Me too. It's what has kept me interested.

But then again, this may all be part of a master plan- to stir up anticipation and speculation. All I can say is thank goodness for Dave Stewart.

Well, like Christopher, I think part of the reason for the silence is just that she's not being interviewed as much as she was then. She could still get the word out using the social network, but there's the wariness you mentioned. If people were still clamoring to interview her the old fashioned way like they were then, I think we'd know a lot more. I don't think she's being especially clandestine, so much as I think it's just that she doesn't have the outlet she traditionally used to get info out (print, radio and tv interviews) and she hasn't adapted to the new forms of communication.

I think if you stuck a mic in her face, she might tell us a lot more, just like she did in days of yore.

I'm with you here, Michele, I think...but I'm torn. If Stevie really wanted to be interviewed, couldn't her publicist get her a couple? Isn't that part of a publicist's job? And she's being photographed outside her favorite steakhouse so it seems there's still a respectable amount of interest in her and what she's doing. But I don't know how the industry works. Who initiates interviews in the first place? The interviewer or the person being interviewed? I'm wondering if her silence could be due in part to her just being emmersed in the creative/recording process and she'd rather talk about it when there's actually something to talk about. Maybe she's in her "mad scientist" mode and doesn't want to be bothered until the whole thing begins to fully take shape.

I need to remind myself to chill out some, and just enjoy the ride. Stevie and the Mac are just a smidge frustrating to follow, though... it builds up over the course of nearly 20 years!

I totally agreed with all of your initial speculations. Not to be a buzz kill, but I'm (so) afraid what will happen after Dave leaves the project in Stevie's hands. In post production she could easily decide to shelve the entire work. She's done that to several projects. Yet, she is way overdue to release some new music, and she's not getting any younger! Perhaps, realizing this, she is taking a more atypical approach. I certainly hope so.

Good to see Dave Stewart busy these days. You may remember Dave as the creative partner of Annie Lennox in the Eurythmics. Dave worked with Ringo Starr on the Liverpool 8 album, is currently working with Stevie Nicks on her next solo album, and in July Dave is going to Nashville to work on his own solo LP which will be released only on vinyl.

But the project that really caught my attention was his involvement with the Stand Up To Cancer organization. Dave composed a song and worked with Joss Stone on the official recording. There is a challenge for people to upload their own version of this song on YouTube. The deadline is July 30th. Dave will be on the committee that will pick a winner in late August. And on September 10, Stand Up For Cancer will host a telethon to raise money for cancer research.

A publicist/manager is the one who, not only seeks out media outlets, but also decides which media inquiries to pursue. The reason no information is coming from Stevie's camp is because there is nothing official and it's too early. It's not a matter of indifference, as if the media isn't interested or doesn't care about her anymore. That's just irrational reasoning. And the thing about social networks: if you know anything about Stevie, then you know modern day internet media is not her thing. When Stevie is ready to give interviews the media outlets will be there.

The album is a work in progress - there is no product to promote yet! So why should we expect anything? Dave Stewart, as a producer, is the only reason we know anything about this. He's made no formal statements other than in casual conversation that he has been working with Stevie. Stevie is, by no means, obligated to say anything. Again -- it's a work in progress. Who knows what will become of it when Dave leaves. Stevie sometimes brings in other producers, and there is usually a lot of post-production.

Stevie will rise up in pillars of color when it becomes a fully-fleshed out album and it will be properly promoted.

Penguinhead, I love everything you said, and agree totally. "Stevie will rise up in pillars of color" FANTASTIC line

What makes me so excited about this forthcoming solo album (if it happens) is that it will be the first time Stevie has released a new solo album since I've been a hard-core fan. It wasn't until 2002 (later in the year) that I started chatting on boards, collecting music, studying Stevie, etc. so this will be an incredible experience for me that I will have waited nearly 9 years for! Woot!

Maybe she'll just be really boring and have a self-title "Stevie Nicks" album... Nah. xD

I imagine it'll be named after a song on the album though, I just hope it's pretty.
