I do seriously think this would be a factor in her deciding to do this or not. The fact that is is die-hard fans doesn't necesserily mean it would be a good thing in her eyes. JMO

So Brian W. IS The Wiz? He has denied that in the past. Not too reassuring, that.

Oh well. No reason to fight over it at this point. I'm sure Brian will eventually issue the refunds to those that ask for them, so if people want to continue to let him hold their money in order to keep their hopes alive, they are welcome to do so.

However some artist: Heart, Pat, Country singers do give a flying shiit about their hard core fan base.

Bingo. Of course Stevie doesn't owe her fans anything, and she's got every right to run her career and her concerts as she sees fit - but it sure would be nice if she showed a little more appreciation for her more dedicated fans, and it's difficult not to notice the contrasts when there are so many other artists out there who do make it a point to do special things for their die-hard supporters, whether that means fan club privileges or setlist surprises or more personal contact or whatever else.

If you're referring to the Concord show on the Enchanted Tour... The guy wasn't a fan. He was the estranged husband of a woman who was attending the show. He hung himself on a pole outside the venue, probably to get back at her. So he doesn't count as one of her crazed fans.

Well if you repeatedly critized MY hair, weight and menopause I'd sure not count you as a loyal and loving fan. I'd be scared of anyone who put that much interest in my bodily functions.

Hey guess what? She doesn't owe you anything. She is a musician not your mother. Get over it. If Heart and Pat Benatar want to do things for their fans then let them, that's THEIR prerogative it doesn't have anything to do with Stevie. You act as if this is what musicians are SUPPOSED to do for their fans. It's not, it's a privilege if we get something like this, not our friggin' birthright. What a load of crap.

You know, that's always been my stance, as well. That being said, I can see *wishing* she would do more things like the other musicians mentioned, but I'm certainly not going to be pissed at Stevie for NOT being like that! I really think that Stevie has some freaky fans that make her nervous. Hell, she even has fans that don't seem to like her! The woman has given me years of beautiful music. YEARS! Music that still makes me tear up when I hear it.

I totally agree Janet. I feel lucky that I discovered her music and that she's given me so much joy and pleasure from it. I feel lucky that I've been able to go to several Fleetwood Mac and Stevie solo shows in the past 6 years and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I'm more than satisfied. I don't need a vile of her blood around my neck to be satisfied with "what she's given me" as a fan .

I believe Mageboy said as much.

No disrespect to Pat or Ann, but Stevie is just on another level in terms of sales, status, and recognition.

Yeah in a later post and as a flimsy aside. I think the general consensus is that people believe that this performance is, in a sense, owed to them as "die-hard fans" when that couldn't be farther from the truth. When you start down that path of reasoning it gets really scary. I mean, what else are we going to get it in our head that she owes us? See what I mean?

I think it was said kind of tongue-in-cheek.
