A couple of years, three at the most. But she had already started her Klonopin addiction by then.

Gotta agree with whoever mentioned Lindsey's pseudo-orgasmic howling during a live version of Not That Funny. It's the one part of the 1980 live album that I can't bear to listen to, and I'm infinitely glad that the song has now been removed from their set.

I'd also name certain parts of Tango as low points, namely, WTTR...S, Family Man (I like the music ok, but the lyrics or lack thereof are downright embarrassing) and of course, Whazzamattababee.

And I like Big Love as much as the next person, but I cringe when I hear the grunts, especially toward the end.

As far as recent stuff....Lindsey abusing his guitar doesn't do much for me, especially when he starts swinging it around like some headbanger. And Mick's "vesturbation" act is amusing for about the first minute or so, but it goes on waaaaaaaaaay too long.

The one thing would be my receipts from tickets, hotels, merchandise, plane tickets, etc. They would $h!t a brick! And so would I if I sat down and added up how much I've spent and what I'm going to spend in the future.

Now that's something to be proud of. I think my friends would appreciate the intensity.

I'd be afraid to show the "I Can't Wait Video" even though some of my friends would appreciate the 80's cheesiness of it.

I'd also be a bit apprehensive to show them the Mirage video due to Lindsey's ridiculous outfit, and his hair is a bit too long to be wearing it in that style, but I digress....

Another cringe-worthy Lindsey-live moment is the screaming and wailing in Not That Funny (if that's a realistic LB orgasm impression, I feel sorry for Stevie, Kristen & the others....!)
I agree with these too.

Whoever said Gyspy off of MIrage tour, that's a good call too. It's not good live. And Stevie's voice is too husky as well on that one. Although I love showing her on SOTM. She blows me away with that satanic scatting.

Then there's "Dancing Alone", the vocal tracks from the Dance w/o back-up. Ouch all three of them sound tired and flat. Thank God for sound engineers and pitch controlled production!

What is that? Dancing alone? So, ws i right all along all those years ago that the Dance was Lip synced? Are there any Mp3s of this?

Im surprised no one mentioned this one LOL: That short 1981 interview from Stevie's Behind the Music. It looked like some morning interview where Stevie had been up for days on a cocaine binge. She was so trashed. Her hair was permed to a nest. She went on and on about "Jimmy says U have to be strong now Stevie, if you must do this, you are no longer the little egg protected by Fleetwood Mac anymore". Give me a break lol ! Its like Stevie was acting like she was the Virgin Mary or something and she was SOOO important to the world.

Who can forget those possibly Wild Heart Rockline interviews. Well it was some radio show. I have a cassette of it somewhere. Well not only is it obvious Stevie is COMPLETELY wasted, she even says something like "why is it 12oclock in the afternoon and im still up" LOL!

My best friend saw Stevie in Birmingham AL in 89. During Edge when she gets down to cackle in the mike she got down all right. She couldn't get back up. The 2 guitar players had to stop playing for a second and lift her back up. Ive talked to many people over the years that saw Stevie fall down and fall off the stage during the Rock A Little Tour LOL .

Really? I kind of like that one, i think her hair looks better than average. Because if you look again, you'll see she has a PERFECT stephanie powers/Hart to Hart super-feather....one big swoop back.... but i did think she was, uh, exceptionally self serious about what she was saying.

Okay, how about last year's Today Show performances? You had to be a diehard to sit through those (though the novelty of Stevie in coat & scarf might amuse some casual fans).

And just think, those lousy performances were being used to sell the new album. No wonder it hasn't gone platinum!

And let's not forget the Leno performances. They were terrible to sit through.

So disappointing. And just a few years ago Stevie & Lindsey were so fun on Letterman. What a waste of opportunities.

They should've gone on Letterman, IMO. Stevie is VERY talkative and friendly when she's on Letterman (they were married, after all ) and that version of Big Love they did a few years back was chilling. And she REALLY let loose on Rhiannon, too.

I can't tolerate Leno, he's so unfunny and obnoxious.

Agreed again. Stevie looks at him like he's from another planet. Though she was hilarious with Sheryl next to her.

Didn't they cut to commercial when Stevie did Rhiannon? I remember being pissed.
