Stevie sure brings out the crazies!

Well, I'm certainly not going to post a link or anything, but the old (and virtually dead) Stevie group on UseNet sure brings out the lunatic fringe. The most recent post there is an asinine, lurid story by some sick **** with a diahrrea fetish. No, really.

Can anyone explain why Stevie brings out such a disproportionate number of crazies? Bill Gamelson, the guy who wanted to kidnap her and force her to cure his homosexuality, the crazed fan who raped that impersonator, diahrrea fetishists, the guy who did dozens of nude portraits of her, ebay members selling her snot rags, the religious fundamentalists who tried to ban her music, ex-fans fantasizing about gagging and raping Stevie for releasing songs they didn't like... are there any other female singers out there with a concert security watch list longer than Stevie's?

I think its because, they're so far in their "own little world" that the "little world" that Stevie creates around herself is really appealing to them. I think they feel like "she's the leader of their pack."

I don't know if that makes any sense. I'm sleepy.

Maybe someone can turn what I'm saying into something more understandable.

Well, many of them she used to hire.

I can think of another very crazy fan but since they were banned from here a few years back I won't go into detail.

Don't forget the people who quit jobs, pack their stuff and move to Phoenix JUST because Stevie has a house there.

Yea That scares me,I dont want to see Stevie get shot from a employee,like Selena did. Also I think any artists got to worry about nutcases stalking them.

Stevie's unique and ethereal image and persona seem to attract quite an array of fans, from the exquisitely eccentric, to the obsessive loons, as well as "regular Joes"...she can just touch so many people with her music and her, well, Magick.

I think that's about right. I think also the psychologists would also say that she reminds them of their mothers. Literally, for real. Stevie kinda plays certain "games," i.m.o., with her sensuality, her attractiveness and so on and also plays the "motherly" card at the same time. Unfortunately some people don't get that it's just a game, and is just for fun or at most a "teaching tool" that she uses along with her music, or more cynically, a way to rake in some major buckage.
I think maybe some of them also get the impression that she's some kind of "Angel," and then when they find out that uhmmm . . . she's kinda human and uhhh - not an angel . . . they get angry. Seems to me those kinds of people tend to be very judgmental and moralistic and they go on either a "she's going to hell" spree or a "I'm going to save her" spree. With the crazies, it seems to me that the second usually turns into the first.
