I realize it's par for the course with her, but still. Saying how she wanted to join the Heartbreakers and how she preferred their music. How she credits Tom with her solo career. No loyalty whatsoever. Never passes as opportunity to minimize the impact and talent of the band she's actually in. I just don't get it. Nobody else in the band ever does that.

Stevie loves and has (almost) always loved Fleetwood Mac. She just loves Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers more. She dug the sound of their third album, Damn the Torpedoes, and wanted that feel for Bella Donna. So Jimmy Iovine (producer of both Torpedoes and Bella Donna) and Tom Petty are, in a sense, to thank for a lot of her solo success; she needed their help on her first solo outing, putting herself out there separate for the first time from the biggest band in the world. She really worried if she could do that and not fail.
