Feeling some sympathy for Stevie

Further evidence of this is Stevie's using Dave Stewart as a crutch for songwriting on In Your Dreams. She's terrified at the reality she needs to downsize the venues she plays, so she decides to tour with Rod Stewart.

I think it's so unfortunate that the ultimatum/reality check Tom Petty gave her back in the '90s really didn't stick. She's a living legend... and nobody does Stevie Nicks better than Stevie Nicks. Stevie's slowly been poisoning her own well for many years now... I hate she doesn't see it herself.

I disagree completely. She had said 1,000 times over the past year that she has made this record for herself and doesn't care if ten people buy it.
