Older artists do this more than younger artists because they need to pace themselves. It's actually the sign of a seasoned veteran artist when he/she knows how to pace themselves. I always welcome the opportunity to hear someone, whose music I love, take a few minutes to talk about their songs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-34743626079151787242011-09-18T18:43:36.564-05:002011-09-18T18:43:36.564-05:00The problem isn't that Lindsey talks.

Bream's review is completely rude and unnecessary. I think it was VH1 Storytellers that first got normally quiet musicians to open up and invite fans into their songwriting process, much like actors and filmmakers sit down to explain their inspirations and techniques. God forbid artists like Lindsey want to give fans a full experience rather than just playing songs we already own. If you don't want a little bonding time with Lindsey, stay your ass at home and play the CD!

Such bitter, petty, infantile stuff. I guess it's pretty commonplace on the net though. It just seems people would much rather be rude or negative than say anything positive. With "fans" like this, Stevie and Lindsey sure don't need any enemies-Grow up!

Come on man, it's just an artist that gets an opportunity to tell listeners where his thoughts were when a particular song is written and why it sounds the way it does (from his perspective.) You fuckers just don't get it. Sometimes an all inclusive show isn't just the music, it's the interaction in PLAIN ENGLISH.

If there's an agenda behind the words, the emotions seem forced and manipulative.<br /><br />Stevie's always been particularly good when addressing the audience. If she has a cause to promote, she makes it clear it's important to her, but she always keeps it brief. <br /><br />Never seen Bono or U2, but from what I've read, he's another artist that uses the stage (and ticket sales) to push his agenda. <br /><br />I'm not saying it's good or bad...but an artist risks alienating audience members by forcing their personal beliefs/values to ticket-paying audiences who are there to hear them sing. <br /><br />Technically, "real" music artists lyrics should be their message.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-20056685357276502912011-09-17T10:50:45.635-05:002011-09-17T10:50:45.635-05:00I agree, but still...
