The 3 Great Loves of Stevie's Life

DownOnRodeo · #1 06-13-2003, 10:57 PM

This has probably been discussed before at some point, but I'm curious about that quote about Mick: "He was one of the three great loves of my life."
Even if she was waxing to hyperbole, and even if she has more than '3 great loves', what would they be anyway?
I'm assuming that one was Lindsey. But who is the other?
Don? (shudder) Jimmy Iovine? (she did have a romance with him didn't she?)

Joe Walsh has to be the third, along with Lindsey and Mick (blech). I'm not sure who would rank higher, Jimmy or Don. I'm sure she once felt abandoned by each of them, but she has since mended the fences. After them, I'm guessing Rupert - I think she really loved the geezer. That photo of the two of them in TOSOTM tour book, just the expression on her face as she looks at him. Does anybody know what broke them up? In the TimeSpace days, she wrote that something happened to him that made it impossible for them to be together anymore. Anybody know what she's referring to?
(BTW, I'm the next one on her list, she just doesn't know it yet. Lindsey who???)

I'm not sure but I think Rupert was married when she made that record. So what broke them up? Mrs. Hine's frying pan probably.

My guesses would be:

Lindsey
Don
Mick or Waddy

She speaks very highly of Waddy in the Timespace liner notes.

My guess is:
Lindsay
Mick
that guy she married?

I think Joe Walsh was one of her great loves. Find it hard accepting mick as being one... ewwww. Lindsey without a doubt

Egads. If Mick truly is one of her three great loves, she had better be measuring on a logarithmic scale!

Logarithmically speaking:

1. Lindsey (because she said that what she shared with him is as close to be married as she will ever be)

2. ?? Not sure... have to think on that one... could be someone we don't know

3. Mick... only because she said so. ::shudder::

I would say:

Mick
Joe
Rupert

I don't think Stevie even wants to admit to herself that Lindsey is on that list....even though he really obviously is. I don't think she really counts him cause of all the bad memories she has. But come on now, you can't write so many love songs about someone and not have them on that list!!

She did say "great" loves so now I'm not sure if she's talking about Lindsey! I mean they had quite a turbulent relationship, I know they "loved" each other for quite a while but it was rarely a positive relationship. I'm wondering if in that quote she was talking about the most passionate loves of her life, not necessarily the longest lived. In that case, Mick and Don would definitely be up there, maybe Lindsey too but I don't know.

I can't possibly imagine that Mick is a great love affair for Stevie. I would have to say Lindsey is one and probably Joe Walsh and my third one is ("six weeks in a foreign country, how the time flew") Bob Dylan.

In the recent article in Classic Rock Mick is quoted as saying 'Stevie and I were, of course, an item for quite some time' and then Stevie says 'That relationship we had all those years ago was so short that it didn't have time to build up any animosities and jealousies. It began, it was, and it was over....Mick and I's affair was like a little dream.' I found it quite funny how their versions virtually contradict each other! Personally, I find it hard to believe that Mick was one of Stevie's great loves. Not to mention a little bit gross!! lol

No way is Kim Anderson one.
They were married for the baby, for only three months, apparently they haven't spoken since, their religious convictions didn't jive, and I cannot imagine that they even once slept together. (Wish I could say that about her and Mick. Blech.)

I still say it's Joe, Lindsey, and Mick, though Joe, Lindsey, and Rupert make more sense. If she hadn't named Mick, I wouldn't put his name on this short list.

Gldstwmn, I'm not doubting that Rupert was married, but that still doesn't explain what Stevie meant when she said something happened that kept them from being together again. Unless she means the wife showed up and shot his "Mick-woodens" off.

Gem, you are so right there. I think Mick might like to believe that he was one of Stevie's great paramours. And Jake, if you rmember most of the TOSOTM was reocorded in the "Castle" in LA. That cost, what was it, $25,000 a week or a month? I can't remember now and then they flew to London for two weeks or so to finish the record. I'm thinking Mrs. Hiney was in London and that's the something that kept them from being together again. I don't know. Marriage is a loose term in the music business.

Or Stevie is a loose term in the marriage business.

Ouch.

I think it was hard for her to be friends with Lindsey because he made it hard because he was so bitter. One day I really would like to know the whole story behind their relationship. Like why on earth he is now getting down on his knees every night in front of her pleading. And why did she tell him to stay away? Something must have happened b/c before she was just smiling and laughing when he would play around like that with his head resting on her shoulder.
