you know i have often thought the same thing but more like an aunt than a big sister because although she is technically old enough to be my mother, (she was 17 when i was born) i dont think of her as a mother figure, more like my auntie and how i wish i had been lucky enough to be her niece *sighs*

So Stevie has been popping up in my dreams (no pun intended) a lot over the last few weeks but last night was different...
Myself, Danni, and Dave Stewart were all at a private, very intimate Stevie show in a dimly lit bar. So small she could look into your eyes...well at the end of the show Dave came up to me, flirted, and asked me if he could borrow $2,000 right then and there. I told him I don't carry that kind of cash and immediately ran to Danni to tell her he was a scam artist.
Now for the serious part - after the show Stevie was sitting in a seat in what appeared to be an old theatre like The Wiltern. When I got my chance to finally talk to her she immediately grabbed me and hugged me and would not let go for nearly 2 whole minutes. While she was holding me I was talking to her softly in her ear saying something to the effect of her giving me hope to someday be happy after going through so much pain and her response was, "What makes you think I'm so happy?", insinuating that she's not.
Now with that being said, I totally think Stevie is happier than she's ever been but maybe she was trying to teach me some kind of lesson like you never really know what's going on in people's heads or behind closed doors and plus, it's all objective anyway. And one person's definition of happy could be a far cry from another's.
I could continue to analyze myself and what I think this means for me personally but I don't want to. Peace.

Yes, you are right! Keen observation. I also think I need to figure out what my definition of happiness is and what it means to me.

Lindsay, I had a Stevie dream right after you called me and told me about this! Somehow, I became compadres with Dave so he told me to come help him organize a set for a new Stevie video... it was up in the Hollywood hills outside a big Spanish looking house. I was helping him for a few days and then Stevie came. She loved me.

For some reason, I had to create a huge platform thing for the set of the music video and I made it out of bread, but the set had to be yellow so I painted it with mustard?

My subconscious is so weird.

Honestly, no. I still feel the same - it's a fabulous album technically and production-wise and Stevie sounds phenomenal but I am just not head-over-heals in love with any of the songs and don't want to listen to any of them over and over again . It's o.k. though, it's not like there aren't enough older ones I'm in love with and I'm still happy we have new material and that it's bringing so many people so much joy. Thanks for asking .

Ha, that's hilarious girl! You must have been hungry while napping.

Alyssa or Samantha?


I noticed in the first two seasons of 'Who's The Boss' that Samantha had a few different Stevie pictures on her wall. One was of the 'Rock A Little' album cover. I wonder if Alyssa was into her at the time of 'RAL'? She even mentioned her in the second season 1985/86. Just a Stevie thought!

[SapphireSister]

I just love If Anyone Falls...it's such a feel good track. I heard it this morning on my iPod and was reminded of just how much I adore it and it brings back fabulous memories of singing and dancing along to it live. So a la' The Wild Heart.

[SapphireSister]

So I have a Dreams live question:

I love when the song is ending and Stevie adds the ahhh haaa ahhhaaa's at the end as the music fades. Hopefully you all know what I'm talking about. Does anyone know when she started doing this and was there a period she went through when she was always doing that? What is the history of it. I don't believe she's done it recently. Anyway I know I have it on some of my live copies of Dreams but don't want to go through every one now so if someone has a version where she sings the aah aah aahs at the end please post. Thanks.

A co-worker just came into my office, looked at a promo poster of Stevie and said, "She's still alive?". Then he proceeded to tell me his half brother was related to her (Dad's cousin) but knew nothing about her.

[fumidesigns]

I hate it when ppl say stuff like that!!!!!!! Yes she's alive! Urgh!

We have a lot of country music stuff hanging around my work which is the genre that about 99% of our clients are. But as I walked into my office today, I realized I'm the only one who not only looks like I don't work in country music but that Stevie/Mac are my only clients.

And I'm perfectly OK with that. =)
