As a musician, Stevie had a great impact on my work. Stevie said that at 5ft tall,she had to wear clothes with big movement, so people could see her. I'm with you about the lost art of tambourines. Stevie was a heck of a tambourine player. My mother was a recording artist in the 70's and tambourines were a must for her on stage. In fact, she won several competitions for it so I was blessed to have her lay the tambourine work on my albums. Stevie never really left Fleetwood Mac, she just branched out. She once said that in a group like that, there were so many talented songwriters that a lot of her work wouldn't be heard if she didn't also have her own career. Prince actually co-wrote an awesome song with Stevie called "Stand Back", which was a great success. If you want some EPIC leg kicks, check out Crazy on You and Never, by heart. Nancy Wilson perfected it. I caught a couple spots of you on FUQ Boys with Black Pegasus and thought I'd check out your channel. Glad I did!!

Besides the love-gone-wrong tensions between Stevie and Lindsey , and Christine and John McVie (bassist), and Stevie’s affair with Mick Fleetwood (drummer), etc … the BIG source of tension was having THREE prolific singer/songwriters, and not enough room for everything they created for the band.

The song is about being attracted to a person just coming on 17, she sings "I'm a a few years older than you..." Itxwas originally written as the "Agecof Seventeen" but she decided that the edge of sounded better and it described the "emotional coming of age" that happens at that time which, by the way, is why so many songs talk about 17. Atc16, you're still pretty much a kid, at 18 you're supposed to be an adult but the "awakening" at 17 is just part of the human condition. These videos and all the stage makeup don't at all do her justice but, if you find just regular photographs of her, especially when she was younger and she is *breathtakingly* beautiful, just the most natural beauty. I saw her live in '85 and was eight up front at the stage which wasn't very elevated. I'm 6'5" and reached up as she did her "fan pass" and she reached out and touched my fingers, yes... She's that gorgeous up close. 😊

Originally, Fleetwood Mac only wanted Lindsey Buckingham to play the guitar. He and Stevie were together at the time, and he wouldn't join the band without her. Many years later, she did the CMT show Crossroads with Lady A. Hillary Scott was gushing about how much the members of her band love each other and how they never fight. I'm sure over the course of your career, you've observed that that's a rather unusual thing. Bands fight. And she asked Stevie if that had been the case for her with Fleetwood Mac, and Stevie was like, God, no. There was a time when all the couples were splitting up and no one wanted to be together at all, not even to make music.

Said he heard it couple years later on the radio and said "hey, Edge of Seventeen" then Sting's voice and said "holy shizz, we ripped them off completely!" He's a studio legend played on a million 70s/80's hits so he could get away with it anyway. The drummer was Russ Kunkle. Another studio legend. Played like a click track b4 it was invented!

Stevie has explained the meaning of this song like this. She met Tom Petty's wife, who told her that she had met Tom at the age of 17. Stevie misunderstood and thought she she said said edge of 17. She thought it was a great song title. While writing the lyric, Stevie was struck with two tragic events, the murder of John Lennon and the death of a close family member. The grief of these moments were intertwined into this masterpiece. It's not about sex it's about her love for John's music and for her family member.

Back then, 17 wasn't considered "legal everywhere", but MULTIPLE STATES had the age of consent at 16. BUT keep in mind that this was BEFORE the age of voting and drinking or buying cigarettes where changed. Keep in mind, the song was from 1981. Age to vote changed to 18 in 1965, but age to drink changed to 21 in 1986. So, during the 70's/early-80's, the age of 17 was still considered to be "sweet and innocent" but also "of age". Not to mention that you had the whole "sexual revolution" of the 1970's also included legal abortions and you would have seen the first generation where "the pill" was available to the public on a regular basis. Again, this was also PRE-AIDS, so you were looking at a bunch of different social views regarding "age of consent" issues. What you have is a mix of social views of "rebellion" (post Vietnam war), "liberation" (pill and abortion availability) and "age of consent" laws being split (16/17/18 depending on state, and even by countries today) and what people saw as a "more mature" youth due to NOT being "sheltered" as much as today's generation........ well, the "edge of 17" was seen at the time as "perfectly acceptable" in regard to being "active" as long as you were within at MOST 10 years difference. So, 27/17 was strange to see, but considered "tolerable". 28/17 was "creepy", but 23/17 was "okay". ESPECIALLY if the 17yr old was a male. If they were a female, then there was some more "reservations" able the issue.

Stevie is an icon! The voice is just simply one that is so easily recognizable & haunting. Great artists like Stevie captivate us and chills are a sign that what you are seeing & hearing is special. You are witnessing greatness! Many songs were written about underage relationships well before the 80's. Kiss had "Christine Sixteen", Ringo Starr - "You're Sixteen", The Beatles - "I Saw Her Standing There", Rolling Stones - "Stray Cat Blues". In the 80's: Stray Cats - "She's Sexy & 17", Winger - "She's Only 17" and the list goes on.

Fleetwood Mac had relationship issues within the band that led to some of their greatest songs. The band is back on tour (without Christine who passed away.)

OMG! Was that Waddy Wachtel on guitar in the blue shirt? Where have I been all my life?!? I knew he played with the more folk music crowd, but never realized he played with Stevie and Fleetwood! Man! Those session guys got around. He and Leland Sklar were EVERYWHERE!
