Stevie and Mick: In Her Words
"We were finishing the Rumours tour [in late 1977] and we had gone to Australia. One night we had a party and everybody was drunk and everybody was gone and it was just me and Mick, and we ended up spending the night together. And I fell in love with Mick and I think Mick fell in love with me. We had three weeks in Australia and 10 days in Japan to get through and then we were meeting up with all our families in Hawaii. Jenny, Mick’s wife, was there, and Paul, the man I’d been seeing, and nobody knew about me and Mick because we had been incredibly discreet. I told Paul how sorry I was and Mick told Jenny, and then we had to go to Maui and play a show. Then everybody went back to the mainland, but Mick and I stayed in Hawaii for two days and drove around the mountains and talked about what a dumb-ass thing it was that we had done and that, basically, we were not going to break up Fleetwood Mac. And we got on the plane, held hands all the way back to Los Angeles, and realized, when we got off that plane, that for all practical purposes it was over. It had its month of glory, which was fantastic and very romantic, and then when we got back to LA it was not romantic any more, it was horrifying. It should never have happened."

I dislike that romance for some reason. It just seems icky to me somehow.

I wonder how that worked, I mean mechanically? :sorry:

Stevie was a Farrah Fawcett back then. She was like a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, a brand-new Trans-Am with a sunroof, an ice-cold can of 'Tab' during a heat-wave. You know what I mean? She was on fire in terms of her beauty and mysterious sexuality, Mick seems many steps down compared to what she could have gotten. How could it have been worth it for her?

Six weeks in a foreign country, how the time flew. I didn't speak the language, but somehow I knew, that that would be the only time that we could be alone and foolish. We said we'd never come home.

written for Mick Fleetwood inspired by the Jean Cocteau and his early French film about Beauty and the Beast dedicated to Vincent and Katherine |

^Agreed :)
BATB is definitely about Mick, IMO. I remember when I first heard about them being together...I was like "WTF??" He's so tall & she's so short...and he had all that facial hair YIKES!!! :lol: Over time, though, I've come to think its kind of sweet...and I love how close they are now :angel: |
I never found Mick Fleetwood to be attractive until last year. And I have yet to figure out why.

Sometimes illicit sex can be so dirty!! :distress: I always thought that she meant that Mick was the beauty and she was the beast. :shrug::shrug::shrug:

I've yet to figure out how long this relationship even lasted. Some information indicates around a month and it ranges all the way up to around a year :shrug:

She said last year she and Lindsey are the beauty and the beast. :shrug: That's all I'm saying. That and I am with Louie on the manure they spread regarding this so-called "relationship" she had with Mick. It doesn't add up on several levels. Quote:
"I also remember Mick and I years later at the Red Rocks Rock A Little video. He had come by himself to play, and he stayed there with me all night (in the rain) to do close-ups...everyone else had left." Mick was at Red Rocks. Big whoop. Has nothing to do with the actual subject matter of the song. Quote:

Poppycock! First they say Mick went, then they say Stevie and Mick went...oh it's such garbage! Hilarious. But, garbage. |

Maybe she felt safe with Mick, after all the heartbreak crap they all went through. Maybe that's how it evovled into a HUGE mistake! It's just my theory, I guess we'll never really know until one of them tells the whole truth.

I find Mick's accent attractive and the understated way he tells a joke is very amusing, the glib intonations, that's kind of sexy to hear. Smooth.
But physically I think he's rather disgusting and so are lots of the things we've heard about him -- even the stories he's told about himself. Michele |

My point in posting the quote about Lindsey was - she's let everyone believe for years she wrote that about Mick and then she up and says she and Lindsey are the "beauty and the beast". It's infuriating. She puts stuff out there one way, then later says something totally different. So, in the end, we don't actually get the true story. And, I hate that. I think she feels like the "truth" is in the songs themselves and that should be enough. I guess if it's her perogative to keep the real meanings to herself, then it's my perogative not to be happy about it. :rolleyes: |

"Sometimes I walk by, and I look up to your balcony just to make sure that you were real..." C'mon... she'd been in a band with Mick for nearly 3 decades when she wrote that song. He's always been one of her closest friends. Stevie talks to him on the phone all the time. She wouldn't have to "walk past his balcony to make sure he was real," she'd just have Karen dial him up! :p They're soooo beyond that whole month-long drug-fueled bodily fluid exchange that had occurred some 25 years prior. Just watch the Destiny Rules doc... even the way Stevie looks at Mick and interacts with him is proof of this. There is no flame in her eyes for him. If anything, it's more of a sibling kind of thing: a mixture of laughter and annoyance emanates from Stevie when she and Mick communicate. |

I think Mick was attractive back in the early days before he grew his huge beard, haha.
