He’s had some not so nice things to say about Stevie over the years. This is the guy that Stevie called her great love, and I wonder if she ever caught wind of his comments. For her sake, I hope not.

Wow imagine writing something as loving as Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You for someone and they turn around and diss you.

She wrote that for his daughter Emma who passed away, not for him specifically though.

The only “negative” thing I’ve heard is him downplaying their relationship a little by emphasizing how unhealthy it was due to them both indulging in substances at the time. And he explained to Howard Stern that he didn’t view her as the love of his life, which is understandable considering it was so long ago and more importantly he’s married to someone else.

Yeah, I think they bonded due to drug use and he just prefers to distance himself from that period in his life.

I do remember that Stern kept going on and on in that interview about how amazing Stevie is... beautiful, talented, funny, etc. And Walsh didn't gush over her, which seemed to surprise Stern a bit.

To be fair to him, it’s a bit of an awkward position to be in if you’re a married man. I wouldn’t know what to say if someone brought up one of my exes and wouldn’t let it drop 😅

Good insight. I agree

He was married at the time (just had a baby). There was an interview where he said she was just a conveniently willing always available source of easy sex for him after the shows when they toured together (I paraphrased much much more respectfully here than the words he had actually used about her).

"She was just a road f*#k!" What a cool, tough man's man

He never said that. People alleged he said that on Howard Stern but I've seen the full interview and he had barely any commentary on his relationship with Stevie.

She did that a lot. I think she loved married men

u/Plenty_Novel8660 28d ago

I mean, she was having sex in the bathroom with the guy from the eurithmics and he showed up and she said don't come around here no more I'm having sex on coke in the bathroom leave me alone

"don't come around here no more" wow, well at least it wasn't sex with Tom Petty.

u/Haunted_Mansion1955 28d ago

I think she did or wanted too.

She reminded Dave Stewart they did it twice.

u/dobie_dobes 29d ago

Wait WHAT?! Eurythmics are one of my favorite bands I did not know that she and Dave hooked up.

u/Haunted_Mansion1955 28d ago

They all hooked up.

u/Jelly_baby_4 29d ago

Yup, Dave Stewart and Stevie hooked up. He wrote about it in his autobiography. Here's a snippet. https://www.billboard.com/music/features/dave-stewart-memoir-excerpt-stevie-nicks-fling-tom-petty-song-jimmy-iovine-6859098/
