I have seen tons of famous people walking around on the street, but I would never, ever feel it within my rights to crowbar myself into their world just because I recognized them or watched/read/listened to/admired their works. A friendly wave from a distance is where I draw the line.

i met her in a hotel giftshop, we were on opposite sides of a book spinner. i wouldn't have stalked her, but there was my IDOL 2 feet away!!! so we had a nice chat. if i had seen her at her gate or something from afar, not sure what i would have done

I probably mention this before on the Ledge.About 10 to 12 years ago .I had a chance to meet Emmylou Harris at her concerts here in Connectcut at the college auditoriums .The show ended about 10pm or so.I happen to be going back to my car at the time.I happen to see her tour bus on the side of the parkinglot.There was a line of people about 10 to 15 standing in line at the bus.So I stop to see what was up.They said they are waiting to meet Emmylou .I said Oh my god.Then they said just stay inline you will have a chance too.The line move and the next thing I was in the bus meeting Emmylou .She signed a tee shirt and notice I had a Stevie Nicks tee on and mentioned "Oh .I love Stevie Nicks.I'm a fan of hers too".I think it was one of the "Enchanted" tour tee's.She's .We chat a couple of seconds about country music in general.Shake hands and went home with a big smile.And this happend again when Emmlou toured the following year.Meet and greet.Handshake ,chat.signed a photo.Today I'm still kicking my a$$ because I did not have a working camera at the time for these moments.I was not expected to meet anybody those nights while going to find my car.

So why can't Stevie do something like this?

I don't know

As was mentioned earlier in this thread.Probably time,safety.and other stuff mentioned.

As I watch American Idol to see these kids trying to get a break in the biz.I hope they have a level head and know what they will be up for in the future if they make it..Personally I don't wan't the headaches of that kind of job.This woman"Stevie" has work her a$$ off for almost 40 years of her life for this.

Probably even without a full running fanclub she"Her people" and NicksFix probably work with the venues for good tickets for her close fans.Have it stated in the riders that the venues receive and they got to comply to it.

That was nice they did last year with the signing plus the Wilturn show.

Have been a huge fan since the Rumours era.To me Stevie has always been about mystery.I never wanted to meet her because meeting her would likely diminish the mystery.The Edge walk handshake I have done.

I guess, but look at it from her perspective, empathize a little. Would you really want throngs of people throwing themselves at you night after night, after you've worked your ass off on stage for them? Also, she's heard it all before "oh, I love you" "Oh, your songs saved my life." It's all well good, but I'm sure giving her heart and soul (no pun intended) on stage to her fans every night is as much energy as she'd like to expend especially now that she's in her 60's. I don't know, I could be completely wrong, but it looks awful to me, all those fans wanting a piece of you. Ick.

Forget what they got. Doesn't she cancel shows because of pneumonia like every other year? You don't know what she's got.

I think thats got to do with the crappy air we breathe and her breathing .I'm not worried about Stevie's germs getting on my hands..I'm worried about the fans germs.God only knows what they touch before they head down to the stage.

Yeah, that's why I often think how upset Sharon and Lori should be when she comes up to them after the Edge Walk and rubs her crowd ebola'd gloves all over them. Stay away lady.
