LIMO DRIVER'S STAR CLIENTELE

BALLINA-based limousine driver John Felsch has had his fair share of celebrity clients.

But his favourite was country singer bombshell Dolly Parton.

“She is just my dream girl,” he said.

“I also had (Fleetwood Mac singer) Stevie Nicks and that was pretty memorable. I won't tell why.”

He won't tell why??? Mmmh, maybe he had an affair with her while he was driving???

That's a nice way of wording it. ;):p

I wonder what happened.
Seriously, though.

Maybe had an affair with her. Or maybe, if it was 70's to 80's, it could've been memorable for another reason. :shrug:

Just being able to drive Stevie some place would make me happy - LOL.

Heck yeah, I totally agree!!! If she ever asked me for a ride, it would make me day.

It had something to do with a monkey.

The thing is, it could be something really innocuous, like she had a terrible sense of direction and insisted that he take an labyrinthian route. But by being withholding and mysterious, he makes us suspect bigger, more salacious things.

"Unless of course, someone like The National Enquirer pays me to do so..." :laugh:

Either tell the story or don't mention it at all, jackass.

With a monkey?? Something like "Yippie Yippie Yeah Yeah"????

:D I love it when non-stories arouse great interest

I agree. Actually I think he was just, how do you say in english.. blustering?? I think she was just nice but the "won't tell why" makes him more interesting

Maybe she farted really loudly or something...:lol:

I know, right?

Yes, a monkey.
BTW, the monkey's name is Barry.

Is it the same monkey as in the the Street Angel "incident"? ;)

Hmmm, I notice the limo driver is from Ballina. It's really most famous for the Big Prawn, which, in a move I think smacks of false advertising, isn't even that big.

I realise he's obviously had to drive out of Ballina to pick up all his famous passengers, but like everyone else, I'm quite sure he's just added a hint of scandal to make a better story for the regional paper.

But hey, I'm still jealous. It's a great story to have, whatever happened.

Yes, you are correct, the very same monkey.

Stevie was very frustrated with Jane and the monkey (please see Street Angel bashing thread), and she went on an on about it with the limo driver. So the story continues:

Stevie: "Well I just left the research center, Jane is really mad"

Limo Driver: "Yes, go on"

Stevie: "Anyway, she asked me to apologize to Barry"

Limo Driver: "Barry?"

Stevie: "The monkey"

Limo Driver: "Well?"

Stevie: "Nothing doing. Listen driver, I didn't do anything. It's
the monkey that should be apologizing to me!"

Limo Driver: "Well, I don't think that's going to happen"

(there's more, don't you worry Ledgies)

Oh, how exciting. I can't wait to read more about this. :D

"Nothing doing." LOL

This, my friends, is how urban legends get started. Just think, iamnotafraid, ten years from now, some fledgling Stevie fan will be like, "You know, I heard that Stevie had this problem with this monkey named Bobby or Barry or something, and anyway, her and Jane Goodall totally got into a fistfight over it, and I think the phrase 'pistols at dawn' was involved, too."

or

"Anyone have a copy of Street Angel that includes the Jane Goodall fight in the liner notes? Mine doesn't have it, so I am thinking it must've been just for a limited edition - can I get a scan???? THANKS!"

Maybe
 

Maybe the limo driver was Lindsey Buckingham and the monkey did apologize and passed out cigars to which Christine partook, because Christine was in the limo too.
This was how the band really got started, not the Mick story, but the monkey, its all about Barry and his apology.:blob2:

It's all about the monkey.

GypsyGirl, glad you want more of this story told.
Zombie, It wasn't a fistfight, more of a CAT FIGHT
(based on liner notes from the Street Angel Promo)

I'm surprised more of you don't know this story.
Much of it can be found on an old song released
on the Uncirculated Rumours set. Parts of the song
lyrics were used by Bob Dylan for his song "Tweeter
And the Monkey Man" (slight changes in lyrics of
course). And Even Lindsey used some of the lyrics
to write "Big Love".

A few verses from Stevie's Song "Stevie and the Monkey":

The monkey and I were hard up for cash,
we'd blown it all the night before doing
cocaine and hash.
Then a friend named Jane, for reasons
unexplained, she loved the Monkey, ...man.

I was a girl scout before I fell in love with Buckingham,
And then found out the hard way nobody gives a damn.

Buckingham never liked the monkey,..man.
Even back in childhood he wanted to see them
locked up in the can.

Now how could a story like that be made up?
With Stevie, Lindsey, Jane, Dylan, the limo driver
and most importantly the MONKEY all together like
that.

That's deep, dawg. I love when Stevie's lyrics get so mystical and ethereal, and now that we know the limo driver was there, you can really begin a deeper exploration of the subtext.

:laugh: Bodda bing, bodda boom...:laugh:

this part is lovely. however, Stevie's authorship would be more believable if you inserted a few 'WEEEEEELL"s.

Yes that's pretty deep. Well to deep for a simple man like me to explain.

And Remy, I left out the verses that started with "Well".
With all those "wells" left in, I would have had to type forvever.

This thread was bumped for "mylittledemon" and "enchanted Stevi".
They begged for information on Barry.

I will not disappoint my fellow Ledgies.

It doesn't make any sense to me. Or I guess, I don't see what this has to do with the official FM website. Perhaps the answer is in the Street Angel thread, but I don't have time to figure that out right now. :confused:

On Edit: Okay, okay I'm slow- I'm with you now.

JannieC, that made me laugh!

Gee, it's so, so...Seinfeldian.

For some strange reason I'm recalling the movies "Thinner" and also "Parenthood" with Steve Martin. :rolleyes:

I am Kramer........you know who I am dang it!
