We Are So Lucky

We are so lucky...

Because we have Stevie Nicks. We are fans and we know her magic.

I just feel sorry for those not touched by her songs, her voice, even her life. They are definitely missing something.

I just saw her on Divas Live and she just lit up the stage...everyone was mesmerized and then she got the standing O because of her beautiful presence.

No one is like her!!!

Very well said Janet!

Sometimes I know my friends think I am cracked, because Stevie doesn't really seem to fit into their musical schemes...but I have never cared. When Stevie says she hopes her music can take people away for a little bit...well, it has! When I'm by myself its virtually all I listen to. If I'm sad there are songs that touch me...if I'm angry there are songs that touch me. I'm not a fan that ever wanted to really be like Stevie -or try and write mystical poetry- or to paint misty scenes with maidens. But in some small way I think we are all similar...we like the mysterious, the ambiguous. And we all like to be taken away, at least for a little while. Who else can do that as well as Stevie can? No one.

if you had to sum up Stevie in one word it would be

MAGICAL

Hold up. You're sayin that non-Stevie people's lives are lacking if they don't like her or have heard her and were'n't like blown away by her? Who's the "we" here? That's like saying people that are jewish are "missing something" cause they don't believe in Jesus.

It's all individual what people like and don't like. Live and let live. I could care less who likes Stevie and who doesn't. I like her fine, but the music world is a BIG PLACE and there are peeps 100 times better than her! People who don't like her aren't "missing" anything if they haven't heard her or Fleetwood Mac music. You can't "miss" what you have never experieced or do not want to experience, since it was never there in the first place for anyone who hasn't heard her.

True that, WWO(NOT Adam,I am so sorry about that,again)..I mean..i think Stevie's music is great and all..but i have plenty of friends who just don't listen to her and the Mac,period..they have their own favorites..and they aren't really missing anything in their lives...they are just touched by something different.

WhiteWingedOne · #7 08-16-2002, 10:25 PM

That's cool, Sarah. Some other dude called me "dear" on another thread! I think that's worse than being called Adam.

yeezus! why do I need to do that? why would anyone need to do that? and just who are you to tell what/which/where board people can use to post their thoughts on?

Last time I checked, I was on a public message board. I can express myself fairly well for a kid AND answer someone (and btw honey lamb I wasn't talkin' to you!

) AND I sure am not the only one who knows Stephanie Nicks doesnt' have floral farts and poops vanilla ice cream

Any doubts just look at the number of views of this thread vs the number of replies. There's the reality check for your day.

You can just give it up first!

I know that some people get annoyed when I do this... but before this has a chance to get out of hand, I'd like to once again remind all and sundry to please conduct themselves in a respectful fashion.

All views are allowed here, and everyone should be comfortable expressing their own opinion.

Thank you,
Johnny Stew

ITA, Janet. I have pretty much been a Stevie fan my whole life, as I can remember my mom listening to her when I was growing up. But I also remember the time that I first listened and actually "got" the message she was trying to send. After that, I went and bought BD, WH, the White Album, and Tusk. (I already had RAL, OSOTM, Tango, and, lol... my mom's copy of Rumours

) and I listened to them all, even the ones I already had, straight through. I was just amazed. Beyond amazed. And I truly do kick myself for not realizing it (her "message") sooner...because I sure could have used the support her words and music have provided since, many times over, back then.

well her message for the most part says "SOS LINDSEY!!!!"

Stevie's really a little girl and she needs a lot of help sharpening her crayons when she writes her songs. They aren't bad songs, they're just written like a schoolgirl with her head in the clouds. I am still waiting for a 53 year old Stevie to come out and give me some more "I know what I am saying now cause I am old" lyrics.

She has this in her!

She's older than my mom and my mom said this too.

EnchantedStorms · #13 08-17-2002, 02:32 AM

Her message is about life. About love. About pain. And about how to deal with it all. Some people, even if they have heard Stevie's songs before, still don't like it. They don't "get" it. Not that that is a terrible thing. To each his own. BUT....I do know what she has given ME over the years. And I can say that I have seriously BENEFITED from it. I think all anyone is trying to say is that they, knowing what THEY have gained, wish that everyone could experience that same enrichment. NOT that they are worse off for NOT having listened and liked what they heard, but that they COULD be enlightened, or enriched, if they could get the same enjoyment, fulfillment, and understanding as the ones that do get it.

yeah ok! but that's what "music" is all about!! about those 4 elements. SO!! every single song ever written by anyone, anywhere, at any time in HISTORY tells the same damn story or stories. Love gained, love goes, girl comes, boy goes. Different words are used that's all. Some write the songs in crayon, some use pen, some use computers and some used the walls of caves.
I agree with Christine McVie who said once alot of Stevie's lyrics are "rubbish" cause they just are! I don't get anything out of

"she stairs at the stairs blah blah so many things to stare at" or

"well you've been asleep well I've been asleep for how long she says."

Stoner junk. But if it turns you on!!

EnchantedStorms · #15 08-17-2002, 07:11 AM

wow. Your post is "slightly" different this morning, than it was last night. The one last night (or rather, EARLIER this morning, lol) was a lot friendlier....at least towards Stevie...IMO. Anyway...I can see this is going to turn into yet another bashing thread and, I think I said before, I don't have time for them. Stoner junk? Um, no. I've smoked pot two times in my life, and that was more than enough for me, I saw no need to try any of the other, harder stuff. But--"she stares at the stairs, there's so many things to stare at these days"....Is one of my favorite lines of Stevie's. Ever been so down...so let down...by life, that you just don't have the energy for anything ? Maybe you are young enough that you haven't had to experience anything, yet, that has been so traumatizing, or life-altering. Well, when you are told that you will never have children of your own...that is enough to make you "sit and stare" at everything, at nothing...for a LONG time...trying to figure out where in the hell your life is going now . As I said before...to each his own. You obviously don't "get" Stevie. That's fine. Just don't bash the people who do. As for Christine's quote...it makes me laugh, but then, I don't think she "gets" Stevie's message 3/4 of the time, either. Yes, every songwriter out there writes about love, life, etc. But SOME know how to do it in a way that "strikes a chord" with some people. Stevie happens to do that for me, and for a lot of people that frequent this board. I suppose we all just get tired of feeling like we have to explain ourselves, and defend her, all the time. There was another post, on one of the lengthy threads on this subject, that detailed WHY we are so quick to defend her. Very good post. You should go read it.

Oh, and doesn't Stevie usually use a typewriter when she writes? Think I remember reading that somewhere.
