Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) on Stevie Nicks

[omshiva]

Last week's Monday Dave Stewart visited "The Bob & Tom Show", a US comedy radio program, on which he sang and played "Here Comes The Rain Again", "Don't Come Around Here No More" and "Lily Was Here" with an acoustic guitar to a backing track live in the studio plus improvised a "Bob & Tom Blues" towards the end of his more than an hour visit. In between he told some news and personal stories.

Besides how it is working with Ringo Starr, The the old and new Traveling Wilburys and Annie Lennox, living with George Harrison and how experiences with his French teacher formed his sexual life, he explained that unfortunately his French solo album with singer-songwriter Carla Bruni is on hold for longer after she's even more busy now being president Sarkozy's wife. Regarding "Off The Record" he revealed that four different artists are talked with for future specials. Then Dave gave a first reading from his Songbook book about how "Don't Come Around Here No More" came around:





When he first met Stevie Nicks (who just split up with Joe Walsh as he found out later) in 1984, she invited him to a private party consisting of not much more than "marching powder" and three more women. The song emerged when she asked Dave the next morning to better leave her house quickly after she just had sex with him (twice according to her) which was followed by some explosive situations involving Jimmy Iovine and Tom Petty. So much for a first appetizer, don't worry, not all stories are as delicate - more about the Songbook book here soon.
