Agreed! Rock Goddesses "from the 70's & 80's" is bad enough.

referring to Stevie & Co. as practically irrelevant.

I think it's most likely just a tribute to 70/80s Female Rock Icons of some sort, highlighting the cult following they have etc, hence the fan submissions. I don't know if it will focus so much on the 'Where are they now' aspect, as if it's some sort of shocker... it's not like Stevie's working at Burger King, lol, she's still in the industry.

Lol they definitely aren't going to disgrace her by marginalizing her to some one hit wonder has been, but I am sure thats how the episode will be structured. Neither Stevie nor Pat have released any new music sinve 2003, and tho many people regard both of them as legendary icons and know they are still around, most people have no clue what either has been up to over the past 8 years. I am not saying they are going to say, ROCK GODDESSES OF THE 70S AND 80S, WHERE ARE THEY NOW? what I am saying is they probably aren't going to do a show about fans or one completely geared toward Stevie. They are going to have a few "rock goddesses" and tell their story and bring them out and do an interview with them on their past and what they are doing now, just like the where are they now episodes.

I think Oprah's producers are going to be surprised at the "cult" of Stevie. I don't think they realize how loyal her fans are or how big her story is. She should definitely have 60 minutes to herself. Also, I can't see her doing a ladies of the 80"s thing.

That's only because she was with Suze Orman.

I hope you are right! But I also didn't see her singing back up on Rhiannon for Taylor Swift or opening for Rod Stewart.

A cringe worthy moment if there ever was one...

The taping is on April 8th. I have a reservation for two to be in the audience. I wrote a paragraph on why I love the music of Stevie Nicks on nickslive.blogspot.com where they featured Oprah looking for the "Ultimate Stevie Nicks Fan". I also wrote a similar paragraph to be in the audience on Oprah's website. I'll be disappointed if Pat Benatar shows up instead of Stevie! Anyway I'm going to meet some friends from other parts of the country to have a girls weekend in Chicago. Should be fun!

That taping date is a good enough omen Stevie will be on the O show.

April 8th is a day before the Heart & Soul tour stops in Chicago, and Stevie has that day off...on her way to Chicago in all likelihood April 7th, through April 9th.

Stevie performs in Chicago April 9th with Rod. Therefore, there is no reason she won't be on Oprah! I'd say you should snag up some tickets to the Rod/Stevie show on the 9th, but you may get some free ones at Oprah!

Rampage Girl · #**132** 03-23-2011, 07:35 PM

Urgh. I put in for tickets to the show and haven't heard anything yet. I live with in driving distance of Chicago and have been not only a HUGE Stevie Nicks fan since I can remember but have also tried to get tickets to a taping of an Oprah show for years with no luck. Oh, I hope that I can get tickets to see the taping of this show! That would be the BEST!!!!!

Buddy · #**133** 03-23-2011, 07:37 PM

That would be awesome!

Being a fan of both Nicks and Benatar, I'd love to see them both on the show. Even a little exposure on Oprah is a lot of exposure, right?

It's the right age group for Stevie -- these are people who would never know she had a new album from the regular channels (like radio or MTV). It'll be huge for "In Your Dreams" to get a plug.

Benatar has a book to promote. Hers is a completely different story than Stevie's -- she was drug-free, got married to her guitarist, Neil Giraldo in 1982 and had two kids. I have to admit...it made for a bit of a dull book (it's more about her struggles with her sexist pig record company and her sweet romance with Giraldo than anything else).

I hope they're on stage together as I'd love to see them interact. They're both generous in spirit and they've been kind to one another in the press, so I am sure it would be a lovely exchange.

Any word on picking Stevie's number 1 fan?
