    Seems like she should just put on Masters of War and call it a day.

  • This Alan guy is an inflated self important turkey. I wanted to hear the song but of course I had to delete him because he went on and on and on…..

  • the best way to ruin and condescending to a writer’s work is to insert every random thought you have about each line as though your comments are as important as the writer’s work as a singular entity. Why not read the entire peace, giving your readers the opportunity to hear the author’s work as it was meant to be heard, and then tearing it apart with backhanded compliments and your own obvious biases.

  • Thanks for ruining what might have been interesting …. couldn’t get past this guy to enjoy Stevie’s work.

  • @Harriett – the guy in the YouTube video is not Alan Cross
    But I agree, I had to stop listening, as he wouldn’t shut up.

  • Wow. I agree with the above comment from Meg. Who are you to take away Stevie’s well-deserved award? Who are you to denigrate her talent and thoughts? You are a pompous ass. It sounds like you don’t even listen to her music. It was extremely painful to watch and listen to you.

    Will look elsewhere (if it shows up) after seeing Meg’s comment above, and that this is almost 10 minutes long, I already got bored with it. Just print it and let me listen if I want to.

    Why is this guy so annoying? Is he just trying to entertain himself? He doesn’t even understand what poems are, he can’t read it in its entirety, has no real knowledge of Stevie Nicks, journal writing, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or broadcasting skills. I’m sorry I clicked and happy I stopped half way through.

  • Dear Mr. Annoying,
    I hope you live forever in a world where you have to listen to yourself on repeat.
    I hope I never have to live a moment in that world.

    Fleetwood Mac definitely goes into the R&R Hall of Fame before Pat Benatar. I guess I could agree Pat before Stevie Nicks as a solo artist, but both deserve to be there. Carly Simon before any of these.
