I'm not sure that sort of devotion really captures Christine's personality or spirit. She's a lot more wry, sardonic & critical, & not quite so woozy-eyed. I myself approach Christine (& the rest of the Mac) the way she would approach her favorites: "Let's see how this all measures up"

I don't fret over reminding others, because it's their deal if they wish to deify her... they're only going to end up disappointed in the end anyway, when mortality proves once and for all that she was only human. The fans that I have the most bemused view of, tend to be the ones who seem to feel some obssessive-compulsive need to crucify (or ridicule) the woman at every turn. Does it really bother them that much if someone else sees her as perfect... and, if so, why? Or is it that they're paranoid about being deemed guilty by association? Or is it an ego thing, and they mistakenly think that demonstrations of cynicism are proof that they're so much more intelligent than those around them? Frankly, I know what my I.Q. is, and, more importantly, I'm confident in my ability to reason and discern. I also know that I view Stevie Nicks, quite simply, as a songwriter who happens to write the lyrics that move me moreso than any other lyricist has ever been able to, and happens to possess the voice that fascinates and entertains me moreso than any other singing voice I've ever heard. I make no apologies for actually being fond of the woman, and being impressed by the way she's matured and grown over the years. So I don't worry about being viewed as a sycophant, because I know the truth. The amount of Stevie's material that I'm not impressed by is dwarfed by the amount of material I am impressed by... and I've never seen a reason to dwell on the negatives. Especially when there are so many positives to focus on. Plus, I just don't feel I have to tear Stevie down at every opportunity to prove something to myself or to anyone else. Basically, I make absolutely no apologies for being a Stevie Nicks Fan. Never have. Never will. ![]()
