She was going to write a book in 1985? - Page 2

Thanks for posting! I thought it was a pretty good interview. I would love to have read that book. As for the rest of it, no reason to take the whole thing so seriously IMO...so she liked her painting and wanted to share it. Art is art regardless...some people will love it others will hate it. I thought it was pretty good. LOL...and there is a lot of very famous art out there that looks like a kid painted it.

THANKS for this video. I've noticed that Stevie is wearing lace gloves in two different colours what I haven't seen before! Any pics???

Jeffrey Christ always seems to come up with some very interesting and rare postings. I've never seen this part of the interview before.

Stevie looks, and IS incredibly bewitching here!

As for the book, maybe she realized that it would be one not completely finished. She had more to say. Her life's story was not done yet. I'd rather have a complete book rather than one with just a few chapters. As we all know, there was a lot more to write about than just what happened up to 1984. I think we'll get that book, and a much more complete book than the one we would have gotten then.

Thanks for posting the video EnchantedKiwi!

Thanks to whoever uploaded the video and thanks for posting it here!

I wonder if this was filmed before or after Stevie broke up with Joe? The way she answered the love question made me think after because she didn't really go into detail.

What was the name of the planned book in the mid 1990s? Mark & Brian asked Stevie about it in 1994, I think (& she pretended to know nothing about it)?

"Stories, Poems, & Drawings"?
"Stories, Songs, & Poems"?
"Poems, Paintings, & Prozac"?

Something like that?

I think it was that third one.

Anyway, the uploader has this video dated as August of 85. That can't be though because Stevie is not talking like it is 85. From how she talks it sounds like Jimmy is still in the picture.

I have my bets on late 1984. Stevie doesn't look how she did in the "Rock A Little" era. Her speaking voice is not like how it is on some of the 1985/6 videos, for example the Molly Meldrum interview. I'd be really surprised if this was actually mid-1985.

Right, when I said speaking voice I meant in the context of her life. Jimmy left before RAL was finished, and I got the impresion he was still a part of her life during this interview. Also she said RAL was not right yet and she spent a lot of time trying to find out why. RAL came out on 11/18/85. Stevie doesn't know when RAL was going to be released during this interview, so I'm sure it can't be just three months before the album was released.

Yes she looks basically the same as she did at the Purple Rain premiere and that was in July '84, her hair seems a bit longer so I'm going with somewhere in the fall of '84.

She's been showing the same few painting's since 1981 passing them off as new. They all look ametuerish and I used to be tickleish.

I knew what you meant. I'm saying her voice sounded different later, like more gravelly. Here it still sounds slightly "Bella Donna"-ish, like someone mentioned. I agree with what you said though, she doesn't even know what the single is. If the album was nearly due for release, all preparations would be on promoting the single and album.

Thank you for posting this video EK. I actually liked seeing the drawing--she sees Sister Honey as some sort of angelic 3 dimensional being. I'd love to watch this video with Stevie today and get her take on how she saw herself at that time. If she puts a book out, I'm sure it will have some pictures that she has drawn--other illustrations of songs she has worked on. I'd love to see it.

Pieces of this profile aired on MTV in 1984. I remember specifically the "I rocked in my cradle fer sher" line & the bit about Prince being influenced by Stevie's fashions.

It was the year she was supposed to have toured the United States with Julian Lennon as opening act. She was expected to co-headline with David Bowie at the Anaheim Angels Stadium earlier that year, but she canceled her tour to pull her album together.
