Thanks so much everybody. Liked 'em an awful lot. I'm in awe of what RAL goodies people have had in their closets all this time and were afraid to post. That's what I was put on this Earth for: to keep the flame of RAL kindled and close to people's hearts. It's a lonely journey, and sometimes there are only one set of platform footprints on the beach. And I've even asked Stevie why that was so. And she said to me "Welllllllllllll, baby, whoah baby! Well, that's when I carried youuuuuuuuuuu!!"

Works great on my Mac. Not sure what's up with your computer, but it is not mac specific.

These pics are really strange.

And some people like leather jacket Elvis, but others like white jump-suit Elvis. It's a preference.

You think she looks bloated and sad? You might need to view some OSOTM, BTM or Timespace footage. Bloated, bland, and looking just miserable and tired.

Sure, for her own sake I am glad she is still alive and able to still perform. Doesn't mean I don't miss the energy, fire and spontaneity of those nutty RAL shows though. Rock and Roll is Rock and Roll, and Vegas is Vegas. It's like comparing an apple to an orange.

Now I'm going to put a long string of smiley things here which is always good for softening up a post that someone might otherwise take umbrage to.

Creature of the night, it's been almost a week....

I'm going to quote that line to anyone who asks after tonight how long its been since I slept. Because I'm pretty sure that this thread will be bringin' insomnia back.

Not her finest hour.

you seem to be forgetting that RAL and klonopin stevie are not the only options. there were 10 years of stevie performances pre-RAL where she was, for the most part, fiery, healthy looking, and in tune - far from a vegas act. rock and roll is not about shrieking vocals and being so out of it you can't even remember your own lyrics.

yeah, it is sad. i don't see any glamor here, just desperate addiction.

Well, gee. It started out good, and alot of people were getting into it. Now the pendulum has swung in the other direction and everyone is jumping on that bandwagon.

There's no denying what happened in '86 folks. Sweeping it under the carpet pleasantly doesn't make it go away. She did some coke, she drank some brandy, and so did Ozzy. And so did Billy Idol, and so did Crosby, Stills and Nash. So did the girls from Bananarama! Why should we edit the years of her life away? She doesn't! I don't hear any major regret in her voice about the 'cocaine and brandy' years. What I do hear, is how money she spent. And how large she lived. And what a party it all was. And how intense her love affairs were. You want to sweep things under the carpet? Sweet away 1987-1994. Those are years that Stevie would definately WANT us to sweep away. Yet, there are fans here who love the laconic, dull, dilated pupils, satin bathrobe with shoulder pads and weird hat era.

This is my thread. I started it, I got all the feedback I could have asked for and more, and am immensly pleased with it. Check back later for a new thread about some other Stevie topic from someone else. But this one served it's purpose and for that I'm glad. More smileys! Sparkle everyone!

[carrie721]

who the hell said anything about sweeping them under the carpet? post all the pictures you want, i don't want to stop you. i got a good laugh out of them.

Thanks for sharing all the pics. Even after seeing them I still can't remember most of the 80's. I must have had a great time.
