Yes and he has mentioned it too. Sorry don't have time at the moment to go digging thru all the archives (getting parents into long term care is the priority at the moment). But yes, it's been mentioned more than a few times over the years in different interviews and such that she sent him tapes of stuff she was working on, demos, whatever and he would give her feedback (not EVERY demo, but plenty). Tom mentioned that he'd get stuck helping her with something and then Lindsey would come with the solution. I don't know why this freaks people out; Stevie is....how did she say it not long ago...she believes in Stevie, the church of Stevie... this is a woman who changed literally ONE word on someone else's song and demanded writing credit so it wouldn't look like she wasn't able to write a song. Smoke and mirrors friends. Yes she's talented and all that, and I actually love her, but she needs and has gotten a crapload of help behind the scenes to maintain the facade. I kinda don't blame him if at times he didn't do his best on one of her songs when she came crying to him for help thinking he'd always bail her out.

I'll never understand those two. Okay, supposedly she sent him demos frequently. But she told that when she gave him her album Bella Donna (I think it was in France?), he completely ignored it, and that hurt her, etc., etc... If that's true, do you expect me to believe that after that she sent him demos of any Wild Heart or Rock a Little song? And that he helped her on some ocassions? Well, we already know Stevie changes stories depending on his emotions, whims, or memory lapses—who knows. That's the only explanation I can buy. Either that, or they've both always been nuts.

I mean about the 80s. I accept he could help her sometimes this century.

She FIRED him from the band. F her. And he's a neutered kitty cat for begging to go back. Lame AF.

Had the album been released on literally any date of any year at any time, Lindsey would say it "somehow" felt fitting and cyclical.

Oh yes. I meant early century, definitely before 2018. Now when he implies there is some interaction with her, I want to think they were civilized negotiations and agreements to release the BN album. After all the bloodshed it would be pathetic if it were about being happy friends.

well yes, they've both always been nuts.

THat's why people have to stop trying to understand them and their relationship as if they are normal people living lives like any of us. They are not. They are both spoiled brats who do things on a whim and their entourage of butt-kissers will just go along with it.

She gave him a SIGNED COPY of her album.....as if he's some random fan. I don't actually blame him for ignoring it. How diva of her. If she was genuinely trying to thank him (there are old songs on it that he'd worked out the arrangements for over the years and she just handed to Jimmy) she should have found a more personal, sincere way. Dumb dumb dumb.

You can believe whatever you want. She sh&ts all over him and he comes back for more, and she knows he will. So yes, when she gets stuck on a song, she sends him a tape. You can send a tape and the other person can send a tape back and never really have to sit in the same room or hang out. It's pretty simple. He clearly likes that she still needs him and no one else can be the kind of musical "soulmate" as he calls it that he is. She'll do whatever she needs to do to be successful. If that means sending him tapes, she'll do it no problem. She won't say it to the public, and usually he doesn't either. Again I find it amusing that people can't accept that their relationship-- whatever it is --doesn't fit how "normal people" live life.

Because they fell in love with each when they were only teenagers, they clearly still love each other, and that will never die!

Stevie has been a "Star" all her life and unfortunately for her, this has sometimes been to her detriment.

Not comparing her particularly to Elvis, but Elvis was quoted to have made these comments on fame:

"The more famous you are, the more isolated you become".
Also, "The image is one thing, the human being is another".

Though to be sincere, his (young years) older brother Greg is the most handsome

I try not to criticize a person’s looks, even celebrities, because I’d rather see a person age somewhat naturally rather than distort their features in an attempt to look younger. Having said that LOL I wish Lindsey would quit doing whatever it is he’s doing to his hair. It is not doing him any favors, to say the least. He looks great for a man his age, so it’s confusing why he would choose that particular hairstyle.

Look at Bill Murray. Look at Keanu Reeves. Look at Sting(I've sat next to him in a dive bar). They go out like regular people. Stevie CHOSE this hidden, sheltered life she's lived for the past half century. NO ONE EVER WANTED TO BE FAMOUS, MORE THAN STEVIE NICKS. I guess part of that is acting like you can't interact with normal people.

Her life is actually kind of sad. That she ended up like this. I guess fame was her only baby.....

Yes Stevie was going to be famous no matter what. Was it Keith Olsen that said she was going to be a superstar or a nobody. There was nothing in between.
Remember in the late 90s or about 2000 Stevie leased excerpts of her journal on the NicksFix. She wrote almost every day reminding herself "Walk like a queen."
Lots of work goes into her presentation and image.
