Just Skimmed Through STORMS

Her book is not a tell-all but a spiteful tell-on-you. There is a difference between artistic expression in a song-writers musing and mud-slinging for profit.

Your jealousy is showing! Carol was in the inner circle and was Lindsey Buckingham's girlfriend for several years. Deal with it.

SN is an old (scorned?) ex girlfriend too. And Lindsey and Stevie play up things to make a quick buck!

I think Carol should take a lesson from Patti - by keeping the stories and the gory details close to your vest like Jackie O.

Patti Boyd often discusses her relationships with Clapton and Harrison in interviews and brought out a book about these relationships last week!

The child came second to her need to be in Hollywood pursuing a career that was undefined until she met her first Hollywood (con) artist. Otherwise she would have gotten a better paying job and sucked it in and toughed it out. I'm sure the daughter would have rather had her mother's love than a chance "at a college education."CarolC

You are either very young or very cruel.

How do you feel about Stevie's multiple abortions? Do you think she should sucked it in and toughed it out? Is she calculating too? Did her potential children come second to her need to be in Hollywood pursuing a career?

Abstinence does work, and so does birth control. But you have to take responsibility for your body and educate yourself on how to effectively use it; especially if you can not afford to have a child.

Wow! Are you for real??? It must be difficult for such a judgmental person like yourself knowing that Stevie used abortion as a form of birth control.

They wouldn't have to read it if Daddy wasn't trying to strangle her.

Alleged? Stevie's admitted to at least four.

You crack me up! I can't believe there are still people out there waiting for Stevie and Lindsey to get back together. It's been 30 years, get over it!

And wouldn't it be a bit amoral of Stevie to deprive three little children of their daddy?

You'd make a great lawyer, posing speculation as fact.

If he attempted to strangle her he could have killed her. They both were lucky!

I'm a legal historian.

Stevie admitted in an interview in the Daily Mail (a UK newspaper) that she had four abortions.

It was about ten years ago - maybe before you were born?

I say let's see the records, which I submit are not there because they never existed.

Yes he was married way back when, he keeps her up in the attic now. Let's hope the latest Mrs B doesn't get curious about the noises up there in the dead of night. . .

Having read this thread I do feel like I've already read the damn thing.

Am I the only one who is bored to death with the constant descriptions of the amount of coke everyone was doing? Jesus, enough already.

I don't think I'm going to make it to the end.

Still the story about Christine's "granny knickers" was funny

Gail

My parents always told me not to take coke because it would kill me. Yet no one in the band died after taking mountains of the stuff for over ten years.

I hate being lied to!

Okay, **** this. I'm getting drunk over on the GBV board.
