I think that was a big mistake by Mama.

Are you kidding? Well, thanks for the bitchy response to my post. That was uncalled for.
I didn't realise I was only allowed to post positive opinions.
For the record, I would LOVE her to release this.

I don't. If it wasn't ready, it wasn't ready. I just think people are thirsty for new material, but it's worth waiting for if it's something really meaningful, like this song. I think it will knock everyone off their feet when it does come out, and it'll be used to help out the city in the right way.

With all the hype that the song has built up since she first mentioned it 2 years ago, that will only help the song sell better when it is finally released, and it will be able to better help the city if everyone is biting at the bit to buy it.

Just sick of all the "Negative Nancys" coming in and bringing down threads that are really up and positive. I was just being honest...i didn't say anything mean or offensive.

I didn't say anything negative about the song, I just voiced my fears about it being released, and you responded with a bitchy, sarcastic post. Personally I think that's mean.

I didn't think it was. There are folks on here who have said a lot worse to me about looking at things in a positive light. If you were that offended, i apologize, but it just seems these threads can get steered in a new direction if people start to look at the glass half empty.

You don't think writing sarcastic posts to a simple opinion is offensive? Fine.
And so what if people have said a lot worse to you? I've personally never said anything to you. Apparently you think it's terrible to be negative towards Stevie but it's okay to act that way towards other Ledgies.

Wow, one simple response to one simple opinion, and all of a sudden, i'm being persecuted? You are offended by one little simple sarcastic comment...Come'on, just move on already. You act as if i made a degrading disrespectful comment and used offensive language. I mean, really? And now i'm acting a certain way towards Ledgies? Ohh man...

How do you know if it's a gorgeous song if all we've heard are 20 seconds of a shaky, live, a cappella performance? I'm not trying to be a 'negative nancy' at all, I just haven't heard enough of the song to make a judgement. The tiny fragment of lyrics I heard sounded a bit hokey to me, but I can't call the entire song hokey because I haven't heard it .

I do hope the song finds light of day though, in whatever fashion, because it clearly means a lot to Stevie. She's been talking about it for years, and whenever Stevie feels really confident about a song, I think that's a really great thing . I think that's why there are a big contingency of 'negative nancy's' in the Stevie/Mac world these days... we all feel she has a lot to share, but she just isn't giving those songs a vehicle to see the light of day.

I might be inclined to agree. It could have added new material to CV, which was sorely lacking. And it could have been a single. Possibly with the whole Katrina/NO situation fresher in the minds of the world, it could have garnered a good amount of attention, and spurred fresh confidence in Stevie, resulting in more new music (which she seems to lack confidence in making currently). Hopefully she'll have another Tom Petty/That Made Me Stronger type epiphany, gain confidence, and get back to recording new material. It could be Mac or solo at this point, I just want to hear from an old friend again .

Ugh...i knew someone else was going to use my own words against me. I was going by the passion in her voice, and i love her delivery of these lines. Like someone else said before, there was more passion in her voice here than in some of her greater versions of Rhiannon...or something along those lines.

I completely agree with you here. Stevie has a huge backlog of unreleased songs that if she released even in their most infantile form, we'd all be more than thrilled with, but she just hasn't yet.

Haha, bane of the existence of message boards . I absolutely can respect and like the passion in her voice here. She's given up a lot of that passion in her classic material, so it certainly is refreshing to hear that aspect again. She got a pretty wild response from the crowd, so I can only hope that will give her the confidence booster to find a way to get this tune recorded .

Don't worry, this song will see a release on the upcoming Cyrus' "Miley & Stevie,
Best Friend's" release. They are working on finishing the album during the FL. Mac
break.

Street date: Oct. 31, 2009
