The Destruction of Modern Women

[Mrs TexasJenn]

That is sad. Fame and love from the masses often feels better to the atheistic artist than the singular love of a spouse. There are exceptions of course, but very few. Stevie is an addict (Gold Dust Woman) and so it is of no surprise that she finds solice in "shopping" and "performing" to fill the void of her and Lindsey's lost love.

Stevie has probably never written a great song without some kind of help from Lindsey. Songs like Landslide in particular were basically arranged and co-written by Lindsey, and the song is most definitely about their relationship. But then again almost every great song Buckingham or Nicks ever wrote is about their relationship. That is why, in part, that their wells have run dry creatively (age being another factor).

In the below clip you can hear the regret and defensive copium in Stevie's voice with regards to losing Lindsey to "the band" (i.e her choosing fame and the rock n' roll lifestyle over marriage and family).

I agree. Also, I believe that any mass popular musician has to sell their soul to get there, and she seems to be a pretty clear cut case. She's only doubled down on her "rock star" stories. I've never seen any signs of repentance.

I agree she's not any kind of virtuoso. I think she has a cool, distinctive voice. I think they have some very good songs that everybody knows but she only contributed so much creatively. I think she put together a striking look for the time and had a magnetic feminine aura that was a powerful force for many fans. I think all the drama of the band's romantic shenanigans was fascinating to the masses. Some of her solo songs are good, but who knows how much help she had with the writing and arrangement. Probably a lot.

Do you want a gal to love you? There are lots of women out there who would love to love a good man.

ya, but I invested a lot in Disney junk to the point where I created a whole thread on here about it. I’m more in the same page as Fr Trendham is.



He did this piece in regards to the topic.

what’s a good man tho? When he doesn’t let her have her “breaks” and dumps her he’s just controlling and abusive. I believe regardless of sex, people need to know what they’re getting into in regards to sexual relationships… unfortunately we’re so severed from the metaphysics of that it’s all a mess. I’m seriously surprised monasticism isn’t making a come back.
