In their defense, a lot of us were saying the same things about Don Henley last summer.

I, on the other hand, am totally bummed that Stevie probably won't be at Darien Lake on Tuesday.

I don't think they really "hate" here. I think the TP fans have many of the same issues Mac fans do in that the setlist doesn't change much or at all. And they feel that Stevie being there cuts out the opportunity that TP will play something out of the blue or unexpected. Something they haven't heard in years or at all since it's his 30th anniversary. They just want Tom to dig deeper into his catelogue. Sure some don't like her and that's fine, but really, it's not like she's there for half the show singing away. And she's singing TP songs. And there's plenty that are standing up and saying they liked her being there.

F*** them! I hope Stevie doesn't continue touring with Tom Petty just so those people won't have the priviledge and honor of seeing her in person. His fans are really weird...i mean, how in the hell could you not love Stevie!!??

we were all bitching (at least i was) about the tour with don last year, but i think this is completely different. she actually only sings (noticeably) on three songs, all of which are his - at least in part. if don was hanging around last summer to simply duet on a few songs, i may have actually looked forward to his presence.

and tom hasn't been messing with his setlist all tour. grrr, why do i feel like i need to defend Homegirl?

Yea, and that pic of Stevie as a "horse trainor" is absolutely stunning!

Obviously, you didn't bother to actually read the board before posting this drivel on here. If you actually look at what people are saying, the overall message is "We like Stevie, but - since this may be Tom's last tour - we just want to see the boys, not the boys AND Stevie Nicks." Even the person who said "BEAT IT STEVIE" goes on to explain that he/she thinks Tom might mix up the setlist more if she isn't there - the implication, of course, is that her presence obligates him to play "Stop Draggin My Heart Around," "Insider," and "I Need to Know." And without her, he can replace those with something else.

Also, for every comment saying "I hope she isn't there," there's at least one more saying "I hope she is."

Seriously? Just because you worship the ground she walks on and are of the opinion that her **** doesn't stink, doesn't mean that other people - especially fans of another band - are obligated to agree with you. And there are plenty of people out there who would find you weird for loving Stevie.

Oh thank God. Petty's fans don't have to live through sleepless nights worrying that Stevie's flying vagina of death will eat them alive during the concert.

Not saying they have to love her, but they don't have to hate her either...

Good God I can't believe I'm agreeing with you on something

But yeah - saying "F**k 'em?" ...a bit harsh. I can totally understand the frustration some Tom fans might have

And I've been a rabid Stevie fan for years now - I've come to terms with the fact that not everyone likes her, in fact there are many people who can't stand her (just like with EVERY artist).

And no one HAS to hate someone - they just sometimes to. I don't HAVE TO hate Mariah Carey, I just do (with a fiery passion) - and there are people who feel the same way about La Nicks. It's a fact of life - there will always be people who don't like/hate people that you happen to like/love. This life lesson brought to you by the letter T.

I think it's great that Stevie fans get to see her this tour - but I can totally understand the Tom setiments as well

RockALittle250 · #12 08-13-2006, 12:05 PM

Yea, my first outburst may have been a bit harsh, it was just my initial reaction to the Stevie backlashing on the TP forums. Although most people are saying they do like Stevie, the ones who don't, really don't, and i dunno, i'm just viewing it from my own Stevie fan perspective and not a Tom Petty fans' perspective.

If you actually read the Petty message board, you'll see that they DON'T HATE HER. There's a lot of love for Stevie on those boards, but the comments are being taken out of context.

Do your homework before you make judgements.

Personally, I wish Tom would stop hogging Stevie's setlist. I mean c'mon, he sings with her on like four songs, and three of those are just harmony. The other 85% of the concert is just Tom doing a bunch of songs without Stevie. Stevie doesn't even do any of her own songs on stage! I know Tom's a special guest and all but that's just freakin' ridiculous!
