Honestly, I don't know why we aren't allowed to expect the same performance levels out of Stevie as she did in the early 80s. Let's look at it this way: Lindsey is 60, in Fleetwood Mac, actually plays an INSTRUMENT, has a family and young children to take care of, and he's performing at
twice the energy level and intensity as he did 30 years ago. Stevie is also 60, in Fleetwood Mac, plays no instrument, has no family or children to take care of, and yet we're supposed to put her on her own lowered expectations scale? I just don't think that's ok at all. I love her guys (she's why I'm here), but she needs to lose the attitude, entitlement, and get her game back on. I mean, Ann Wilson is also a woman about her age, she's been in the business about as long, she's had weight and health battles too, she is a single mother of young children, yet she totally rocks out and belts vocals like she's in her 20s, with gratitude and a smile. I just want Stevie to be happy again, for her to be comfortable in her skin, and to enjoy being in the band the way that the rest of the Macsters are these days. It's really not too much to ask at all...
