Article re: DC show in 4/2/09 Rolling Stone

[EveryHour]

A nice, one page article on page 18 w/photos from the show (JM not pictured, which sucks). It mentions Stevie in her dressing room with Sulamith and Sara, drinking Folgers coffee and listening to 'Bootylicious' on her boom box..........

(I want to comment on that last bit, but I'll let you..........)

Sorry, I am not a good enough typist to duplicate the entire article (as some of you are). I mentioned Stevie and her boom box because it is a highlight of the article, not just so we could poke fun at those darned eight "D" batteries!

It talks briefly about each of them backstage before the show. LB, JM and MF hang out in a suite of rooms labeled "Men of Mac". Mick decides what he's going to wear, hangs out with his kids, and does pre-show stretching. Lindsey noodles on his guitar and picks at grilled chicken. Mick says, "Back in the day, I would be wheeled in here on a gurney most afternoons and massaged back to life. Then I'd somehow start it all over again and drink my way into oblivion halfway through the show." He also says the band used to play their songs faster due to all the 'marching powder'. Lindsey mentions the tension of the SYW Tour. Stevie says, "We don't have anything to fight about this time, which gives us the opportunity to just go up there and perform these songs we love. It's really kind of joyful." LB says they have learned to give each other space between shows. He says, "This is still based in a situation where there were two couples that had broken up. But we do talk to each other--we're not the Eagles." Stevie: "The crowd loves the love story of Stevie and Lindsey. We get to have that onstage--we don't have to go home together to have the love story." JM is miffed with Mick after the show because Mick forgot to introduce him!
