No new album in the works

[HejiraNYC]

This is WAY off topic... but somehow I do get the sense that Stevie is turning a corner in her career. It seems that the transformation is now complete- she is now more of an icon/legend than a relevant/current artist. And it seems that there is probably very little she could do now to change that. Sure, she could crap out an album of new material every couple of years, like Elton John or Yes or James Taylor, but it is unlikely that she will ever again garner the kind of press and hype that she used to, even with TISL. Next thing you know she will be doing an album of standards, or worse yet, re-recording the material from her salad days (can you say Joni and Alanis??). Then you can stick a fork in her recording career.

That being said, I think Stevie should do a reality show for VH1. She is perfect for this- a single, post-menopausal female rock n roll legend with lots of addictions, lots of famous friends, lots of famous ex-lovers and an ardent fan base. Add to the mix the fact that she lives with her brother, her sister-in-law and her budding rock n roller niece. And she struggles constantly with her creative muse, her commercial success, her weight and her unrequited love for Lindsey. And it's not like she hasn't done this sort of thing before (SYW documentary DVD), and she seems charming and easy-going enough on camera.

Stevie, give me a call. My people will talk to your people.

Can you exclude any War Of The Roses scenario?

Can you tell her to do it for MTV at least so we in Europe can watch it too... please ?

By the way, I think that with the right producer she still can say a lot as an artist. I hope she'll take the chance.
