Nor did I tell you to withold your opinions.

I think I explicitly stated that maybe you should be the one to get over it if you don't like the discussion. Has nothing to do with witholding your opinions. Assmunch.

Instead of getting over it, I decided to disagree with it in print. Thanks, though!

Good thing you're camera works because you'd have a glimpse of a certain finger right now.

Assmunch.

Can I just say that I think Stevie's voice rocks more now then it did say back in the 70's. I just love the way TISL opens with that whisky voice. She has a weird smokey sort of voice now and she doesn't try to hide it! Her vocals I think are warmer now, I can't put it into words. But for me at least, her raspy pipes are one of the main things that attracts me to her. And without all the abuse her voice took for decades she would not sound the same today. So... for some people her current voice is a good thing!

And about retiring from the road.... Nooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

The four shows I saw on the SYW tour were the best four nights of my life. I didn't take my eyes off Stevie for one second. I can't wait for a new solo album but also can't wait for a new solo tour. I guess it makes me sort of sad knowing I never got to experience any of the FM and Stevie tours Pre-SYW. I wish I was born in the 60's so I could have seen these tours. I would have "prefered the last generation" as Stevie puts it! Anyways, I just don't want Stevie to stop touring the second I become old enough to go to the shows. That is just plain unfair/unfortunate!

I don't mind the criticisms and opinions, etc. (and God knows, I LOVE the debates), but I do think sometimes that we... myself included... sound like spoiled little brats.

"Stevie should sing the way I like best."
"Stevie should write her lyrics the way I say she should."
"Stevie should wear the clothes and footwear I think she'd look best in."
"Stevie should only record the songs that I like."

It is pretty self-centered, and we've all been guilty of it from time to time, and to one degree or another.

Everything you listed is her product, Stew, and we are the consumers. It's not selfish to want her product to sound a certain way, it just may not be practical. If she recorded a rap album and littered it with "fo shizzles," I'm pretty sure you'd want her to get back to her normal music. If she did a show where she sang the telephone book, I'd be willing to bet that you, as the consumer, would be left wanting the Stevie of old.

Not really, but your finger suits you, Assmunch.

I don't look at the music as "product" though... I consider it art.
And I wouldn't tell da Vinci to make the Mona Lisa a blond, or Michelangelo to put some trousers on David.

I'm perfectly willing to express what I like or dislike about a piece of art, but I'm not comfortable with suggesting that I know better than the artist when it comes to their art.

I don't have to love all of it, in order to respect the artist's need to express themselves in whatever manner they desire.

The packaging, the liner notes, the pricing... that's all part and parcel of the product. The music contained therein is art. At least in my opinion.

Right, and when she does sing the phone book someday, let me know how you're feeling.

It may be art, but it's still a product. It's manufactured to sell, that's why she prays to the commercial gods.
