Not so dumb, but she had a lot of luck. The Farrah Faucet era, really went far back then.

Christine stayed in her lane, and still passed away with millions.

LB much of the same, but I think he wanted the bigger lane. He out "smarted" himself, which was just as dumb. Know your audience.

Lindsey should have made an album with Christine in '87 while the rest of the lot sobered up. It would have saved him an entire decade of turmoil and BS. It probably would have gone over (with Stevie) about as well as it did in 2017.

Say what you will, about Goat, she's worked harder than any of them.

Anyone that has toured or sat in a studio knows this.

I still maintain, after all these years, if $he'd been fugly, $he'd have gone nowhere.

No one ever wrote a song, Sit On My Face, Phyllis Diller. Just sayin'....

Paul Fishkin: She was going to be a superstar or a nobody. Nothing in between.

that was Keith Olsen.

Regardless, that statement sums up her whole life.

Paul Fishkin did however have the quote that says it all but that everyone ignored: "All the near-overdoses on the road"

Yes and that line was cut from the Behind the Music. But it was in the previews.
You have a very good memory. Most would have forgotten that.

"There were times, you know, when she, we had to just scrape her off the floor."

I remember watching back in the day and still have the original recording from when it first aired and thought, "Wait, did I miss that part?" I'd rewind, but nope, it was cut, and I always wondered why have it as a preview before commercial only to edit it out?

I'm sure she demanded that it be left out. She really doesn't want people to know what a mess she was. Addiction is really ugly. I kind of don't blame her..but... I wonder if Paul Fishkin had to pay a price at least for a while for saying that.... Though she's been really nice about him since, saying what a good guy he was. And she was invited to his daughter's wedding and stood up and sang Landslide at the reception (not clear if that was planned or, you know... just Stevie)

I thought exactly the same thing. What a teaser that drop was though. I assume he was talking about the Wild Heart tour when Paul was still around in her career. Did he not sort of fall back post Wild Heart. Or maybe it was the RAL tour. The Red Rocks beginning is crazy when Dennis is trying to get her on stage and she is just running around with no direction as if she does not know or care she has to get to the stage. He looks like he is trying to herd a cat and physically take her to the stage with his hands.

Since I just read Tango was announced 37 years ago, I was listening the Deluxe edition, bypassing some remixes I don't like.

But when I heard Juliet I thought humm, it's not that bad. Actually I like it far more than When I See You Again, and I'd have enjoyed it much more in the album, than the whatta matta baaabies.
