Dont Look at me…

I turned on the TV last night to catch the end of the UFC’s “Count Down to Silva and (some other guy)” fight, right. Flipping through the channels and noticed that PBS was running this show called “Sound Stage”, and I thought I’d just see who they were featuring. I get there, and it was Steve Nicks. Now, anybody that knows me, knows that this is simply NOT my cup of tea, but before I could change the channel, I was completely enthralled with the performance. I don’t know what else to tell you? I was captivated. Truly an amazing performance. And by someone I had absolutely no interest in what so ever. I sat and watched the whole show. Steve Nicks was indeed a class act. She sounded great, she looked good, but there was something else? Something I hadn’t seen in a long time. Something that in todays bands and singers seems to be lost or perhaps so over produced it gets shoved aside in place of throwing off the right attitude, be it “bad boy” or “though girl” or completely “EMO”. The thing that struck me was her connection to the music. It wasn’t just words coming out of her mouth… Her entire life and soul was in every sound wave. I was impressed, no, I was VERY impressed. Ok, ok, back to reality. So maybe I’m no uber-fan, and I’m probably not very likely to go buy any albums, but I would sit through that show again, and for me, that’s saying something.
