Reply to "Night of 1000 Stevies 19: Songs of Rhiannon is May 1, 2009"

^^^Thanks Daddy


And here are 2 more recent interviews where Stevie talks about NOTS...

http://www.ebar.com/arts/art_a...ec=music&article=604

Your songs "Edge of 17" and "Gypsy" inspired the gay coming-of-age movies Edge of Seventeen and Gypsy 83. Have always been aware of your gay following?

"I became aware of it with Night of a Thousand Stevies . I am thrilled and honored that the gay community backs my music. I always kid that one day, all you Night of a Thousand Stevies people, one day I'll be there, in complete dress, and you won't know it. I'll be hulking around somewhere, standing behind you, so be careful what you say, because I could be standing next to you at any moment!"

So, Night of a Thousand Stevies is coming up in May, and there are die-hard fans who are convinced that you showed up one year in disguise.

"I didn't. I did not. But you know what? Sometimes I think I should just lie and say I did! The fact is that I've never been to a Night of a Thousand Stevies, not because I wouldn't like to come. I would love to go. But I’m always working. And I’m usually working on something that I can’t get out of. And I live on the other side of the country. I would love to attend Night of a Thousand Stevies. And what I’d like to do is come in total Stevie disguise. Which of course nobody could do better than me! And one year, watch out all you people, I will be there! And you won’t know, so watch everything you say, because I could be lurking! [Laughs]"

Question: Does it ever hit you that you’re a cultural icon?

"It probably doesn’t. Because, I play the gigs, I go back to the hotel. I don’t get to go out to clubs. I don’t even get to go out to dinner! So, when you ask me if I’m aware of my iconic status—it’s like hearing the PA in the venue. I’m aware because I can hear it, but I don’t get to be a part of it that often. And I’m sorry about that, because I would like to be more a part of it, and dig on it more. And I don’t really get to do that. But I will tell you I am very, very honored. I’m very honored about Night of a Thousand Stevies. I think it’s precious. And it goes straight to my heart. I wish I could come there every year. I know I’m a rock ’n’ roll star, but I work very hard. I’m the worker bee. I don’t really get to enjoy the honey comb very much."
