i've always seriously doubted this version of events. seems like revisionist history to me. Wasn't it Mick himself who said that Lindsey was aware of their attraction and called him out at one point (I think even before Mick and Stevie hooked up) saying "It's you and Stevie, isn't it?"

So yeah, I think with the passage of time, Mick's oldest girls got older and wiser, and then he had his younger ones.... she wanted a story that wasn't all "I just wanted who I wanted and I didn't care who I hurt" (engineer dumping his fiance, anyone?)

I cant stomach that one. When they played it on tour, my head started pounding and my stomach undulated.

Both could have been very interesting, indeed, with 1979 vocals on them.

I voted for this one. Bad 1990 vocal, but the song is very moving and surprise! it extends beyond the three chords Stevie knows. Rick probably added the diminished chord and the 7 chord, and that really helps the melody make an imprint on me. It makes the song sad.
But an undulating stomach is what you want when you're at a concert and you're ready to jump up and dance to the opening strains of Stand Back

Not David. He's not that funny

Yes I can see that. I was just saying what Stevie said. She could be rationalizing the relationship. In Mick's first book, he claims Lindsey confronted him for seeing Stevie when they were smoking a joint together. This was before Tusk. What is believable is Mick and Stevie being the biggest partiers and staying up the latest.

But then too, Mick used to stay up all night in the studio with Lindsey as well. Not just Lindsey either. If you needed him at 3 am to work on Werewolves in London, he was there. He might have been high, but he was there.

Not sure how he fit a love life in.

I've been listening to BTM a lot this week. I really like it. At the time it came out, I was "ehe" about it. But I really like Stevie's vocals and songs on this record. Christine's songs are very good and I really like Billy's also. I think the weak link might have been Rick. He did write with Stevie, but I never got into his guitar playing, singing or songs. Hard Feelings is really one of my fav's from this record and I think Stevie's "affairs of the heart" is one of the better songs she had written in awhile. It had a John Mellencamp feel to it.
