Petty Talks About Stevie

[bombaysaffires]

there's a really interesting interview with Tom Petty in the current Men's Journal. He talks about both Lindsey and Stevie.

He says that after working with Lindsey on some stuff for a movie soundtrack he asked Lindsey to join the Heartbreakers because he was sick of being the only front man in the band. But it was Stevie who reallllllly wanted to be in The Heartbreakers.

He says she showed up at his house 'every night for a like a year' and then she just followed us around on tour. He's like "every f***in night". They would get the word that "Stevie's in room such and such" and he said they just gave her a totally hard time about coming to sessions or whatever, make fun of the clothes she was wearing and stuff. He said the fact that she stuck around was amazing.

Isn't really all that flattering a picture of her actually.

There's a kind of highlights of the interview bit on their website, but not alas the Stevie stuff. For that you'll have to check out the mag on the newsstand.
