Stevie gets fiesty and lets off steam in latest article - Page 2

Stevie's fans never talk about an intellectual connection or even a musical connection--only an emotional connection.

What's with all these florid emotions flying around? Stop emoting so much, Stevie-ites. Take a cool, detached, studied point of view. Analyze. Infer. Posit reasonable premises & draw logical conclusions.

And then squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! when Stevie hits the stage!

As for Spears or Lohan, you have to admit that they do an excellent job of doing what they are supposed to do: sexually excite the audience. As the TV admen used to say in the '70s: Titillate ... & dominate!

i'm not sure how i feel about stevie saying anything about anyone...she was a complete mess for about 10 years...she looked aweful because of HER addictions and it showed physically and artistically...and she was NOT 20 something ...she was like late 30's into her 40's and she was that screwed up??? perhaps a late bloomer..she is throwng these two "kids" under the bus when she was so strung out from HER 20's into her 30's?? gimme a break stevie nicks...i love everything about you..but now you sound like one of those reformed smokers who smoked for 40 years and now tells everybody how stupid people who smoke are..britney and lindsey are young enough that i am sure they will straighten it all out..and perhaps before they are 50 stevie...cut the some slack..i truely feel they do not have the talent that stevie has but come on....they are not dead yet..nor are they senior citizens..too bad she doesn't offer some words of hope rather than acting like a self rightous know it all...very dissappointed in this coming from someone i have so much respect for...anyone who is living a difficult situation HAS to hit rock bottom before they begin to change..if ANYONE should know this is someone who was strung out on coke..klonopin and god knows what else and was also about 80lbs. overweight..this was her rock bottom and none of her piers spoke like this of her...at least not that i reall and i have been a stevie worshipper for 30 plus years.

By contrast, she did say something supportive about Mariah and told her she wasn't crazy and such.

Remember when the IRS questioned some of her wardrobe "business" expenses and her lawyer gave some little blurb saying that she perspired so much that her stage clothes could only be used once.

I love this article! Nobody mess with Stevie! She is right Lindsey Lohan is messy and Brittney Spears is Dippy!

AhHa, Stevie said "stupid-ass!"

Funny ..these are similar words that were used to describe La Nicks back in the day when she was cutting up..she is so lucky there were not cell phones with cams .internet and 24/7 gossip TV back then.Hypocritical much?

I don't know what Stevie is trying to achieve by bashing twenty-something stars. As many have said Stevie was pretty 'messy' for a good number of years of her own life (and really everyone has a 'messy' period), she doesn't need to kick these girls while they're down. Lindsay and Britney were both much younger than Stevie when they entered the industry, or rather thrown into it by notoriously pushy mothers, it's no surprise these girls have the problems they do.

She's just looking at it from her perspective - as a 60 year old woman who's "been there, done that". That's the impression I get.

Couldn't agree with you more!

One difference is these girls seem to court the media while Stevie wouldn't have. They are addicted to the attention. I agree that Stevie is too hard on them given they are just doing the same things she did. Maybe Stevie is able to deny this to herself because she always showed up for work. A lot of people use that to minimize their addictions.

yes, I'd forgotten all about that. That story hit in the mid 90's as I recall. What a bunch of horse doo doo!

baboles · #27 05-15-2009, 11:39 AM

I agree with Stevie.

Of course she did the heavy drugs back in the day, but it really wasn't exposed all that much. It was low key. And she admits to her own mistakes. We are always constantly hearing about current singers and their problems and drug addictions. Nobody keeps anything private in today's music industry.

It's ok for Stevie to talk about her past problems now. All that stuff happened 20+ years ago.

What's your definition of "courting the media"?

It wasn't exposed all that much because every rock star was doing the same thing. If Fleetwood Mac stood out as being druggies in the public's view, it wasn't by much more than a smidge, or snort.

Ever since publicly admitting to Betty Ford for cocaine & another rehab facility somewhere for Klonopin treatment, Stevie has been anything but low key about it. She brings it up constantly. If you ask her about her favorite flavor of ice cream, she'll pad her answer with descriptions of her Klonopin rehab or the big hole in her septum. She's talked about her drugs millions of times since 1988 or so -- to the extent that no one probably even cares any more.

Stevie didn't have a reality show, because they weren't available at the time. Even if they had been, she might not have gone in for that sort of thing.

Still, she sure gabbed it up in the media. Courting? Maybe she didn't ask for their hand in marriage, but she wined and dined.
