I can't remember the actual quote now, but I recall when Christine went to see the SYW tour, she said that they were all so tired and that Stevie came up to her and said how tired she was, but Christine quoted Stevie as using a British phrase for being tired and that was odd. But then people speculated that either Chris was paraphrasing or that maybe Stevie did use the British term, since she had been around Brits since the seventies and was talking to one.

The term 'railway station' is rarely, if ever, used in the US to refer to the place where you get on the choo-choo..but it's used commonly in the UK, and, in a FM song penned by Stevie.

Meet me down by the TRAIN station.. I've been a-waiting.. I'm through waiting for youuuuuuuuu.

Actually, that's a Buckingham Nicks tune. Pre-dates their joining FM.

"Railway station" is commonly heard in old country songs though, that Stevie was inspired by.

I've read a few of the British articles where they quote her using British terms, it bothers me just in how it reads - it doesn't sound like her. Especially when they quote her as saying "Mum" when you know she is saying "Mom". Saying "knackered" or "holiday" and maybe some other slang phrase I can understand. It does sound a bit affected...

Carol Ann said they all said "punters," because Mick commonly used the term.

Exactly, and what a coincidence, they're going to tour again.

It's not a coincidence. Perhaps they will tour again, but what I said was that they didn't tour with Lindsey from 1982-1987 or from 1987-1997. The big arenas and publicity, though more plentiful in the eighties than today, wasn't enough then. Maybe it's enough now. Maybe it's the only incentive now, but that hasn't always been the case.

Well, I did say "unless it was a transcription typo". And I was jumping on the 'parody' bandwagon, as others had mentioned it before me. 5 pages would be overkill for a parody, true. I liked the article, I think she came across pretty straighforward and funny.

loved this article, and thanks so much to sharon for typing it out with her little fingers

I'll agree, it didn't sound like stevie in a lot of places, but hell, it was still hilarious to read.

[crtrofthenight]

Wow, that was so candid. It's definitley a legit article. You can just tell it's her talking. I think she should seriously write a book. She'd be declared a living legend.

Yes, maybe due to the fact he now wants (or needs) to tour with FM, he'll finally learn to be more of a gentleman with the lady in the band.

I think it would be nice if they treated each other with mutual respect. Michele
