This is a quote from Jimmy Iovine attributed to Howard Stern. I went back and listened to the Howard /Jimmy interview and while he said something similar, saying how talented Lindsey was, he didn't say this:
"When I first started working with Stevie Nicks on her first solo record I was shocked on how reliant she was to Lindsey Buckingham for her music. Up to that point it was Lindsey who told her if a song she wrote sounded good, or bad. It was Lindsey who molded her material into songs, told her if a verse should be left in, or out. He would even change many of her original tempos to a different time signature. Even during the production of her first record she would second guess what I was doing, wondering if Lindsey would’ve done the same thing. I knew from that point onward I would have to do my best to adapt to become what Lindsey had been to her music to make it all work, yet not lose my own identity on how I made records myself. " Jimmy Iovine
Does anyone know where this is from?
