I think Stevie would think she is doing a good thing for her friend Mike in his time of need and won't ever see it how many fans are seeing all this. Same if she got Benmont involved. She'd see herself as a kind of savior.

Why doesn’t Stan like her?

I'm not sure because it's the first time I've heard that, however I do remember that Stan didn't get along very much with Jimmy Iovine so it may have something to do with that.

dunno. But it's in the authorized Tom bio as well. The biographer mentions Stevie and Stan was just like "Don't get me started on Stevie Nicks" and not in a good way.

Benmont loves her. Someone in the Stevie forum posted a link to an interview with him where he talks a fair bit about her and how he started working with her on Bella Donna because Jimmy asked him to sit with her and work through her songs with her and figure out which ones he thought were good and all that (seemed like so maybe he and Jimmy could compare thoughts afterwards). He flat out says he loves her and says that how you think she is, she is.

I had heard numerous reports that when she toured with them (forget which tour-- maybe Australia???) she forbade anyone on the crew etc to look at her or talk to her. I also recall on some tour or other that Tom would not let her and the girls ride on the same plane with him and the guys (no girls in the HBs) but he did hire a separate private little jet for them. And they stayed on a different floor in the hotel.

I seem to recall early on when she was wooing Tom to work with her she started basically following them around from city to city attending shows (not necessarily on his dime for that round).

So maybe all the fan girly stuff wasn't for Stan and he felt she was distracting him from the business at hand.

Stan Lynch was fired from TPATH by Tom Petty. But unlike what happened to Bob Welch, Tom invited Lynch to join them when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Here is what Tom Petty said about Stan:

Because she's a FULL of herself fairy dust spurting wackjob that's why.

What are Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, and Ron Blair going to do now that Tom is dead? I don't think they'll sit around the house OR become just session players for other artists.

Benmont did several shows on his own last fall after Tom's passing, and I just got an email from the Highway Companions Club yesterday that said he's scheduling solo shows later this month in LA.

that's what should have happened in the first place. instead of breaking up Fleetwood Mac to mesh up SN and HBs. instead of the fakewood tour, not after.

If it happens, it'd be multiple artists, not just Stevie. Sorry Stevie, you're not Tom Petty! or Bob Dylan!!
