Hilarious.

But you know what? In sincerity, she could do something with Long Distance Winner. You know a message that the runners won in the end. That explosion didn't destroy them. A day of death and pain, but a victory in the end.

Also, "erase their hell" would work in such a song too. Erase the hell that they tried to create.

I kind of figured they jetted out of the city as soon as the show was over. Had no idea they were held up there... Glad I drove 5 hours away from that city as soon as possible, or we would have been stuck too.

I was wondering if they said, "get the **** out of Boston" after the show was over because a friend asked me if I thought any of the fans were stuck in Boston under lockdown, unable to return to their homes and you were one of the people that first came to mind.

I'm very excited, actually, over this great EP!

I live in Boston the lock down in the city happen much later . the majority of the lockdown was in other towns and cities not Boston all of the police action took place in Watertown it was not horrible to staying home all day while those brave men and women get a job in a job well done ...... and considering most hotels have an early check out the band or anyone could have left by 11 12 o'clock that day

If FM was going to play that Friday night.It would of gotten canceled.

Speaking closing up the highways.I was lucky that I got home when hurricane Irene was coming up the coast and hitting Bethel NY when Stevie was there.I'm glad the she went on earlier because the state was closing up the highways do to the hurricane Irene.

That made me feel blah the next day after driving home in the hurricane.

I don't think I'd have wanted to drive through the city while that was going on, I would have stayed right in my hotel, thank you! No, but I felt incredibly safe walking around Boston on the day of the concert, with all the cops and what not

It was funny because we left the city - I know this is off topic - and we got to the Canadian border at about 5am, and they searched our vehicle (the americans), and then the canadian officers told us there was a shooting where we had come from. Good timing for us to leave! And if that concert would have been scheduled for Friday it definitely would have been cancelled - good timing, Fleetwood Mac!!!

I think it would be great if she put that effort into every show , but I realize they are just working to collect the paycheck and at best like everyone she/they tolerate most of their co-workers .

I've heard many good things about the Boston show.
I think a tragedy motivates Stevie, and she does do all she can to be an entertainer.

The boredom, and the casual eye rolls at Lindsey when he was doing a solo or got a loud response from the crowd was a little uncomfortable to watch, honestly. But when she was on- wow. I couldn't look away.

For some perspective, Stevie has been arguably busier in the past twelve months than she has been her entire career:

-She appeared in three documentary films, including one she co-directed and produced.
-She toured solo behind her recently released solo album.
-She toured solo with Rod Stewart.
-She toured with Fleetwood Mac.
-She recorded a few Fleetwood Mac songs and released an EP.
-She wrote, recorded and released a new song with the Foo Fighters.
-She performed at several intimate theatre/club shows with the Sound City Players around the U.S.
-She appeared at several film festivals around the U.S. and Canada, and even dropped by SXSW.
-She taped a television special with Lady Antebellum.
-She taped an episode of Oprah's Master Class.

New songs, concerts, TV appearances, films, live Q&As... exactly what else do you expect of this woman? And she's sober to boot.

Get a grip.

Then there was her cameo on "Up All Night." And her mentoring session on "American Idol." I saw Stevie doing all kinds of new things after the release of IYD. I haven't felt at all blah the last two years. In fact, I've been completely invigorated, and I'm a fan since 1981.

And so she should head out there and promote the things she makes and is involved in. That's all part of the job at the end of the day. No one forced her to do a lot of what you've listed anyway. She made the choice to record with the Foo Fighters, to film a cameo on a sitcom, make a documentary, tour with Rod Stewart and Fleetwood Mac. I guess it makes up for the fact that she was pretty much inactive and lazy as a recording artist for nearly a decade. I'm not surprised a lot of fans lost hope in her between TISL and IYD. As for the recording of the Fleetwood Mac EP. Four new FM songs in 10 years...big whoop! Stevie is basically a backing vocalist on the thing anyway.

Get a grip? This is a public forum and people can express whatever feelings they have.

Most people at that age are about to retire or retired and working part time at Walmart or with their grandchildren.

Poor little thing? Lol. She's not working in a factory in a third world country for next to nothing. She's a millionaire rock star promoting an album that will make her more money than most normal folk earn in 5 years. What a shame that she actually had to haul ass and promote her new record. I feel so sorry for her. Let's not forget she went 10 years without releasing hardly any new music and rightfully needed to get herself out there in 2011 to reintroduce herself to the public and let people know she had a new album out. I'm sure the 5 star hotels, jets and the royalties softened the blow of doing her job and making public appearances. Poor little thing indeed.

RickRobert · #88 05-03-2013, 09:50 AM

I really liked In Your Dreams and You Can't Fix This so as long as it's not a decade before another album I'm hunky dory in Stevie land. Fleetwood Mac isn't working but I accepted that a while back.
