Favorite Stevie interview and Why

[Macfan4life]

This is my favorite Stevie interview. Let me count the ways. I know most of us have seen this a million times but this interview is so freaking good for so many reasons.
The interviewer does not kiss her butt and asks open ended but direct questions. Very provoking without being rude. I hate those interviews where they are all high and its a love fest over and over. Great range of topics.

Stevie looks pretty good here and she is about to hit a wall and her problems cant be hidden anymore. Yes she is high here since you can see her rocking back and forth near the end. But she is frail and before her weight gain around the RAL tour.

Its so 80's OMG shoulder pads and that dress Those gloves are just way too much. Its so funny about her commenting how she has influenced Madonna and other artists for the way they dress. However this is 1985 and peak Madonna craze and she is wearing Madonna inspired marterial girl gloves. Too ironic! But its right before HUGE BIG PUFFY HAIR was in style. So she looks pretty good here. Her hair was soon to be a frizz pot.

We get such amazing pre-interview clips of her being annoyed she cant check her face (and nose) before the interview. She does not seem thrilled to do the interview but once it starts she is a darling.

The interviewer knows her stuff. She asks why RAL is taking so long and the debacle of recording in a Dallas church where the musicians had to be kept flying in. Stevie beats around the bush for the delay because she is lying to herself.

OMG Stevie knows so much about MTV. She talks about Cyndi Lauper's "money changes everything" video about her flying over the audience in a garbage can and about Christine's "Love will show us How" video and mentions the guitar on fire on the piano. Stevie was a MTV junkie!!!!

Fleetwood Mac is an unknown. She implies she really may not have time for them and says they are going into the studio in July (1985?). She tries to be positive and says if they want my songs they will have them and if it was meant to be, it will happen. But she is not very certain she has time for Fleetwood Mac. Its not very reassuring she plans to join them.

Stevie talks about touring Europe and these other pipe dreams. I am guessing but this interview must have been done early spring 1985. RAL is still being worked on and she says by July she should be on the road. Well it got delayed even more and got pushed back till November. There are huge changes in Stevie's appearance from 1985 till the end of the RAL tour. She talks about still working on songs with Jimmy Iovine so either she is lying or the interview is earlier than I thought.

My favorite interview. Anyone know who the interviewer was.
