Pissed off Stevie interview; Can't believe I've never seen this

[petep9000]

The whole arguement thing back then always made me sort of scratch my head anyway. The whole point of 'TimeSpace' was to be a retrospective of her solo work, not of her FM contributions. Weird too, only 3 years prior in an interview promoting the green 'FM Greatest Hits' package she said "well it would be ridiculous for me to put out a Greatest Hits album, I haven't had enough hits." But, I'm digressing.

Modern wanted Timespace to sell and sell big. That's why they dragged in Bon Jovi and whatisname from Poison. So, it just seems so inconsistent that a long-buried 'cult' FM song, a b-side, would even be considered for this package. No 'Rhiannon'? No 'Dreams', which was the only #1 single for the band? No 'Gypsy' or 'Seven Wonders'? Why would she have thought that 'Silver Springs' would have made sense in 1991? She's said in interviews that her real talent (I guess, besides songwriting and singing) is sequencing albums (!). So with 'Whole Lotta Trouble', 'Love's a Hard Game to Play' and other clunkers, she was going to weave in 'Silver Springs' in there? Shudder.

Well, it all worked out in the end. She dropped the pills, made up with Mick (the 'great love of her life') came back big in '97 and got to hear a live version of 'Silver Springs' get some airplay.
