Best of Stevie on BTM

A few months later she hits the road with her boyfriend who she calls the love of her life. Let alone her husband was her dead best friend's husband.
Even in the crazy rock and roll lifestyle, this takes the cake. No wonder Don Henley hung up on her when she called him to tell she was getting married. Prince's associate was told to keep Stevie away from him at a party just one year before this. Didn't she also supposedly bang Brad Jeffries who is supposedly gay? Now THATS getting around
She bangs she bangs.

So now you're slut shaming? Got it.

You know, back then, the whole world wanted her (thus the song, Sit On My Face, Stevie Nicks - how many people have a song like that written about them?). It would be hard(pun intended) to not sample the finer wares sitting on the shelf. Although after AIDS reared it's ugly head, it was pretty dumb to continue her conquests. But when you're high AF on blow, you don't care.

She had the best and honest reason for seeing Mick. Those 2 were the hardest partiers and would outlast everyone. They were the last ones up who wanted to keep going. Soon after all that party and only 2 left awake, they started messing around which developed into something more regular. I've heard of beer goggles but she must have had coke goggles on

BTM was the first Fleetwood Mac album I owned and the one that turned me into a fan — specifically of Christine. In those first years of going back through their back catalogue, her songs were the ones I gravitated toward most, which makes sense because I think BTM is primarily a showcase for her and whet my appetite for more of her wonderful style of writing and singing. I don’t think there’s anything on this album that could make a new Stevie, Billy or Rick fan of anyone. Their material isn’t bad, but it’s all kind of boring.

Christine was carrying the band at that point. I mean, Rick and Billy did what they could, but they were newbies.

On the whole, BTM is a very boring album, save for a hand full of songs.

i've always seriously doubted this version of events. seems like revisionist history to me. Wasn't it Mick himself who said that Lindsey was aware of their attraction and called him out at one point (I think even before Mick and Stevie hooked up) saying "It's you and Stevie, isn't it?"

So yeah, I think with the passage of time, Mick's oldest girls got older and wiser, and then he had his younger ones.... she wanted a story that wasn't all "I just wanted who I wanted and I didn't care who I hurt" (engineer dumping his fiancée, anyone?)

Yes I can see that. I was just saying what Stevie said. She could be rationalizing the relationship. In Mick's first book, he claims Lindsey confronted him for seeing Stevie when they were smoking a joint together. This was before Tusk. What is believable is Mick and Stevie being the biggest partiers and staying up the latest.

But then too, Mick used to stay up all night in the studio with Lindsey as well. Not just Lindsey either. If you needed him at 3 am to work on Werewolves in London, he was there. He might have been high, but he was there.

Not sure how he fit a love life in.

I've been listening to BTM a lot this week. I really like it. At the time it came out, I was "ehe" about it. But I really like Stevie's vocals and songs on this record. Christine's songs are very good and I really like Billy's also. I think the weak link might have been Rick. He did write with Stevie, but I never got into his guitar playing, singing or songs. Hard Feelings is really one of my fav's from this record and I think Stevie's "affairs of the heart" is one of the better songs she had written in awhile. It had a John Mellencamp feel to it.
