1977 Australian interview

[DownOnRodeo]

Lindsey: "The new album [ed: Tusk] hopefully won't take ten months [to record]."



Lindsey's voice is so high, like he'd just smoked helium instead of weed.

Note that Lindsey defers to the "ladies" to answer that question about women in rock bands. Ahead of his time there. Or just blanking from jetlag.

What a glowing trio.
As for that hideous butterfly (moth) background they put them in front of...

I love the way she says, "Chicken Shack"

She says the word …money…just as I do.
I have my leg pulled by my family all the time, for pronouncing it …munay..
….Midlands accent..

The brits also say, "Fweetwood Mac" if listen close.

You can tell Stevie was offended by the idiocy of the “credibility of ladies in a rock band” question. The way she turns away from the interviewer towards Lindsey with a face like “can you believe this twit?” Christine’s response is amazeballs—calm, cool, yet politely withering, while also complementary to her and Steve’s trailblazing.

See I think Chris looks WAY more annoyed! I see it in her eyes. And her incredibly funny, I was in the band for quite some time as a lady. Lindsey also seemed shocked by the question and immediately turns to Chris.

That moment was my favorite of the interview along with Stevie almost perfectly predicting the amount of time it would take to record Tusk and Lindsey saying it would take that long

Wasn't Heart well-established and successful by this point?

By 1977–yes. But the question was regarding Stevie’s entry into the band as a “lady” and Christine’s presence long before that. 1975, Heart was working towards their imminent breakthrough. They, too, experienced sexism. The song “Barracuda” was all about it.

Bottom line: Chris was a singer and player in an established rock band years before the 1976 breakthrough for Heart. She wasn’t objectified the way many male critics and PR folks objectified the Wilson sisters. Stevie was a sex symbol, but her image was more mystical than siren.

.

Well according to Mick's book "That summer, we took a break from recording and embarked on the Penguin Country Summer Safari 1978 .... By early 1979, many of the songs for the new album had been dreamed up and were in various states of production.".

And Tusk was released on october 1979. So in calendar terms, including the breaks, post recording production, etc., it took more than a year.

I love it. Its so 70s and if you were alive then you can relate. Lindsey's shirt is a keeper too. In the 70s butterflies were everywhere from patches on jeans, black light posters, and bumper stickers, T shirts, etc.
The backdrop fits perfectly with their outfits. Its 1977 of course
Have you seen 1977 living room furniture?
The TV sitcom Threes Company debuted in 1977 with their iconic butterfly picture on the living room wall.
I can almost smell the pot that reeked from that butterfly moth background
