Dance This Mess Around

dontlookdown · #1 07-05-2005, 12:40 PM

I'm curious what everybody thinks about this idea...

I recently "revisited" some old B-52's classics thanks to my ipod and decided that Stevie would do an incredible version of "Dance This Mess Around".
If you imagine the way she finished off Gold Dust Woman on the Dance tour, you can probably hear her version of this great old B-52's track.

Should we start a petition and get her to do it?

I know on a good night, Stevie knows how to have fun and she doesn't take herself so seriously that she would eschew this idea.

I've never used the word eschew in a sentence before.

Cheers

Would you say that to Bob Dylan?

Me either.

I'm afraid Homie has a point. Girlfriend does take herself too seriously sometimes, it seems.

Yep. The Bob Dylan comment FOREVER changed the way I feel about her.
Delusions of grandeur...

She's an egoist. Anyone with half a brain can see that at 500 paces. Same with everyone else in that band, with the exception of John and Chris.

When she made that comment she was'nt saying she was as good as Bob Dylan. She was talking about his liberal use of tenses

I agree with you but I think she was also unintentionally comparing herself to him. Maybe if I watched it again I'd feel differently but that was how I took it.

But like Josh said, they probably all know they're hot stuff except John and Chris. Well, I'm assuming he was just referring to the Rumours line-up, because I don't think all the others are like that.

I took it to mean that: I am an artist of the same caliber as Bob Dylan. IF you wouldn't question Bob Dylan's usage, HOW can you question mine?

"WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO BOB DYLAN?", clearly, IMO, indicates that she places herself in the same catagory. Like I said, delusions of grandeur.

Yes I agree with you about John and Chris after all " she is with the rythym section not part of the frontline" and he is "just an old fart bass player" a couple of my favorite quotes from them

Stevie was talking about their similar STYLE of writing and I thought it was a funny quote.

Ok that is the way YOU took it, but it also possible she meant it in a different way. Besides I think all rock stars have to have some delusions of grandeur just to be able to do what they do

Not Christine.

Hoteliers must have cringed to hear of their coming. Nicks’s rooms had to be repainted pink, so a white piano was required. And Caillat recalls at one European stopover a window frame was removed and a crane deployed to get a baby grand into Christine’s suite.

Oh, I don't want to fight about it, either. Though I must say that fighting on here can be fun, though.

Some people never let go.

I'll quote Stevie from Cream Magazine:
"I'm no Bob Dylan."

Did she say that before or after the comment on the DVD? The reason I ask is because I'm wondering if someone said something unkind about the comment and then she had to explain it. (Was it Homie?)

Whatever the case Homie, I have to say that it doesn't make sense to me that your opinion of the woman changed completely based on that one comment. It took a lot for me to change my opinion of Mick and I wasn't even that fond of him to begin with. In general, you'd think it would take more than a single comment for a person to change his or her mind completely about anyone.
