It would be very awkward. The idea of a 70-year-old woman doing a song written from the p.o.v. of a young, pessimistic working-class bloke enamored of the blues and sex with a hot babe . . . . I guess all that gets lost when the song is fifty years old or whatever it is.

The idea of Nicks trying Man of the World is even more ludicrous because the vocal requires a soaring howl of pain and a throw-it-all-away recklessness that Nicks hasn't touched since her Fritz days.

No, if she wants to switch out her old stinkers for some new ones, I think she's better off doing some of the Holly and Ronstadt songs she's tried successfully in recent years: Poor Poor Pitiful Me, It's So Easy, Not Fade Away, etc.
