LMAOOOOOOOOOO.. Michele.. I have to say that's SOOO true.. I dunno how many corsets and push up bras I thought I saw her in, during a couple of songs the last time she was here, in Houston.. and I was rolling thinking how hot she must be in all that gear.. LMAOOO

Sad to see that your wife doesn't like your passion or is respecting it. This would make it much easier.

My boyfriend did know that I'm a Stevie fan and never ever said something against this. I think it's because he's a Bob Dylan fan and understands having this passionate for an artist. Honestly it took my two or three years *lol* 'til I "fell" in love with Bob. I never gave a dime on him because I never REALLY listened to his lyrics and read his work. Then we went to a concert and I just was VERY impressed. I love his new song "Dreamin' of you". Few months ago I've restarted collecting stuff on Sharon Tate. I've collected Sharon Tate before Stevie but stopped doing this for years. Now I'm collecting again and what did my boyfriend? He just smiled!

HEY Arlene!!

MAYBE..or maybe because Stevie is just good like that...SUPER STEVIE!

Me ex-boyfriend Derek was at times VERY jealous of my interest in Stevie/Fleetwood Mac. I told him you can either put up with it or not because I'm not going to change. Thats one of the reasons hes now my ex....

I guess I should consider myself a little bit lucky in the sense that my husband doesn't hate Stevie or anything like that, but thinks her music is just "okay". He does humor me by helping me get set up with a bit torrent client so I can download torrents, he helps me record stuff onto our DVR and transfer to computer, and stuff like that.

He also got a BN album from E-Bay and stuff like that too for me.

I also have dragged him to many Stevie and FM concerts. Although, this past June I gave him a rest and went to Atlantic City with a friend of mine that was totally blown away by Stevie's performance on 6/20 of this year. It was so very nice to know that Stevie can have that affect on someone. My friend was almost speechless after the concert and had a huge smile on her face and all she could say was "AWESOME". She was amazed at how much of her personality and humor came out during the concert.

I would say my husband is tolerant of my fandom because he knows how much Stevie's music means to me and he wants to see me happy. He even asks me from time to time if there is anything new or exciting on the message boards.

I have dragged my partner to about 10 stevie shows and 3 FM shows. He is really great about it. In the beginning he bought sevferal CDS so that he could get to know their songs before we went to a concert. He also sees how much I love her and them and so he encourages me and sees my joy and gets joy in seeing my joy.

One time we were at the Edge walk and as she was approaching he started yelling to her " Stevie, Stevie, STEVIE" until she looked at him then HE pointed to me and said " they love you" she looked at me and smiled and said oh ok thank you then reached down to shake my hand.

I know, awwwwwwwww!

Hi Jill,
no, I haven't seen the show where Debra Tate has opened Sharon's closet but did see a short YouTube Video of it. I don't have any videos on Sharon but like to watch the YouTube videos here and then. I'm mostly collecting photos and articles on Sharon and have a pretty nice collection with rare original clippings from 1965 'til today. It's sad that the most people do remind her as a victim of Charles Manson. Unbelievable what she might have been going through to safe her baby and her life but lost the fight. Sharon was a very talented actress and indeed a very beautiful woman. The most people are not seeing this side of her.

My boyfriend doesn't really care enough about Stevie to hate/love her. Just like I don't care enough about Radiohead or Bloc Party.

I turned him onto Fleetwood Mac, and I know that if they get back out on the road again next year he'll come with me, but if it was just Stevie - I'm on my own.

[Msgypsy1959]

My husband is ok with Stevie.He has come with me to FM and Stevie concerts.He just says he gets tired of hearing them all the time.But it works both ways.He is into country music now.It's ok but I am sooo sick of Sugarland .We did name our daughter Rhiannon though.I had told him when I found out I was pregnant if it was a girl that was gonna be her name. I researched the meaning and read the Mabinogion.He liked it also but I had a boy first.My kids names are Jude ( after Saint Jude not the Beatles song) and Rhiannon.My daughter just had a little boy 3 months ago, you would think she would name him something non traditional.Nope his name is James lol.

It might also have something to do with the fact that I think Stevie is hot...not sure why she feels threatened - my wife is 27, Stevie is 60.

[StandbackStevie]

my bf doesnt hate stevie but he says is too much but i really dont play her music around him for a long time and he says oh her again or them again refering to fleetwood mac but when he is at work and he is a mechanic and they have the radio on and if a stevie nicks or fleetwood mac he says he loves gyspy so he cranks it and he tells me every once in a while at work i heard gyspy and cranked it so i say to him oh gee you crank up a song you by an artist you can't stand...lol he says every time he hears a stevie nicks and fleetwood mac song he thinks of me all the time..lol he does have his rudeness like took him to see stevie in concert once in hartford on trouble in shangri-la tour and we had 13th row center seats he saw maybe 3 songs and he fell asleep thru the whole show and makes rude comments too when i go to the concerts by myself or with some friends but he is a gear head i told him well you go to the same damn car shows every year same people are there and its for 3 days in PA in Carlisle and the same damn people win the same awards i go and dont say a word and try to have fun there with him but i said you have your thing i enjoy going to see stevie nicks and fleetwood mac have been since I was 9 years old and first stevie concert at 16. And he told me he used to like them until he met me i have to say he did have the rumours cassette which i think every house hold in the world has one copy of rumours around. So he always throws his diggs so i am playing a little more stevie around him again just to piss him off even more now...lol

[wildheart048]

When my partner and I first met, he had the Tango and a two-fer of FM(white)/Rumours - both on Cassette...Tango he had never flipped over, and so only knew the first side...other than the obvious hits, that was the extent of his knowledge ... He didn't hate or dislike Stevie, but didn't know much...In no time at all, however I got him into her...not like me (or most of us here) but he knows every song, most of the demos...her back up work ... He gets excited when she tours, we've gone to a couple of Night Of A Thousand Stevie's together ... He's totally on board. That makes it a hell of a lot easier, I must say, because we live together now, and it would be a shame if he lived in a shrine to someone he hated hee hee hee...

On a side note...to the person who first started this thread (I'm sorry...i just read through the whole thing, and I forget your name) anyway, Bonnie Tyler is another of my favorites and (I just (2 weeks ago) got the chance to finally see her live after 30 years of fandom!) Anyway, after the show she came out and I was able to meet here ... totally awesome...
