I do think that they are more candid with what they say. On the other hand, sometimes I have questioned the validity of some print comments reported. So, I think the press is more lax as well. When you put that combination (unfettered candor and suspect reporting) together, you get some pretty amazing things.

No way are you going to get an American interview in which Stevie says sometimes her niece gets so engrossed in computers that she just wants to slap her. I was talking to my own teenaged niece about her cell phone billing Thursday and I was annoyed enough to want to slap her (luckily, we were in different states at the time). So, I understand the urge. I just don't think
it's something Stevie would usually say.

Speaking of Stevie interview comments, Will Sheff mentions the sacrifice Stevie made for FM in not having children in the Houston Chronicle. Of course, Sheff doesn't realize that Stevie had up to 5 years off from FM at a time, during prime childbearing years, but . . .
