What about her "Lindsey didn't really go for a solo career like I did and he should have. that's why he was upset with me" line???

I think she refers to LB always feeling as if FM was roping him back in as they did on TITN and The Dance - both of which were times he was doing a solo record. I think LB just takes/took too long, esp. then. La Nicks seemingly was able to whip out her solo stuff in a few months, whereas it takes LB a year a song

In the end, I think La Nicks' seemingly and comparative off the cuff effort pissed LB off to no end. I think that feeling is unwarranted because La Nicks did work hard on her solo stuff. She just had more people around her she was willing to listen to and let help her. Also, La Nicks made a success of herself without LB, which I am sure angered him as well.

Pure truth?

Thanks for the interview, it's very nicely written and the photos are great.

Yes...literally for the UTS album

the key words there are "willing to listen, and let help".

I would agree.

And - I have always said you can't rope the willing. In 1987, LB had a comparatively very minor solo career, and Out of the Cradle, while great, failed commercially. So, I think he saw TITN and The Dance as vehicles to put him back in the light, and they did, The Dance more so because he toured. Then SYW comes around and he does it IMO for the same reasons. Nowadays, I think he might do it again, but I doubt at his age he is willing to do so. But, you never know.

I also think it must have been torture for any male ego, much less his, to have a musically inferior person, much less one's beautiful and highly coveted ex, totally eclipse you in the limelight.

In this article, Sylvie Simmons appears to fill out new interview material with material she wrote for the very old "Confronting the Gates of Elmo" article on Stevie. It's kind of like what Stephen Davis did in Mick's book, only Sylvie is "borrowing" from herself (& Creem magazine).

She confirms (with a slight twist) only her own NZ story. Everybody in that band has a different NZ story, & nobody in that band had a NZ story until Mick created it for his 1990 book. Man ... Rashomon City over there.

if this is a recent interview, why didn't she say something about the fact that LB is trying to make up for lost time and actualy is working on a late-in-life solocareer without wanting to be big? He still corrupts a FM-gettogether as long as he works on his solostuff, probably untill far into 2008. Why doesn't she talk about the fact that -supposedly- SHE doesn't want to come back together in the SYW-line-up? Why doesn't she say anything on writing songs for future projects?

Why all this historygossiptalk and NOTHING new accept her good causes? How many people on earth according to her in interviews were going to KILL LB or wanted it or were going to do that?

sigh. she's getting old.

BTW: Thanks for all the work, sharon. You rock! (as usual)

Thank you. And hey, at least we got something new this time around: She ticked Lindsey off by singing through his solo. I'll add it to my NZKICKINGINCIDENT folder.

Thanks a million for posting, Sharona. Nothing really new, but I have to admit that I both snorted and laughed when she talked about her being able to forgive coke dealers because they needed money for food (come on), but can't forgive that shrink because he only kept her coming in to hear the Hollywood gossip. What the heck was she telling this guy?

That was my favorite part. Lindsey has a world of enemies. Or the entire world favors Stevie over Lindsey. Pick one.

Oh and hey, Stevie? Marie Antoinette sucked.

Oh, I know..what a bag o' bull****!
He probably asked her about the band once...

Just so you all know, I just made the scans a bit bigger for easier reading.

And Vanessa I found all the drug dealer stuff hilarious too. She must be the best gossip in the world if that doctor was determined to keep her on drugs for it!
