He did say some funny things about Bella Donna. I think in one of the Bay Area Music (BAM) magazine cover articles in 1981, he said that he liked his album (Law and Order) better. Big surprise there.

Stevie was asked about Law and Order in 1981, and she said that it had some beautiful things on it (I think she was referring to “Trouble”) but also said it had some stuff that “wasn’t her.” I would imagine that most of that album “wasn’t her.” Imagine Stevie’s first impression of “Johnny Stew” or “Bwana.”

As I have said a million times, they are two very different animals in terms of their musical proclivities.

One of the reasons Lindsey has done great work with her songs is that he’s probably one of the very few people who have spent a lot of time tinkering with them in the studio. I don’t think that Jimmy Iovine, for example, spent more than a few weeks getting “Edge of Seventeen” into its final form, and most of that effort came from the guys in the band just jamming on the E chord. Her solo albums aren’t orchestrated the way Fleetwood Mac orchestrated music — with painstaking bits of sound dabbed on the “canvas” until the right vibe was created. Lindsey made great tracks out of “Gypsy” and “Gold Dust Woman” because he spent months on the vibe creating all-inclusive little sonic worlds with just the right 6/7.

Incidentally, could 6/7 derive from the old phrase “at sixes and sevens” — in chaos?

Lindsey also called Stevie's solo concert a "lounge act."
