Have never heard then or since that she faked out the band with it. Color me skeptical.

Its weird because I had the same initial reaction that you still have and others had. Then I started to think that we are so used to the guardedness of the band and cat fights that your brain could never picture Stevie doing such a thing. But looking back to those zany videos that her and Christine would make while they were high and drunk made me remember the funny Stevie. I think up until Wild Heart is when she started to go into this cocoon and management knew she could not promote albums or do interviews. Look at all that David Letterman fiasco. Her management was terrified that he would egg her to come on the show. They could not stand eachother during Mirage and then when Lindsey left klonopin controlled her for many years and there were no jokes. Then you got angry Street Angel Stevie. A year later Christine warned Bekka not to do any Stevie songs. Then the insane Stevie firing Lindsey. Its hard to remember the fun party girl that did have a sense of humor. Remember drugs were not a recognized problem yet and it was all fun and games especially at the peak of her career without having separate management.
