Hey David, I tried to just shrug off you comments about Stevie deserving a good crack in the mouth...I know you made it to be funny but I never found one occasion to laugh as I watched my own Dad beat up on my Mom many many times while I was growing up.

Just to clarify for the benefit of our readers, there are a couple of Davids posting to this thread. The comment about Stevie getting cracked in the mouth was not made by me.

What about "Life in the Fastlane", by the Eagles? Isn't that supposedly about S&L's relationship? Somehow I think Lindsey seems like he could have been one mean SOB, very "cruel". JMHO!!!!! But, he does seem to have mellowed over the past few years. Desiree

According to Don Henley, his song is about himself and his girlfriend.

By the way, Christine is gorgeous. Those eyes and her cool chic make her sexy as hell.

[dissention]

I think Christine is a natural beauty. She has the whole package: looks, great sense of humor, style, etc.

I wholeheartedly believe that Lindsey hit Stevie. He has shown that he can be violent (kicking her on-stage, tripping her backstage, SUPPOSEDLY abusing that model chick). Stevie herself pretty much confirmed what Mick said in his book in a BBC doc from 1994. No matter how you cut the mustard, LB hit her. And there is no reason known to man why a man should inflict violence on a woman; defend him all you want, but it's true. Now, I really don't believe Carol-Ann and what she was saying on Donahue. I think that is bull****. But he seems very controlling and possessive. But, he's mellowed out in recent years!

I think the love of Stevie's life is clearly John McVie.

I've never really noticed Christine in the Seven Wonders video, as I was too busy drooling over Stevie, who looks stunning in it. Lindsey looks like a right smug git though.

As for Lindsey and Stevie... Who knows... All this belief in "cycles" and "destiny"... I'm sure the story isn't over yet. A sick part of me kind of wants more scandal from this band, no matter who it disrupts.

I'm with you on that. I love the drama! I know, I know, it's kind of (okay, really) wrong....but hey.

And I think Christine is absolutley beautiful. Just look at those eyes in the "Hold Me" video. She has a different kind of beauty and that's what I love. Plus, her style is really just the best. So...classic rock chic.

I think that whatever really happened will never be revealed....when 2 people are that involved with each other, there is a fine line between love and hate. And since Stevie herself said something about "we said all the awful things you aren't supposed to say to each other in case we got back together" that says it all. How many of us have crossed that line? I certainly have. Passion has a way of becomming very ugly at times. Plus, didn't Lindsey recently say that they still have a few more conversations left to have? What's in the past should stay there, but it does make for fabulous music.

What if Stevie was high that particular day and she attacked Lindsey first when he said he didn't want to tour and stuff? Maybe he hit her AFTER she hit him? I dunno. Just a thought...

Lindsey pushed Stevie against a car and slapped her, but he MIGHT have done it because she was being crazy or something, trying to calm her down?

I'm not saying he was right in hitting her, I'm just wondering what caused this man who is most definitely NOT a violent person to hit Stevie.

Stevie had just come out of Betty Ford at this time, so I doubt that she was high. As far as him hitting her, it has also been said that it was not the first time. It was a matter of things that had built up over twleve years coming to a head.

Well, I may be wrong about the coke time frame - and thanks for the correction guys. But then that brings up another very salient point; early recovery. It can be worse than the active addiction itself for the person trying to clean up. In fact, a person can actually act quite insane during that time. Just another interesting bit of speculation. Maybe Stevie really "freaked" out in an early recovery episode. What makes this type of thing so difficult is that the person is suddenly forced to deal with all those things that they had been escaping from while active in the addiction.

So I'm going to stick to my original statement, if anything, because it will tweak a lot of people on this board:
"Maybe Stevie deserved a good crack in the mouth"

rofl!! - just trying to stir things up a bit

take care friends

Yeah because we all know how funny domestic violence is. OJ anyone?

Don't underestimate the nature of early recovery. Until you've been through it yourself, there's no way you could understand - drugs or no drugs. The first couple years can be hell.

david

Actually I have gone through it, so I understand quite well. Domestic violence is wrong.

All of the hubbub around this whole story seems to driven in equal parts by the little bits that we know happened along with bits of things that we, with all of our various biases, want to believe happened.

I don't expect to ever know what really happened, and on some level, I don't really want to. I guess I don't really thrive on scandal so much.

How ever they may have treated each other in '87, or '82, or even '79... I think Stevie and Lindsey are completely over each other nowadays, in regards to their romance.
They've both been in love several times since then, not to mention that Lindsey is happily married with two children now, and Stevie has stated that it's actually a man other than Lindsey whom she considers to be the love of her life.

So, J. Stew - who do you surmise IS the love of her life? Don Henley? Jimmy Iovine?

[wondergirl9847]

Didn't I read here on the Ledge, someone said the love of her life was Joe Walsh?!?!

I think Lindsey was the love/hate of her life.

I know you weren't asking me, but I really think the love of her life was Joe Walsh. Think about it. It's the only relationship that she never really talks about. Plus, he's the only one of her ex's that she seemingly doesn't stay in contatct with. As much as I would love it to be Lindsey...I really think it was Joe.
