"Truer words have never been spoke"!
She truly was inspired when this one spilled out of her. It's rich and tight, and jumps right into the action as if she had excised an introductory stanza. The final production is sublime but it's also sublime as a poem. I was thinking just recently how the way the phrases "of your loneliness"/"dreams of loneliness" just hang there jarringly is very effective. (But of course, lest we forget the fallen: "Christine McVie described the song as having "just three chords and one note in the left hand" and "boring" when Nicks played a rough version on the piano. McVie changed her mind after Buckingham "fashioned three sections out of identical chords, making each section sound completely different. He created the impression that there's a thread running through the whole thing." (source: Wikipedia))

If other posters on this forum have to explain to you that she didn't do all the work on those songs by herself (the only notion makes me laugh!), then I don't know which band you're following.

Lindsey tightened up her songs and made them hits. Before she dared compare herself to Bob Dylan he got her to cut a lot of the repetitive bits in songs, where she'd use the same word (angel, dream, etc) way too many times. Laziness.
That said, that *is* the job of a producer, so when he would insist on making a big deal of how he would just "do for her" blah blah blah, it's like dude, that's what a producer DOES. If you don't want to do it for her, then let someone else produce the band or at least her songs.

And yet Stevie has actually worked with Dylan while Lindsey has merely covered him. As for laziness, the majority of success is found through showing up.

Ironic you mention that considering that when Stevie was off singing with Bob Dylan and Tom Petty for no specific reason, Lindsey was in the studio. Working on an album for the band that Stevie was supposed to be part of too. An album that Stevie is barely on because (among other reasons) instead of spending much time recording with HER band she was doing things like going off to sing with other people. An album that ended up being very successful.

As I remember it it wasn't so much "working with Bob Dylan" as forcing herself upon Tom Petty and Bob Dylan on that tour and inviting herself along, then finally they let her sing a few choruses on stage with them. She "Nathan'd" them, really, is all. If I may be so bold as to go there. Obsessive fan girl, not a colleague. IMHO. Oh man those Traveling Wilburys days though!!!! They were the best!!!! Sad that we lost so many of them Anyone who has ever watched Border Security knows how tough our government can be when it comes to visas and visitors in the country – something Nicks had to learn the hard way. According to reports in The Daily Telegraph, the 69-year-old was nearly deported when visiting the land Down Under back in 1986. She had entered the country on a tourist visa to hang out with Tom Petty and Bob Dylan while they were on tour. At one of their gigs in Sydney, she had one of the best views in the house and watched on from the side of the stage. To her shock, she was pulled in front of the crowd and ended up singing ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ and ‘Knocking On Heaven’s Door’. It all sounds innocent enough, right? Wrong. After the Fleetwood Mac made another appearance on stage the following night, government officials believed she was in breach of her holiday visa – given that she was technically working. While fans couldn’t get enough of Nicks on stage, government officials weren’t so happy. “Tom’s wife couldn’t make the trip so I said I would go and keep those guys in line,” she explained to The Daily Telegraph. “I got to have fun just being a fan and had one of the most amazing months of my life. “I got to sing with them two nights and then I was told by the Australian government I would never be allowed back in the country, not with Fleetwood Mac, not by myself as a solo artist, not as a tourist if I did that again.”

And I wouldn't have gone to that rehearsal in Maui anyways. After all that happened and they've already gotten a "replacement" for you, what's the point. |

If it was worth fighting for, he should have gone. But, maybe too much went down for that. Who knows?

With the other two guys already there, we all know that's not what was going to go down in Maui. That's a real long way to go to say goodbye. |

The whole point was to embarrass him. That's how fu*king sick Stevie is.
