"Thousand Days"

[David]

"Thousand Days was written about my non-relationship with Prince," says Nicks, who had earlier composed Stand Back with him--although she notes he's never called her back "to set up his payment on 50 percent" of the latter. Days recounts an abortive, all-night '80s recording session with him at his Minneapolis home during a Fleetwood Mac tour, climaxing with Nicks "smoking my pot--he didn't agree with my lifestyle--and going to sleep on Prince's floor in his kitchen. I like him, but we were just so different there was no possible meeting ground."

--Billboard, April 18, 1998

Over the weekend, I was at Half Price Books going through the vinyl albums, and I looked in Around the World in a Day by Prince. My eyes fell on some lyrics to "Pop Life", which were:

"What U putting in your nose?
Is that where all your money goes"

I wondered whether this was about Stevie. It certainly illustrates the different attitudes they had.

Im pretty sure im in the minority when I say this, but I absolutely love the version that was put on Enchanted. Her SA voice suited it well. The RAL Demo I have I think is awful...She sounds so high.

The only concert I can think of that this might have been was Minneapolis Met Center on Sept. 23, 1982, which happens to be on tape.

Doesn't Stevie dedicate Landslide to Prince at this show, & then slyly say, "He couldn't be here tonight because the A/C in his home broke down."

I haven't heard a version of this I don't like. one of my favorites...and I do like the 80's "fast" version.
