Agreed. I mean when does a producer do all the promoting and marketing? Where the hell is WB in all of this? They should be the ones creating all the buzz via twitter or other promotions.

In regards to releasing songs earlier than the album, it happens, I read somewhere that Lady GaGa's new CD is being released in May I think and the single is being released in February I think. It is all done to get the word out.

I agree that I hope Stevie gives us some concrete info. and not beat around the bush.

Imagine, Stevie opens the show, gets the audience all fired up with her Rock N Roll, only to then have the audience all sit down and listen to Rod come on and sing "Fly Me To The Moon" or "Moon River" for the next two freaking hours... Talk about a downer!

Rod will sing some of his rock hits. He's not going to go totally Andy Williams on them.

This makes me laugh thinking of the comments Cher made about her Caesar's Palace audience. She said at first she was put off by the fact that they didn't really know any of her songs, but then she realized that this might be the last concert that some of them would ever see, given their ages. So, she decided to make it good for them.

But anyway, the same people Stevie turns on with Stand Back will get revved up by Rod's "Tonight's the Night," "You're In My Heart," and the inevitable "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy." He's not all euthanasia.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You obviously only read the first post and then responded, I suggest you read further before you praise Jesus any more.

i saw late night show where she said that (although i guess she may have been repeating the same story on different shows...) - she also talked about making a FB account and having to come up with another user name "because Cher of course was already taken"

Some of the tweets yesterday seem to only tweet Dave...Strange...I am going to go out on a limb here,but I don't think Dave is as responsible for everything as he would like us to believe...Stevie's wanted to make a new record since at least '05. Her "People" have talked her out of it...It's more profitable to have her out on the road...It will not surprise me if Stevie end up having to give Dave the boot like Tom Petty did back in the "Don't come around here no more" days...I'm sorry if I got off topic but it just seems like Dave is dangling a carrot (Stevie) in front of our noses...It's just getting slightly annoying...

Wow... You really are out on a limb here... Careful, you might fall off!

Dave has a vested interest in Stevie's project so why not promote it... Anyone in their right mind would! And I think he has a good handle on what's he's doing.. He's been in the game a long time. It's only getting "slightly annoying", cause you are letting it annoy you... It's your choice!

Or bicker mindlessly?

And Bluedenimlamp, you make some very interesting points! I may just be ignorant (which is highly plausible since I'm a zombie chiffonhead and all), but I didn't know anything about Dave prior to this except that he is the guy in Eurythmics. I can't be the only one here that is like that.

RockAlot · #**102** 01-09-2011, 07:14 PM

Seriously guys, Stevie would not put her name with Dave's unless she wanted it there. Let's give Dave a break, shall we.

nothing against bickering mindlessly.

but, mindlessly building a whole conspiracy theory about the man (because he didn't respond to your latest tweets yet BlueDenimLamp?) ... and then those speculations being passed on as actual info about that man's character, that's just not nice.

just sayin'

Meowi · #**105** 01-09-2011, 09:06 PM

I think Thursday will be the day some long awaited information will arrive, but at the moment Dave isn't obliged to say anything.
