Stevie Taking questions on TODAY - Page 2

SandyMac · #16 03-29-2007, 05:21 PM

This was my question:

Stevie, Thank you for being so candid on the Crystal Visions collection on what inspired you to write the songs and the stories behind them.

Are you still inspired to write new material for release some day? Your fan base is loving this release and also yearns for new material to rock to and enjoy for years to come.

A follow up question if I may:
I love seeing you in concert. Your Stand Back spins are a crowd favorite. How do you prevent from getting dizzy or missing the microphone when coming out of the spins?

(I know the Stand Back spins question is kind of lame, but had to think of a question that she will feel safe in answering).

Is that it??? That's all the ?'s she is going to answer? I mean that's cool, but I thought it would be even a bit longer than that. =0(

I did too... I had visions of her sitting there with someone typing sifting through pages and pages of questions... answering TONS!

Oh well...

I have to admit, I was disappointed to hear that even though Stevie is writing, the next possible release will not be her material, but rather blues standards.
But then I got to thinking... I think some Stevi-fied blues songs would rock.
Maybe put an edgier sound to them. Hell, even if she just covers the songs exactly, would be interesting. Pat Benatar did the same type of thing with BB King's songs and I enjoy listening to that CD. So, it could work if done right.

nice manicure!

I think a standards (blues?) album would be a great change of pace for her. I know a lot of rock fans don't especially like things like that, but whatever. I love Joni Mitchell's standards album. And is it weird that this is the first time she's ever mentioned an Aunt Carmal??

catinthedark · #23 03-30-2007, 10:06 PM

^^ ugh. sorry - i can't agree. i heard that and just groaned. actually, i groaned first at the fact that she wants to work with david foster - and i'm a canadian!! what david foster produces is such total bland, middle of the road pablum. music for elevators. and to me, a rock and roll singer is signalling she is old and done when she starts doing the "old standards." yawn.

okay - fire away.

diamondsnake · #24 03-30-2007, 10:13 PM

I was also confused by Aunt Carmel. How come we have never heard of her before?

I am excited that she is still writing. I think we will see some new stuff eventually.

And a Blues Cover album could be kind of cool. I just love hearing her voice, even if she didn't write the songs. This could be interesting.

sparky · #25 03-30-2007, 11:02 PM

I'd love to hear her do something different. At least she'd be singing something new and unusual and evolving a bit. Even if they are old standards and the idea isn't fresh.

Done? Did someone say done?

"Done" is singing 32 year old songs on the talkshow circuit, folks.

In my opinion (yeah, yeah, who asked for it), an artist is only "done" when they're dead. Until then, their paths are filled with peaks and valleys.
Some of us are only interested in going along for the ride, if we get to determine the destination... others are just happy to see where the road takes us.

Anyone who doesn't like where Stevie's going, should get out of the car and start hitchhiking.

Could you mix one more metaphor? Just for fun?

That looks like her circa 2001. If that's her now, it looks like she's slowed down the aging process.

Ooh, I've been zinged! Love it. Although, technically, it was all one travelling metaphor.

i'm going to assume - and to be honest, hope - that you are kidding here? that that's what the smiley face means? because otherwise, i don't think anyone has the right to tell me to stop being a fan just because i don't love every single solitary move she makes. or to imply that i'm only interested, as you say, for the ride. you? have no idea of what you speak, my friend, if you think i'm only interested in the ride if i get to choose the destination. how condescending. and i certainly don't have to explain or defend my feelings about stevie nicks to anyone.
