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.

Everyone has there own opinions and that's great, but no one wants to turn a suggested Stevie Nicks TV appearance into a heated political discussion.

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.

wow you come off pretty partisan right away.
You sound angry that she started a school in another country and has totally ignored this country. Is that what you are referring to?

What if she is wrong about what? Did she make some big prophecy or something?


As strand said, she has the background to have the perspective you say she needs. I guess i just don't see any backup info to your claims of her being self-righteous, self-indulgent and classless.

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.

I am not a "fan" of hers but I don't see all these claims you make against her. I would say that she comes off as a considerate woman who tries to be prepared for a topic by checking out both sides. Sure she has opinions but you make her sound like a demon.

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.

whew - much to digest there -
You are speaking of Barrack but what charges are you planting a seed of?
You can't even use his name? lol
you are mostly mad at oprah for her switching to support obama?
Is this you Hillary in disguise?

I had heard that Oprah's popularity may have taken a hit for her support of Obama and I guess here is the proof huh?

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.

This political season has you pretty frazzled huh? I can't say I agree with much of what you say besides the dems being more concerned with working families (and even that is questionable).

My question is if you would vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination?

Very nicely said, SAIDSOMETHING. I agree.

I find it more interesting than the original topic but maybe a different thread wouldn't be a bad thing.

OH YEAH! Now i remember, YOUR *Bill* yes, your versions of stevies songs are very cool. (sorry, totally diferent thread entirely, but it just clicked.)

[dnightshade]

I can not STAND Oprah!!!! I would hope Stevie would never go on her show!!! Give me Leno, Leterman, Ellen or even Cason Daly anytime.

[paleshadow]

I think if Stevie ever writes the book she's been talking about for 25 years she could be on Oprah. They can broadcast from either ones nursing home.

My comments were not meant as snarky and I did not "shoot back a line of attack at a guy, sharing what he thinks...just to cause a few snickers." I am sorry if it came across that way. There was, however, nothing that humorous in my post. Your comments did not suggest to me that you knew that Oprah came from very humble beginnings or that the celebrity endorsement of a charity many times is more or as beneficial as a quiet donation. So, I thought you might want to know that as it could change your opinion of her to some degree.

For the record, I enjoyed your post and your take on things. And, I wish more people were as apparently active politically as you seem to be.

[strandinthewind]

I looked for this earlier, but could not find it. This, to me, is a stunning example of a celebrity lending their voice and heart to a worthy cause. It is not a charity, but the meaning is the same.



Here is a charity one - even if her plea and presence got one of those poor animals adopted - how an that be a bad thing? If she had been silent and avoided that, what good could have come of it:



There are a few others she has done like this. I so good for her.

Back to your regularly scheduled Oprah

[darla]

I did e-mail Oprah quite a few times.....Atleast 15 times to have Stevie on.
I reminded her of Walter Reed and how she can help people with drugs,
and how she is loved by millions.....
No response....
I guess Stevie is not good enough for Oprah.....
Oprah loves John Travolta....give me a break...
Sometimes I cannot stand Oprah.
And Yes she was a big Hillary supporter and now who is she backing....
HELLO.................
Oprah is a phoney.....
Just my thoughts...............

Michele

maybe on her next visit
she'll get a spot in an arm chair
and Ellen will devote the whole show to Stevie
and Stevie and Ellen will compete with each other in Guitar Hero

True. I don't really watch Oprah, but she has a variety of folks come on her show. Esp when they're promoting new material. I just rarely see rockers or rappers come on. In fact, a couple of rappers were saying they couldn't stand Oprah because she rarely invites rappers to her show.

Oprah's goof-ru Dr. Aucksbland reveals the many many many pain bodies in Stevie Nicks' pet terriers which they have accumulated from being on the road so long watching hours of tv and eating doggie treats. And yes, Stevie will sing two songs at the end of the show...:

[bellagypsy79]

I know this is an old topic, but it was one that I missed. Oprah knows who Stevie is but I doubt that she will ever have her on her show. Oprah prefers to have people on her show that she knows will give her ratings, and no offense to Stevie in anyway, but she wouldn't really give the ratings that Oprah needs. Her life yes, was infact pretty controversial with everything that she went through in her life, but for some stupid reason maybe it's just not as close to being as wild as Valerie Bertinelli's. (Can't spell her name) Oprah cares about 2 things 1.) Ratings and 2.) Gail! LOL! Sorry I get annoyed with the way she talks about GAIL! I would love to see Oprah lay into some questions with Stevie that are so damn personal, that even I have never heard Stevie answer or been asked. Rumours that need to be cleared up... I think that it would be a very good interview. I tried writing into the Oprah show before about wanting to be on her show to share a story with everyone, but never heard back from them. I want to say some kind of comment on that , but I am not going to because I don't want anyone thinking that I am something that I am not. So I won't say it. All I will say is that everyone can keep trying to get stevie on oprah, but she won't respond, unless......Stevie's written a book.
