You are...Donna, the only one trolling here is YOU. You are the only one that I see really arguing this issue with such vehemence. For someone who doesn't really care for Stevie Nicks, you seem to be awfully passionate about her and her fan base. You supposedly hate name calling but yet you do what you hate with the excuse "it's all (someone) will understand". You are the one throwing out names like "troll", "childish" and slyly calling others stupid.<br /><br />YOU need to accept that others will be negative and positive, just are you are negative and positive. YOU don't need to be doing any name calling. But, obviously, it's something you feel is necessary because it is apparently all YOU can understand.<br /><br />Consider THIS YOUR time out.LindseysGuitarStringsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-59747454890866151782013-05-14T02:08:36.814-05:002013-05-14T02:08:36.814-05:00No, YOU misunderstood.
You believe that because ...No, YOU misunderstood. <br />You believe that because people disagree with your negative review, you can label them, "flying monkeys". <br />You obviously think you are smarter than you actually are. If you cannot accept positive reviews, just as you have a negative review, you are trolling. You are so wrapped up in hating on the issue that those who are not hating make you jump to calling them flying monkeys. Because someone disagrees with your negative comment, you dismiss them as a flying monkey. <br />Since you are so childish and jump to name calling, I responded in a manner you can comprehend. If they are flying monkeys, you are are a troll. It is sad that adults aren't beyond name calling. But such behavior is all you can understand. Just accept that others will be as positive as you are negative. No name calling needed. But again, it is obviously the only way you can interact with others.

You seem to have misunderstood the idea of...@Donna<br /><br />You seem to have misunderstood the idea of Flying Monkeys totally. It's nothing to do with people not agreeing, it's ALL to do with a select group of fans acting as if to have an opinion, like yours mentioned above <i>"I don't even like Stevie's music"</i>, is wrong or against some form of code that should never be broken. A Flying Monkey would tell you you're wrong to have that view or that you're just a troll looking to make trouble. You would likely get the rsponce "why are you even on this site?"....<br /><br />They simply won't allow you to have a negative public opinion without having a go at you for it. <br /><br />You last post has really painted you into a corner and shows how little you have read the comments before it and tried to understand what others are saying. <br /><br />You're not listening, you're just erratically typing.<br />Rutherford68noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-17369125265619686732013-05-13T11:02:51.628-05:002013-05-13T11:02:51.628-05:00What idiot created the term Flying Monkey for Stev...What idiot created the term Flying Monkey for Stevie's fans anyway? <br /><br />I love Stevie but that doesn't mean that I love everything that she does.<br /><br />What I do believe isn't fair is how the critics always point out that Stevie can no longer hit the high notes while she can still sing in a lower register. I am also a fan of Lindsey's, but his voice isn't what it used to be either and yet he seems to escape the comments that are always made about Stevie's voice. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-74855630319877726742013-05-13T00:31:02.942-05:002013-05-13T00:31:02.942-05:00You don't agree with me??????

Her point of view means nothing to me. But her regular nastiness stating her point of view is ridiculous. She is a typical troll. If my calling her out grabs your attention, then it does. But because people like this EP, it does not make them a flying monkey. Anytime someone disagrees with a negative review, they are called a flying monkey and that is ridiculous.

Throughout history, their has always been a primal need to worship a female deity figure.

Other than that, she seems like she has a pretty "normal" rock star life.

Even when you don't enjoy or particularly care for something. Don't upset "La Nicks", "The Goddess", "Stephanie", or "Mama"... <br /><br />If you have anything that's not 100% fawning adoration to say, you better just not bother. If you do you'll be attacked by the Flying Monkeys who'll tell you you're not a real fan, you're being unfair, or you're cruel and disrespectful to Stevie. <br /><br />Basically, Stevie's "Flying Monkeys" want you to be quiet unless your opinion matches theirs. Many of the sites run by fans even delete posts and comments from users with differing views. I've see it happen personally. <br /><br />So there, that's what the "Flying Monkeys" thing is all about.

You know why Bob Dylan charges "only" $100 at the same venue where Fleetwood Mac charges $150? Because even at that price (which was not cheap, especially for the show he does), Dylan show manages to sell only about a third of the tickets when compared to the audience Fleetwood Mac packs.<br /><br />I have seen both shows very recently - Dylan and Fleetwood Mac. You opinion that Dylan shows were better... well, you are entitled to it. It's a rare opinion. I fell asleep during Dylan's show.

Mainly, I'm addressing the above post. I would like to preface this with 'we are all entitled to our own opinion'. The statement that shocked me...<br />"The ONLY time I have ever felt comfortable admitting I am a FM/SN/LB fan is when I am in the company of other FM/SN/LB fans because this has been a band that has always pretty much been nothing more than a guilty pleasure" . Really??? Again, I respect your opinion, but clearly given your post you are a fan. I couldn't give a rats ass what people think of my musical choices...however eclectic, different, or embarrassing. We like what we like. I LOVE Fleetwood Mac, I will tell anyone who asks. I have been lucky enough to see over 20 FM concerts with more to come. I've lost count of the Stevie concerts I've seen. Have every track SN or FM released been gems - certainly not. I think we will agree that everyone likes what they like for very personal reasons. <br />I am very happy to pay big dollars to see the "washed up has-beens". <br />When the day comes and they no longer tour or release new music, I will look back fondly on the music they have made that has provided me with so much enjoyment over the years. <br />As far as your last statement - and again, you seemed to take a crap on other people's posts heartily, so I think my opinion is fair game here..." Again, I must say you either don't listen to much music or don't pay much attention to artists as a whole. There are more than two great bands in the history of music".... Well la-di-da. Clearly that poster wasn't entitled to their opinion either. <br />I would pick apart your 'holier-than-thou' post a little longer, but I have to pack my bags. Got plans to go rock out to another Fleetwood Mac concert that I have dropped big dollars to see. Every penny well spent, and I have NEVER been ashamed of being a Fleetwood Mac fan.
