i did! i did! in my very first post in this thread!

Maybe her priorities have shifted. She might be finding peace and happiness in things other than writing music.

Oh, you can't tease like that and not elaborate. Well, you can, it is your post but I would really like it if you shared some juicy info. Or anyone else who happened to see anything!

the fact that i don't see any new stevie material in the future depresses me in so many levels...
you see, almost as long as i can remember myself i've been waiting for the next stevie nicks recording. in a way, it was looking at LIFE, knowing that EVERYTHING's gonna get better at some point in the future. new stevie material, apart from all the excitement that comes with it, is always so inspiring and uplifting, that to me it becomes a comforting tool for just about everything that's ****ting on me and my life at that given point. therefore, in a way, (and excuse me for overreacting) it makes me feel like a child who lost a parent. all my life i knew i could somehow rely on stevie's art for comfort, and now it seems like this part of my life has probably ended.

i wasn't thrilled in any way by the superbowl performance, i've seen a thousand Stand Backs, so this is just the 1001st, nothing new, nothing interesting, why even bother comparing it to all the others... maybe to some people it reminded that she's still out there, but i don't need that, coz i think about her almost every day.
what's even worse in my opinion, is that there's not even a single new song in the new album, she's got an active band, how much effort is it to record a single song, just to remind us all that she's can still do it? the last 2 albums from her and FM were their best recordings in ages, why stop now? the only reason i can think of is that her well has all dried out, and that makes me very sad.

I can understand where you're coming from, but I don't think we've heard the last from Stevie just yet. All things considered, she has been quite prolific- whether as a solo artist, a member of FM, collaborating with other artists, or putting songs on movie soundtracks. And even though it seems like she has been completely dormant in the studio these past few years, she has done some recording, e.g., the Christmas song with Chris Isaak, re-recording "Dreams" with Deep Dish, etc. I think this has become a Stevie pattern- intense periods of writing/recording (1980-1987; 2000-2003), recording sporadically (1991-1994, 2004-2005), or doing nothing in the studio (1992, 1995-1997, 2006). Every artist has hit a dry spell at some point; I can rattle off many examples of artists who were prolific early in their careers and then slowed down the pace in later years- Peter Gabriel (10 years between albums), Kate Bush (12 years between albums), Joni Mitchell (no new songs since 1998 but currently recording new songs), Bob Dylan, Lindsey Buckingham, etc.

Stevie has more than earned her current hiatus from recording. As much as I would love to have new songs from her now, I would rather wait to get some songs that were produced when the time was right for her, rather than a bunch of stuff thrown together to meet a record label deadline.

I agree with this post. We have NOT heard the last from Stevie. I think that, when the time is right in her head, she'll put together something magical. I really believe that. The guys that inspire her -- Dylan, Petty, The Eagles -- are all her age and are still putting out incredible music. She has always done things in her own fashion, so I just think that it's just a matter of time. Her touring is - aside from the money making aspect - a reminder that she's still here and gives her a chance to get inspired and write some new songs.
