Lemonhead Recommends - Stevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks has been my idol for as long as I can remember, everything about her is magical and drenched in depth. She always maintains beauty and strength simultaneously.
Many of Stevie’s best works are her demos; take ‘Blue Lamp’ (also my favourite Stevie Nicks song) for example. Supposedly based on a blue tiffinany lamp her mother bought her and she refused to board a plane without, the lyrics portray something entirely different “Can we talk. I’ve known you for a long time. Now you know.”




Equally gut wrenching and dramatic is her demo of ‘Smile At You (angry demo)’.
“Go on save yourself, leave the key here, you love someone else, I shouldn’t be here”. The lyrics, unquestionably based on Stevie’s own heartache can reach a thousand souls and never cease to stir emotion within me, the most devastating part being towards the close of the song when Stevie declares in utter raw trauma “My heart, my heart, was broken, my heart, my heart was broken”.
Truly glorious, beautiful and filled with soul, as with all Stevie Nicks songs, she remains now and forever more my idol.

I came to the understanding that i'm such a spaz, and so hooping makes way more sense for me. Anyways I feel in love with tribal belly dance/hula hoop clothing, so I just stated making my own clothes. My fantasy world would have a happy hour in which Laura Angles, Stevie Nicks, Nico, Mae West, Calamity Jane, and myself meet up at least once a week in some out of the way place to have lemon balm juleps and discuss, well, everything.

Excerpt from an article about information overload in The Mountain Press (TN) October 12, 2009

Are we living on information overload?

by ELLEN BROWN

There’s a quote from Stevie Nicks (former lead singer of Fleetwood Mac) in a recent Rolling Stone magazine interview that I thought was rather profound: “Little girls think it’s necessary to put all their business on MySpace and Facebook, and I think it’s a shame. ... I’m all about mystery.”

Oh, Stevie, you are so wise. You were so cool back in the 1970s, rocking out with your awesome band. You were too busy making great music to worry about what other people were doing.

You were also living in a time before we all discovered perhaps the greatest invention ever: the Internet.

Fourteen years ago yesterday, Phish played perhaps their finest show in Arizona at the now defunct Compton Terrace. Phoenix’s Compton Terrace was created by Jess Nicks - Stevie’s father - on land borrowed from the adjacent Legend City, a wild-west themed amusement park. After Legend City closed, Nicks moved the venue to another site which is where the Phish concert took place shortly before the venue closed for good in 1996.

Megan Joy Is Sparking Filmmakers’ Interest
by ladybugg on October 15, 2009

Though she made her mark on the world’s most-watched singing competition, American Idol’s Megan Joy may not be headed for the recording studio, but rather the silver screen.

The sultry, single mom with the sexy voice caught everyone’s attention during Idol’s eighth season. Immediately after her departure from the show, the internet was ablaze with the rumor that Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks had noticed Megan and wanted to anoint her to play her part in an upcoming biopic about the supergroup. (Nicks, the week before, made her thoughts crystal clear on Lindsay Lohan’s interest in the role. “Over my dead body,” the one-time queen of rock said of Lohan’s possible involvement.)

Stevie Nicks, though, isn’t the only one who has noticed Megan Joy. “From what I’ve seen, Megan doesn’t have a bad angle,” says Phoenix, Arizona indie filmmaker Jane Bell. “We’d love to work with her. I’d go so far as to say we would develop a project with her in mind. She’s stunning.”

“It’s funny. I’d never watched Idol until this season,” Bell said. “A friend called me and said ‘you’ve got to see this girl.’ As soon as we began watching her, we were hooked. So many possibilities there.”

Regarding Megan’s sleeve tattoo, Bell responded, ”To get her going in something like a festival short, we’d write the tattoo into the story, just to get her in a film, so she could get her acting feet wet. She simply has too much presence, almost a Grace Kelly kind of thing. You can’t help but gape at her.”

“We’ve tried to contact Megan,” Bell continued, “through one of her fan websites that stated they had a direct line to her, but to no avail. I know she has a myspace now. So we’ll wait until she’s off the tour, and depending on what happens with the Fleetwood Mac thing, we’ll try to get together with her in the fall. But, who knows, we might be competing with Cover Girl and L’Oreal, she’s that good-looking.”

I don't know what the eff this is all about...
 

Interview Project by David Lynch is an online series of interviews with Americans from different walks of life, in various towns and cities all over America. Beginning October 20, the project will launch a community blog, incorporating Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, so fans will be able to upload their own original content.

Austin Lynch (David’s son) and a friend set out on a roadtrip across America and back to get the people’s story from everyday Americans. They covered 20,000 miles in 70 days and got stories that are notable for the fact they are real, organic and unrehearsed. Production wise, they have the unmistakable Lynch feel, you keep looking for something that may be hidden. I watched 4 of the interviews and enjoyed spotting the Lynch symbols – close ups of flowers, bird chirps, etc. It will be fun to get to see how the conversations flow once the blog opens up a richer dialogue.

The blog launch will coincide with the premiere of the Clinton interview, a Fayetteville, WV man who finds salvation through a Stevie Nicks concert. For laughs, check out Lynch below NSFW (language) talking about watching movies on iPhones.

Best Earthquake Stories
\
Earthquake stories are like first love stories: Everyone's got one, but they always tend to be interesting anyway.

What were you doing at 5:04 pm 20 years ago?

I was just out of the shower, in my underwear, and seconds later I was climbing down the fire escape of my building. I was getting ready to go to a Stevie Nicks concert at either Shoreline or Concord -- Concord, I think -- and kept thinking I still had to go.

I walked outside, past a lady who was, I guess, about 60 -- a full generation older -- and we just looked at each other and started laughing. It was a moment that brought everybody together, because in those moments everybody, absolutely everybody, was thinking about the exact same thing.

You got an earthquake story? Is yours any good? So-so? Let's hear it.

Country singer Peck sings in front of hometown crowd
 

October 18, 2009

The former Coshocton County resident filled up Secrest Auditorium and sung hits like "Findin' A Good Man," "Isn't That Everything" and "I Don't," that made her a star.

The last time Peck, a River View High School graduate, was last home was Christmas, but she hasn't performed anywhere around Coshocton since she was a teenager playing bars, festivals and fairs.

Coming back into town brought back memories for Peck, 31, who now spends most of her time recording in Nashville and on tour.

"I went to the (Colony Square) mall and it brought back memories," Peck said. "That's where I got my ears pierced. And we went past Adornetto's where I went on my first date when I was 16. And I remember going to see "Titanic" when it first came out over here. Zanesville's been a pretty big part of my life. It's where we would come to go shopping, out to eat, do everything."

Her performance included cover tracks like Stevie Nicks' "Landslide" and Tom Petty's "Won't Back Down."

"All my family is here," Peck said. "I'm going to spend a day or two in Coshocton and everyone else is going back (to Nashville). The bus is leaving me."

Stevie Nicks!

"Stevie Nicks!" Shouted a forth grade boy to another forth grade boy.
"I'm not Stevie Nicks, you are!" Said the other boy.
"Why are you calling each other Stevie Nicks?" I asked.
"Because he sounds like Stevie Nicks." Said the boy.
"She 'Stevie Nicks' has a good voice." I said.
"Stevie Nicks is a girl?" Asked a student.
"Hahahaha you sound like a girl." Said the boy.

Stevie Nicks
By Signe Kassowon October 21, 2009in Featured and People.
0Has been considered as the The Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll by The Rolling Stone Magazine and The ultimate flower-child/rock-fairy by Hilary Alexander. With the comeback of Fleetwood Mac follows the style-icon Stevie Nicks. And it seems like she’s already influenced designers like John Galliano’s Autumn/Winter 09-10 collection with her medieval look.

Scary songs
Oct 24th, 2009 | By Ian Poulton | Category: Personal Columns

Watching Stevie Nicks sing Rhiannon on a 1976 recording, an old insecurity resurfaced: the sense that there was a sophisticated and streetwise world out there that was forever beyond the understanding of a hickey kid from nowhere. The insecurity even got a name a few years ago, in our house, it became called ‘Midnight Train to Georgia Syndrome’.

The great soul singer, Gladys Knight sang Midnight Train to Georgia in 1973, it made it to No 1 in the US charts. It told of a man who had gone to Los Angeles in search of fame and fortune, but his dreams hadn’t come true and he was returning to the rural life of the Deep South from which he had come. The opening lines of the song go like this:

L.A. proved too much for the man
So he’s leavin’ the life he’s come to know
He said he’s goin’ back to find what’s left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago
He’s leavin’ on that midnight train to Georgia
Said he’s goin’ back to find the simpler place and time.

Stevie Nicks became emblematic of a world that was too much for a teenager who struggled to understand the culture beyond his native West Country. In a year dropped out of college, a Fleetwood Mac album that has long since disappeared was played again and again on an old mono record player left by housemates who had gone to India. The side on which Rhiannon appeared must have been nearly worn away by the heavy stylus’ repeated circuits of the vinyl. It wasn’t even the lyrics, the song could have been sung in a foreign language and it would have made no difference, it was the sound of the guitars and Nicks’ voice that combined to become eerily haunting.

Haunting things are a problem, they defy articulation, they defy definition. If it was possible to explain why certain things evoked certain thoughts, then they would lose their power. The opening bars of the song hit the pit of the stomach; in the way that some anthems can make the hairs on the back of one’s neck stand on end, so some songs seem to have a physical quality about them.

Perhaps an analyst would suggest some deep unresolved problem, not that one would talk to a doctor about 1970s music, but there was a sudden impulse to find Gladys Knight, to escape whatever dark shadows there are in the winding corridors of the subconscious.

Maybe it would be better to go to the toilets when they do that song at the concert tonight.

Nostalgia is not always good for you.

Things Learned About Stevie Nicks After Visiting Her Official Website
By Jess McGuire on October 26, 2009 at 1:07 PM

Don’t think that I’ve calmed down when it comes to my Stevie Nicks obsession just because I’ve travelled half-way around world and can’t stop listening to Miike Snow repeatedly, oh no. I still plan on making Stevie adopt me when she comes to Australia, and my new life goal is to organise a successful Fleetwood Mac tribute night (an aside: Darren Hayes, The Drones, Kylie Minogue, Eddy Current Suppression Ring – get in touch!)

I thought I’d go and frolic through Stevie’s official website, and look what I found – an ‘Ask Stevie’ section! The most recent question answered is in regards to Sheryl Crow’s breast cancer diagnosis which makes me think it may not be the most up to date list of Nicks-answered queries, but whatever. I have perused the 145 questions and answers, and here are some things I happened to learn about the divine Miss N.

STEVIE HAS A WINNING SPIRIT!
When asked what she thought got her through the difficult times, Stevie answered “I don’t like to lose, and that winning spirit has taken me thru most of my difficult times.” Top that, Anthony Robbins. Also, it’s interesting to note that Stevie spells “through” as “thru”. I am considering adopting this spelling as a tribute to her even though in the past it’s something that has made me feel a bit punchy.

STEVIE LOVES TO SLOW DANCE!
Says Stevie “I like to slow dance whenever possible, I even slow dance by myself during my solo shows!” I am considering taking up solo slow dancing as a tribute to her even though in the past it’s something that has made me feel a bit like a dick.

STEVIE FINDS AMERICAN IDOL HILARIOUS!
Stevie admits “I do watch it sometimes, I think it’s very funny, and if I was a judge I would be Simon Cowell!

GOODY STEVIE THINKS MYSPAZZ IS THE DEVIL!
“I think they are evil. Seriously, I think myspace.com has the potential to be a very dangerous site.” I am considering deleting my MySpazz page as a tribute to her even though in the past it’s something that has led to really **** bands I don’t care about thoughtfully wishing me a happy birthday on the 7th March.

STEVIE’S TASTE IN TELLY AND MUSIC IS KINDA WORRYING!
Her favourite television show is Judging Amy and her favourite band is Maroon 5. I think I can deal with that. After all, she’s Stevie ****ing Nicks, she can watch and listen to whatever she damn well likes.

STEVIE WOULD BE A VERY GOOD BEAUTY PAGEANT CONTESTANT!
“If I had one wish, it would be for world peace….” reveals Stevie. I am considering cancelling my Al Quaeda membership even though in the past it’s something that has ensured I have a place to crash whenever I visit Afghanistan.

Stevie Nicks, I love you more than ever.

Oct 30, 2009 | By: DYANA BAGBY

Michael Montlack loved Stevie Nicks as a gay icon long before she became an international hero to millions of gay men, including drag queens who love the scarves and the long skirts that are her signature style.

In his anthology, “My Diva,” Montlack writes about how he connected to Nicks as a gay boy seeking his true identity and how she is his “diva” — just one of 65 in the book of essays where other gay men describe their diva inspirations.

“She was like my fairy godmother,” said Montlack, professor of English at Berkeley College in New York City. “I could escape through her. She taught me how to veil myself.”

As a gay boy and a young man coming out, Montlack was not interested in musicals, for example, like other gay men. But through the lyrics, voice and style of rocker Stevie Nicks, he was able to find a connection that shaped him into the gay man he is today.

His interest in Nicks led him years ago to write a poem about her, which eventually led to an essay. Encouragement from a friend to get it published — which it was — made him realize there was a market for gay men to express their love for certain women who inspired them.

“My Diva,” which includes divas from Sappho to Princess Leia, is featured at this year’s third annual Atlanta Queer Literary Festival, slated for Nov. 4-7. A reading from the book including Montlack and other contributors is set for Nov. 5 at Outwrite Bookstore & Coffeehouse.

“When I came out, who knew she would become a gay icon,” Montlack said of Nicks.

“When I was young, I felt like I took a lot of heat because I didn’t like musicals … and I was always defending myself for liking Stevie Nicks. Now there’s the famous ‘Night of 1,000 Stevies,’” he added with a laugh.

What did she sing?

I don't know which article you got this quote from, but they were probably referring to the time she appeared on the Blockbuster Awards and sang Fall From Grace. Normally when she appears on TV she sings Stand Back or Landslide.

[This guy was captivated by the same Wild Heart footage that so many here love]

From an article on Sin Fan Bous

http://www.straight.com/article-2664...rules-clangour

Sin Fang Bous’s aesthetic is arguably similar to that of some of Beck Hansen’s work. Sigfússon says he’s a big fan of Beck’s Sea Change, but what’s really inspiring him these days is Fleetwood Mac, and some of Stevie Nicks’s solo work. “I was, like, obsessed with one thing I saw on the Internet, which was a recording of Stevie Nicks rehearsing a song called ‘Wild Heart’,” he says. “I saw it on YouTube. She’s backstage, getting her makeup done or something, and they’re playing this demo track and she’s singing along to it. I thought it sounded really cool.”

So much so, in fact, that Sigfússon plans to record his own version of the song, and he also has covers of Fleetwood Mac’s “Beautiful Child” and “Landslide” in the works. Of course, he has plenty of his own videos up on YouTube. And who knows—maybe Nicks will watch one and return the compliment.

Q. What music is currently on your iPod? Which musicians inspired you?

Oksana Grigorieva:
There was a composer, Alexander Scriabin… and a piece called The Poem of Ecstasy (Le Poème de l’extase). It’s a symphony piece and I think it’s so beautiful. He was kind of overshadowed by Sergei Rachmaninoff, who lived at the same time. And he died at the age of 43, from septicemia. He shaved a pimple and a few months later he was gone. It was so terrible. But I just love his music.

I really like Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 3, The Rock. It’s one of my favourite pieces of all time. But that’s classical again. I also love Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush and Elton John. I love Elton John. Stevie Nicks’ voice is so striking as well.

http://www.indielondon.co.uk/Music-R...ndon-interview

“Oh!” I exclaimed, sudden and joyful. “You mean COCAINE!”

The entire carriage went silent. I did not get the cocaine. I did get to keep the balloon, though.

Amazingly, I was also, finally, offered the naughtiest drug of all — heroin — although the circumstances were not how I thought they would be at all. I’d always fancied that it would occur in some velvet-swagged hotel room, proffered by some hair-swagged rock star, and that somehow I would have turned into beautiful Stevie Nicks by that point.

In fact, it happened in a horrible pub in Camden, was presented by a member of a certain boy band who were a bit like the Showaddywaddy of Britpop, and I was still, very much, just me.

“I’ve just found a wrap on the floor in the toilets,” the bloke said, handing me a frankly filthy paper packet. “I think it’s smack. You can have it if you want.” And then, remembering that I was a journalist: “And thanks for all your support!”

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/com...enComment=true

Last night I kicked in my Stevie Nicks "Timespace" greatest hits CD and caught a little rockstar with "Stand Back." I woke up singing it this morning and did a little YouTube'ing and found this pearl. I'm probably going to get smacked for saying this, but I'm going to say it anyway because that's the Robby way: I love me some 3-pack-a-day, Klonipin poppin' cocaine snortin' Stevie Nicks. Not that I don't love me some clean and sober Stevie too - obviously that's a much better, desired condition. But the powder keg power of the untamed version exposes a high level of creative magic.

http://www.robbyjohnson.com/2009/11/stand-back.html

anyways enough ranting, today i have mostly been listening to stevie nicks - edge of seventeen. i was watching a documentary about fleetwood mac last night, and they had this on it and it reminded me how great a song it is. the first time i became aware of stevie nicks and fleetwood mac was when i was about 15 and i used to go round to my friends house and we would sometimes listen to some of his parents old record collection., that how i first heard stevie nicks and her unique, gravelly voice.

if you don't like this song, call an ambulance because there is something seriously wrong with you and you need to get yourself checked out by a doctor. :-)

take care my friend.

Ya think!? lol
Still, she is smoking "Hot" what a voice. Kinda like when the kids refer to a wave as "Sick"....
oh, now i get why they say stevie nicks sounds like a goat.
bleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat bleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

That song (Rhiannon) is quite possibly the worst pile of **** ever committed to magnetic tape.
It's funny how people of a certain age gripe about modern female pop stars and their lack of talent, when non singers like her and a few others were such a big deal in the 70s and 80s.

If hell truly exists, I'm sure they have Fleetwood Mac playing in heavy rotation on the house PA.

Oh man. That's pretty bad. To each their own, though, I guess.

That is awful!

Of all songs to tear apart, tear apart RHIANNON?!?!?!

I'm appalled. And confused.

Vogue

Mac Factor

Given that Luella is a huge fan of Stevie Nicks (she even named her daughter Stevie), it was only right the Fleetwood Mac singer should meet the designer when she was in town on tour. Despite Luella’s ardent admiration – you can certainly spot the personal style influences (sparkly pendants, blonde fringe, a penchant for gold Lurex thread) – the pair had never met before. We stole this snap of them as they finally made their introductions. Apparently, they plan to hit the flea markets together in Paris next week. Altogether now: “I want to be with you everywhere.”

Personally I do not see the resemblance
 

Har Mar Superstar stepped the stage in a flowing crimson shawl. Through the set's first few songs, which included "DUI" and "Cut Me Up" off of The Handler as well as a few cuts from his most recent full length Dark Touches, the whirling dynamo bore an uncomfortable, mesmerizing resemblance to Stevie Nicks. His backing band, which featured Jeff Quinn from local three-piece His Mischief, was dressed in all white, standing as uniform and stately as H & M mannequins.

http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenois..._keith_and.php

It’s funny to me, that every time I am in crisis mode of any sort in my life…I always gravitate back to the music and poetry of Stevie Nicks. It’s like…somewhere in what she writes…I find ME…that part of me that longs, that yearns, that dreams, that WANTS to reach for me. And yet that girl…that young girl…she’s buried so deep within me that I can’t REACH her anymore. I feel myself stretching my arms to her and trying desperately to grab hold of her hands, but she won’t reach BACK to me. She just sits there…a semi-blank stare on her face. The only emotion I see there is sorrow, and she’s looking sadly at me as though I have betrayed her and she no longer trusts me. I promised her so many things throughout the course of our life, and I never made good on the promises. And now…she resents me, a little, and grieves…a lot. And she is far too fearful of more heartache to reach back to me. But she sits and listens to Stevie too. And I hear her humming…she’s still hungry…she still wants more, but she doesn’t trust ME to feed her.

http://ferociousdustbunnies.com/2009...tterly-flawed/

^I just read that whole post...its so sad!

^ Yes, I second that.

Check out this quote that's furthur down in that blog post:

I don't even know who this person is, but I kinda teared up when I read that. :/

Me too! That was me while reading the whole thing...but this part from what you quoted especially got to me...

"And I hear her singing. She touches my bruised and battered heart with the gentleness of butterfly’s wing, and in that touch…I begin to heal. "

That is so gorgeous. I know exactly what she's saying.

Me and Stevie

Last night a major realisation hit me. With a THUNK.

I have a Stevie Nicks alter ego I've really never analysed until now. But it's really there, lurking...

Yes I am a big Fleetwood Mac fan. There's a copy of both Rumours and Tango In The Night in my car and actually I think the song Everywhere and its video are what spurred me to write romance in the first place. I just love that vid. Did I mention my secret thing for Highwaymen (and don't even get me onto my teen obsession with Baroness Orczy and crush on the Scarlet Pimpernel...but I digress).

So after X Factor I switched over to a music channel's Fleetwood Mac roundup. And suddenly it hit me.

I want to be 'Stevie Nicks'. Blonde (check always wanted that); wearer of romantic gypsy style clothes and long boots, frilly petticoats and perhaps even strange hats with feathers in (check perhaps because I've always been a jeans wearer there's a deep secret part of me that longs to dress up in a wispy butterfly dress and maybe even a velvet corset with BIG HAIR and just go for it...ggg). Anyway. Perhaps that's why I write romance...I have this inner 'ethereal' crazy woman whom I've never given full control to. Because she scares me...

And possibly would scare passers-by too.

So I keep my inner 'Stevie' repressed...Well, I mean. Who wants to go to Sainsbury's with mermaid hair and a velvet cloak especially with kids in tow?

Anybody else got any embarrassing alter egos? Or perhaps you have an unworn velvet cloak in the cupboard too...? Go on...fess up!

People are impressed that you know someone who writes books (or at least books that they've heard of). But this is only because they don't know the writer in question. If they did, they would just roll their eyes. And should they happen to subsequently meet your writer it will end badly for you. I once had a friend pay me a visit and bring along someone I didn't know. It turned out this person was just dying to meet my friend's writer friend. That would be me. And apparently I was not what she was hoping for. At one point during the long, tedious afternoon I overheard her whisper to my friend, "I thought he would have nicer furniture."

I know a few other writers, some of whom people have actually heard of. Occasionally it will come out that I know So-and-so, and not just in a "we have the same publisher" kind of way. Inevitably the person who hears this asks, "What is he really like?" Even people who should know better ask this. And I always say to them something I heard a friend of Stevie Nicks say she tells people who ask her what Stevie is really like: "She's exactly the way you think she is."

Because the illusion is what makes knowing so much better than being. Being involves, well, being. Knowing gives you all the benefits of being associated with fabulousness but without any of the icky stuff that comes with it. You don't have to actually write the books or make the movies or go to rehab, you just have to know the person who does. And that's really what most people care about. If you tell them you know a prostitute*, for example, they will more often than not think that you're a daring sort who leads a very interesting life. Tell them that you are a prostitute, however, and now you're just a whore who has crashed the party.

I have to get back to being a writer now. Try not to get too excited about it. I wouldn't want to disappoint you.

Outside of the realm of CCM, Michael W. Smith is best known as the guy who gave us "Place In This World" which became a high school graduation song favorite throughout the 90s. He also had another minor hit in 1992, "I Will Be Here For You" which I remember kind of liking in spite of myself. Despite these dabblings, I never really liked him all that much because the nasal quality of his voice really turned me off (says the Stevie Nicks fan).

This article claims that women with masculine names are more successful and make more money.

I think it's funny because it includes Stevie and also Lindsay Lohan. I guess Lindsey will be glad to know that someone else thinks his name is actually masculine. I think Lindsey was considered a male name maybe 50 years ago, but not now.
