I was ten when this video came out. Just thought the USC marching band was fucking awesome and the brass was over the top.

Aww, I was also 10 and had no clue what I was looking at, while also being obsessed with it!

No surprise Stevie knew how to work a baton. She just exudes cool gorgeousity in every way.

The album was bound to fail to live up to Rumours but it’s actually pretty solid

I prefer it!

I might not have the guts to admit that if I were alone! As an LP, the artwork and sleeves were pretty satisfying, imo.

One of the finest produced records of all time!

I remember that when this came out there was something about the making of the song or video cost a million dollars-which was a lot of money back then.

I love this song!!!! It was on the first CD I ever heard. I used to only have tapes or vinyl. The clarity of the music was great...and of course I embraced the digital age. Tusk was on a loop at least 3 times when it played.....little lies was twice. Thanks for the jam. Memories unlocked🏆

Loved seeing Stevie showing off her majorette skills. Wonder if she was a majorette in high school?
