Loved the lunchbox story.

The thing I want to know is why do they all come back to Mick?!?

Like, ALL of them?

Did Mick watch Back to the Future one day and think "Oh that's a great idea. I can just fax somebody when they're fired, easy peasy!"

OTOH, I also would consider uttering “I wish I was with REO Speedwagon” a fireable offense.

And, I’m still trying to wrap my head around Stevie accusing someone else of over singing.

That he fired her and put that REO comment in the fax is actually amazingly funny! But also shows how terrible he is and also how obvious it was that he knew The Dance was happening and didn’t need that crew anymore.

As for the oversinging thing…I immediately thought of the Hold Me version on the Mirage Deluxe release. I actually played it today and cracked up at her having the audacity to call someone else out on oversinging. And the blonde comment - lol sit down Stephanie. I’m sure it was the klonopin talking

I thought of “Talk To Me” from Red Rocks. And then “World Turning” from Tango. Not arguing Bekka could over-sing, but at least she did it well.

This was a great interview and what a nice surprise too. She has a great pedigree in the business and lots to talk about. She was brave joining FM. Lol. Loved the comments on Chris and Stevie. Chris really was a special person and Stevie is Stevie

Probably because he’s a nice guy, and none of them are as bothered by things he’s done as some of the fans are. Seems like they’re all at peace with him and have let bygones be bygones. And likewise, Mick has probably done the same.

I found this interview to be incredible. This interviewer really does his homework! I even loved the questions about Bekka’s time as a back up vocalist on Belinda Carlisle’s tour. I can’t believe Bekka was only 17 when she did that. N the concert that was released on VHS and later DVD, Bekka is quite prevalent.

I haven’t read the entire interview yet, but I’m going to later. So far, it’s must read.
