What's your favourite Stevie quotes?

[BellaDonna93]

Fun to know! I love everything she says 'cause she got a great sense of humour but here are my favourites (they are in different colors so you know):

"If you can't rock'n'roll, you're old!" -

"I was not going to be a stupid girl singer. I was going to be way more than that."
"By the time I was five, I was a little diva."

"I came here for a reason. I didn't come here to be a mother, I didn't come here to be a nun and I did not come here to be a cleaning lady. I came here to be a poet!"

"I'm behind the time but in my own fashion world."

It's like somewhere between my Texas accent and my Utah accent and my L.A accent and my San Francisco accent and my ENGLISH accent. It's like people would, you know, wonder where I was from, but when I was with them I was very english. So you take on that sort of english thing, you know, where you are "Very proper" (imitating the english accent) and everything is absolutley, you know, it's either perfect or it's not and that's how, you know, that's how you talk. I mean it's just, you know, "John I ring you up when I get home!" (imitating Christine's english accent). It's like you get that with my other funny accent's that I had to thrown in it's like, I sang ridicculous. People would say "I wonder where she's from? Maybe Mars?"

Stevie: "I'm a rock'n'roll singer! I'm NOT a model, I'm NOT an actress. I would never, ever, ever, EVER, EVER be able to model for Vogue...However (laughing)"

Interviewer: "Why not?"

Stevie: "Because I'm only 5 ft 1 inches tall! And because you know what? I don't care about being pretty that much. What I wanna do is, I wanna sing to you!"

Talking about when Fleetwood Mac would performe in the Bill Clinton inauguration 1993.

"We we're not going to miss performing for the president of United States, so pack up your tranquilizers we're going to Washington DC!"

I keep thinking that one of these days somebody's just gonna grab and hold in my skirt and pull me right off the stage and nobody ever does that, Nobody ever, ever, EVER tries to hurt me. And I think they know, first of all, that I'm a whole lot tougher that they think and that the platform boots that I wear would not be comfortable in their face and the tambourine that I'm usually carrying would not be comfortable around their neck. So they have a respect for my ability to fight for myself"

"Mick made a call on new years eve and the next day we met them and the next day we had dinner and the next day we went into rehersal and rehears for three wes and the next day we were in rehersal for recording the album and two weeks later we were recording and six months later we were famous"

Interviewer: "What do you think about Mick's book?"

Stevie: "I didn't read it...I lived it...I was there...If I read it, I would go through with a BIG read marking pensil, like a teacher, which is what I was trying to be, and I would be putting question marks (laughing and does a question mark in the air) and scratching out things and putting big LIE (writes a big lie in the air) and you know, circleing things "Could've been written better". It's like, that's the way I am when it comes to writing."

So, you're next, what's your favourites??? :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[JohnL]

I like the one that Livia has as her signature about seeing Stevie in a wheelchair in Haight Ashbury flying by with feathers or something like that...Sorry, dont know the exact quote.

I remember all of those incredibly amusing quotes. I especially remember watching the interview containing the above quote and delighting in hearing the menacing, quiet tone of her voice when she says "I'm a whole lot tougher than they think". :laugh::xoxo: :nod: That whole quote is great.

"What a writer wants to do is put stuff out there and make people mull it over in their minds until suddenly it's something that's way more important than turning on the stereo." (The Island Ear, August 22, 1994)

"Nobody is that cute."

[Livia]

I like the one that Livia has as her signature about seeing Stevie in a wheelchair in Haight Ashbury flying by with feathers or something like that...Sorry, dont know the exact quote.

:thumbsup:

There are lots of others - but ones I use almost every day in regular conversation:

"Because they were made for my foot...they were made for ME. And that's what I love, I love people who are themselves and go right on being themselves, because you know what? In the long run, you're gonna be....with yourself."

"I never went into the studio in jeans and tennis shoes. Ever! I always dressed up and everyone would say, 'Well, look at her, she must have really thought she was going somewhere.' Because if you don't do that, then you'll become like an old shoe. And I will NEVER become an old shoe, to ANY of the men in my life."

[goldustsongbird]

"I'm only talking cuz I should really keep my mouth shut!"

"I will hand mail it to each one of you. I WILL! WE WILL! Kinda like Girl Scout cookies."

"You could be standin' in, what does that mean, you mgiht ask? It means of course, quicksand!"

"Off to my... whatever side that is... "
(US Festival, 1983)

"Tooooommmmmm, why are you micing the red dozen roses? They're all lit up and it's REALLY neat!", or whatever that quote is. Someone, audio, please. :laugh:

Well. It's not THAT FUNNY IS IT?!" (Stevie when the power went out during the Tusk rehearsal)

"Nobody even... knows what I'm talking about..."

"I can't stop; I can't go, "wait a minute, gotta find my contact lens!'"

[Lala]

"Tooooommmmmm, why are you micing the red dozen roses? They're all lit up and it's REALLY neat!", or whatever that quote is. Someone, audio, please. :laugh:

The best part is...

"Tommmmm...I know you're on the moon, but...."

My other favourites...

From Rolling Stone in 1980

In an hour or so, things are edgy again. New material isn't working out. Serious drinking is under way. Stevie Nicks comes over during a short break.

"That song!" She is talking about "Go Your Own Way," Buckingham's song.

"The harmony part is too high and I have to hurt and strain every time I sing it." She is upset, a little tipsy. She leans forward and whispers something to me in a voice that seems to silly to be serious.

"Now, I want you to know-that line about 'shacking up'? I never shacked up with anybody when I was with him! People will hear the song and think that! I was the one who broke up with him."

She smiles conspiratorially.

"All he wanted to do was fall asleep with that guitar."

And these two aren't really funny, but they always tug at my heart strings, much like her lyrics...

From Mick's Book...so take it with a grain of salt perhaps :shrug: but apparently it's actually from a BBC interview?

"I gave Lindsey up...he's a thing of my past. I hope he finds what he's searching for, and I hope he's happy, and I wish him well. And there's nothing left to say."

And this, much more full-circle quote from Mojo in 2003

“Now I just adore him,” says Nicks, with ravishing candour. “He is my love. My first love and my love for all time. But we can’t ever be together. He has a lovely wife, Kristen, who I really like, and they are expecting their third child. The way he is with his children just knocks me out. I look at him now and just go, Oh, Stevie, you made a mistake!”

She leans forward. “But when we go on-stage together we are able to experience our love affair again - and again and again! For two and a half hours, four times a week...There isn’t really anybody in my life - it wouldn’t be good for me now anyway, I’m always away. But when hard times come over the next 20 or 30 years, when people we love die, he’ll be the first person I’ll call. Knowing that now, I think he has been able to let go of all the nasty things that happened and realise that, like I said to him, Lindsey, you’ll always have me. I’m always a phone call away. So you get it all.”

Apparently I'm just a big un-shipper...don't think they're still together or anything, but I'm fascinated and captivated by their history and the ongoing emotion, etc, whatever...

Okay...I'm done now

[michelej1]

She's always got something to say.

I can't get the quotes right now, but some of my favorites are when she said something like big, round ball of tuskness and when she said the pale shadow of the dragon boy was always in the background.

Also, that conversations quote where she said she liked cemeteries but Lindsey really liked them always made me laugh. I just don't know what it means. I mean, some people really do like cemeteries, like historians and genealogists, but I wouldn't take Lindsey for one of those people.

[vivfox]

I have always loved cemeteries too. Michele, we probably both got our fascination for them because we were BIG fans of Dark Shadows.

[vivfox]

To Molly Meldrum in 1986:
We were so busy Molly. And nobody has time to read Billboard or Cashbox when you're on the road.

To PM Magazine in 1979:
I'm not going out on some cloud for Fleetwood Mac or anybody else. If being a rock-n-roll star means being that, then I don't wanna be a rock-n-roll star and I don't wanna be in it anymore. And that's exactly where I am. If I want to go antique shopping, I am NOT gonna have someone following me!

Actually that one makes sense to me...especially back in the day. He seemed a little dark and twisty...

[michelej1]

I have always loved cemeteries too. Michele, we probably both got our fascination for them because we were BIG fans of Dark Shadows.

Oh, I don't like cemeteries.

Regarding Dark Shadows, I actually believe that watching that at such an early age shaped what I think of as attractive. I mean, Lindsey in the Slow Dancing video: :nod:. Really, really works. If I hadn't liked Jonathan Frid, I don't know if I would feel the same.

I was doing a Michael Jackson marathon this weekend and saw the Who Is It video. Ian Buchanan (Duke Lavery) was in it. He was gorgeous to me back then and why? 'Cause he's a guy I can imagine on a misty dock, in a black cloak. Sunken cheeks, withholding eyes, haunting secret. I'm so in.

Michele

[daniellaaarisen]

I'm a total Stevie/Lindesy person, too. Such an incredible story, and we are lucky enough to see such a phenomenal glimpse of it.

[michelej1]

Or about dressing up as a witch: "I didn't want to go as a hot dog or a box of kleenex."

Ok, kleenex may not be that evocative, but I just get this image of her dressed up in a hot dog costume and it really makes me laugh. Michele

LOL!!!! :thumbsup: :D :D That one made me LMAO!!!!! Hahahaha, Stevie The Hotdog!!

[JazmenFlowers]

when talking about Lindsey scorching their burner plate or whatever it was and she said he was always playing the guitar while she's in the kitchen trying to make Hamburger Helper different.

there are so many quotes that literally make me laugh out loud. she's a hoot!

[michelej1]

Yeah, that's one of my favorite stories. She says then they had no skillet and no hamburger either.

..."I am NOT a witch, so get a life!!!"

[petep9000]

"Life goes on..."

(when giving a promo radio interview for 'Tango' talking about Betty Ford)

[Maria78]

One of my favs comes from the March 2005 interview with Jim Ladd before she went to Vegas where she says something like,

"Really, nobody wants to hear about how happy you are, people want to hear about your miserable times. ... I like my angst-ridden rock and roll miserableness, I love that! ... We're rockers, we are not nice! ... We can be blissed out when we're 75 and in Italy!"

Obviously that's not word for word what she said but I love how we get the general idea of what she's thinking even though there's like 5 different thoughts in what she's saying, she cracks me up! :lol:

Ooooh I LOVE this. I need to find the actual quote and then write it on my hand every day so I remember people do NOT, in fact, hate me for being a 90% angsty writer :)

[NicksMonsoon]

(This is kind of a quote...not from an interview or anything)

One of the things I've laughed most about recently was rewatching the Scarlett Stand Back video and listening to Stevie's commentary...that whole video is hysterical, what with the horse trying to kill her repeatedly and all :lol:...at the end when they are in the saloon and the guy is being dragged out, she says real sad like "aww, they're taking him away from me" but then says real loud "but I was already mad at him so what did I care?!!!" Just the way she says it make me LOL

[daniellaaarisen]

Regarding Christine:

"And I'm sure there were times when I'm flying around the stage in my gossamer chiffon where she had to think to herself, 'Wow, what's this? Fairy school?'"

[BellaDonna93]

..."I am NOT a witch, so get a life!!!"

I also LOVE that quote!! Here's a cool and fun photo I made with this quote in it, haha:

Sooo cute!!! Of course sweet little Stevie is NOT a witch...in Mick's book there is a caption beside a pic of Stevie that says something like.."you're the most beautiful witch I've ever seen..."

"I'm still pretty cute and I rock."

[David]

Sooo cute!!! Of course sweet little Stevie is NOT a witch...in Mick's book there is a caption beside a pic of Stevie that says something like.."you're the most beautiful witch I've ever seen..."I think she's a witch. I believe she has sold her soul to Beelzebub in exchange for earthly riches.

During the scene where Lori runs out of the house she says something like "Where is my maid? And why are all these chickens here!"

And it cracks me up every time.

Can someone refresh my memory on the "sitting alone on the bed" quote about Lindsey? What is the whole quote and where is it from? I'm trying to tell a friend about it, but my memory is shaky. Thanks!

[daniellaaarisen]

I love cemeteries too.... I've always wanted to go sit in one with my typewriter on my lap and start pounding away but I'm afraid someone will be mourning his dead aunt or something and shoot me a disgusted look.

[SisterOfTheMoon21]

And it cracks me up every time.

haha all of her comments from the CV DVD were pretty funny. I can't remember the exact quote right now, but she said something about the horse running away with her or something that makes me crack up.

Also, I love how she always inserts "you know" into her long explanations of things. She's adorable. :)

Lindsey and I and our tragic, uptight way of doing things to each other is still the same in so many ways. In many, many ways, Lindsey and I are still the same people that we were when we met at 16 and 17. There’s a part of our relationship that remains unchanged. It doesn’t matter that he’s married with kids. It doesn’t matter what my life is. When we’re together we can still be incredibly teenage. And we still write about each other a lot. We’re still great sources of inspiration for each other. When we’re 90, whoever goes first, the other one will be sitting on a bed alone. We’ll never run out of stuff to write about. 2009

Here's another one in the same vein:

"That electric crazy attraction between Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks never dies, never will die, never will go away," she said. "He's married, he's happy, he has three beautiful children that I love. You know, he's found a good, happy, calm, safe place — but who Lindsey and I are to each other will never change...It's over. It doesn't mean the great feeling isn't there, it must mean that ... you know, we're beauty and the beast. It means that the love is always there but we'll never be together, so that's even more romantic." 2009

Also could someone remind me what is the quote where Stevie says that Fall From Grace is about Lindsey? I know that it is from a recent radio interview. Thanks!

Here's the 2009 radio interview quotes about FFG:

Angry song. Probably my angriest song ever. But, it has...it's angry like 'don't jump off that cliff, don't be an idiot.' But, at the same time it's like 'because I don't want you to be hurt.'

No, that song's about Lindsey. Oh yeah. That's after the Dance. I wrote that in 1998, 1998-99 that's right after the Dance.

[So, he still knows the buttons to push.]

Oh yeah, definitely. And he tries not to push them so much now because I really don't like it and I don't want to be angry with him now. But he knows how to get to me. But, I'm only saving him in that song. [Quotes song.]

But it basically says, you know as angry as I am at you, I'm really only trying to help you. So at the end when it comes to the end it basically turns the whole thing around. Almost like he does on Never Going Back Again. when he says you know, "I"m never going back again" and blah blah blah but the he says "but come around and see me again." So Fall From Grace is kinda like that.

Stevie's also said:

I'm able to use all that information, which is great. "Fall From Grace" is really about Fleetwood Mac onstage, that's always mostly going to be about me and Lindsey, just about our energy and what a trip it is to be in Fleetwood Mac and walk up there onstage. It's just . . . it's grand, you know?

Here's another Fall From Grace mention radio interview. It's posted on nicksfix:

http://www.nicksfix.com/interview_chum_may6_2001.htm

MD: Tell us about from the new album "Trouble in Shangri-La," the song “Fall from Grace.” What’s that all about?

Stevie Nicks: “Fall from Grace,” I wrote on the Fleetwood Mac reunion tour. Because that’s a great place to write, when you’re on tour and everything’s going really well, it’s very exciting; it’s like a big date. You know, it’s like very romantic, very, and you know you’re traveling. And of course, when you’re in Fleetwood Mac it’s a very big deal, so you get the best of everything in Fleetwood Mac. When we go to my solo career, it’s a little cut down, it’s a little cut down.

MD: It’s the discount version?

Stevie Nicks: It’s a little discounted, you know. But the Fleetwood Mac thing is very big, so it’s a very fun place to write. And “Fall from Grace,” was really about um when, Lindsey and Mick and I go up on stage, and how, just how intense it is, you know. And how we do kinda feel like, you know, Queen Elisabeth, Prince Phillip, and Queen Edward, King Edward; oh man, he’s gonna kill me for Queen Edward. Um, it’s such a powerful thing, and when you get up there it’s just so magical and so strong. And so, somehow the poem for “Fall from Grace,” just came outta that.

I was doing a Michael Jackson marathon this weekend and saw the Who Is It video. Ian Buchanan (Duke Lavery) was in it. He was gorgeous to me back then and why? 'Cause he's a guy I can imagine on a misty dock, in a black cloak. Sunken cheeks, withholding eyes, haunting secret. I'm so in.

Ian played a vampire in a Quantum Leap episode, so that would fit. LOL

She wasn't being serious. She was being funny.
Her dogs are very pampered pooches.

[Ghost_Tracker]

Stevie had an awesome quote about writing once that I thought was very insightful.
It's still available on Nicksfix in the "Articles and Interviews" section, I believe, as an audio clip. Unfortunately I don't currently have the software to be able to listen to it, but here's the best I can come to an exact quote of it - please remember I'm just "paraphrasing," though - -

"...and I SWEAR sometimes it just feels like these words are just coming THROUGH ME . . . from SOMEBODY ELSE or some spirit CHANNEL or something. Because I'm just WRITING - - - as FAST as I can, DOOT-DOOT-DOOT (*makes scribbling noises like she's writing really fast*) and I - - - You know, I don't make an 'appointment' to write. You have to write when it COMES, not when you plan to. People tell me, 'OH, we've made an appointment to write, we're going to meet at three o'clock and write, we're going to write for three hours today' and it's like I'm going 'Are you INSANE!?' Because I cannot even . . . understand that!"

Pretty good advice, i.m.o. :nod:

She wasn't being serious. She was being funny.
Her dogs are very pampered pooches.

Stevie believes in reincarnation; or at least she's made remarks in the past indicating that she did, at that point in time.
I think maybe she was saying, "in between her lines," that "what goes around comes around." In other words, she's nice
to her pooches 'cause if she wasn't, maybe it could come back to her some day - - - in one form or another.
Plus (i.m.o.) like you said, she was just being funny and cute and Stevie-ish.

From Fox & Friends 4-5-09:

Clayton Morris: "You guys are in Guitar Hero"

Stevie: "You who guys?"

[daniellaaarisen]

Stevie had an awesome quote about writing once that I thought was very insightful.
It's still available on Nicksfix in the "Articles and Interviews" section, I believe, as an audio clip. Unfortunately I don't currently have the software to be able to listen to it, but here's the best I can come to an exact quote of it - please remember I'm just "paraphrasing," though - -

"...and I SWEAR sometimes it just feels like these words are just coming THROUGH ME . . . from SOMEBODY ELSE or some spirit CHANNEL or something. Because I'm just WRITING - - - as FAST as I can, DOOT-DOOT-DOOT (*makes scribbling noises like she's writing really fast*) and I - - - You know, I don't make an 'appointment' to write. You have to write when it COMES, not when you plan to. People tell me, 'OH, we've made an appointment to write, we're going to meet at three o'clock and write, we're going to write for three hours today' and it's like I'm going 'Are you INSANE!?' Because I cannot even . . . understand that!"

Pretty good advice, i.m.o. :nod:

I would LOVE to get my hands on the actual direct quote. I respect Stevie even more as a writer than as a singer, so this is something that would really intrigue me.

She does have a point with wearing black clothes. I love wearing white, but hell, it does make me look fatter than I already am. Maybe I shouldn't get married then.....not until I loose it. LOL!:]

(about Buckingham Nicks):

Mark/Brian: "A record that you guys released years ago that has been rediscovered by a lot of Fleetwood Mac fans, which I think is the record that Mick heard and invited you guys to join the band... which was Buckingham Nicks. I recently had a friend burn that for me but I've not seen that in a store, is that available?"

Lindsey: "No, it's not. We haven't been able to sort of get the timing, I guess, would you say?"

Stevie: "No. But we could make you a cassette! [Lindsey laughs] I never went to the burning of cd's, I don't have cd's, I just have cassettes."

Mark/Brian: "So you're the reason they still have cassette players in cars?"

Stevie: "That is so true." [everybody laughs] - 2003 Mark & Brian

The title of this song (Lindsey tuning guitar to play) is “Never Going Back Again” – You Lie!” - 1997 (introducing Lindsey doing NGBA on Mark & Brian)

"And, by the way, I was totally on tranquilizers..." - 2007

I don't have the quote right now, but I liked it during the SYW tour when Stevie said that if she really was a witch, the first thing that she would change was the fact that she and Lindsey fight so much.

I'm don't think her quote/thought was that deep. What she implied -- in her own oblique way -- was that she overly pampers and loves her dog so much, that she would like to come back to that same level of pampering and love. Your thought implies that her primary incentive for caring for her dog is fear of reincarnate karmic retribution!

[daniellaaarisen]

Ohhh Stevie:

"Rhiannon I got from a book that was a book about two Welsh women, Rhiannon and Bronwyn. So I named an afgan Bronwyn and wrote a song called Rhiannon."

But I remember when Stevie talked about running out of her house during a fire she named the things she was worried about saving and I think she included her cashmere blankets. So, if she loves them that much, they might actually have names.

And...in the BN era, when she wrote Rhiannon, did they even have a dog? They could barely afford to feed themselves at the time, no?

I'm not so sure I'm wrong anymore...can anyone confirm if the afgan is a dog or a blanket?

Right. If they couldn't feed themselves what are they doing with a dog. But we know they had at least that one named Jenny (or something) from the Aspen argument.

[FMlex]

I'm feeling rather quotes-y right now, so I'm going to try to post some that haven't already been posted. So here's just some good ol' Stevie words from over the years:

"It's hard to be a fairy princess fifty percent of the time and just be a nice lady the other half. But I like my real self better. I don't walk around the house in dripping chiffon."

"When it comes right down to it, would I really want to give up all those years of singing? Would I just have been not that great a mom and not that great a singer because I tried to do both?"
-On not having children

"I didn't want to be just this chiffon girl. I need to really, really write for them and need them to know it. From that point, I set upon developing an intimate relationship with the kids who listen. With every song I write, I really try to express a situation. I want people to know if I can get through something, anybody can. I try never to leave them with a depressing feeling."
-On her audiences

"My very best friend Robin called me and told me she had terminal leukemia and that they thought that maybe she might last three months. So without a doubt, it was the absolute high and low of success. I never got to enjoy Bella Donna at all because my friend was dying. Something went out that day, something left."
(From BTM)

And probably my all-time favorite...
"I think if you are really into words and poetry and situations of life, there is always a little kiss of sadness on everything you do... It's just the kind of person who I am. I always look carefully beneath the outward appearance of things. I want to know what's really going on in somebody's heart."

Nah I didn't really mean it in that way. I was thinking more along the lines that it was a general "Stevie-ism" - as in she was thinking, "LET'S see how can I work re-incarnation into this just for kicks and giggles? :D " :p

ahahahaha...that really made me LOL

Okay, so this isn't really a quote quote...like the others posted...but it isn't really worthy of its own thread and seeing as its 2 am right now and I'm feeling somewhat easily amused, I thought I would put it here...anyway, Stevie did say it and it does put a smile on my face every single time I hear it:

in the CV commentary when Stevie is talking about Every Day she says at one point "men in trees, men in trees!" Now, for a while I couldn't figure out why this struck me as funny...there was just something so familiar about it. I had decided it must just be the funny way in which she says it and so on. Then it hit me...Men In Trees was the name of that show Anne Heche did. I'm sure it was just a coincidence and is totally meaningless but every time I hear Stevie say that part, the way she says it makes it sound like a little dig at one of Lindsey's former lovers :D

[michelej1]

Here's what Stevie said in 1989. I understood why she took the dogs, her tapes and her writings, but I'm not sure about the blanket. Still, if there's really a fire and you're stranded outside, you're going to need something to keep you warm. BTW, if the house really had been on fire, she'd have been dead a long time ago, while she ran around the bathroom 15 times trying to decide. The smoke would have gotten her, long before the flames made their way upstairs.

She was talking about Fire Burning:

"The original inspiration for this was when I lived in a house on Doheny and my garage caught fire because somebody else's house caught fire down the street and a cinder hit my garage. And I woke up because I heard all this noise. And I looked out my front window and there's, like, 50 firemen running up my driveway and I thought, well, 'what is this for?'

And I ran around to all the windows and finally I got to the back of the house. And I looked out and the entire garage was, like, 50 feet of burning flames. And I ran around to the bathroom about fifteen different times, saying 'what can I take? What should I take?'

So what I took was the dog, the blanket, all my writings and tapes, my jewelry. And I thought, you know, the stairs may be on fire. But she'll get down, she said. I'll get out, I'm not burning up in this house. So that's where the whole beginning and idea of this song came from, was 'what can I take and still survive the fire' or how much time can I spend to decide and not be burned up on the second story?

It's frightening, to see flames that high and know that at any point those flames could hit your house and I didn't know whether the bottom story was on fire already or not. But it was very hard for me because I thought, 'what do I take out of this room?' I did! I ran around in circles three times, four times, five times, and I said, 'I'll take the dog, cashmere blanket, all my tapes, and my writing.' Everything else can be, doesn't matter, material things, at this point, don't matter."

One of my favorites is during the Austin, TX show during Wild Heart tour someone throws her a Snoopy stuffed animal during Dreams and she's like thank you for Snoopy I'll put him right here in an honored spot - he's being a rock star. She mentions him several times during the show - so wish there was video.

I always laugh when she says she never talks during her shows - let's send her some bootlegs of the 80's and show her how much she rambled.
