It's annoying, juvenile, and difficult to read. <br /><br />And please, spare us the "true stevie fans are not this way to her" BS, too! What do you think, Stevie's a china doll that's sitting at home reading internet chatter and bawling her eyes out because she's so fragile? Grow up! Some of you people are so far up in the clouds about who Stevie Nicks is you've lost touch with reality.

I thi...@ Disappointment Has Become Her Middle Name<br /><br />I think you penned my own thoughts perfectly. Maybe a little harshly, but perfectly (is that considered an oxymoron?). "You Can't Fix This" is a very uninspirimg song, that lacks a melody or a chorus one can easily get into. However, I am still anticipating Stevie's next original release; solo song or full album. <br />Rock Legendnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-55047419262927568912013-02-17T13:18:24.870-06:002013-02-17T13:18:24.870-06:00It's kinda ironic that Stevie's probably e...It's kinda ironic that Stevie's probably enjoying her career and life more than ever before, and yet so many of her fans seem so unhappy and borderline miserable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-57515491396274959702013-02-17T13:07:50.359-06:002013-02-17T13:07:50.359-06:00^^^More like from the gut-ter!^^^More like from the gut-ter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-72912227022116371312013-02-17T12:46:09.634-06:002013-02-17T12:46:09.634-06:00When I came across this I read the comments first,...When I came across this I read the comments first, before I listened to it. <br />Hardly the nadir of her career ( see 90% of Street Angel, Somebody Stand By Me from Boys on the Side).<br />This is not a pop/rock record. Look at the collaborators. Hard rock guys, most who have lost colleagues and friends to Heroin and other drug OD's. This is aimed at their audience. How many years did we hold our collective breath hoping not to read a tragic headline about Stevie? <br />The vocals are raw and delivered plaintively and forcefully. This is not Gypsy my friends. Don't think Grohl and company would sign on for that.<br />Tough subject matter, with an in your face delivery and driving guitars with sprinkles of Stevie imagery thrown in.<br />All those involved know this world and its not pretty. I believe it's from the gut. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-71118802004895797302013-02-17T11:57:22.334-06:002013-02-17T11:57:22.334-06:00Wow!

Just to add to that, I have a radio interview somewhere on cassette tape (with Jim Ladd maybe?) that she wrote Sara sitting on her bed at home "with lots of people around" and people were bringing her tea all night as she penned the lyrics to that masterpiece.

Being alone served her well in her younger days, as she churned out one effortless masterpiece after another in the majesty of her her own solitude (Landslide, Rhiannon, Dreams). She hasn't had a moment alone since, lest using a bathroom (and even there she's received assistance). She needs to do a serious cleansing, get away from everyone and re-connect with her Higher Self. Being a Gemini sucks, only when you are sucked-in and sucked-out. She should face herself, face her fears, get over it, and get everyone out of her space. From there. Stevie will re-discover her musical and writing gifts... and none too soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-25770602640350192202013-02-16T23:59:02.887-06:002013-02-16T23:59:02.887-06:00I freakin' LOOOOOVE this song!

It's nothing one would ever hum. The lyrics are particularly awful - so bad they almost erase Stevie's hard-won reputation as a top-tier songwriter. The lyrics are embarrassing. Whatever Stevie's current problems, she needs to guard against a song this horrendous getting out. Defend it if you must, Flying Monkeys, but do yourself a favor and listen to Anne Sexton reading HER KIND.

Sorry, guys but I've been a Stevie fans since about age 14 and I'm now 47. This is not a good Stevie song. I've been there all the way along the journey and this reminds me of the dark times Stevie's been through - not in terms of bad events, necessarily - but in terms of her being distracted or so out-of-it that you get a song like this. It sucks, Stevie. Where's the emotion, the melody, the hook? And to the brainwashed fans - Stevie's Monkeys - you're not doing Stevie any favors by telling her this terrible song and performance are great.

But then listen to the last half of the song - breathtaking!<br /><br />I'd also suggest that because it's a topic so close to her heart, she's singing in a way which represents how she feels - angry, sad, mad, broken. You can hear it in her voice, and you can feel it.<br /><br />As I said, it's not a favourite of mine. It certainly won't be played as much as songs from "In Your Dreams", but it's not as bad as some are making it out to be (in my opinion).Joseph Gouldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-88858959592644837602013-02-16T22:09:19.774-06:002013-02-16T22:09:19.774-06:00Good point.
