Stevie and Lindsey

[Nikolaj]

Since there's a thread and all for this, I've wondered about the meaning of the famous 'packin up, shackin up's all you wanna do' line... It could mean:
a) he's packing up because all she wants to do is live with him and not commit to marriage
b) she's packing up because she wants to go shack up with other guys and not with him!
c) He's packing up, because she's been shackin up with someone else behind his back

I always kind of took it as reason (a) but it really isn't clearly stated, is it?

Or, for anyone who's seen 'Postcards From The Edge' I could pose this query as,
"It could be: 1.... 2.... or (c)" ** or was it, "A...B...or 3"-- whichever

I think the line means that sleeping with someone and then leaving is "all you want to do". And the term "shackin' up" would refer more to sex than cohabitation. Stevie said Lindsey knew that line was not true even when he wrote it and insists she never shacked up with anyone else when she was with him.

I think the packin' up shackin' up is her always wanting to go on the road and have that wanderlust. And then there's the solo career. There was a certain restlessness about her back in the day when she lived for her career. I think she's learned how to relax and slow down now. It goes back to what I said in the other thread about her seeming aversion to long term romantic commitments.

We always seem to analyze their relationship, but I always thought that it was "a". She just didn't want to get married & he did. Lindsey wanted the traditional marriage with kids & stay @ home wife & Stevie just didn't want that. So she ended it & it took years for Lindsey to get over it. I always thought that they was a possibility that they were ever so close to getting back together around The Dance time, but I think Kristen stepped in & kind of ended that notion.

As for Stevie's & Lindsey's relationship today, I think they like each other, respect each other's work, work professionally with each other, but that's as far as it goes, JMO.

I'm thinking nothing went on between them for sure after she gained all that weight. And had the implants removed. And menopause. I'm sure she was very self conscious.

Stevie and Linds have known each other for so long. They have memorized each others face. They sing very well together. It's gone on so long it's just what they do. So enough already about their love affair...on to more important things...who’s ready for Linds to tell us about all these stars Stevie used to embroider on his pants and the food she cooked him? Did he or did he not have a job? Did she wash his dirty drawers? Did his guitar have it's own pillow?

His guitar probably had it's own bed and he and Stevie slept on the floor!

Oho! But his guitars are of a hearty constitution. They aren't pampered or babied. Sure, they're stroked often, but also very used to being pulled, thrown, hoisted aloft, battered.

One of you asked (maybe in some other thread) whether Lindsey had any job during the Hungry Years.

How much session or for-hire work did he actually do? I know of the brief tour with Everly in 1974, & the studio session with Kathryn & Duffy & the Enemies List -- on "Pre-Impeachment Blues" & "Nixon's the One."

What else?
