I keep thinking this, too. Has she forgotten the amazing walls she broke thru on the white album. She was a waitress one year and two years later she was touring w/ Fleetwood Mac. Over My Head, Say You Love Me and Rhiannon were all charting.

Why? Because she was in a band that created magic together. Like Alice thru the looking glass, she used to know who she was..

I agree, if it were that way then she'd never record many of her classic songs because they came from poems or demos of many years before, meaning all her songs on the white album and Bella Donna, Sara, Sisters of the moon, Beautiful child and That's alright.

But those songs were only a few years old and they were intermixed with a whole bunch of new songs and she was still very actively writing. This is an entire album filled with several decades old songs.

So what's your expiration date on poetry? Do they keep longer if you freeze them?

I hate how she keeps banging on about this 'year to make a record' thing. She knows damned well she wouldn't need to spend anywhere near a year making a record with them. Overall it might take that long but her direct input need only be a fraction of that time. She could go away and write her Welsh mini-series in the intervening three quarters of a year.

On another note- In her defense I wouldn't mind betting this interview was transcribed wrong, Rather than 'I don't understand their premise' I think it could have been 'I don't understand the premise'.

Yes, I think the transcribing could be wrong too. Part of it doesn't make sense in the flow of the questions.

She seems to be worried about money...

24K Gold IS arguably her best ever solo album (along with In Your Dreams--both, imo, the best Mac solo albums, apologies to Lindsey, Jeremy, Danny who heretofore had her beat).

But no, instead she's touring an over 2 year old album of a bunch of decades old songs and rerecording Gypsy and singing with Tom Petty. It doesn't really look like she's got a desire to actually create something.

The fact that she's touring for "an over 2 year old album of a bunch of decades old songs" shows me that Stevie really cares about those songs and not sales.

How funny but I'm not saying there's an expiration date I'm saying that the fact that instead of creating something that's actually new, you're choosing to rework entirely very, very old songs doesn't say a lot about your artistry and creativity.

Yeah but if she managed to write a song about Twilight of all things and a song based off 4 lines written about Annie Lennox that Dave sent her then I think she has it in her to be able to write something new that's meaningful IF she wants to. And it doesn't look like she wants to. I just can't get over how she said she doesn't write as many songs because the music industry is dead.
