This was posted a while back wasn't it? I've definitely heard it before.I thought the same at first, but I don't think so. I know there was another radio interview up for download, but she talked about the Tusk tour/New Zealand incident in that one, which isn't this interview.

That was here:

I just loved listening to this. Thank you so much for sharing it!

PG: Stevie Nicks, thanks for joining us.

SN: Thank you for asking me...to join you. (laughs) (they both laugh)

PG: Well...

SN: I'm tired, if I'm a little punchy it's like, you have to forgive me.

PG: That's alright, I know it's an odd cliche isn't it, joining us in conversation.

SN: Yes.

PG: Yes. At the Melbourne Cup, did you bet any winners, did you have any money on the race at all?

SN: Well, yes I did. I totally wanted [horse name, something Diva] to win, I knew she was going to win, and I let everybody else talk me out of just betting on her...so I did that, the 6th bet, you know when you bet horses, so ofcourse I didn't lose or win. But I wrote in my journal the night before she was going to win, so I have proof, written proof that I was behind her. My mother, however, said I wanna bet on horse 8, which was...aaah, Excellent, so my mom went.. So she was thrilled, I called and woke her up in the middle of the night and said 'you're the only one that won'. So, I was, you know, a little educated going into it, I did my homework and I watched all the racing television from - I got here last Friday morning and I watched solid racing television, right up to Wednesday. So I felt like I knew what I was doing, you know, I think that's an important part. If you are gonna be a part of it, you should study up on it and not just go like 'I love that name' (said in a childlike voice) and bet on that. I'm thrilled, I think it's fun and I think the whole culture of the crazy gamblers and fashion people and horse lovers and animal lovers, it all makes such a nice thing. Where everybody - It's like a big massive encounter psychology group. I think it's beautiful, because it brings out the best in everybody.

PG: Yeah, it's nice to be able to be here too, and not necessarily on a working engagement, but just to enjoy yourself. I know it's the launch of your tour, but to enjoy that particular part of it.

SN: Right, right. Absolutely.

PG: Let's talk a little bit about your history. To me, in having read through your background, it seems like you were always a hard working girl, who was devoted to her family. And like everyone else, you got memories and some pretty tough bagage, but I wonder just how freaky it is to ask yourself just what would have happened if Mick Fleetwood didn't make that phone call that day, to you and Lindsey Buckingham.

SN: Well, really, you wonder what would have happened, because I was aah - I had had a discussion with my dad about six months before that where he had said, 'you know if you wanna go back to school, we'll start supporting you again', basically. They hadn't been supporting me for 5 years, I had been really working and supporting me and Lindsey, and the BuckinghamNicks album had come out in '73 and it was dropped like a hot potatoe by Polydor. And so we felt like we were back to square one. I was, you know, a waitress and a cleaning lady -which I didn't mind doing, because of made it that I could actually enjoy and have fun doing that, but at the same time, it was starting to come to a point where I was going like...I hate this being really, really poor. And I am thinking about, you know, what am I going to do with this? So, my father said, if you want to go back to school, we'll re-establish support for you and you can continue to do your music, because they supported my music totally. They knew that and saying 'we'll basically also support Lindsey too if you wanna go back to school'. And we were right coming up to that 6 month mark when Mick called on January 1st 1975 and said - well, actually, it was on New Year's Eve, 1974- and said 'we would like you to join the band.' It wasn't like 'Will you?' or 'Would you like to audition?', it was like 'Will you join the band?' and it was 'you and Stevie', they never said 'we just need a guitar player' or 'we already have a girl singer'. They said 'Will you join the band and rehearsal starts basically day after tomorrow.' Sight on seeing. So, from that moment on, you know, it is history. If they hadn't have called, I don't know what would have happened.

PG: It's on of those things that will haunt you for the rest of your life I think. What if, what if?

SN: Yeah.

PG: And it was just based on that one album. He managed to hear some of it I guess?

SN: Hm, hm. Our producer, that had produced BuckinghamNicks, had played him a little of it. Keith wanted to maybe produce the next Fleetwood Mac record, if and when they got a new guitar player. So, he was really showing...you know, just played them a little of Frozen Love, and I don't know, maybe one or two of the other songs and Mick was like 'these guys are great'. And Mick was being...you know, Mick was always the one coming up with the new members, so being smart as he is was like 'ok, let's see, Lindsey, Stevie and Christine singing, well this could be like that Crosby, Stills and Nash amazing three part harmony thing'. Plus, Lindsey is a great guitar player. So, I think in Mick's mind he kind of knew exactly what he was doing.

PG: I know you believe in destiny and I can't help but go along with you on that, having experienced something so remarkable as you did there, but I want to try and prove to you that I think that it is really because you're a hard worker that did it more than destiny. Because to me destiny is saying that you, me, we, all of us are pre-destined to walk a certain line, that there's some kind of control in it. And that's what you think still?

SN: Right, I agree. I do agree. And you know, for me, my personal destiny...if for some reason we hadn't have joined Fleetwood Mac, I don't not believe that Lindsey and I wouldn't have still made it. I believe that we would have still made it. It would have been as BuckinghamNicks. Because we, in fact, after we joined Fleetwood Mac in January, that March we went to Birmingham, Alabama, -me and Lindsey and our band- and played for 5000 people. At a sold out -and 5000 people is a lot of people, especially when you have been playing to nobody. It was huge, so I think we could have broke our record out of the South. That's what we would have done, we had that little thing that happened, but we were already in Fleetwood Mac, so it was too late to turn back at that point. But that would have happened anyway. That offer would have come in to us, with or without Fleetwood Mac, and the Mac, benevolently, let us go and do it. So, at that point, we actually really felt even better, because we knew that we would have been okay anyway.

PG: See, having read a lot of what you've done with your life, it appears to me that you worked really, really hard in the early days. As you said, you were doing the cleaning, the waiting, and all the time you were still maintaining your song writing skills and supporting Lindsey Buckingham along the way.

SN: Right.

PG: And it was a lot of work. I think to anyone who works that hard, something's gotta come good, hasn't it?

SN: Yes, it does. And I did work really hard. I never minded working, because I couldn't even imagine a job that Lindsey could do. It was like, was I going to ask Lindsey to wait tables? I don't think so. Was I going to ask Lindsey to go and be a tele-marketer? I don't think so. So, you know, I was never resentful of that. And I enjoyed getting out of the whole, you know, 'sit around and play guitar all day long every single day' and I was going out and having fun actually, with other people. So, I kind of enjoyed it and I think that kept me a little balanced, because I did have something else to do besides just sit around and pray that we made it as rock stars. And I was always busy, you know, I kept very busy. When we joined Fleetwood Mac though, the day we joined Fleetwood Mac...I will tell you a fun little story: I said, I will never look at another price tag. And I never did. I had not been able to shop, for five solid years, I had not been able to go in and buy a new dress or a new pair of shoes, or anything, because really, we had to spend our money on... basically, on food. And paying our rent. So I said, I will never look at a price tag again. And I really haven't, because in my heart, I know I can always get another job, so even if I spend all my money, I know I can find something else to do the day after tomorrow, and I'll be fine. So I've never worried about money since.

PG: This is ABC radio. I am talking with Stevie Nicks and Stevie's about to undergo a tour in Australia, early next year. The launch of which was really round about Melbourne Cup time, of that particular tour, the Gold Dust Tour. Stevie, you created a look for your image in Fleetwood Mac as well, so there was quite an effort on your part as well, I guess, into fullfilling your destiny in marketing yourself that way, creating that imagine, wasn't it?

SN: Right. Ofcourse, you know, in the beginning I never thought about it that way. But what I did think about, that I think was very smart of me, as a 27-year old woman, was...I thought whatever it is I wear now, I would kind of like to still be wearing in 20 years. So, I am going to put together an outfit that would work when I was 45, that will work when I am 27. Because *I*, unlike say somebody like Madonna, who is a kameleon, who loves just completely changing every year, going from platinum hair to black hair, *I* am not one of those people. I prefer to keep my eye make-up the same, my hair very similar, my outfit very similar. I went to the kind of frilly, chiffonny, urchin, edgy, you know, skirty kind of thing and then wore really heavy boots with that so I felt that grounded that kind of ballerina outfit. And I loved it, and I knew...I think I made my mother try on that outfit at some point. She's 20 years older than me. And I'm going, my mother looks really cute in this outfit, so that means that this outfit works for everybody. Ofcourse, I made all my friends try on that outfit, and everybody looked good in it. So I thought, this is a good skirt, leotard top, great boots, and I can stick with that. Then I don't ever have to spend a lot of my energy thinking about what I am going to wear as opposed to thinking about how I am gonna sing, or what songs I'm gonna write, or how I'm gonna put the set together. You know, all the things I really want to spend time on. I really want the fashion thing like done and over with, so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

PG: So when you flick back in your mind, back to the days you used to sing with your grandfather, who was a country and western singer. I think you did your first song with him when you were about 4 or so...

SN: Hm, hm.

PG: I wonder what it was like. Do you ever sort of just put yourself in that space again, do you ever wonder what you were like back then and what you are now, and how everything is transformed through those years in your life?

SN: I remember very vividly, in Opaso, Texas, when I was in the fourth grade, my granddad driving up, in this old pick-up truck, with a ton of 45's. Some little record store had gone out of business, and he had just bought like a 150 45 vinyl records. Singles. And he and I sat on the floor, and probably over a couple of weeks listened to every single one. I was so thrilled, first of all with the fact that he had brought them to me, and second of all that he was interested enough to sit down and play them all for me. And that's when he and I started to actually kind of sing together. But this is not when I was four, this is when I was in the fourth grade, and we sang a song called 'Party Doll' and we sang it in harmony. I will just do a little bit of it for you. So it goes: [She sings Party Doll]. This is me and my granddad singing that in harmony. And from that moment onward, I was a harmony singer. Because he sang the melody, he would sing right along with it, and I would sing the harmony. So, I instantly knew I wanted to sing, even as a little girl. You were talking about when I was 4...my dad owned a bar in California, in Los Angeles and I used to stop there on my way home from, I don't know, kindergarten or first grade. I would stop and go into the back and my granddad'd be there and my dad'd be there and my mom would make enchilladas and other kinds of food for this little place that they had. My granddad would stand me up on the little bar table and we would sing and I'd like tapdance. In my little -I don't know what I was doing- tapdancing mind. So, I was dancing on tables when I was really little. Everybody knew that I was an entertainer from the beginning, so there was never any question and I think that was probably why my parents were always so supportive of what I did. Because they knew that when you love something that much when you are a very little child, that they're pretty much stuck with that. They just said to me always, if you go to school, we will let you take a little bit less school so you can also do your music.

PG: You've had your ups and downs, you had all kinds of things happen to you in life, and probably not the happiest things have happened from time to time, but you had the family behind you. And you had that massive believe in yourself and I think that's what made it happen for you. And it was all that hard work that you put in as well, a self fullfilling destiny in many ways for you.

SN: Right, it was. It was.

PG: And we'll see it all happen in Brisbane next year, as part of the Gold Dust Tour. I'm looking forward to it so much.

SN: I'm looking so much forward to it too. I love coming to Brisbane, because it's so...such a different...it's so, kind of Hawaii-esque, in it's own kind of strange way. I love going there. I love Australia, I'm always the one that fights to come to Australia. Because it's far, and people's initial thing when you say 'can we go and play in Australia?' is always 'it's too expensive to go there, to take you. The way you guys travel, and the money you spend, Stevie...because you want everybody to go, at least business class. It's like if you're going First, you don't even want anybody in coach.' So they're going 'this is going to cost us so much money, you can't go' and then I always turn around and say 'but we have to go to Australia, because if want to have a career over there and hang out with the people there, and we can't just send records.' So, I'm thrilled, because I love having a career here, and I love being able to know that I can work here.

PG: And you are doing it with John Farnham, I'm very jealous.

SN: I am, and I think that's going to be really fun, because when there's another act travelling with you, you really get to know their band and that person, and it's more fun really then when you're just by yourself.

PG: Stevie Nicks, thank you so much today.

SN: Thank you.

Because it's far, and people's initial thing when you say 'can we go and play in Australia?' is always 'it's too expensive to go there, to take you. The way you guys travel, and the money you spend, Stevie...because you want everybody to go, at least business class. It's like if you're going First, you don't even want anybody in coach.' So they're going 'this is going to cost us so much money, you can't go' and then I always turn around and say 'but we have to go to Australia, because if want to have a career over there and hang out with the people there, and we can't just send records.' So, I'm thrilled, because I love having a career here, and I love being able to know that I can work here.

PG: And you are doing it with John Farnham, I'm very jealous.

SN: I am, and I think that's going to be really fun, because when there's another act travelling with you, you really get to know their band and that person, and it's more fun really then when you're just by yourself.

PG: Stevie Nicks, thank you so much today.

SN: Thank you.

(I left out a lot of you know's and so's, but there are still a lot. :rolleyes: Oh, and I didn't change anything, so all grammar mistakes are theirs...I only changed a wee bit here and there to make the text flow better.)

Thanks so much for doing this!

THEY PLAYED PAPER DOLL AFTER THAT!!?!?!?!??!!

THATS SO AWESOME!

Ha! I can't help thinking she's doing a Lindsey on us...how many times have I heard/read things like "Buckingham/ Nicks LP dropped like a hot potato" or how she supported Lindsey, so he could "sit on the floor and play guitar all day long"..she's got her interviews down to a fine art of repitition just like he has with his concert mumblings :lol:
Interesting she thought there wasn't a job, he could do (that sure does boost ones self esteem... NOT) considering how much he has helped her since over the years, doing fab stuff to her songs....

I think she meant there was not a job she could imagine Lindsey doing "'besides practicing music"'. I like how she rewrote history again and now claims that Mick wanted both she and Lindsey from day one. :lol:

pfft.


They played PARTY Doll at the end, not Paper Doll, Jimmy.

I remember hearing this before, about a month ago. I know I heard her singing that Party Doll bit before. :confused:
