I've listened to the song Rock a Little on repeat today all the way to school - a 40 min drive? Got me wondering who Lily is.

Lily is STevie.

I think she said it was her dad's nickname for her.

If my seat was at the very back of the house I would still have had a better seat then I ever have. Sigh.

Aww that sucks! To think I live 10 minutes from the House of Blues she did those shows at but was just not a big enough fan YET to have any interest and I probably didn't even know she was playing there since I wasn't in the loop then. Oh how I would die to see her there today! Guess I'll have to live vicariously through my live recordings

I spent 2 hours today organizing a playlist on my iPod for Stevie demos (labeling, etc.). A good use of time I'd say!

It was at those concerts that she promised the fans that on her next tour she would perform all new songs.

Well, to give Stevie some credit she did perform 6 new songs from TISL on the 2001 tour.

If she performed that many new songs on this next tour from the yet un-named album, do you think it would energize her base of "tired set-list" grumblers to go see her live in 2011?

Too be honest with you, I don't really listen to Stevie/Mac that much - because I have actually devoured every album. It's so hard to explain, but I know some people can get really stressed if they can't listen to Stevie/Mac.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

SapphireSister · #27 11-19-2010, 02:05 PM

I wonder if Stevie has any tattoos?

Great thread!

Me too

I love to spend as much time as possible at the venue, before and after the show, even if it is the bloody O2 in Dublin!

I've been having lots of random Stevie thoughts ... the one for today is how dynamic the lyrics to Fall From Grace are, even without the rock and roll music. I think it's pretty unique in Stevie's catalogue both musically and lyrically. I had reasons for this which I've now forgotten ... will post them later.

I was just listening to All the Beautiful Worlds and had a fantasy that I recorded it, it became a hit, and me and Stevie were performing it live on the Ellen Degeneres show. I know, I have a vivid imagination

Hope you don't mind if I offer a correction? I've read and heard SN say a few times that she and Robin both loved the movie 'Julia', which is about a friendship between the playwright Lilian Hellman and a woman called Julia (duh).

Anyway, Lilian was the selfish, visionary artist and Julia the one who wanted home and hearth and kids, etc etc. (Can you guess who identified with whom in this scenario??)

So anyway, yeh, Stevie is Lily - and Lily is short for Lilian (Hellman).
