I went to the website of this radio show, and they have shows available for download, but you have to buy a membership. I would like to hear if he gives details on the "explosive situations". Incidentally, this is the second time that some cad has gone on the radio to talk about Stevie's private matters. Apparently, Joe Walsh did the same thing on Howard Stern.

Well, I guess you could toss Don Henley into the mix as well in terms of "cads" who have aired out private matters. But Joe was an absolute raving drunk that Stern took advantage of at the time. Joe's cleaned up and been sober for quite a while. Stevie & Joe have managed to rebuild fences since that time. Stevie is "Sister Honey." 'Can we still be friends? The answer's always yes.' That's a Stevie Nicks trait that amazes me to this day.

I don't really know what he said since I only read about it second hand. Something vulgar about how she was only a road lay.

He is the love of her life according to a recent Stevie interview......come on Stevie you can do better than him!!!!!!!........ I don't get it ....all of her male relationships have remained friends......how does she do it???????

I was just saying I bet Stevie had a man in her life, some torrid affair, and bingo, I was
on the Soundstage review part 2, like oh my but really Dave Stewart?????

I disagree with judging a potential lover/relationship on looks alone and actually consider Dave Stewart to be attractive - he certainly is a lovely guy, not to mention immensely talented - but if you're wondering about a physical attraction, legend has it that the guy is rather well built downstairs if you get my drift. Remember, he and one of the most incredible women in the world, Annie Lennox, were an item for quite a few years.

I remenber reading in 84 in the star magizine that Dave Steward hung out at
Stevie's house and it was a wild party. So you can only imagine what transpired,
but I think cocaine was talked about in a round about way. Also I listened
to the Joe Walsh interview with Howard Stern, the interview was shortly after
they perform for Clinton. He said some mean things. Howard wasn't nice either.
One question he asked Joe was, when you did Stevie was she fat? And yes he
said road F - - K, I got annoyed and stopped listening. I can't stand Howard,
however I wanted to hear the interview and what was said about Stevie. How she
can forgive him amazes me. But it is her life and I am sure we all made mistakes.

What I want to know is what were the explosive situations involving Jimmy Iovine and Tom Petty? She was already broken up with Jimmy and Tom was only a friend.

Didn't Stevie just say that she hasn't seen Joe since he broke up with her?

We know she's seen him. They were at that $10 million dollar Bat Mitzvah, weren't they?

Indeed, Joe was there. And, according to a fan who gave a review on The Nicks Fix, he was also at Stevie's concert, backstage, during the Cleveland at Blossom Music Center, and Stevie acknowledged him there. (6/25/05)

So Stevie likes Joe and is in better graces with him than she is with Bob Welch?

Crazy.

And Stevie just did that Platinum Weird stunt to help promote Dave Stewart's band. This is the thanks she gets.

There was a poster on RMASN that loved the whole Platinum Weird thing (David O. knows who I'm talking about). I wonder what she thinks about it.

You bring up an interesting dilemma, Luke, but it might be a faulty dilemma. I don't know that Stevie likes Joe better than Bob Welch, but she certainly spent more time with Joe in the past, calling him one of the "great loves in herlife," the only one that she would have given up everything for; but after their falling out, she didn't LIKE Joe for a long time. (although perhaps there's was some of that "tiny spark" somewhere in her heart for him; past relationships are so complicated!)

But regarding the incident that Bob brought up on The Rumours board recently, Bob has indicated he isn't absolutely certain Stevie even got his message. Stevie has helped Bob out on several occassions professionally, according to his Q&A here on The Penguin. Bob was already well known, building on his own name and career in his own right after leaving Fleetwood Mac. Stevie was a mega name in the biz at that time, even according to Bob, within and outside of Fleetwood Mac. I don't know if Bob ever offered help to Stevie on her albums or touring, as he had his own stuff going on. Joe was an opening act for Stevie.

Dragging other Eagles back in for a moment- Don Henley & Stevie have certainly collaborated over the years- and Don is on three of Stevie's songs that I can think of (Leather & Lace, Highway Man, Reconsider Me)--I don't know of any Joe musical collaboration with Stevie. Anyone see them on stage together at all during The Wild Heart tour for anything LIVE? And former Eagle Bernie Leadon helped Stevie out with acoustic & electric guitars, mandolin, and background vocals.

I think he might be the one playing guitar on One More Big Time R&R Star. And on one of her tours, possibly TOSOTM, before performing Has Anyone Ever Written... she would say "this is a song about a real scary man in this scary world of rock and roll."
