Stevie on KLOS 95.5 right now.

[Gypsybecca]

Just turned the radio on and heard Secret Love playing for the first time, and she is being interviewed by Jim Ladd.

[WildHearted]

Just turned the radio on and heard Secret Love playing for the first time, and she is being interviewed by Jim Ladd.

Is it a new interview?

It's 1:30 in the morning here... guess it's not quite so late on the West coast, but dang.

[Gypsybecca]

Yes, it's live, and she just called Aboeba Records the 'last record store' and she thinks the signing is 'going to be a riot, a good riot.'

I listen to this radio station everyday and no mention that she was going to be interviewed tonight, so Iguess I missed the first 20 minutes, and I have no way of recording this right now!

[WildHearted]

Listening to it now :) Thanks for letting everyone know!

She keeps singing, and she sounds great.

[aleuzzi]

I like this post. It's not a poll for a least favorite song!

[LilyRose]

Link to listen online. They're playing FWIW right now.

Thanks for posting the link...wasn't smart/awake enough to do so!

Doesn't Stevie's voice sound so different? Have a feeling she's been smoking.....no!

[LilyRose]

It does sound kind of husky, but I don't think she'd go back to smoking. Maybe because it's getting late? That happens to me. :shrug:

I absolutely adore Jim Ladd. He gets some of the best interviews with her. <333

I agree, and I love Jim Ladd too! I love how he always seems to throw Stevie's songs into his theme nights...if it's a color theme, then he plays Gold Dust Woman, if it's a number theme, the Edge of 17.

[WildHearted]

Thanks for posting the link...wasn't smart/awake enough to do so!

She sounds kind of young. And she's being really softspoken.

[GoldDustWoman22]

Thanks for the heads up!!

Just for the record I would love to read "40 pages of airy fairy poetry form Stevie Nicks" :lol:

Is it just me or has she been more self-deprecating lately??

And yay their playing "Wide Sargasso Sea"!!!!

[LilyRose]

Right?! And then I would need to sit down with her and have her tell me all about them. HA!

I love that he's playing these tracks. I'm falling in love with the album all over again.

[Gypsybecca]

More great Stevie quotes!

About Wide Sargasso Sea- " It's like I wrote this book."

And, "She's white, but she's really black."

wth?

Lol. I think she meant that she dances like a black girl, but the way she said it.. :lol:

[LilyRose]

Poor Lori. I wonder how many times she had to go to Phoenix to get forgotten sh*t. :lol:

[RockALittle250]

They're playing Annabel Lee right now.

[Gypsybecca]

Yes, poor Lori! How old is Al that she has to pick him up. :confused:

Stevie's less than sober right now, and I love her even more. ;)

[GoldDustWoman22]

She. sounds. so young!!!!
There she goes again about Lindsey taking melody and lyric pills again :rolleyes: Truth be told though I am extremely excited for BOTH of them about their music right now:thumbsup:
And poor, poor Lori having to go to Phoenix every few minutes:laugh:

That kills me about the Lindsey melody and lyric pills. I just decided that if I meet her at Amoeba, I will hand her a prescription pill bottle labeled, LINDSEY'S MELODY PILLS, and tell her to take 2 with her brandy. Do you think she would laugh?
:xoxo:

[Macfanforever]

Thanks I'm recording now.did anybody catch it from the begining.

[nevedix20]

thats great if you have it recorded.Cant listen in Canada :-(

[LilyRose]

What was Jim alluding to there? "Miss Ghost"?

Now I'm even more intrigued by Ghosts Are Gone.

[Gypsybecca]

She just said she's been up for 24 hours...Why Stevie?

Please don't push yourself so hard that you get sick again.

[WildHearted]

What was Jim alluding to there? "Miss Ghost"?

Now I'm even more intrigued by Ghosts Are Gone.

"Miss Ghost" is a song by Don Henely, so I guess for some reason he thought it was about him.

I wish Stevie would have continued on the subject of the shared lyric with Angel (and, for that matter, Sweet Girl). Would love to hear what she has to say about the connection between them.

She sounds so tired now.

[bombaysaffires]

More great Stevie quotes!

About Wide Sargasso Sea- " It's like I wrote this book."

wth?

In the book the character "passes" as a white woman, but she's really a black woman.

Ah, okay. Thank you.

And I agree, I wish she would have gone on about the connection.

[LilyRose]

Now Lindsey is her "dear, sweet friend".

What happened to "we're not friends"? :lol:

Oh, Stevie.

[WildHearted]

"My dear sweet friend Lindsey..."

She's back to adoring him again, if that wasn't already obvious.

She just said that they wanted Lindsey to play Sturgis with her but he couldn't get out of a prior commitment so Waddy is filling in.

[Macfanforever]

Hum. Why she was up for 24hours.

[Gypsybecca]

Also, if you want to help soldiers, donate to the USO. She has a charity but doesn't understand it, so don't send her money, send it to the USO.

Instead of just saying the above info., she had to throw in how it's not like when she and Lindsey joined FMac and they just handed them $200 a week. Then she said there are tax consequences. ilove how she personalized the most serious things and throws in a Lindsey story.

[Gypsybecca]

Now Karen' s in the mix?
:]

Ok, she explained where the Woodruff charity money goes.

[MrStevie]

"My dear sweet friend Lindsey..."

She's back to adoring him again, if that wasn't already obvious.

She just said that they wanted Lindsey to play Sturgis with her but he couldn't get out of a prior commitment so Waddy is filling in.

Waddy is great but LB will be sorely missed. Stevie says she was specifically invited to Sturgis to do "Soldiers Angel." I never liked the song until I saw it live at the Wiltern. Without LB I don't get it. He got through to me with his playing and reverent harmonizing. It just won't be the same...but I'm not knocking Wad.

[WildHearted]

Lol @ Stevie sounding out February. "FEB-U-AR-Y"


"Well, inspired by Dave, who was probably inspired by Annie, which then inspired me to be inspired by Lindsey." :lol:

[LilyRose]

I think Stevie should be running off no sleep for every interview she does from here on out. :lol:

[UnwindedDreams]

o boy. not sure how that will go over without lindsey. maybe they can play lindsey's recorded vocals to go along with hers. i guess soldier's angel will be one of the seven IYD songs in the set.

[WildHearted]

I think Stevie should be running off no sleep for every interview she does from here on out. :lol:

Me too. This is golden. It helps that she and Jim go so far back.

"How very 80's of you."
"I know!"

[MrStevie]

I think Stevie should be running off no sleep for every interview she does from here on out. :lol:

:thumbsup: :D

[Gypsybecca]

She calls the Beatles A Day In The Life- "The Beatles car crash song."

[WildHearted]

Sending Lori back to Phoenix is becoming a running joke. :lol:

[LilyRose]

I'm in love with her. The end.

[UnwindedDreams]

this is so funny. LORI!!!

[WildHearted]

I hope she talks about the inspiration for YMBTO, since they'r eon the subject.

ETA: I don't know if I"m finding this so amusing because it's 3:15 am, or if it really is that awesome of an interview :lol:

I was just thinking the same, but I think this is the BEST interview of the year!

I wish Jim would let her dish a lil more...she said, "I'll tell you" and he cut her off, when they were talking about Ghosts are Gone. Shes in a mood to talk, didn't he try to cut the interview at the top of the hour and she said she goes to bed at 4am, and here she is....still talking!

[WildHearted]

Yeah, he did! I guess she was only scheduled for a certain amount of time but she was like, I don't have to go haha. Then they laughed about when they used to do the interviews at his house.

[Gypsybecca]

BINGO! it only took her 2:23 hours to say, Lindsey and I were just about married.

what do i win?? :woohoo: :wavey:


Now the private planes and limos, and presidential suites lines.

[WildHearted]

They're taking calls. I think you have to be in the area though.

HOLY COW. You were spot on. She jsut mentioned private planes AND presidential suites.

[Gypsybecca]

She let her license go in 1978 because: We were all high and i didn't want to get in an accident and lose my fortune.
:lol:

[LilyRose]

She let her license go in 1978 because: We were all high and i didn't want to get in an accident and lose my fortune.
:lol:

Smart, really. HAHA!

[Gypsybecca]

Did she just refer to herself as THE GRANDMOTHER to the likes of Lady Gaga!?!?!

That's a first, no?

A second wind?? she said she's having a second wind....I'm not gonna touch that one... lol

[RockALittle250]

This is the best interview ever! Sounds like Stevie had a whole box of wine throughout the damn thing and I love it!

And Stevie's opinion of Lady Gaga is not as complimentary as I thought it would be...VERY interesting.

[LilyRose]

If she never mentions "internet piracy" again I'd be perfectly fine with that.

[WildHearted]

ia about the internet piracy. even if she just used another phrase like 'illegal downloading', that would be a bit better with me haha.

They are too funny.

Stevie: "I'm having a second wind now."
Jim: "Are you? I'm gonna go pee."

hahahaha

[LilyRose]

Did she just refer to herself as THE GRANDMOTHER to the likes of Lady Gaga!?!?!

That's a first, no?

A second wind?? she said she's having a second wind....I'm not gonna touch that one... lol

LOL I think it's in reference to all the youngsters in music today. Maybe "grandmother" was the wrong word, but she is very nurturing, accepting and respectful of these singers.

[UnwindedDreams]

i wanted to call and ask what songs she's performing and request italian summer but you have to be in the area.

[RockALittle250]

ia about the internet piracy. even if she just used another phrase like 'illegal downloading', that would be a bit better with me haha.

They REALLY need to co-host a show together. Their dynamic has always been fascinating.

[Allycattt]

Does someone want me to call in and ask something? I live in the area.. l. I'm sitting in my car listening at this very moment(:

[LilyRose]

They REALLY need to co-host a show together. Their dynamic has always been fascinating.

Agreed! Just two friends chatting about life and music. DO WANT.

[WildHearted]

Does someone want me to call in and ask something? I live in the area.. l. I'm sitting in my car listening at this very moment(:

Yes! Call in.

I can't think of anything super interesting to ask her (Where's that "If you could ask Stevie Nicks 1 question " thread when you need it?) so I'd probably just ask what song she was most excited to perform on the tour.

[sparky]

Man I hope someone taped most of this. I got on the train almost 90 minutes in and am sure I missed a bunch of great stuff. I have heard from Ghosts onward and am listening to the bitter end. He is the best interviewer of Stevie hands down. He just lets her go on and on and on. And let's face it, that is when she is at her best. Babbling and then laughing her butt off.

2 and a half hours and still going....

[Macfanforever]

Great interview.did anybody get to record it from the top.

[Gypsybecca]

If someone could sell me this interview on a cd, I would seriously listen to it more than In Your Deams!

Just don't label it, Drunk Grandma who won't stop talking!

just kidding, people! :wavey:

[Allycattt]

Whats the number?!! Hurry!!! I'll ask anything!!

[WildHearted]

1 800 955 5567

[UnwindedDreams]

let's get Ledgies calling her!!!

[WildHearted]

"I loved Wicked.... of course I would love Wicked."

I love her. Please adopt me, Stevie.

[Allycattt]

Omg. I'm freaking out. Idk what to say!!

[WildHearted]

Omg. I'm freaking out. Idk what to say!!

Ask her about the "ghost through the fog" line that runs through Angel, Sweet Girl, and Ghosts Are Gone. If there's a connection between them or if that is the only connection. She seemed to want to talk about it earlier but didn't get the chance to.

They're playing SOTM :D

[Gypsybecca]

Is she staying on until 4am??

I have to be at work at 5am. This is sooo worth missing sleep over, though.

[UnwindedDreams]

nice. sisters of the moon. i remember jim saying she should play this song during her dreams stint in vegas 2005.

[MrStevie]

Never have a battle of metaphorsnwith Stevie Nicks she's going to win all the time....I love you Jim!

that's perfect!

The queen of mixed metaphors and malapropisms. :lol:

[Gypsybecca]

The queen of mixed metaphors and malapropisms. :lol:


yes!!! Now he says she is happier than she was in the time of Storms.

[Gypsybecca]

It only took her 2:53 minutes to mention her little friend Vanessa.

[Gypsybecca]

Now Lori Nicks is on?!?!?

this is too Rad!

[WildHearted]

Lori called in. Hahaha.

Hahahahaha.

"I learned some new things about you tonight, Stevie. We'll have to talk about that later."

hahahahahaha

[LilyRose]

Now Lori Nicks is on?!?!?

this is too Rad!

This is too funny!!!

[WildHearted]

YESSS the Highwayman. This can't get any better.

[LilyRose]

I want Stevie and Jim to adopt me.

[WildHearted]

I want Stevie and Jim to adopt me.

Looks like we're gonna be adoptive siblings, then.

:laugh:

[Gypsybecca]

Looks like we're gonna be adoptive siblings, then.

:laugh:

Can the two of you siblings ask your Aunt Loretta how long Stevie is going to be on this show? lol.

Mark and Brian's show begins at 5a, she shouldnjust stay.....

[LilyRose]

Looks like we're gonna be adoptive siblings, then.

:laugh:

Awesome! I'm totally down with that.

[WildHearted]

Stevie's staying for the whole show. Another hour to go :)

And now onto Moonlight.

[UnwindedDreams]

moonlight :thumbsup:

[Gypsybecca]

So Karen's crashed out on the couch holding Sulamith?

Who would be there besides Karen? He said the people you brought are crashed out.

[LilyRose]

So Karen's crashed out on the couch holding Sulamith?

Who would be there besides Karen? He said the people you brought are crashed out.

LOL! I guess...because Lori is in Phoenix.

[WildHearted]

So Karen's crashed out on the couch holding Sulamith?

Who would be there besides Karen? He said the people you brought are crashed out.

Well, we know it isn't Lori. She got sent to Phoenix. :lol:

[Gypsybecca]

Karen.get....me....the...camera...I...am...ready...to..make...a.....record.

Stevie....I....love...you....

[WildHearted]

"They can go like... jump off a lake."


i was on the floor. she needs to do all of her interviews at 1 am

And now, she's contemplating what she and Lindsey would have done to get famous if they were 22 today. Jim suggested that they would make her put on a crazy outfit and dance around.. "I can't be choreographed.. I'm a free dancer. And that would infuriate Mr. Buckingham."

[Gypsybecca]

The interNAT.

[MrStevie]

"We have our money invested." :]

[WildHearted]

"We have our money invested." :]

What was she talking about there? I think I zoned out for a second (it's way past my bed time, being 4:30 am, but I refuse to go to sleep).

Aaand After The Glitter Fades. Jim Ladd has superb taste in Stevie songs, I must say.

[Gypsybecca]

Ok, 32 minutes left and she hasn't mentioned Christine, being a cleaning lady, Glee, and what else?

[GoldDustWoman22]

This is officially my favorite interview with Stevie ever!!! I am laughing feeling introspective and I feel as though were having a conversation:)!!! 5:00 am and going strong!! I love how she laughs randomly at the end of saying something really insightful :lol:! I. love. this. woman.

I love how she was singing along to "After the Glitter Fades" so sweet!!

[LilyRose]

I would like a Jim Ladd/Stevie Nicks hour at least once a week. And by "hour" I mean this 4 hours of greatness we're getting right now.

[WildHearted]

Ok, 32 minutes left and she hasn't mentioned Christine, being a cleaning lady, Glee, and what else?

Unless she talked about it in the beginning.. I don't think she's talked about Klonopin or anything like that.

[Gypsybecca]

This has to be one of the best she's done, and certainly one of the longest...well in the studio..sometimes Jim intros one of her songs and says how he has been to her house..all alone with her and the ladies, and what stories He has. But he is too much of a gentleman to share the stories.

Damn him, jk!

[equeen102289]

Please tell me someone taped this. Please.

[WildHearted]

Why does she like Cheaper Than Free so much tho..

[Gypsybecca]

Cheaper than free WAS going to be a cheeseball, goofy song??

Stevie, baby.

[WildHearted]

"It doesn't look like it's gonna be as corny as I thought."

Nope, still corny.

She just said Cheaper Than Free could be about her and Sulamith. I'm dying. I love you, Stevie.

[Allycattt]

I've been on hold for like, EVER. I'm trying though!!

[GoldDustWoman22]

She mentioned her technology defficiency again:rolleyes:...."I emailed him. No I didn't email him I don't even have a computer" :lol:

[Gypsybecca]

The love between me and my Chinese crested Yorkie Sulamith....I want to laugh at that, but it's adorable....awwwwww...

I need sleep...how are you East Coasters feeling right now?

[WildHearted]

The love between me and my Chinese crested Yorkie Sulamith....I want to laugh at that, but it's adorable....awwwwww...

I need sleep...how are you East Coasters feeling right now?

I would be feeling alot worse if this wasn't such a great interview. Plus, I was gonna wake up at 5 am anyway for Pottermore.. but now it looks like I won't have to, so I guess that's a plus :lol:

I'm exhausted. This is too fun though.

[Gypsybecca]

She mentioned her technology defficiency again:rolleyes:...."I emailed him. No I didn't email him I don't even have a computer" :lol:


THE BEST EVER!!!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :D

[MrStevie]

She mentioned her technology defficiency again:rolleyes:...."I emailed him. No I didn't email him I don't even have a computer" :lol:

She caught herself and tried the quick reverse. :laugh:

I didn't know Dave has two daughters 7 and 10.

[Allycattt]

*@?@%$?#*@%#*#&@¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn. They just told me theyre done with calls )': I'm so sorry guys. I let you down! I was even going to give ya'll a shout out )'''':

[WildHearted]

Don't worry about it! It's no big deal.

She's talking about taking the Wiltern set on the road, again. :D

"Some people would say I am taking a risk and guess what, I don't care? Because I love these songs and I'm damn well going to play them."

[Gypsybecca]

The lady that will always be there in the twilight, in the mist, in your dreams...thanks Jim!

[WildHearted]

The lady that will always be there in the twilight, in the mist, in your dreams...thanks Jim!

Love that last line.

What an awesome interview.

I hope the entire thing will be available for re-listening or download - I believe there was some that we all missed in the beginning.

[LilyRose]

Well that was just good sh*t. I hope someone got all this recorded.

"Stevie Nicks, someone that will always be there, in the twilight, in the mist. Just as your head is hitting the pillow...In your dreams."

Thank you Jim and Stevie. Goodnight!

[GoldDustWoman22]

That was an awesome interview!!! Thank you so much Jim and Stevie for giving me awesome conversation and making me feel like I was there with you :xoxo:!!
5:00 a.m and still going strong!! I swear Stevie has her own form of adrenaline!!

Well, it's actually only 2 am where she's at. But still. I agree.

She just answered our question. It was Karen and her makeup artist Ilene or something.

[Moz]

Oh my god. I tried to listen to this online shortly after it started and it wouldn't let me because I don't live in the States. I hope somebody recorded this. :(

[Gypsybecca]

I'm picturing Stevie going into the green room and waking Karen and the other girl up..hey! I was brilliant for 4 hours and you chicks just slept through it all! Even Lori got off her ass and called in! lol...

[-Lillith-]

Please someone tell me u recorded it. I missed it.

I wanna hear it too :blob1:

[UnwindedDreams]

she said she sang 7 new songs at the Wiltern but she sang 8.

[WildHearted]

she said she sang 7 new songs at the Wiltern but she sang 8.


She sang Secret Love before that so she probably wasn't counting it as new, in her mind. Hence the mistake.

[UnwindedDreams]

so maybe we're getting cheaper than free without dave...?

[Macfanforever]

God I love Stevie - and I really hope that this full interview turns up online somewhere

[Amlyn]

OMG...I just woke up here on the right coast INSANELY jealous of missing what sounds like the interview of the decade! Figures the one night i don't have insomnia and wake up every hour. :]

So glad so many of you got to experience that as it unfolded. I hope and pray that we'll get that recorded sometime in like oh the next few hours.

Thank you! :wavey:

[JamieK]

Thanks Macmanforever!

This is a great interview -- happiest to know she'll be singing the new songs :]

[Gypsybecca]

So no one recorded the beginning of the show? Funny thing was, I was supposed to have been sleeping, but couldn't so I hit the sleep button on my clock radio which is always tuned to KLOS because I love Jim Ladd and he plays Stevie songs so often. You can imagine my surprise when I heard her voice! But it was about 20 minutes into the interview.

I have sent some messages to people I think may have heard the show. If any of them did and recorded, I will post it.

And yes, I called out sick because I was up all night posting and laughing! :nod: :shrug: :angel:

[SapphireSister]

OMG I could like totally kill myself for not listening to this live and calling in. I didn't know about it, how depressing! Oh well thanks for your comments everyone, wish I could have been there and I so would have been. Will listen to the recording with Danni tonight but it's just not the same as being live. Oh well, who am I to complain when I'm meeting her tomorrow night? :blob1: :blob2:

[michelej1]

She. sounds. so young!!!!
There she goes again about Lindsey taking melody and lyric pills again :rolleyes: Truth be told though I am extremely excited for BOTH of them about their music right now:thumbsup:
And poor, poor Lori having to go to Phoenix every few minutes:laugh:

Lindsey needed melody pills too? C'mon! I thought she conceded years ago that he could write music and she would ballet to his instrumentals.

[Moz]

Thanks for recording, Macmanforever! :xoxo:

[WildHearted]

I have to reiterate again, how awesome this interview was. And how fun it was to listen to live, despite living on the east coast and being completely sleep deprived throughout :lol:

Thanks for the download, MacFanForever! Gonna re-listen to it now, see what I missed / forgot in my exhaustion last night. :)

[Amlyn]

Thanks Sooo much! I"m sitting at the airport listenting to this and i think i'll be listening most of my flight today.

Well..as i'm typing this they just threw on the ATC delay so i guess i'll be listening to more of this before my flight.

Jim Ladd really does such wonderful interviews with her.

[Macfanforever]

No Problem.I love to help us fans here in the states. Also those of you across the pond that cant connect to the streaming also in Canada.Wow as of 2pm EST. 101 downloads.Not bad.The link will be good for about two weeks.I wished KLOS gave us a early notice that she was coming in for the interview.As Uncle Joe works at KLOS I hope Jim has a chat to him about last nights interview and have the Unc do another Off The Record with Stevie.

Have a nice trip.I agree .I think Jim is the best interviewer,,.Also Stevie feels comfortable with him all these years.This was a surprise .I was thinking the interview was going to be short.We were lucky Stevie with no sleep in 24 hours wanted to stay and chat with Jim.She's a trooper.I'm proud of her.

She's awesome. She stayed 2 hours later than she was scheduled to. :laugh:

[Macfanforever]

She's awesome. She stayed 2 hours later than she was scheduled to. :laugh:

Yes she did.I love her .I hope she is sleeping today as we chat here.She has to get ready for the cd signing tomorrow night.I got up around 10:30 myself.I'm probably running on 3 hours sleep myself.If I had to go to work taday.No a sick day for me.But that will start in september.

[LilyRose]

She's awesome. She stayed 2 hours later than she was scheduled to. :laugh:

This is really the way to interview Stevie. Set aside a good 4 to 6 hour window, late, late at night so she can talk as much as she wants. No one was in a rush, she didn't have to go do another interview. It was great!

I just kept thinking wow, this is really not going to end. Ever. And I couldn't be happier. :lol:

I stayed up till about 5:30 and even then was not ready to go to sleep because this interview was SO FANTASTIC!!! And I woke up 4 hours later by choice and right now am still so excited that I got to hear it...thanks again for the heads up:)

Also MacFanForever you are awesome!! Thanks so so much for the download link!!:wavey:

She begins with talking about the conception and the making of the record.

[WildHearted]

Jim: "How are your buddies in Fleetwod Mac doing?"

Stevie: "They're good. Lindsey's finished a record that is, I think, amazing. I think it's the best thing that he's ever done. And it's so interesting because last November when he came up to work on 'Soldier's Angel '- which is the last thing that we really did - we played him my record, and he played the Dave and Stevie world and Glen Ballard his record. So we listened to both records in a row. At the end, Lindsey was sitting on one side of me, I was in the middle and Glen was here, and Dave was walking around with his guitar around his neck. And Glen just jumped up and said, "Oh my god, you guys are on fire! You have both made an amazing record in the same year!" Of course, I'm going like "Please god, let me love this record." Because I'm sitting here next to Lindsey, he knows me so well.. if I don't love this record, I'm gonna go like "Well, I..." you know? And I swear to god I think that Lindsey like swallowed some melody pills and some lyrical pills, because all of a sudden along with his amazing bombastic guitar that he plays are these really beautiful words and beautiful melodies. I'm so very proud of him. So the Fleetwood Mac gang is fine. John's in Honolulu, Micks' in Maui . Lindsey here, getting ready to release this record and working on it. So you know, it's good. "

[ontheEdgeof17]

...She finally discusses Secret Love and playing it for the inclusion on Bella Donna album. Still denies who it is about.

Tee to the Hee. I told you it was a stupid question. Gracias!

She knows who it's about. She just doesn't want us (or someone she knows) to know.

She still talks about it after they play the song that she really doesn't know...."Of all the songs on this record, that truly is the song I don't know much about."

"It will go down in history as the most mysterious song I have ever written."

[ontheEdgeof17]

I love how she talks about saving the Record Store and then talks about listen to Mike C's instrumentral tracks on her ipod a few sentences later. :laugh:

[GoldDustWoman22]

Awesome Curtis... Thank you!

[Livia]

Thanks for the commentary and the links, everyone. I can't wait to listen to this. I totally agree that Jim Ladd is the best person ever to interview Stevie. Well, he and Molly Meldrum, but Jim has done sooo many, and he "gets" her, like we do.

When I was living in LA, I once called KLOS to ask if they had a recorded version of one of Jim's Westwood One Innerviews I could swing by the station and pick up. They offered to mail them me to me on vinyl - I still have them!

[WildHearted]

"[Ghosts are Gone] is about a relationship that was like, done. Over. Walked away. Never wanted to speak of it again. Like a ghost through the fog, like a silver shadow, like a golden rainbow. Gone. And even the ghosts are gone, the ghosts went with it. This was 'Don't call me. Don't talk to me. If you're walking across the street, I will absolutely cross the street to be as far away from you as I can.' Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

DAMN.

[gypsy4life]

Cant wait to hear this tonight!!!!

[WildHearted]

"Don't Come Around Here No More was originally meant for me. That song, he wrote that for me, and then it became Tom's.... and thats a whole 'nother story. That's like Narnia."

please explain, Stevie. :lol:

[Tango]

Thank you Curtis, and thank you Macfanforever. Jim Ladd is Stevie's best interviewer, and obviously a friend--I look forward to hearing it all! It's great that he gave this new album so much time on the air LIVE!

[Gypsybecca]

Curtis, thank you. I can't wait to hear what I missed last night.
:)

[michelej1]

Jim: "How are your buddies in Fleetwod Mac doing?"

Stevie: "They're good. Lindsey's finished a record that is, I think, amazing. I think it's the best thing that he's ever done.

So we listened to both records in a row.

So, he came down and recorded SA and he just happened to have a copy of his SWS album with him? Does he carry that thing around in his trunk? His back pocket?

What's his deal?

At the end, Lindsey was sitting on one side of me, I was in the middle and Glen was here

The meat in a Glen and Lindsey sandwich, eh? No one wants that:(.

So the Fleetwood Mac gang is fine. John's in Honolulu, Micks' in Maui . Lindsey here, getting ready to release this record and working on it. So you know, it's good. "

So sweet. I don't care. 13 years down the line, I still like to hear mention of a dame when the Fleetwood Mac "gang" is discussed. But I'll take what I can get.

It did not download with IE on a pc for some reason..I used Firefox and it downloaded in 5 minutes.Mac will be my next challenge.

[WildHearted]

Some more quotes.


Jim: "Why is fame for some people such a lonely business? Don Henley once wrote,'I don't konw why fortune smiles on some and let's the rest go free.' Explain that to me, from someone who is in your position of being very famous."

Stevie: "Well, okay, the good thing about me being famous is that .. I was almost 28 when I joined FLeetwood Mac. Lindsey was one year younger. We lived together as, really, as a married couple for five years, and we struggled. We built a life and we lived a kind of normal life. We did our music all night, and I was a waitress all day. We had bills to pay, and we had no money. So we knew who we were when we joined Fleetwood Mac. We knew that we would actually be okay if we ended up being just normal people, because we had to really fight to stay alive in this business until we actually joined Fleetwood Mac. I was always really glad about that because when people would say to me, 'Well, what if this doesnt work?' I would say, 'I'll just get another job.' I say that today: 'I'll just get another job. I'll go on the radio, I'll be an artist. I'll draw pictures. I'll do all the things that I'm not doing right now.'

I look at fame as.. it wasn't terrible for me. I never look at it as taking away my freedom. I think that fame, for some people, really is horrible. But I have to say, I mean, I think being a rock and roll star is great. I fly on a private plane, I stay in presidential suites, I drive in limousines - because I don't drive, really. You should be glad I don't drive. I was a good driver until 1978 when I let my drivers license go. I decided we were high and I didnt want to get in an accident and my whole fortune to go, so I just thought maybe driving was not a good idea. But I love my life. I love being famous. I love being able to walk into a restaurant and say, 'I'm Stevie Nicks. Can I get a table?' It's like, you know, why not? So all the people who hate being famous, I'm so sorry for them. The violins of the world are really playing for you in your 18 million dollar house. And if I could swear, I would swear right now and say really, ' ____ all of you, get a life.'"

[michelej1]

Some more quotes.


I'll be an artist. I'll draw pictures.

Really? Because I've seen some of the drawings and, um . . .

I know. One of the reasons I don't like audio interviews is that we don't have a written record of things. It's so fun and useful to be able to refer back to things, in the future.

Michele

[WildHearted]

Listening to her talk about Moonlight, I don't care that she was inspired by Twilight, because you can tell that at the end of the day, what she was really taken by was how she related to it and how it made her think of her own life. Which is what all of Stevie's songs come down to, anyway.

I've gotten a lot of it written down. I started out with just what was interesting to me, but later tonight I'll probably type it all up. I like to have a reference as well. I've been transcribing a lot of her radio interviews lately.

I don't care if Stevie was inspired by Twilight either. And I'm kind of proud that she has never once said a thing about "Jacob" and I'm 100% certain that when/if she does, it will be negative. So, it's all good.

This was such a looong, delicious interview though. That's too much of an undertaking. But I love the quotes you've already given us. Thank you.

That's one thing about the internet: I think it reduces the number of print interviews we get and that's somewhat distressing.

Many times I'll see a headline in the news and I'll click on it and it's not an article. It's a video. Now that close captioning is so common, they shouldn't just use it for tv shows. They should cc all video in the media.

Michele

[jannieC]

Thank you so much for downloading this. I will listen on my plane ride to Colorado this week-end. :)

[WildHearted]

The extended story of Moonlight:


"I go on the Fleetwood Mac tour in 2009. We do 83 shows, and we're ending up in Australia. We get to Melbourne - I get there the day before the band gets there, because I always go early to get with the new time. I'm at the Crown Plaza in Melbourne and I'm trying to stay up because that's what you do when you go to Australia. I go down to see a movie to keep me awake, and I see the second movie in the Twilight saga. There's almost nobody there, it's late, and I'm watching this movie. I'm very taken by what happens to the two characters in this story because it reminds me of something that happened to me. So I'm a little bit teary, and I'm philosophic, and I'm being really affected. I go to my room, and I'm really thinking about this.

The next day Fleetwood Mac comes in and we rent the Michael Jackson movie, we're trying to keep them up. We watch the Michael Jackson movie, which was amazing, and then Fleeetwood Mac goes off to bed. I tell my assistant and one of the promoters for the tour, 'I'm going back to see that movie... and I'd like you to come with me, but I'm going without you if you don't want to go. I'm going." So I went back and I watched it a second time. I went up to my room after it was over and I wrote an essay on fairy tales, and clandestine lovers, and beauty and the best, and who is the beauty and who the beast. It was five pages. It was kind of like something you'd write when you were in college, it was kind of covering all the bases of basic fairytales.

I then started thinking of this song I had written in probably 1977 that Lori and Sharon and I have sung and can sing to this day the whole thing at the piano. We just never recorded it, but it went out on a bunch of bootleg things, so my fans have heard it - it was called Lady From The Moutnains. And it's like, 'Some call her strange, lady from the mountains. And others say, she's not really real. Like a candle burns bright, and wants to burn faster. Well, maybe then at least she really feels.' This was about me. But I'm watching this movie about this girl named Bella and she's up in the mountains of Oregon or Washington or somewhere and it's the sea and it's the crashing ocean and it's this crazy story, and I'm thinking, 'Gosh, this could be about her, as well as it was about me.' And then the next verse to this song is, 'He loves her but he loves his life alone as well, but does he know the road, all the reasons why? If he leaves her, he'll be losing the chance to stay alive. The candle burns bright, then the candle dies.' This was written about Lindsey; however, this could so totally have been written about Edward, the vampire. So I'm struck by this. I write this essay, and there's a part of it that I'm writing about Bella, and it says, 'She's lonely, she's lost, she's disconnected. She finds no comfort in her surroundings. Beautiful, insecure, she's misdirected. She goes from situation to situation like a ghost.' And all of a sudden these three verses start to go together. And I'm thinking, 'This is making this ancient tale right here in front of me.'

The next day we play Melbourne and then we go onto Brisbane, and there's a piano in the hotel, in my room. I go to the piano and I sit down and I start thinking about Lindsey and I in so many ways.. and I start thinking about how Bella is in love with a vampire who is a noble and great man, just like the beast in Beauty and the Beast was a noble and great beast, but he was still a monster, and Edward is still a monster. But that doesn't make the love any less deep, even though it is impossible. So I start to write this chorus and it says, 'Strange, she runs from the ones she cant keep up with. She runs with the vampires.' And I run with the rockstars. 'Strange, he slows down, he's so desperate to stop her.' Because he doesn't want her to hurt, he doesn't want her to be hurt. 'Strange, they both run from the one who hunts them.' Who is the crazy vampire thats after both of them. 'They both drop to the forest floor, frozen.'

I sit at the piano and I play this song all the way through. I ask Karen, 'Get me the camera and put it on video because we need to record this.' So we recorded it. When it was done, I got up from the piano, and I said to my sweet assistant who has been in my life for like 22 years, 'I'm ready to make a record now, Karen. I'm ready. I don't care what anybody says. They can all go, like, jump off a lake. I am ready to make a record.'"

[michelej1]

The next day Fleetwood Mac comes in and we rent the Michael Jackson movie, we're trying to keep them up. We watch the Michael Jackson movie, which was amazing, and then Fleeetwood Mac goes off to bed.

So, how does this amorphous "Fleetwood Mac" watch a movie together? Do they rent a media room in the hotel or to do they all get on a king size bed together with a big bucket of popcorn? How does it work?



So I went back and I watched it a second time. I went up to my room after it was over and I wrote an essay on fairy tales, and clandestine lovers, and beauty and the best, and who is the beauty and who the beast. It was five pages. It was kind of like something you'd write when you were in college

What college would that be? I'm thinking it doesn't rate very high on the U. S. News and World Report polls.

Of course, I'm being silly, because I did write a paper on Sonny Bono when I was in college.

:lol:


The way she tells it makes it seem like they all piled [and I say piled loosely, she was in the presidential suite of course :rolleyes:] into Stevie's hotel room for a good old fashioned movie night :lol: I'm wondering who 'Fleetwood Mac' even refers too.. just Mick, John, and Lindsey? Their whole backing band? Stevie's entourage?

Ding!Ding!Ding! LOL!!

"Fleetwood Mac went to bed"... hilarious!!

[WildHearted]

Stevie: People will get in your way.

Jim: Why do you think that is? I mean, maybe it's even people with good intentions. But rather than encouragine one, it seems like it's easier for people to go, 'Oh, she can't do that. Don't do that. I know better.'

Stevie: I think, in a way, they fear for you. I think they fear that you'll be hurt, and that then you won't want to do it anymore, you know? I don't know, I don't really know why. I know that people are terrified about the business, and it's very hard. I mean, if Lindsey and I moved here today, and we were 22 and tried to get a record deal... I don't know, you know? People go like, 'Well, who are you guys, and what is your music? Are you like texas rock a billy, or are you like folk? What are you, who are you?' That happened then also, but it would really happen now. Would we make it now? We would try, and we would be just as forceful as we were then. But would we actually be able to crawl to the top now? I don't know.

Jim: Plus, they'd take one look at you and they'd want to put you in some sort ofridiculous costume and have you do dance steps.

Stevie: Well, yeah. Of course, you know, I am not to be choreographed. That's why I'm a lead singer. I cannot do steps - I'm a free dancer. No, that would not work for me at all, and of course, that would just infuriate Mr. Buckingham. So that would never work. We would have to really figure out.. would we have gone on American Idol? Would we have moved to England and gone on the X Factor? Would we have done whatever it took?

Jim: Let me ask you: What do you think about that American Idol thing? What do you think about that?

Stevie: I think that a lot of people feel that it's the only way to be seen. Record deals are far and few between and even if you have a hit single or two, if you don't follow it up, they're gonna drop you. So you just are talking about living in fear. At least we have our money invested, we're okay. But these kids that are like travelling around in a van trying to sell their record on the internet.. it's tough.

Jim: What would happen if Bob Dylan were to try to come out today? You think he'd get a record deal?

Stevie: I don't think so. I think that they'd totally miss his... his poetry. They'd be going like, 'What?'

Jim: What a waste that would be. Just think of the waste.

Stevie: Let me tell you something: there are Bob Dylans out there, and there are Fleetwood Mac's, and there are Led Zeppelins, and there are The Who, and there are Jim Morrison and the doors. They're there. I have total belief that all those really talented kids are out there, but whether or not they'll ever see the light of day is another quesiton. And that is really scary.

[B]Stevie: I think, in a way, they fear for you. I think they fear that you'll be hurt, and that then you won't want to do it anymore, you know? I don't know, I don't really know why. I know that people are terrified about the business, and it's very hard. I mean, if Lindsey and I moved here today, and we were 22 and tried to get a record deal... I don't know, you know? People go like, 'Well, who are you guys, and what is your music? Are you like texas rock a billy, or are you like folk? What are you, who are you?' That happened then also, but it would really happen now. Would we make it now? We would try, and we would be just as forceful as we were then. But would we actually be able to crawl to the top now? I don't know.

Jim: Plus, they'd take one look at you and they'd want to put you in some sort ofridiculous costume and have you do dance steps.

Stevie: Well, yeah. Of course, you know, I am not to be choreographed. That's why I'm a lead singer. I cannot do steps - I'm a free dancer. No, that would not work for me at all, and of course, that would just infuriate Mr. Buckingham. So that would never work. We would have to really figure out.. would we have gone on American Idol? Would we have moved to England and gone on the X Factor? Would we have done whatever it took?

Jim: Let me ask you: What do you think about that American Idol thing? What do you think about that?

Stevie: I think that a lot of people feel that it's the only way to be seen. Record deals are far and few between and even if you have a hit single or two, if you don't follow it up, they're gonna drop you. So you just are talking about living in fear. At least we have our money invested, we're okay. But these kids that are like travelling around in a van trying to sell their record on the internet.. it's tough.

Jim: What would happen if Bob Dylan were to try to come out today? You think he'd get a record deal?

Stevie: I don't think so. I think that they'd totally miss his... his poetry. They'd be going like, 'What?'

Jim: What a waste that would be. Just think of the waste.

Stevie: Let me tell you something: there are Bob Dylans out there, and there are Fleetwood Mac's, and there are Led Zeppelins, and there are The Who, and there are Jim Morrison and the doors. They're there. I have total belief that all those really talented kids are out there, but whether or not they'll ever see the light of day is another quesiton. And that is really scary.

This whole segment really struck me for some reason. I absolutely love the fact that she does have faith in my generation as far as music is concerned. She truly understands many people on a multitude of generations and I love her for it:angel:. I believe, like she does, that there are some BRILLIANT acts out there but because the music industry itself is so difficult to break into they don't get to see the light of day. When I think of not being able to have heard FM, or even Buckingham Nicks and seeing their brilliance it really depresses me:(. Especially to know that there are some wonderful people who deserve fame more than the famous.

I think If Stevie and Lindsey "B&N" came out today.I think they would not have a problem.It would fit in the rest.especially folk country music area.Or.Lite rock too.

[WildHearted]

I'm wondering who has ever asked Stevie to fly out of the country to play tambourine on one of their tracks :lol:

[GoldDustWoman22]

I think If Stevie and Lindsey "B&N" came out today.I think they would not have a problem.It would fit in the rest.especially folk country music area.Or.Lite rock too.

That is true. I mean obviously their music is timeless. I just wonder in the state the record company is in would they have even gotten a record deal? I'd like to think so but I just don't know. A part of me kind of wishes that they were around today that way I could have actually discovered them from the beginning. But mostly I just wish I was around back then...I do not belong in this generation:nod:

Yes .She was doubling herself in the interview monday.I dont know why she was.If them went on American Idol like she said.Stevie and Lindsey would of win.I think so.

[WildHearted]

As far as them getting a record deal today...

The music may be timeless but that doesn't mean that the industry is at state today where it would be realistic for them to break through. Mainstream radio etc is COMPLETELY different, the media is completely different, and the general public's expectations for performers is completely different.

Not to mention that... if Stevie and Lindsey were 22 today, would their music still sound like it did back then? Probably not, because they wouldn't have had the same influences. So you have to take that into consideration. With that in mind, maybe they would have a better chance at making it today because they would have wider appeal.

Going on a talent show is a whole different story.

[CADreaming]

Yeah, I don't the issue would be if their music would be awesome or if they would have enough talent to make it. It would be the same as it was then - could they get a record deal and how long would they last in the industry as it is.

That's true. When she said in the interview how the record industry might have a hard time putting their music into a genre, I wondered if she thought their music may have sounded the same. I personally think it may have sounded similar but I don't know if they would have succeeded or not. There are not many known duos today so I think that could've been unique to their name. However, considering the album they made in '73 wasn't a hit I don't know if they would've translated better to this generation or not. Of course you have to consider record company promotion and the new forms of media and everything like that as well. If their music was out today then yes they would have a wider appeal but would they be able to appeal to the mainstream and be popular enough to become a label mainstay?

[PenguinHead]

I love love love that she has chosen to keep the Wiltern set list for her tour!

In the last part of the interview she mentioned how the Wiltern show was a showcase -- meaning she could to perform 8 new songs only within this context.

Then she talked about how Fleetwood Mac made the mistake of adding too many new songs in their Rumours set list... and it didn't go over well. She's mentioned this "lesson-learned" story several times before. I always thought it was a bunch of bull ****.

Clearly, with the Wilton show, she now sees that theory is a bunch of bull****. If they are good and well performed, new songs are well-received by the audience. The Wilton audience was obviously elated to hear her new songs. It was a great set list -- a set list that promotes the album, and gives a nod to ancient concert staples.

I couldn't imagine her hacking up that set list, cutting most of the new songs, and falling back on well-worn oldies. She severly under-estimated her fan base. I'm so glad she realized she can keep it fresh...and we're with her.

[Buddy]

Thank you so much for this! GREAT interview. Gotta love Stevie unscripted!

So I guess you wish you were 50 years old?

[tabruns]

"[Ghosts are Gone] is about a relationship that was like, done. Over. Walked away. Never wanted to speak of it again. Like a ghost through the fog, like a silver shadow, like a golden rainbow. Gone. And even the ghosts are gone, the ghosts went with it. This was 'Don't call me. Don't talk to me. If you're walking across the street, I will absolutely cross the street to be as far away from you as I can.' Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

DAMN.

I am really curious who this is about.

[WildHearted]

I am really curious who this is about.

Me too.

I thought it was about Lindsey at first, but I don't think you could say her relationship with Lindsey has ever been so 'end of story' like that.

Now the 'ghost through the fog' line is even more confusing. Maybe she just likes it and it's not connected at all.

[michelej1]

I am really curious who this is about.

This year, hasn't she seemed to be more down on Joe Walsh than in the past, recanting him as one of her true great loves? Maybe it's about him.

Michele

I have to agree with this theory. I think she's starting to look at their relationship more realistically these days- with less romantic notion (if that makes sense).

[GoldDustWoman22]

So I guess you wish you were 50 years old?

Haha I just think that back then the music was more of a movement that I would love to have been a part of. I still like some music today but I feel like everyone's attitude about music and what it means has changed.

Also about the whole "Ghosts are Gone"/Joe Walsh theory. I know a little bit about their relationship (they dated for three years, she met him in a hotel bar and sat on his lap etc.) but not all the details. Was there something big that happened?

[Macfanforever]

So I guess you wish you were 50 years old?

Hey Viv .I'm at the edge of 50 now.Wow.My nephew is about 24 and he loves the music in my generation.He cant stand todays tunes.I so glad and proud with these young adults . kids as I call them love the old stuff.

[THINKABOUTIT]

That interview was so amazing!! I sat up for all 4 hours, in my rocking chair, with several cups of tea, LOL, & listened the whole way. I'd have killed to have been a fly on the wall in the studio. Jim's interviews w/ Stevie are always amazing; it helps he's a fan. :) He has always had a huge crush on her too...I love it! ;)

I'm the same age as you but I love the music of today. I have always promised myself that I would stay in tune with the current music of the day. I always have and I always will. I won't turn my mind off to music from another genre just because I was raised on classic rock.

Yes. you are the same age.I forgot.Sorry.I do like some of todays tunes.I'm not condemning it altogether.I probably said this on here before.Back in the 1970's or about when the FM rumours came out.I decided to get into country music.Yes my parents and friend look at me strange and said "Are you ok".hehehe.Of course I held on to Fleetwood Mac and other pop rock bands I like at the time.Yes at school ,I did get bullied about liking country music.Back then almost every tune that played on the radio I liked.Today is alot less.Oh whose hand in your sig.

[LilyRose]

So I listened to this again yesterday at work and it made the afternoon go by that much faster.

Also, Jim Ladd is my spirit animal. :D

[tabruns]

I thought the interview was fantastic. Very fun.

Was "Italian Summer" the only song not played from the album during the interview?

[WildHearted]

I thought the interview was fantastic. Very fun.

I don' t think they played New Orleans or Cheaper Than Free.

Wait.. no.. I think they did play CTF. I think I just blocked it from my memory.

[LilyRose]

I actually have new appreciation for CTF after hearing her tell the story about Dave and his girls. I thought that was so sweet, and it made me see it in a whole new light.

[wheart]

So I sat down last night to listen to this interview...and I sat and I sat. Damn it's long. I couldn't get through the whole thing but so far it's amazing, so reminescent of the Jim Ladd interviews of days gone by. The part that really got me was the Walter Reed segment...but for some reason it always touches me when Stevie discusses her experiences with the soliders. But the way her voice got softer and softer as she recounted her first experience thee it was as if you could hear a pin drop in that studio...and Jim's segue into "Solider's Angel" was simply perfect. That moment reminded me so much of a Tusk era interview Stevie did (I have it on cassette somewhere) where she was discussing an interaction she had with a fan. About midway through she was starting to get that super serious and intense tone and her voice got real soft, just the way it did in this interview from this week. I was hanging on her every word and I'm pretty sure Jim was too. It just continues to amaze me how much Stevie has not changed, even after all these years. And I love her for it!

[johnnystorms]

I am really curious who this is about.

He's British, and she was inspired to write it in England, and Lord knows we hear NOTHING about that period anymore.... just a theory.

[LilyRose]

Ohhhhh! Rupert Hine? I think you may be right. Didn't she say Ghosts Are Gone was partially inspired after meeting Amanda Ghost? If you look up Rupert Hine's production credits, he produced a song for Amanda in 2006. Hmmm...

[johnnystorms]

he produced "Ghosts" on Stevie's OSOTM!

[LilyRose]

he produced "Ghosts" on Stevie's OSOTM!

Well yes. That too. :laugh:

[THINKABOUTIT]

I LOVE Jim Ladd!! The man kicks serious ass!! :) He has always had a crush on Stevie too & it's so damned cute ;) That interview was so amazing!! I sat up for all 4 hours of it; made my sleep pattern get thrown off & I had trouble falling asleep Tuesday night, hence, getting up Wed. morning for the Amoeba signing sucked LOL...totally worth it though :) Best interview....:)

[michelej1]

Listening to her talk about Moonlight, I don't care that she was inspired by Twilight, because you can tell that at the end of the day, what she was really taken by was how she related to it and how it made her think of her own life. Which is what all of Stevie's songs come down to, anyway.


And I was thinking that even though 'she runs with the ones she can't keep up with' is a reference to Bella's human limitations compared to the vampires' (or wolves) super power and speed, it also squarely reminds me of LDW:

You love only the tallest trees
I come running down the hill
But you're fast; you're the winner
Long distance winner

Strangely enough, the tallest trees line reminds me of Edward climbing trees with Bella on his back. Maybe Stephenie Meyer was a BN fan:laugh:. Hmm. I'm not sure Mormons could listen to BN growing up, especially not with that randy album cover.

Yep, definitely. I hadn't thought of that connection specifically, but it's definitely a very applicable comparison, as Stevie even said, "She runs with the vampires... I run with the rock stars."

Wonder if anyone's ever called Stevie 'spider monkey.'

The "he slows down"s in Moonlight always remind me of The Highwayman: "Then he sees her coming / Heartbeats on the wind / Consider's slowing down /But then he could never win."

[MrStevie]

The "he slows down"s in Moonlight always remind me of The Highwayman: ".

Going with this...even if it incites groans across the board :laugh: ...The Highwayman must be another Lindsey song, eh? :shrug: She sure did open a can of whoop ass on him at the Wiltern when she was singing that line and wagging her finger at him up in the balcony. Scared my ass straight. :lol: It was like Silver Springs during the Dance all over again. :nod:

HA! She wasn't too scary, she was saying "baby" with that finger wag.

[MrStevie]

:lol::lol::lol:




HA! She wasn't too scary, she was saying "baby" with that finger wag.

Maybe it was her unexpected scream at the end that gave me a jolt? I just remember she was having a go at him and I was feeling it. Freaked me out. To me it was the most memorable song of the night besides Soldier's Angel. Neither were favorites of mine before seeing them live. Ooo the voodoo she can do. :nod: :D

Voting for Joe Walsh.

Reminds me of Joe's song "Walk Away".

[Macfanforever]

Just think. a week ago we were glued to our computers or radios. listening to Stevie 's awesome long interview with Jim Ladd.Going into the wee hours in the east coast all of us are getting sleepy eyed and dont want to miss a minute of Stevie talking to Jim and did not want to miss a second .She stayed on the air about 4 hours.What dedication Stevie has for her fans.She hasn't get any sleep in 24hours.Days before her signing at Amoeba .She went that extra mile for her fans.Thanks for Jim letting her stay on the air for all that time.I checked my Adrive account tonight and 204 of you fans downloaded the show.Thank you Curtis for capturing the whole show for us.As I can see.I'm proud of Stevie going all out with these interviews and signings.

[glamorousnymph]

Dave's guitar riff on Ghosts Are Gone: "It came out of the ethos." :laugh:

Another vote for Joe Walsh in Ghosts, and I have noticed she never mentions him lately. Lindsey seems to be her great love during this round with the media. Maybe she finally heard that interview Joe did with Howard Stern (that I've never had the chance to hear, despite searching) in which he said he was just a road **ck? Also, Dave said Stevie was the first person to say "Don't come around here no more" to Joe, all those years back, which inspired him to write the song.

ETA Wondering why people think she's less than sober in this interview? Just the fact that she's talking for so long, or...?

She did mention him though and rather kindly (saying that according to Sharon he left to save their lives). This was a departure from her other recent comments about him in which she was sour on him in a way she hadn't been before.
