Not sure if they were ripping Stevie off personally, but do the math.
"Writers Block???" Thanks for the laugh!

So you are saying that it is definate that Stevie is not going to do anymore albums, or because of what you found on the Nicksfix that it is only probable?

Didn't really mean to speculate about that - And I definitely don't
want to start any Rumours - I'm just simply wondering if maybe
there's a little more to this than meets the eye.
After reading the article I sort of received a "general impression"
that it's more like a general, unspoken resistance - kind of an
informal, unspoken "screw you" without really flat-out saying it.
Sort of a general, "I'll get around to another album as soon as I
feel motivated to, and right at this particular moment?
I don't feel particularly 'motivated.' So SUE me, sue Stevie NICKS!"
I'm not clear on whether Stevie was affected by this directly -
but how would you feel if you suddenly found out that your boss
had been ripping you and your friends off for decades,
and then came to you with a job for you to do?
Would you feel particulary motivated to work at that point?
Or would you maybe feel like taking a bit of a vacation,
and leaving your boss to swing in the wind for a while???

I haven't read your replies, but i have voted for end after the AUS AND NZ tour, not for good though so i hope that that isn't what it means! Just stop for a while

I understand what you mean. With you putting it that way, it now makes much more sense to me what is possibly going on with Stevie, and what is happening with her in the music business right now. Thanks for clearing the air Ghost Tracker!

But truly, it's us evil music downloaders who are stealing from the artists.

I don't why it's so hard for you to believe. The woman said herself that she's written one song in the past eighteen months. She's either got writer's block, or she just doesn't give a **** about writing new material. I tend to think it's the latter, myself.

Sad to say but yet so true...Wonder how long before she starts to play the Six Flag theme parks?

I've said this before and it bears repeating .I truly hope she retires before it comes to that.The idea of hers that she has to be played on Top 40 radio alongside Ludicris and Ashlee Simpson before she can release another album of new material is a major disappointment and a bit delusional as well since it has been over 15 years since she actually did have a new song on Top 40 radio.It just leaves me to think she is not interested in doing anything creative musically anymore, and for someone that has been a fan since they were a kid and the Rumours era this is kind of depressing. Hopefully she will have the class to gracefully retire instead of interminable touring with the same old act to ever dwindling audiences and shabbier venues .I went to see her on this last tour but I don't think I want to witness that kind of decline in someone that has meant so much to me for so many years.

I must have missed the part where Stevie was seen living with Jimmy Iovine who now has become her personal butler to stay close to her and to watch her over.
The lady has a working brain, I'm sure she can manage her career (whatever it would be) with class.

Good example, after her Street Angel tour ended, in 1995 (as it says in her TISL art book) Stevie began working on her next project, "Trouble in Paradise ~or~ Shangri-La" with Christopher and Karen Johnston, after her inspirational talk over dinner with Tom Petty on April 24th 1995. She began writing that very night as she says. Then, two years later, in 1997, the Mac had their big reunion tour, The Dance, and it was a huge success. After completing the tour, instead of going back to work on her next album, Stevie decided to put that on hold AGAIN, and release Enchanted, and then doing yet another promotional tour. After that was over, Stevie was finally able to complete her next album, TISL, and release it in 2001. This whole process took a total of 7 years. So as we all have come to know about Stevie, she is a person who starts something, and then puts it off to finish later. IMO, it is very likely that after this Australian tour ends in late March of 2006, Stevie will take some deserved time off, and possibly in Sept. of 2006, (give or take a few months) she will begin working on a new album, either with FM or solo. It's not that Stevie doesn't want to write new songs, and release a new album, it's just that with this Gold Dust Tour, there is no time for her to sit down, and pour her heart out on paper. Eventually we will see a new album, but it will be on Stevie's terms. Again, Stevie never said that she will not be writing any new songs, or releasing albums anymore, she just said that she just does not have the time right now to write any new songs.

Stevie and Lori have both said there are no plans for another solo album. Plus she had all last winter off before she decided to do Vegas in March.

She doesnt give a **** about writing new material anymore. People do not want to accept that anything can ever change for Stevie...she has always written, so she will continue to write but will she want to continue writing for albums forever? Stevie's priorities have changed, IMHO. (plus she has said flat out how she feels about a new album and that she has written no 'songs') The idea that she has writer's block again because she has not written a song is bizarre.....I can think of ten thousand other reasons why she has not written a song other than writer's block. Again, it all goes back to fans not believing that Stevie's priorities, wants, needs, desires, dreams, hopes for the future could ever change.

One of the words I agreed with in Trackers post from above was "sue".

[Rickypt]

Hmm, this is a somewhat depressing thread.

I think there will be one more big FM tour, maybe 07. Then there will be one last solo tour. I don't see Stevie letting the Gold Dust tour be her finale. There will be no more album, FM or solo.

Hopefully the final solo tour will be at smaller and classier venues. FM tour will of course be at basketball stadiums so they can get as much cash as possible.

Personally, i refuse to believe anything about new albums, tours, etc... until Stevie herself says it in a definate statement saying "I/FM will/will not be doing another new album, tour, or etc..."

...and even then, it might not be true.
