New TVNZ Interview!

[~GoldDustWoman~]

It's not working for me.... I get to the site but the video doesn't load or something.

[~GoldDustWoman~]

Correction, I changed it to Windows and it worked. Like her outfit, also I agree with the guys who say it's kind of monotonous to just hear about all the bad stuff that happened. I agree I would like to hear about happier stuff.

Blah blah blah, same old crap. I can't imagine how Stevie isn't SICK of reciting these formulaic responses! I hate more than anything, that she didn't weave any of her answers into what the band is doing NOW, and the direction it's HEADING IN. It seems like she's just given in to the fact that the band has become an oldies tribute act.

what made me LOL was her comments about "honor." what in god's name did fleetwood mac ever do to deserve "honor"?

what an ugly peek into her pathetic, bloated ego.

I really think (read: hope) that she was trying to say that the press and fans acted with more honor/restraint.

I actually think this interview was done at her house... behind the interviewer, the fireplace looks exactly like the fire place that was the backdrop behind Stevie during the Eye to Eye Sunday Morning interview from a few years ago on CBS. Not that it matters, just an observation.

You are correct. This was taped in her home...

Michele, yes - exactly! I loved to hear a little more detail about the "arrangement" or even perhaps some of her persuasion used to get Lindsey to join. And, I can see where he probably was very upset it actually worked out! But, gotta hand it to Stevie for having the foresight to plan ahead. She's right - if it hadn't worked out the money would have greatly helped them move forward with BN.

What about her Gemini-speak in the same interview...

"I think they know me pretty well because I've been very very honest since the very beginning of who I am and the things that I loved..."

"As much as you guys all think you know about us you don't know anything about us. If the story was really to be told there's so much that we have been discreet about."

Love it!

Oh, and so the date of her beginning with Lindsey has now officially been pushed back to 1969 instead of 1971. With all the Los Gatos talk and the summer of love on the current tour and this interview where she admits they had lived together 5 years prior to joining FM... just sayin'. Love that BN history!

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed that interview. I learned some new things in there that I've never heard her share before. I was cracking up because I've been a waiter and I clean for a living and she called those both "dumb ass jobs." So me and Stevie have a lot in common, though I don't consider those dumb ass jobs. Just hard working ones.

Thank you for finding and posting this interview!

Thanks for bringing this up--I love Stevie, but it bothers me a little that she always refers to her waitressing and cleaning as "stupid" or dumbass" jobs.

I did really laugh about her being horrified at the fans that waded through the "eel" water to get to her stage in New Zealand. You know Stevie would never get in eel water for anyone!!!

But she doesn't... on the Live in Chicago DVD I believe she says about waitressing that she didn't mind it, she actually liked it.

You're probably right, but now the mantle is painted pink and it used to be white.

Well, if the 2 of them were lying all of that time, it would be interesting to see if she alters her introduction to Gypsy when members of Fritz are in the audience. The lie would have to be for their sake, I would imagine.

Would she know or care if members of Fritz were in the audience?

Well, she'd know if they were in the audience. For one thing, she'd know because Lindsey always makes a point of introducing them!

No, I don't think she would care. I was just speculating, because I'm puzzled and raised the query in response to CADreaming's comment.

Lindsey and Stevie were both young, single people. If they became romantically involved while they were still with Fritz, why did they lie about it for 30 years? What motive did they have? Other than Fritz, who would have cared?

I mean, even as late as the SYW tour, both of them were saying, "but nothing ever happened." Meanwhile, Javier told us that everyone knew they were a couple in Fritz, because they sided with each other on all band issues (which is probably the last time that ever happened).

I see no reason why they would care about their Fritz bandmates' feelings after all these years, but if they had a pact not to tell the truth about the start of their relationship, that can be the only reason I can think of that would cause them to do so. Michele
