SN on Joe Walsh

[I know she mentioned Joe in the recent round of interviews and said he was the love of her life, but I didn't remember this full quote, so hope it's not a repeat]

Former rock couple STEVIE NICKS and JOE WALSH were so hooked on drugs during their romance, they feared they'd die if they didn't split.

The Fleetwood MAC singer dated Eagles star Walsh during the 1980s and describes him as "the great, great love of my life".

But they both began taking cocaine in vast quantities and Nicks blames the drug for ruining their relationship.

She tells People magazine, "There was nothing more important than Joe Walsh - not my music, not my songs, not anything.

"We had to break up or we thought we'd die. It took me years to get over it. It's very sad by at least we survived."

Yikes. That doesn't really sound like a healthy relationship. You know, aside from her mentioning they thought they were going to die from drugs...

Joe Walsh? Love is what it is, but he's always kind of repulsed me. The again, there's not one member of the Eagles I could ever find myself attracted to even at their physical peak. Like Joe's music but, eh...

Never underestimate the power of an inscription on a water fountain coupled with a vial of cocaine. I mean, haven't we all been there?

Ah. Love at first sight.

From a man's point of view (and what good is that) I would have thought perhaps Randy would have been the better looking? Maybe we need a poll

Never got what Stevie saw in Joe Walsh, but then, I never got what she saw in any of the other guys, either. Seems to be that she always fell in love with these guys, as opposed to just lust.

I remember reading this Michele and have a few interviews where Stevie speaks about Joe Walsh, calling him the most important love in her life. There's a bit of pragmatism in Stevie's relationships, in addition to love. She is attracted to guitar players, which is certainly practical. Joe cleaned up pretty good back in the days before excess:

Yeah, I've seen her do that too. And I've seen her talk about the love of her life, without mentioning his name, but this comment just came out.

From the different Contact Music excerpts, I think there's a recent People magazine interview that we haven't seen published in its entirety yet.

Michele

Lust is for mere mortals.

UK BBC Radio 2 Dj Stuart Maconie, talked about Stevie and Joe tonight on the "radcliffe and maconie" show.

They introduce stories from the world of music in a jokey often mocking fashion on every show. The Stevie and Joe story was introduced in the usual mocking fashion, (including the usual "special roadie" gag) but then seemed to take the story seriously.

Dont know if anybody else in th UK heard this.

I have this irrational hate for Don.

Even before I knew about him and Stevie, I couldn't stand him or the Eagles.

Stevie thinks everyone is the great love of her life. Lindsey, Mick (ew), Joe, Paul, Tom...

Ok, I looked at these pictures and...just, no. No. He's not attractive to me in the slightest. In fact, I would take that skeletal little Tom Petty over this dude. He just looks really sleazy.
Something about his eyes. And the hairstyles are bad.

I'm sorry I have to say it, and face it you'd expect it coming from me, Lindsey Buckingham was by far the best-looking man Stevie has ever been with. And he still is.

Plus, he's still a cokehead.
