I can see it now:"OK, this is Edge of Seventeen and I'd like to dedicate this to.... Karen, where's my list? And bring me my glasses too. OK, here we go...". About 2 hours later she'll be ready to do Edge. It doesn't work like that. And if she does get your letter after the tour, she's not gonna yell at Karen. Why would she? Karen isn't there to handle the mail. If you're lucky you might get a thank you note but don't count on it.
As for Stevie wearing a mask, I don't think so. And just because Don Henley said she broke up with Lindsey to be with him doesn't make it true.

The letter thing, if you must know was written with a bunch of other letters several weeks ago to a member of the Ledge. I am not going to reveal her identity, but she has her own yahoo group and everyone in the group was to write Stevie a letter and she gathered all the letters put them into a box and gave them to a special someone who was to attend Stevie's birthday party. She was to open the box on her birthday and read the letters and a card for her as well. Karen took the box away and said that she will read them at the end of the tour or at another time. I had written in my letter thank you's and appreciation towards Stevie, and asked her to dedicate a song to me. I am sure that you would've done the same thing. I am sorry that me complaining about a song dedication pissed you off in a way, but if it can happen for some people say for instance the "Chicago Dedication Post", here on the Ledge, then it could happen for anyone. So that is what happened. I didn't give her a letter at the show, it was weeks before the show. And yes, Karen did take the letters away from that person. I am not going to reveal who, because I don't know if I am supposed to. But a certain Ledgie on here knows what I am talking about, because she handled the letters. There now I spelled out for you, so now the story is straight. Yeah, right, I expect to have a whole show dedicated to me.....I am sorry that the truth hurts when I talk about celebrities and about what they are and who they are and what and who they become. Believe it or not, that's the way showbusiness is. Sorry if you don't agree with me on anything, but I do love Stevie, please don't get me wrong with saying that. But this is a "thread" where everyone is complaining about something, why not share my complaints as well?

I am having a hard time understanding this story. Am I right that there are three people involved?

1)Someone from this forum who collected a bunch of letters from people
2)Someone who was going to be attending Stevie's birthday celebration
3)Karen, assistant to Stevie

And person two agreed to pass the box of letters on to Stevie at her birthday, but Karen intercepted and has the box now? Was this act by itself what revealed her bitchiness and crabbiness? Or was she extra rude or something.

As for Stevie breaking up with Lindsey so she could be with Don Henley, I don't immediately dismiss the idea. Stevie herself has said there wasn't much time between the two men. But I have never read where Don said that before.

JUST FORGET ABOUT MY POST. IT'S DOING NOTHING BUT CAUSING SOME CONFUSION, AND I SHOULD NEVER HAVE BROUGHT IT UP. MY FAULT. THE DON HENLEY THING, I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO TELL YOU WHERE I READ IT, BECAUSE I WANT THIS CONVERSATION TO END! I READ IT BACK WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL IN A MAGAZINE. ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS PARTICIPATE IN THE BITCHINESS WITH EVERYONE ELSE AND I GUESS MY WORDS WERE STRONGER AND MORE CONFUSING THAN OTHERSAND I JUST DUG MYSELF A HOLE THAT I CANNOT GET OUT OF. IF ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW THE STORY BEHIND THE LETTER MESSAGE ME HERE ON THE LEDGE AND I WILL TELL YOU IN PRIVATE. I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I AM ALLOWED TO BROADCAST IT TO EVERYONE. SO JUST MESSAGE ME AND I WILL EXPLAIN THE STORY. I JUST CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER THAN THAT. JUST LET ALL THIS GO AND THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT!

good grief!!!

Cant everybody just take a valium and relax?

jannieC · #35 06-18-2008, 02:38 PM

Uh.

I'm not going to add fuel to the flame here (though I am in a bit of a fiesty mood today). Lets just agree that Stevie has offended some folks with her recent comments and has always bugged fans with her setlists.

Jan that post in huge blue bold capitals was really ugly and hurt my eyes and ears. Can that be...addressed?

I'd like to talk about your enormous signature & banner. Whenever I upload a photo for my sig, the GUI always requires me to shrink it to ridiculously small proportions. Yours is about 6 feet deep. How do you do that?

#1LiddyBuckFan · #39 06-18-2008, 02:58 PM

Hmmmm, I think people expect a little too much sometimes (I'm including myself in this statement as well so don't flame me) I've always wanted her to release another solo album and wondered why she hasn't. She's been doing this for over 30 years though...maybe she'd rather rest on her laurels??

Will I buy a ticket to every greatest hits show she takes on the road? No. But she's freaking Stevie Nicks and many people will.

Keeping the status quo (with set lists etc...) might be all she cares to do right now.

She doesnt decide. Promoters decide this. They will call her management and say , "hey, we've got an open date in Chicago at the Charter One Pavillion" Mgmt will say, great, we'll get back to you. They then set up a schedule with the $$ to be earned and who is paying what and where they will stay and then Stevie and her mgmt will say, OK, these look good, the looks good, lets do it. Nothing against Nebraska but promoters look solely at the $$ to be made and pull the trigger or don't. When you see the crowds getting smaller, the venues will get smaller too until the point where they are no longer booked. I doubt that Stevie has much to do with the bookings etc other than to say yeah or nay.

God David, I can't agree MORE!! In fact, at Chicago, I sat down as my own protest since I detest the song so much. Its slow, its boring and makes no sense to me.

Its the other way around. When an artist wants to go on tour, the artist's booking agent contacts the promoter-of-record in markets that are under consideration to gauge interest (ie, submit an offer).

Yeah, inquiring minds want to know. I always suffer from shrinkage on this board, and I thought maybe it was something with my images or maybe my laptop. On other boards I don't have this problem.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. People (we) care way more than Stevie ever asked us to---I mean, all she apparently wants is that we buy her albums and concert tickets and sit through the concerts without a beer/bathroom break. And accept whatever take on herself and her past that appeals to her on any given day. (Oh, and continue to adore her). It's all on HER terms. What's so hard to understand about that?

Narcissism is never attractive, but I don't think we can expect any more than that. Really. Sorry.

I think it's unfair, Pete! It's whatchamacallit -- favoritism! But this will soothe our raging souls.
