Today, on Oprah."

THis one i can actually picture!

I remember when Street Angel was released, that the press release said to look for Stevie on media outlets such as Larry King Live and Oprah.....hmmm

Now that would be refreshing. Stevie NEVER talks about Klonopin.

Ok, I'll give a few more cents to this.

Oprah is a bigmouthed, loudmouthed know it all...She IS a powerful woman and has a major following of folks. She is, to me, a self-riteious, self indulgent controlling classless woman. She really needs to come off her high horse and down from her pedastal for 2 seconds...to take a hard look at the realities right here in her own country. I wonder if she knows of the poverty, suffering, helpless people here in the US that don't have the voice or the power that she has. People that could really benefit from her fame and wealth and power. With her fame, money and power she sadly is a woman that is heard loud and clear. What if she's wrong? But, no. Oprah said it's really like this...and so her followers blindly take her lead.

Have you noticed how she carries the press with her to let the world know how much time and money she donates to charity? If it was from her heart all of this could be done in silence just because she's not a hero...she just has the means and the way and she truly wants to help. Mothers of the world do this for their children and their familes every single day. My mom nor my grandmother ever made the news for saving my life...or investing in my future.

She's the master of every subject. She has had every experience. It troubles me the way people hang on every word she says...read every book in the Oprah's book club...take all her bottomless advice. Oprah is not a person but a major corporation...and look how major corporations screw your average everyday Joe's and Jane's. It troubles me that she was a major supporter of Hillary. She's had her on the show several times...singing her praises of being such a woman of power like herself. All of a sudden a shady, scary character comes out of the blue. A politican. Nobody know's much about him. A few of the investigative stories about this guy in the very beginning were suddenly squelched, squashed and completly dissapeared. Do you guys here in the US really know who this guy is? Do you know his history...his past...anything? I know that the airline I work for is based in Illinois. The union was begging him for his support. He chose the "corporation" instead of thousands of employess that made the airline what it was pre Sept 11th.

People wear many disguises and can have many faces and sing many tunes. Some are charmers...anyone ever heard of the old saying, "the devil in disguise?"

Oprah, like I said, is a massive, massive money making corporation. Which political party supports corporations?

Which party supports people like me and my family...just getting by...trying to save a few bucks to see the Grand Canyon...or to take their kids to Disney? People who save so hard to take a 3 day Carnival Cruise to Bermuda...to live the "high life" for just once. People like my family that just lost an amazing grandmother that worked so hard...all her life...singlehandedly raising 4 kids in the depression alone...living on $300 and change a month for her lifetime of input into Social Security. Do you know how much a burial and a small service costs?

I am so sorry. This got way too deep and political. I'm afraid of corporations like Oprah...and what they have the power to do and buy.

I fear an unknown politican. I fear George's party.

I'm an average everyday guy...and even I know behind every great man is an even greater woman...holding him up.

I think the country needs a known woman to take charge...and clean up this disaster that's been caused.

And THAT'S why I think Stevie has probably turned Oprah down. Or why Oprah wouldn't have Stevie on her show...Stevie never came out and screamed about her charity work...or called the press to say she just made a donation to help out a starving musican. On stage...Stevie is an act. Sometimes her interviews are an act. Sometimes not. I think Stevie and Oprah have each others number... We all know which politcal party Stevie supports. She doesn't broadcast it though does she?

After all she's not a talk show host.

She was born in rural Mississippi to a poor unwed teenaged mother, and later raised in a Milwaukee ghetto. She then was raped at the age of nine, and at fourteen, gave birth to a son who died in infancy. She was then sent to to live with the man she calls her father, a barber in Tennessee. So, clearly she has the perspective you wondered about.

I disagree. Having been involved with the running of a few large charities in my day, a big, public donation from someone with the watts she shines will increase donations by several fold. So, her publicity also is a donation and a welcome one.

Does she aggravate me? I really have no opinion of her in that regard - though ghetto Oprah kind of gets on my nerves I am not into her show and do not really follow her life as a celebrity. I do think, however, she is a remarkable ansd generous human being who is a true success story and I would think this despite my personal opinion of her.

Um - yes she did when she openly solicited donations to her ipods for the soldiers charity

I guess I just do not see the big problem with celebrity endorsement of charities, esp. when they do so much good in raising awareness and much needed money.

Oh, who the hell cares? As if Oprah is the end-all-be-all. Your career doesn't mean a thing if you haven't appeared on Oprah at least once! Ya hear?!

Just like one's Stevie Nicks fan career doesn't mean a thing if you haven't been shut down by you, Carrie, or Sarah.

Sometimes I can't sleep at night wondering when Stevie is going to be on Oprah.

No one ever said she is the end-all-be-all, but good publicity is good publicity.

I thought it was that unfortunate incident with the Cuban police that caused that insomnia

Oprah doesn't have a thing on me, Carrie or Sarah. Hah.

I grow more & more attracted to you.

[SaidSomething]

mmm.

I knew I was going to catch some grief.

...and as for those with the snarky responses...you haven't a clue. Not a clue.

I rarely share my take on things. I'm not alway right. Sometimes I am.

Something I would never do is...shoot back a line of attack at a guy, sharing what he thinks...just to cause a few snickers.

I guess that happens in high school...or in a group of elitists...or on the Stevie Nicks chat boards.

I'm sorry. I guess I'll just go back to reading and thinking about the things that you guys write on here.
