be a recurring theme with these lately as they all end somewhat the same. Here it goes:
There is a private, invite only event for a new dress that Stevie designed. Shockingly it is a little summer halter dress (one dress only) that comes in 4 bright colors (orange, hot pink, lime-green, and sky blue). The event is outdoor on a wide, grassy knoll with bleachers set up for journalists/publicists/fashion people who were invited. Somehow some way I sneak my way in and I see Stevie sitting completely alone in one of those high director's chairs wearing a black chiffon dress, shocking lol. I go up to her and we have this really deep conversation and she tells me we are going to be great friends and we connect on a level that one just can't describe. She compliments me, says she can relate to everything I'm saying and that we share something special. Then I have her sign some something just like at Amoeba and say "make sure you spell my name right, Lindsay with an a not an e like you're used to (this is exactly what Karen said to her at the real signing). It was such an amazing feeling! You know when she looks you in the eyes and you feel as though you are the only person in her world? I wish I could remember what we talked about but I only remember the feelings associated with it. That undeniable human connection and I felt so damn special!
Anyway everyone waits in line in rows of those bar things like at airport security and then we all sit in the bleachers and listen to Stevie talk about the new dress. When it's over everybody just kind of leaves but I go over and say to Stevie, "Don't you want my number? You said we were going to keep in touch and that you loved me and we were going to be besties" at which point she laughed and said "You didn't think I was serious did you? I say that to all my fans. You're not special honey, I was totally lying" or something to that effect.
Needless to say, I was devastated.

I'm sorry that you're dream ended like that, it was going so well until then, if it was me I probably would've woken up and cried ! LOL !

'That's Alright' sounds a lot like 'Take It Easy' by the Eagles.

Or maybe I'm crazy.

I don't think you are!

I always think 'Sorcerer' and 'Listen To Her Heart' by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers sound a little similar.

I hear it!

'Nothing Ever Changes reminds me ever so slightly of 'You Got Lucky' by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, I think it's got to do with the arrangement, not so much the melody or anything.
