Angel live in Portland?

[bombaysaffires]

younger generations don't know anything beyond the hits and she'll cater to them as long as they're buying tickets. She's not an artist and hasn't been for a long time now. She's just selling product. It's why she can't write anything worth crap anymore either. She's not out having raging love affairs and that's all she can write about so....no new material. And she's been resting on her laurels for a long time now too.

I watched the BBC documentary about Ozzy Osbourne (there's a second one streaming as well which I haven't watched yet) and he and his family were talking about how bad it got for him (real, serious depression) when his medical stuff made it impossible for him to finish what was supposed to be his big farewell tour. At one point he talked about how you get into that groove of being in the studio, making an album, putting it out, rehearsing for a tour, then touring for months...and when you aren't doing that it's totally disorienting and depressing and all. It deffo made me think of Stevie and how she too is so used to that routine....she complained all during COVID about how bored she was not able to go out and do stuff (neither could real people, stevie) and it made me think how when she WAS so crazy busy for years with solo and FM stuff non stop all she could do was whine about time off and moving to a remote castle on a cliff by the ocean or a mobile home in Malibu by the ocean and just being with her art and her music and her dogs... and she couldn't hack it at all when she was forced to do it. She really did make the music biz her whole life and it's going to be disastrous when she stops. So my bet is she really won't ever stop til she physically can't. And even then she'll do what Ozzy ended up doing, and Joni Mitchell has done-- sit onstage in a big chair and sing.
