I hope it won't be difficult for her to tour with 3 married men who have very young wives and small children. Two of these men being great loves of her life. If the guys are with there families on their off hours, who does Stevie spend her time with?

I kind of wish Sheryl would open for them, so she could have her companionship during the tour. Although it seems that she and her assistant have a close friendship.

I really don't see Stevie as someone who is "alone", and if she is it's most likely because she chooses it. It is an interesting thought though about the comparison to Stevie and the other band members, them being family men and she still being single. I guess the whole band would still travel together but I don't see their families tagging along, at least not for the whole tour. I would also presume that Stevie has adjusted to her single life to a certain degree by now and maybe enjoying the freedom she has because of it. The freedom to dedicate more of her life to her music, go shopping, travelling wherever and whenever she wants, and well just whatever the heck she wants to do. After all she is THE QUEEN.


Anyone have the words to "The Tower" or where I can find them?

Cool

Thanks Brian...going there to check them out now...nite!

Here's a more "direct" link to the lyrics

http://www.sararhiannon.com/tower.html

When I read the words and in particular thought of 9/11, it sent shivers down my spine.

Yes, thank you Stevie for the words and the comfort that they give.

Doesn't Stevie usually tour with an entourage the size of a cruise ship?

Hey jwd!
I like your positve spin on this about-to-turn-melancholy thread!

Stevie is the Queen!
No poopy pull-ups, pudding paws, and baby barf for her!
Let those "regular" females deal with that!
lmao!

hi everyone,

Stevie being in New York on Sept 11th and also being the artist that she is, it is totally understandable to me that she was affected so deeply...besides she has said one of the reasons she got off drugs was to be able to feel again even if she feels very intensely. Personally, this is one of the main reasons why I love her and am such a big fan...

The Tower is also a very special song to me for some of the same reasons that Stevie wrote it... Even when you finally accept and realize you are not going to have children and you are moving on with your life, you can still have bad days and the experience of death can always bring those feelings to the surface...and I can see how easily this song has grown from a personal experience to a communal experience...

it was funny, i was listening on TV to some of the widows talk about their feelings of loss and even tho they were saying people can't possible understand their loss, alot of their feelings and words struck a familar chord with me. I finally concluded that "loss" is always both an individual and community experience, we all feel it as human beings just the details are different...and that's why I think that's why over the years Stevie's music and words has eventually touched every one of my friends and family over the years...even my anti-Stevie friends have come around...

so now that I've turned the thread melancholy again, I'm gonna go listen to "Stand Back"

Well Bella, you're a Queen too!

We ALL are in our own way......even some of the guys are !!
haha!!

I'm gonna think about that today when I'm cleaning the bathroom of my 7 and 8 yeard old boys. One of these days they are going to learn to aim, and somehow they will not develop amnesia as to what that little silver handle on the toilet tank is for! I just know it! I am a Queen dammit!

But Stevie is THE QUEEN!! Miss High Priestess herself! I hope she has people around her who make her feel as special as she is! There are alot of people who just express themselves in a very touching way, many of them not famous rock stars, but because Stevie is famous we glom onto her. So, I'm not worshipping her or anything like that, I am just saying it takes alot of internal fortitude to share your deep feelings the public, especially in a way that is comforting and that everyone can identify with. That's why I think she is special.......she can take a personal experience and put enough into it that it can mean many things to many different folks.

Well that's good to know! I hope she does travel with a huge entourage. We never really get to see her with anyone. I know she doesn't need a mate to be happy, but everyone needs companionship. It would be cool to know more about her friends and how they spend their time.

There's a picture in the tour book (very dark, can barely make it out) that looks like the girls sitting outside by candlelight. I'd love to know what they talk about!?! Bet there's lots of giggling. Stevie reminds me of a giggler!

Thumbs up

I wondered if there would be more journal entries of hers, what with the anniversary of Sept. 11th.
Thank you Stevie!!
Just the other day, I printed out all of her other entries, so that I could keep them forever with all of my Stevie stuff.

Stephanie
