Either way she wrote the song Bella Donna while in Chile and later said something about how it was inspired by his mother (I think this may be in the BD re release liner notes). Then the band went into rehearsals for the Tusk tour and she broke up with him prior to the tour under the excuse that it's too hard to maintain relationships when you're out on tour for over a year and you don't see each other for long stretches and she gets lonely on the road. She kinda broke his heart (I think isn't he the one who broke of an engagement to someone else to be with Stevie?).

Not sure who all she was with during the Tusk tour, but it was after that, when she began prepping for BD, that she hooked up with Jimmy and they were together until she went off to work on Mirage after the BD tour ended.

Somewhere after that while doing WH she kinda hooked back up with Jimmy but then hooked up with Kim and married him, but divorced him just as they were heading out on the WH tour. There's a tv interview from then where she talks about how she can't stop the tour and just has to move on from the marriage. Joe was her opening act for the WH tour and she hooked up with him and they were together the whole tour after which he seemed to think they were done but she hung on for like another couple years.

Somewhere along the line there she also hooked up with Waddy.

I think Jimmy banged on her door the best, because Bella Donna is my favorite (by FAR) album from her.

Wonder if he could still pull an album out of her like that?

probably not after she was on whatever talent show that was as a coach with him and as she gushed on and on about Lindsey until Jimmy said "yeah, we get it, he was gorgeous" or something close to that and she tried to make it up to him by complimenting his "darling little body"... he just waved her off like 'forget it' at that point.

STILL, Idiot $tevie didn't make the MASTERPIECE that is BD.

Her little poetry didn't make that the monster that it was.

Somebody did. It wasn't Lindsey.

Didn't it have to be Jimmy?

I've said forever, that BD sounds like $tevie fronting the Eagles. It's absolutely perfect. And y'all know how much I hate her now, so that's very high praise.

She should have clung to Jimmy like stink on a pig.

She was also with Paul Fishkin during Tusk and he was the one who pushed her to do a solo album. She later said he was the one that understood her and her life the most and would probably have been the one to settle down with. Something to that effect.

She was with him long before that though. She was quoted in People in the year end issue 1976 (as one of the year's most fascinating people) that she was seeing Paul then (1976). They were long broken up by the time she did BD.

Dates seem to align that she went with Henley right after Lindsey (and of course whoever she was "shacking up is all you wanna do" with while with him) and while they were still making Rumours, but that was off and on and each saw other people while they were apart. (Mick said same thing about his relationship with her, that they were each also seeing other people all throughout).

Henley, then Fishkin, then maybe Curry while on the road touring Rumours??, I still don't know where JD fit in exactly, Mick somewhere by end of Rumours tour, [who knows who between him and Hernan], somebody(somebodies?) while touring Tusk, then eventually Jimmy to begin BD, breakup with him while starting Mirage, who knows who during Mirage album and the tour, then on/off with Jimmy again while starting WH, then marry Kim, finish record and divorce Kim, Joe on WH tour, then Joe and whoever all else after the tour... somewhere in there was Les Dudek as they worked stuff for RAL, (Waddy's in all this somewhere), then eventually Rupert Hine, and then I was getting out of college and starting my career etc and lost track of her scorecard.....

When we went to the Fleetwood concert at Irvine Meadows that year, we joked about how she was the only person in rock with FOUR exes onstage with her: Mick, Lindsey, Don, and J.D. (She hadn’t yet hooked up with Joe Walsh but soon would.)

For all I know, maybe Glenn, too, which would make five or six.
