Back to Tom: There are such parallels between Stevie and Tom during this era. Stevie's Rock A Little album was delayed for almost a year due to the craziness in Stevie's life. Tom's Southern Accents album was also delayed about a year due to personal problems. During the recording, Tom punched a wall and broke his hand and was not able to play guitar for a long time. During this time Tom was mixing with Dave Stewart who admitted during this time he dropped acid all the time. The Don't Come Around Here No More video has subtle hints about these acid trips. In the video, Dave is on top of the mushroom as the mad hatter at the beginning of the video.

There is a video of Stevie on Stage with Tom and Bob Dylan in Australia that used to be on youtube. Stevie looks horrible. Her voice is so raw and it looks like she bought her clothes at K mart. Can you imagine the amount of partying and drugs that were flowing at these shows

I was there and I hate to say it but Stevie REALLY looked and sounded terrible, Bob Dylan was performing at the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, when Stevie randomly just came out on stage. At first i didn't recognize her, but the voice kinda sounded familiar so i zeroed in, as i got closer you could of knocked me down with a feather .. i thought what the hell she has changed soooo much since last seeing her... Anyway im glad we all survived the good old 80's, just the way things rolled back then the never ending party's ..
