also over are the days of "unpredictable" performances....spontaneous "exchanges" on the stage...and the energy and enthusiasm only youth or "whatever" can "fuel"....
some of us have been doing this for 30+ years...running around, emptying our pockets, keeping "the faith"...and for many years...wondering, if they'd EVER get back together and specifically, if stevie nicks would even SURVIVE......
im sorry this is a long post...but, at this point, we just need to be thankful.....for ALL it has been & all thats been "GIVEN".... theyre ALIVE...we're ALIVE...they look GOOD...they sound GOOD....theyre still TRYING ` when they could just be sitting in their "small (lol) but elegant homes - by their small but...pools...." i just heard SOTM (thanx 4 posting)...was it "speaking in tongues' ? get serious....but to have heard this song LIVE as 1 of MY "bucket-list 5" (SOTM, BC, storms, sara and SS) is a - 30 yrs later- dream come true...and i thought it was AMAZING she took the RISK - KNOWING what 2 performances it would be compared to...how brave of her !!!!! (we've waited a "looooooong time)
a final thought....what IF...their people visit here and tell them all the hurtful things that are said based on UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS and it gives weight to the INSECURITY we know they, FOR SURE, and stevie nicks (in particular) ADMITS (IYD doc ) she already has...and she....just...STOPS......???

how many of us would be happy then....?

Just wanted to say -- I think this is an awesome post and it really puts things into perspective. Thank you!
