Was Benmont Tench in love with Stevie?

[vermicious knid]

I keep thinking that I once read on the internet that Heartbreakers keyboard player Benmont Tench was in love with Stevie. If I did not just make this up, I am thinking it was not a quote by Benmont himself, but told by some other fellow musician. Does anybody remember reading something like that?

Every guy who ever met Stevie was in love with her. She has an exquisite femininity and all that.
But no, I never read that Benmont Tench (coolest nerd name ever) was in love with her.
Glad I could be of help.

I have met Benmont and talked to him about Stevie. I could see him having a crush on her..in the beginning..now they are close friends. She wrote IMPERIAL HOTEL for Benmont on RAL. FYI Benmont is a stage name. His REAL name is Benjamin.

IN-teresting!!!

"Well, you can get her
But you can't keep her
And you can't catch her fall
She will call you
When she needs you
You know where she lives..."

I found a picture of him, here: http://www.mollythomas.com/Photos/mol&benmont1large.jpg

He was a heartbreaker, wasn't he!

Stevie & Benmont used to party at the old Sunset Marquis, & that's the pseudonymous hotel of the title.

Yes I do. I think it might have been David who said it.
