Stevie & Bette
 

It may be a silly question, but I'm curious. I have just read in the "Stevie Picture I Hadn't Seen" thread that Jana Anderson's husband plays trumpet in Bette Midler's band. Isn't this a returning connection? Marty Hom, Cory, and I think Ray Lindsay too went to work for her. Is it all a coincidence? I'm asking it also because it would be a hoot to see Stevie perform with her for a duet. :cool: :thumbsup:

Isn't Taku on Bette's tour, too?

You're right, I forgot about him. It seems there's a FM tribe on tour with Bette... :D

I think Jill the wardrobe lady works with Bette too. She told me in London that she turned down Bette to travel with FM but that Kim Brakely wasn't with FM in Europe because she hadn't turned her down!

Taku's been with Bette for a quite a while (since Divine Miss Millennium), as have Ray Lindsey and the rest. :nod:

During the first leg of her Kiss My Brass tour, there was a Stevie mention in the tourbook in the Dolores DeLago (the Toast of Chicago!) section that says "She loved to party and according to close friend Stevie Nicks, '...if there was a vodka and an aquarium - Delores was there.'"

I think a duet between the two would be a disaster, though. I can't quite think of anyone who has enough presence and energy to stand next to that woman onstage, save maybe Miss Tina. :laugh: But I'd die to see Stevie sing Big Noise From Winnetka, while putting peacock feathers in your mouth and twirling about the stage. :laugh:

"I am the one they call the Big Noise
I'm looking fine and feeling sharp
I just blew in from Winettka, daddy-o
I'm gonna blow this joint apart
Got my Reeblechs, don't need high heels
My footwork is an art
You know the joint is jumping
My hip is throbbin'
And this is just the start..."

Miss Jill needs to get Stevie in the pink leather mini's that she's got Bette wearing this time around. :laugh:

AAAAHHHH!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! My eyes! my poor eyes! :eek:

I think Bette looks amazing. She lost tons of weight back in 2000 and has kept it all off. Each time I saw her on the Kiss My Brass tour, I was amazed at how wonderful she looked. :nod: And she's still a show-stopper and perhaps the greatest live entertainer in history.

That's great, but i still don't want to see a PINK leather mini on Stevie. For God's sake. :laugh:
Also, for Bette to look amazing...well, that's good, but she's not really very attractive to start with, unfortunately... :D

Well, I don't either, but that goes without saying. :laugh:

:laugh:
but for the 'bok haters, at least she really couldn't wear them with a pink mini... :D still...AAAAHHHHHH! MY EYES! :laugh:

I don't think she's incredibly attractive looks-wise, but I think her demeanor and presence is ultra sexy, just as I think Camryn Manheim's presence and confidence makes her very sexy. Did you ever see The Rose? She was very sexy during many of those songs, IMO. :)

She couldn't wear those wretched shoes and get away with it EVER unless the audience was completely blind. :lol:

Uh, i guess she was sexy during those songs. I forgot about your slight chubby chaser tendencies... :lol: Just kidding.

I'm not one of the 'bok haters. But you go! I'm one of the layery dress haters. but in the end, i don't really care that much. if stevie wants to look chubbers in layers, that's her business :shrug:
