I think they were referring to her bootleg company that her and her boyfriend had, before she joined the recording studio as a receptionist.

'I had a record company... ...we sold all over the world. we did...' I have the impression she'd said a lot more and probably explained exactly what her business was but it was cut out. May not have been interesting enough for the makers of this programme. |

For me, personally, it DID kind of suck having her (and later, one of her staunchest supporters) publicly call me out by name - in a post just dedicated to that - and insulting me, especially as she'd 'liked' what she then denigrated, and the information she'd been given, which caused her to say what she did, wasn't even accurate. She can claim it's a book for healing and for abuse victims, etc, but it doesn't really read like that. I'm very pleased if it DID help those who suffered abuse but it doesn't mean that every word in the book is magically true and accurate because of that. Someone being there doesn't automatically mean they're right and there IS such a thing as objective truth, contrary to what she and some of her fans seem to think. Changing details of what happened at the AMAs isn't a big deal in and of itself, and certainly it's not slanderous. However, I truly believe it was altered and facts were omitted and changed so that it portrayed a certain vision of the band - CAH and Lindsey isolated from the uncaring band, etc. In terms of how she writes about herself, I really felt a lack of self-reflection and growth, to be honest. I was told a lot about what she learned and felt, but the way the story was told didn't really bear it out. Quote:

I'm so with you both on the above comments. I think the same way. I find the little nuances so intriguing.

Can someone help me out? This thread caused me to have a slight interest in re-reading Storms, but part of the last page is missing. It's the page that starts out:
"Lindsey would often excise a small fragment of my angelic wing to use as a vehicle for the phallic, yet whimsical blunt he'd roll each evening, and I, not to be out witted by this abusive practice, would embezzle each and every guitar pick, from which to snort my blow, from his vast personal collection, set aside particularly and painstakingly before each show. It was I who was responsible each night as the bare skin of his fingers pelted the metal wire. Afterward, I recall with perfect clarity that I sneezed out of my own nose a sprinkled, frosted, cupcake and it was then I realized that whenever Lindsay left the room, Fleetwood Mac swapped out the blow for flour, cake flour, not self-rising as evidenced by the painful procedure of cheek implants just a few short yea..... How does it end??? On another note. I don't post often, but I really love it here.

The last page of the chapter. The last page of the epilogue.

I just remembered that I never fully understood them, I think they were meant to be cool metaphores but since english isn't my first language I find it hard to grasp the concept, there are too many in a row. |

I always thought that sounded ridiculous when I read the book. But about a week ago CAH was talking about this very incident on FB and John Courage made several comments about that moment in time, which all kept in line with CAH's memories of that incident.

I'm not sure whether that was a joke- but its funny (and pretty much true).

I read it online over the weekend. So much has been said about it, but I wanted to add something because I went through a series of conclusions and finally arrived at this: even in my twenties, if my boyfriend had committed DV against me I would have been out of there in a heartbeat. Carol Ann isn't mentally challenged. This isn't the Dark Ages; she could have booked anytime.
But to allow it to continue... plus, what about the road crew who witnessed the after effects? They just turned a blind eye? |

And again, speaking generally, yes other people ignore abusive behavior. Imagine you’re on a road crew, and you see a superstar slapping his girlfriend- who are you going to go to? HR? LOL! If you said one word in complaint, at least back then, you would have been fired so fast your head would have been spinning. Abuse is a horrible thing, and not everyone reacts the same way to it. |

If only domestic violence, especially in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s, was that simple. Also not commenting/debating that book or particular relationship.
