You are too old and ugly to play Lindsey

Seriously, congrats on getting you ? answered.

Also, and as an aside, this is a good example of La Nicks not hating technology.

She adores technology: limousines with power windows & electronic fuel-injection, cardiac electronic equipment in hospitals, microwaves, stage lights, and sound amplification systems.

She does, however, hate the Internet culture.

Exactly. She hates the idea that people are rude enough to walk into you or wreck their cars while texting, etc. I can't say I blame her.

I agree with that also, I think that when ur having lunch with someone, or a conversation with someone, in a movie, driving, and the list goes on, Put down that damn phone. People do text while your right in front of them trying to be engaged in their life, and its like do they even care that im standing here? THEY asked ME to cme to lunch!

And don't forget "Autotune" and "Photoshop."

Exactly - there is a time and place for everything. I wend for Mexican food and, more importantly, margaritas last night at this dive near Union Square. My friend Brad and I ate, drank, and cut up something fierce. It was great to catch up because I had not really seen him as he been in a show for the last month Well, we continued the evening at a piano bar in The Village (yes, I sang La Nicks on stage ) -- while we were there, he checked is messages and found out some friends were just down the street. So, we discussed it and we invited them over. We all had a great time. That was an example of how this culture can have a good result and we can be respectful of each other at the same time.

With respect, they were airbrushing photos way before the dawn of computers or photoshop.

Interestingly, according to Dallas Austin, La Nicks is still very old school in the studio in that she sings all the stuff live as opposed to using ProTools to "fly the bars," whatever that means.

In the end, I think La Nicks hates the rudeness factor of the online world and that is all. I think when people extrapolate this to "La Nicks hates all electronics" they are incorrect and are totally missing her meaning, which to me is obvious because she flat out states it.

Just a side note...I can't believe how much better Stevie looked on Fallon...the hair, the makeup, the outfit all get an A+ from me. I think she was a bit too thin on Letterman too.

God, her voice is so rich and fabulous here.

Always been one of my favorite TV performances from The Third Age of Stevie. Rich, lustrous singing, with great vibrato & range, reminiscent of the Shakin' the Cage tour performances.

Stew, what do you think?
Michele, what bout you?
Wil, how about it?
Ali, agree?
Luke, like it too?

Even though you didn't ask my opinion David... Probably my favorite TV performance... and of this song.

I like that- The Third Age of Stevie.

You can hear it in the first note- very velvety and strong. Just beautiful.

I remember thinking that it was an interesting performance choice for her to promote that CD. Not exactly one of her more commercially successful songs.

^^^ This was a fantastic performance. She looks vibrant, thin, and full of joy to be singing.

Something happened to her voice after the Enchanted tour. The TISL tour voice was and on the record (save maybe for a spot here and there) was lower and different. She was sick for much of the TISL tour, but even before that, it was apparent on some songs. After that your, she regained some of it, but it has not come back in full force. She can do it though - look at BC, Circle Dance, Call on Me for Magic, Red River Valley, and her harmonies on Monday Morning, SG, NGBA - to name a few.
