Bet she could out Diva them...hehehe...and i don't think she could out fight them, but she could probably out bitch slap them...but she never would, is the point.

Stevie's a lady, she wouldn't punch a french cop, and especially i don't think she would lay in the middle of the road. *shudder*

(I stood there and was waiting for the lightening bolt to strike the person......KKRAAACKKKKK!)

While I certainly wouldn't want to piss Ms. Nicks off, I honestly don't think she could out-fight Chrissie. Hell, I can't think of many people, men and women, who could do that. Chrissie's an all-around tough chick. And honestly, who here can see Stevie singing something like "I'm too precious, f*ck off"?

That really made me laugh. Stevie is SO not Joan Jett. I mean, for God's sake, Stevie is the fairy princess in the forest and Joan is a dyke in a leather jacket. But, I digress (before anyone gets their politically correct drawers in a bunch, I am a big ole homo and can use these terms).

The flip side is, I think Stevie is much more fierce (when backed into a corner) than most of us realize. I don't doubt that she could kick some butt if she needed to. Though it may have been drug induced, she did dive from the stage onto that security guard's back years ago...

About two or three years ago, I turned the New Year at, speaking of ball breaking women - Lea Delaria's pad in NYC Lea was Wddie (Meat Loaf played it in the movie) and Dr. Scott (TIME WARP ANYONE )- Joan played Columbia in a facical but GREAT Rocky Horror Trust me - although very very nice nice, the both of them can whip most asses I know and/or know of and JJ is about five feet tall in heels

Exactly.

Listen to a Pretenders album next to a Stevie one and you can easily see who the tough bitch is.

I saw that FIVE times on Broadway.

Best. Rocky. Horror. Ever.

Blasphemy! this album was, IMO better than Bella Donna. It is my all time favorite and the epitome of Stevie's solo career.

I prefer the rock version, not the version that appeared on the album.The song is dark and didn't benefit from the techno-funkified mix on the record. It was much better as a guitar driven song.
I could sing it back in 1986 but now is a different story.

wow, I didn't understand any of this, until Diss answered and shed a tiny bit of light on it. Except, i understood the words "meat loaf" and "five feet tall"
What's up w/that? what's a Wddie?

OF COURSE you spent a New Year's Eve with Lea Delaria and Joan Jett. I would expect no less. I am sure your outfit was fabu.
When it comes to Theatre, I'd usually rather eat a gun than step foot in a play or musical. However, I bet that would have been worth seeing.

Lol, Spark. However, i might also make an exception for Lion King...

Ooh. Is that version available for download anywhere? I don't think I've heard it.

LOL - I do not know either of them at all and still do not - but they were there and we threw it down

I got there because a friend is an actor in NYC and we were out with some people in his then play (off Broadway and you never heard of it ) - one of them knew, I think Lea. So . . . we all got invited and there we were. I was in a brown shiny Prada Shirt and black Prada pants with my black cowboy boots and looked FAB. At one point I did have a red carnation affixed somewhere - but where I am not tellin


I will probably never forget that night.

Now LAST YEAR was the NYE party though. I was again in NYC and my friends had a HUGE party. There were Rockettes there (we did high kicks to Merman ) and then at some point after midnight I stopped kissing whomever (what was their name ) and then the next thing I know this woman from the New York City Opera was singing IN FULL VOICE the suicide scene from Lucia. I then followed it with a slurred version of who the hell knows what (this is in a room full of theatre people mind you ) poured myself into the car and was driven home to be followed by "Excuse me sir - WAKE UP - you are home"

Oh Well - Life is a Banquet and I am going to that same party this year

BTW - RAL rocks and I love it

I haven't been to NYC for NYE since 1985 ! All I remember is champagne, a huge crowd in Times Square (it was still dirty and real NY then....) wearing my leather pants and doing a ton of coke. It WAS the 80's, after all. If I decide to go there this year, I am tracking your ass down, dude.
