Gold Dust Runaways

[Fannymac]

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I was just reading "Queens of Noise", a pretty decent book about the Runaways. Imagine my surprise when, around 3/4's of the way through the book, the author tells of Kim Fowley bringing Stevie in to meet the girls. Stevie then went on to offer them "Gold Dust Woman".....which they turned down!

Now, there are some holes here.....first, what in the world would Stevie be doing hanging out with a ultra low-life like Fowley?? Second, this would have been Spring to Summer of '77....RUMOURS was already out, which means Stevie would have been offering them an album track on the hottest album in the country at the time. I find it hard to believe that either the band or Warners would go along with that!

Anyone else hear this previously?
