Around 44:00 they get around to him going to Chile with Stevie, which the interviewer gets wrong. Hernan says they went together to Chile after the album was finished. It was risky, because political situation was bad in Chile then and they had some bad experiences. There were curfews, and he and Stevie were out when they shouldn't have been. Got surrounded by cops with machine guns, and Stevie put their car window down and the cops put an Uzi in her face. Hernan had to talk to the cops to get away. Afterwards Stevie called her manager, and the manager called a US Senator, and then someone called the US embassy, and embassy called her and said you have to get out. And so he and she flew to Brazil.

47:20 discuss Stevie and his mom, the mom told Stevie about some lost love relationships that she had had etc. Stevie kept a notebook during that time, and she gave it to Hernan after they split up. How it all turned into Bella Donna.
49:20 he says the song Destiny Rules is the story of his relationship with Stevie, and is like a "postcard to our time in Chile"
50:00 the Tusk tour had to start and he knew their relationship was over.

Thank you Doug. Sorry I got Chile mixed up with Peru. I knew it was a South American Country. Sorry Villavic
I just remembered it was a country with really good blow.
