American Songwriter Q&A

I found it pretty interesting. I thought the interviewer had some pretty refreshing questions, for the most part. Stevie rambles a lot. She says she can never remember whether Dreams was on the White album or Rumours of all things to forget.

Tangle In The Night is such a complicated album.

I wonder if Stevie actually SAID that, or if it was just transcribed wrong, haha.

OMG, this is my favorite interview EVER!!! Fascinating stuff. And:

what you’re doing is, you’re vibrating the gunk off of your cords, because literally, you create a vibration

I love her for this.

[bombaysaffires]

She certainly is blabby but she knows it.

I just love the "Well you're an idiot" part in the about Don Henley and Dreams.

[Gypsybecca]

So which generation is Stevie from? Is she from Henley's generation or Stewart's generation? She can't be from Dylan's generation, because in Stevie years, he's about 19 generations behind her!

I think she probably said Dangle in the Night.

Love it! While she's recycling some of her IYD talking points, the fresh little tidbits here and there like her dishing on her intimate conversations regarding her songwriting with Don Henley are priceless. This story reminded me what a pretentious A$$ Don could be & a similar story she told in an interview years ago while writing "Leather And Lace" for Waylon & Jessi while dating Don. He would come in while it was a work in progress and tell her NO, you're going in the wrong direction and give his unsolicited advice treating her like an ingenue. I'm glad she stuck to her guns.

That's hilarious.

Tango and tangle are not that far apart, when you think of the metaphor that Lindsey was going for, in the night. But your dangle also works, too!

Honey is acidic. I guess that's why it works well to kill germs.

Loved how she said "Lindsey is very much aware," in answer to whether or not he knew ELY was about him.

Interesting that he thought the Dance audience was old. Lindsey, no one had seen you for 10 years. Why would college students be running out to hear someone who hadn't performed since their childhood?

Great interview. Her rambling and circular language just cracks me up.

[michelej1]

And Don was like, "Don't say drownding, with the emphasis on the 'd'."

[APerfectLie]

"when was “Dreams”? Was “Dreams” on the first or second record; I can never remember"

Oh Stevie...

[LilyRose]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets Rumours and the White FM album mixed up.

This was great, thank you for posting. I loved the washES argument. Don't think the song would be the same without washES, sorry Don.

[GoldDustWoman22]

I love that! Her sense of humor never fails to make me laugh! I love the Don argument...and of course the kicking Waddy comment
