That's why I love her.

At least she shakes things up a bit and provides some entertainment. I think Stevie gets asked the same questions over and over again too, she just doesn't reply the same way every time so it's not as noticeable. IMO.

And not to bash Lindsey at all because I love

him so much, but I have interviews from 1980, 25 years ago, where he is using the painting/movie making analogy!!! I'm sorry, but there is just no excuse for that

"Resting so heavily on Fleetwood Mac's laurels" to me also refers to various aspects of presentation, staging, pacing -- maybe I'm reaching here. But I think something in Stevie's solo shows besides just the choice of songs themselves made Lindsey think it was all too derivative of Fleetwood Mac concerts.

I think the comparison he draws between Fleetwood Mac shows & Christine's solo shows is less valid. I saw one of her shows (apparently it was her last) in Los Angeles, & thought it had the same sort of low-key ambience & let's-try-it-on-for-fun spirit that Lindsey's '93 solo concerts had -- a nice contrast to the typical Fleetwood Mac arena-ceiling toppler. Stevie's shows are just big rock concerts, but there's nothing else she could really do.

In fact, her show was even less programmatic than his. Essentially, her show was just a solid rehearsal in front of an audience, whereas his was an intricately planned presentation of specific musical & thematic ideas with a noticeable narrative or dramatic arc.

The funny thing is David. I saw LB's show in a "lounge". For real, it was called Peabody's Down Under.

And yes Christine's show was very intimate. It was so much better than the VHS she put out. What a bad production that was.

Well, most people, I can do without GYOW for the rest of my life. LOL If he did a solo songs only tour, I'd most certainly be there for every one and I know some others who would as well.

Oh yeah, me too! I've seen FM anyway, so an LB solo set list would be kinda nice

Well, it's possible he could have been talking aesthetics

, but it has never really been an option for her to play smaller venues. She has always had to put on a big rock show. I would love to see Stevie play smaller more intimate venues where she could be more low-key and just play whatever songs she wanted. Maybe we will get to see that one day

Sorry, but I'd never stop laughing at the sight of the fairy princess tripping over her stupid chiffon. That video clip would be an animated signature waiting to happen.

I guess I was asuming she would be hurt or something - which I would not laugh at.

Ok, but in the real world he came to the realization that was'nt gonna happen. Even if you had a tour called "Were not playing the hits" (which I rather like as a name for a tour

) there would still be people calling out for them and acting bored when you play new or unfamilar stuff. Maybe his comment was'nt dumb just naive. Would'nt it be really cool if Fleetwood Mac played a Ledgie concert and did all the songs that we requested? Now who's being naive
