Stevie Nicks, 'The Guest Who Wouldn't Leave' | Kristin Casey on Play That Rock'n'Roll

[davidirwin]

In the early 80's, Tom Petty threw a party at his home and didn't invite Stevie, but she came anyway, and he was quoted as saying, "I really do love her, but I wish she wouldn't come to my parties." Apparently, she had a reputation of overstaying her welcome with all her musician friends back in those days - a perpetual party girl and "night owl" who never went to bed until 6am.

Interesting it cuts off at the end where she mentions Stevie called the house to say she lost some jewelry. The book continues, Joe and Kristin tore the place apart for two days looking for it, when finally Stevie called back. "Never mind! One of her house staff had found the jewelry in her purse that night and locked it up safe."

Stevie has said that Joe really was the great love of her life.

I WOULD NEVER WANT HER TO LEAVE MY HOUSE NEVER NEVER NEVER❤❤❤

[SA-udnf]

it was because it was Joe Walsh's girlfriend that they wanted her to leave but if it was somebody else they would have wanted her to stay. That must have not been easy for Stevie or them but at the same time at least everybody was a trooper.

[katc]

My queen can come stay with me anytime and I would never ever ever want her to leave

[ValBoschi-ixcd]

she doesn't know why someone who is still in love with someone who's not in love with them, would be nervous to meet up with that person and their partner?

In the early 90s I became a friend of Stevie's in the craziest of ways. I am an actor and a male model and I was bit in the 90s during the explosion of male designer colognes (I was the first Drakkar cologne guy and I was 14 years old but, I looked like a young man) I also did soaps and teen dramas and films and I was dating a still A list but, I was in a conflict due to family crisis on the East Coast and I knew something was coming...I just went on hiatus for a TV series that was my first principal part. I played 2 characters. A dumb blond jock boyfriend type with gratuitous shots of me taking my shirt off and dead pan dumb one liners or slick my hair and I'm a British prick that is scary but, I'm protective and a damaged dude that girls and guys crush on the character. I have real blond crazy surfer hair that has a mind of it's own...and I have a deep voice but, my accent is similar to "old Hollywood" as my Nan was a maid/assistant to one of the Kennedy brother's family for 40 years and I've been in the public eye since Romper Room....So, I'm at this party in the weird Hollywood Hills...you know North of Hollywood Blvd going down toward Western...up in those hills it's suddenly like being in Bel Aire but, the homes are more old Victorian or Tudor...there was a big party with a range of A list to D list and there is pot smoke and lines and I had to meet some friends...my hair is unruly having just showered and put on deodorant and a dab of fragrance on my chest...it was cool so I had my long London Fog trench coat that's light and shirt, pants and 1/2 boot shoes...now I'm 6 feet tall...and Stevie was at the party in regular little strap heels not the stacked up boots...and her hair was flat. I walked by her and I didn't see her. All of a sudden this voice boomed out...deep and loud...Who is that that smells so Fuxxxing good? What is that awesome scent...one of my friends said Here he is!!! Now I was almost like my dumb deep voiced character...who? What?..next thing I know this little teeny tiny woman touches my chest area and smells OMG you are the sexiest thing I've ever seen and you smell so fine....and she made a joke about going to the bedroom. She was in a dark, dark place in her life. Her management and someone from her other band had her really, really down. She was being bullied, threatened by all the brass about the end of her career etc....they wanted her to change her sound and look and the FORCED her to see a doctor feelgood contractually...yes, seems implausible but, it's in the area of safety concerns and loss...So, she didn't have anyone really that could be objective and on her side that didn't know her for 100 years...and I would make her my scented oil mix and I last saw her in person in 2008 but, I get mail and I gave her assistant my oil recipe (egyptian musk, lily of the valley, patchouli, bamboo, lemon myrrh)She had rented this Encino house that had a waterfall...and the owner didn't care for the water thing that started to make her and I wheeze...we both have asthma and we are doing the steroid inhalers every time we hung out on her huge jellyfish pillows in her TV lounge and piano area....people would come and go....I remember singing harmony on a song called Real would have a hit of dope and laugh and talk about crazy things....this is what weed does to me...I seriously asked my friend Jackie who was with us on the jellyfish pillows that her cat could be related to Inez (a neighbor of mine in my Beverly Hills townhouse that had the old time teased us beehive hairdo that was pure white) I said they have the same hair color and Tash (her cat) was from Iowa and Inez was from Nebraska and they both have crazy name....and then we would mack out on food I'm dipping those crazy kosher pickles in honey or maple syrup....and they are like...OH NO....they soon were converts...When the mold that the waterfall was discovered she stayed in my townhouse....she has a pre packed big tan leather bag and an overnight....we both smoked menthol cigarettes' and kept odd hours it's nuts that we both smoked the same cigarettes and both of us liked hard liquor straight up she drank brandy I liked scotch or whiskey and we weren't getting hammered but we like the burn. I have a theory that people that have naturally deeper husky type of voices have sore throats that we don't realize until the end of the day and a strong slug just relaxes those tense vocal wish I took the same advice I gave being put down by a male band member I told her she was listening to the wrong music and that is in the wrong tune....and remember we made our own songs and melodies that we recorded while hanging out and healing.... that is your song....that is you.

I would so Stevie to spend the night or just live with me. LOL! There's no way I would want to get rid of stevie. It would be too much of an honor to have this beautiful angel over.

[virginiaviola]

Everybody loves Stevie, except the people who know her.

[MrQuebec]

Who jeeps track of whether someone goes to the bathroom…a legend wants to sing all night at your house - I would consider myself lucky. She has said that she doesn’t go to bed until 8 am more than once 🎉

[jimhaggard]

I wonder what year this was? The photo makes me think 1989.

[jenifermullin]

Ouch. I'd hate to get ...this hate.
Love You Stevie❤! If You come to My house, You don't ever** have to leave!
❤️‍🔥

[leew]

Who didn’t get (and didn’t deserve) any attention? Yeah, this NOBODY. Rock On, Gold Dust Woman! 🎩🕊️⭐️🎶

[UnbreakableGem]

Wow, what a nasty woman. She can't hide her jealousy under the fake smile and "the goddess! statements." I've dealt with these types so many times. She was the only person who wanted Stevie to leave, the others were coked up, having a great time, and begging her to stay. This irks me so much.

[shonarjoshi]

Kristin, I think it was very ungracious of you to share an anecdote publicly of a "guest" who has come to your house, a private venue. Had it been anyone who wasnt a public figure, you would never have bothered to mention this, apart from perhaps in some gossip session with your friends and so your intent to harm Stevie's image is very clear no matter how much you try and camouflage it. You seem to forget that artistes live in a world which has different rules to ours and the only thing they ask for is our trust - you have broken that for your 15 seconds.This story of yours reflects more on your lack of integrity than Stevie's eccentricity.

[rickvenlo]

Yeah yeah.
Ok.
Sure.
Everybody wanted her.
Your wanted her to leave.
Got it.

[danielbelardino]

Kinda inconsiderate coke was being passed around Stevie. It's good that she didnt give in..she was on the kpin high by then anyway mixed with pot and boos. She didnt need that devil powder anymore 😮😂

[marlalewissmoothjazz]

Thanks for uploading. If you have a second, I'm a jazz vocalist and I have shared a live contemporary jazz show on my page. As a fellow music fan, I'd love if you would take a listen. Hope you enjoy!

[lovelylotus]

Wow, how heartless, who benefits from being so nasty & trying to make someone look bad who didn’t harm you or anyone else
