The 3 Great Loves of Stevie's Life

[Lady Q T]

I can't possibly imagine that Mick is a great love affair for Stevie. I would have to say Lindsey is one and probably Joe Walsh and my third one is ("six weeks in a foreign country, how the time flew") Bob Dylan.

Are you serious gldstwmn? Bob Dylan? I didn't know she had a fling with him! Is that who "Destiny Rules" is about then? I thought is was about Lindsey! Could you please tell me more?

Thanks!

You are right of course, he did make it hard but still the way she described her affair with Mick, was almost like saying it was a quick fling. I do def think it would have been harder to keep the band together if they broke up but still had intense feelings for each other. The circumstances suggest that Mick was not a great love I think.

I agree Sharon.

Here's what I know: A long time friend of mine who is in the industry used to go to a lot of Dead shows (still does actually). Now EaglesMac, maybe you can help with the timeline here. Bobby D was touring with the Dead in the 80's and they played a big show in I think it was Oakland or in California somewhere. My friend was sitting on the stage with his friend who was mixing the sound. He prefaces this story with "I was really shy when I was younger." He calls it his Stevie story and I've heard him tell it a bunch of times. Anyway they're sitting there and this woman comes out in this gauzy duster type thing and of course all the guys are checking her out because a) she's beautiful and b) she's not wearing anything underneath. He turns to his friend the sound guys and says "Is that...?" His friend says "yeah, it's Nicks, she's with Dylan." Now keep in mind this was pre Betty Ford because, yes, I asked him about that too and the answer was affirmative. Apparently it was an open secret. My friend Mr. Shy said he couldn't keep looking at her because of the get up and he still gets flustered when he talks about it. I don't know about Destiny Rules but I definitely think Whole Lotta Trouble is about him.

Thank you for sharing, Gldstwmn

Now that I think about it, I do remember reading something about her and Bob showing up at a show together. It was in an Italian magazine but the show was in the USA someplace.

Hi Pattie! How's everything in RI? I've been reluctant to post this story becasue I was afraid it might be upsetting to some people.

The weather here in RI stinks. LOL It has rained just about everyday. It is not raining right now however. I am still on a 'high' from my Florida trip and 2 shows.

I don't see how your story would upset some people but hey I am still a little slow from my traveling.

Some of Stevie's younger fans may not know how uninhibited Stevie was back in the day. I just don't want to burst anyone's bubble, that's all.

Like a window, I guess. By the way, Mr. Shy now has seven children, including a set of twins. Maybe she cured him? Also, I did a little research on the timeline and it appears that this was in July 1987. Bob Dylan's "band": Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. They also toured Australia for a six week period in 1984 according to the Dylan sites I checked out. So...

And she DID cover Just Like A Woman in 1994 did she not.

WOW, I can't believe that! I never knew that.

It doesn't ruin a thing, it just makes her that much more of a "rock star".
Bob Dylan isn't my thing but I HAVE to laugh at the though of Lindsey in bed listening to Mr Shys 1997-98 album LOL. Didn't he say he did that in some article. I guess he's searching for WHY OH WHY him as well!?

Yea i remember reading this..she toured with all of them but after a few shows the Aussies wouldn't let her perform cause she didn't have a work permit?? wtf?? lol..so..it would have made sense that she was with Dylan...but was she WITH him like that?? BTW i am a younger fan and i am not at all bothered by this..it is all so interesting,lol...

She was WITH him. "My intentions were clear, I was with him...Everyone knew."
