Stevie Q&A

#1 10-25-2004, 07:50 AM

I'm sorry, i know i started the last thread about the same topic but i need to vent badly....what the hell is up with this woman's answers?:

Q: Hello there, Stevie...I was especially moved by track #3 on the new Fleetwood Mac LP, the one dedicated to the people of New York post 9-11. Can you tell me a bit more about the song and your inspiration in writing it? I am a long time fan and think its a brilliant piece of work, as good as anything you have done.

Stevie's answer:

It’s about 9-11. I was in New York that morning, and then stayed in the city until Thursday night. It’s just about that time.

Gee Stevie don't hold back or anything. I'm not wasting my time trying to come up with a superb question only to have it shot down in four or five words.

SHEEEEEESH!

She should just take a hot soak in a bath instead of pretending to conduct a Q&A for these fans.

Nobody ever taught her the old workplace goal of "efficient use of time."

someone bring this woman a bottle of brandy. she used to say (in the days)
that she would LOVE to talk to "you"...i remember her saying that she felt at the end of one of her shows she would like to have a podium and take questions.

Isn't it strange? In interviews she usually is much more open. Why in your opinion she's keeping her Q&A on this cold tone?

I'm sure it's strange for her to answer these questions. She likes to get to know people and talk to them. The babbling Stevie is still with us.

She hasn't been like that for quite some time now. I first noticed it around TISL.

I don't know. I don't really care because she doesn't seem like that in real life. For example, my Grandpa does email but gets straight to the point and doesn't waste time with details in his messages. I think this is because he isn't comfortable with a computer. The same could apply to Stevie.

Also, I am sure she has thousands of messages and couldn't write more then a sentence or two for each. Although, if I were her I would just reply to a few with some meaningful sentences even if she didn't get to answer that many of them.

The problem is, she really doesn't answer that many, does she?
so there goes that theory...

Yeah, not only does everyone have to wait months and months for answers, she gives answers that any of us could've come up with on our own. And you know she must get lots of interesting questions, but she chooses to answer lots of boring ones. And one could find answers to some of those questions by going through magazine articles or just asking someone else on a message board. I'm sure lots of people have asked her strange questions no one has ever asked before, but of course she wouldn't answer those.

I, personally, asked her to settle the great "Seven Wonders" debate..."nevah", "sara" or "tara"?

probably not one of the interesting ones, though...

I don't think it is her, I think it is a staffer.

You may have hit the nail on the head. And if you're right, it's yet another nail in the coffin of online fan treatment that Stevie's staff have been nailing up for years.

She nearly rivals Mick in that department.

That's a great question, actually. We've all wondered about it for years. I'd rather hear Stevie tell me what it is she's saying in "Seven Wonders" than answer some fool's boring question about what it's like to sing love songs to an ex-boyfriend.

I think she hates us.

No, seriously. She got off to a very bad start six or eight years ago with her online fanbase, believing all the **** her friends & employees were feeding her about how cruel & dangerous we all were on the Internet.

She has got a bit better in recent years (the decision to go official with Nicks Fix was strictly a marketing ploy), but nonetheless still is wary of the Web fanbase. The combination of fear & loathing possibly prevents her from wanting to open up much online. JMO.

that's weird. people are way more dangerous in person.
so, do you think it's "nevah"?
