Stevie wonder

In her June 7 review, the Free Press's Melissa Martin awarded the Fleetwood Mac concert at the MTS Centre four out of five stars. Tim Magas, a postal carrier who collects anything/everything associated with the band's ethereal vocalist, Stevie Nicks, gave it a significantly higher grade.

A story about Magas's Nicks-knacks ran the same day as the show ("Nicks Fix," June 6). "I haven't seen Stevie since they played here; they just finished their European tour and are now in Australia," says Magas, who, to date, has seen Nicks perform live on 19 separate occasions.

During the last few months, Magas has added T-shirts, hoodies and tuques to his mix, but his newest Nicks-related item doesn't exactly fall under the category "officially licensed merchandise."

"Michael wanted to get a third dog but I didn't," Magas says, referring to his partner. "To coerce me, he said I could name it anything I wanted. Well, (four) weeks ago, our new dog came home from the Humane Society and yes, I now have a Stevie, and I love her."

There also was a fun side to Larson, who everyone remembered as being a major fan of Fleetwood Mac and singer Stevie Nicks.

Mackey said he would turn his radio up and blast it when Nicks came on the radio.

“That was the part that really just cracked you up, that he was in love with Stevie Nicks,” said Brumfield, adding, “Still waters run deep.”

Mackey said Brumfield was very much a gentleman, “except for that Stevie Nicks thing,” she joked.

Carl Larson: Gentleman supervisorBy Mandy Feder -- News editor
Updated: 01/04/2010 11:23:32 PM PST


Lake County Carl Larson was a private person with strong convictions, according to former District 4 Supervisor Karan Mackey.

"He was a gentleman, conservative and quiet," Mackey said. He was there for his country, his county and his district according to Mackey. "You would see another side of him if you ever rode in his car though. He played Stevie Nicks music full-blast." Mackey said there was a "teenager inside of him."

Former County Supervisor Carl M. Larson died on Sunday at the age of 81.

TeenHollywood: Susie is just struck speechless when Ray is around. What person in the public eye would really just make you speechless around them?

Saoirse: I think if I met Lady Gaga, I'd be pretty (stoked) or Stevie Nicks (of classic rock group Fleetwood Mac).

Some mornings all I want to look like is Stevie Nicks in 1987. I want to be the most beautiful woman in the world. How she throws a subtle lyrical reference to the Velvet Underground in the main single from Fleetwood Mac's sluggish 1982 album "Mirage. It is how the professionals do it.

With the holidays and a monthlong hiatus behind it, the North Island Concert Society unveils the gem of its 2009-10 season this weekend in the form of Double Diamond, a Neil Diamond tribute show fronted by veteran Victoria musician Bill Zaalberg.

The event, which begins at 8 p.m. at Port Hardy Civic Centre, will actually feature two shows in one. The opening act is Tusk, another tribute in which Kathleen Zaalberg, Bill’s daughter-in-law, channels Stevie Nicks in numbers from her solo and Fleetwood Mac collections.

“Never did I mean to imprison you, here in my garden.”
-Running Through the Garden, Fleetwood Mac


There’re people that come to him for many reasons. Sometimes it’s accidental, but it can be purposeful as well. He’s the Doctor. His name is sung across the stars, popping up through history – the man and his blue box. He does no good alone, so he seeks them out just the same. He often needs them more than they do of him. He asks for too much, maybe. Just wants a traveling companion… that’s what it appears to be.

There’s more to it, sometimes. It creeps up and chokes him, the ever-burning darkness of his soul. The truth of what he does to people. Davros and Dalek Caan… they weren’t showing him lies. The Doctor made others do his dirty work for him, trying to make himself look innocent, but oh no he’s so far from it. He’s so very old.

They always leave him. He doesn’t want to cling – that isn’t becoming of him – yet his life is so much more important than theirs. He’s significant. He can do things in the universe! He can make differences! On such grander scales than the little people ever –

He’s the Doctor, with his song rippling through the universe, and he’s so old. Too old. He’s missing the picture that he could once reach out and grasp and feel pleased of who he is. His confidence in that is wavering. The man and his blue box are running across the stars to find his song so that he knows it is still out there. He doesn’t want to go.

Why do they so often say that they will stay with him forever?

They can’t. He can’t keep them. He wants to shut them in the TARDIS and stay with them forever, traveling the stars and showing them everything that their minds would never have dreamed of. His mind is great and vast. These things need to be known and shown and time is running out and there’s no one left he’s alone and it’s too quiet the silence is crushing. He’s never felt as though his hearts were divided, opposites beating around each other.

Forever.

He named a galaxy Alison. It should have been Rose or Martha or Donna – his saviors that made surviving the brutal, hellish war bearable. Donna’s song intertwines with his amongst the stars; he finds it, and he breaks down. His TARDIS sings with it. He keeps running.

Rose and Donna were taken from him. Martha left him.

They never stay, they always go. He’s alone and the darkness aches. He’s done things he isn’t proud of. How far can he run… from himself?

He can’t keep them. He can’t lock them up and keep them safe. “What was I supposed to do?! Wrap her in cotton-wool? Tell her, ‘Here, I could give you the universe, but I’m not going to in case you get hurt’!”

Maybe it’s himself that needs to be locked away, imprisoned. The man and the blue box are far, far too old. Lived too long. He could just… make it simple. Beat out the prophecy. None of this knocking nonsense…

…simple…

But no.

The Doctor runs.

Anyway, he chose a line from Running Through the Garden to write a short Doctor Who story

Crawdaddy has an article by Denise Sullivan looking at the legacy of gypsies in rock music, from Cher and Ronstadt to Stevie. Here's an excerpt:

http://www.crawdaddy.com/index.php/2...see-the-gypsy/

The gypsy’s turn in the spotlight continued though things started to turn dark with “Black Magic Woman”, the Fleetwood Mac song popularized by Santana; it was followed by a rash of “evil” and “witchy” woman songs. This is not the gypsy in songs we know and love. The Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac was famously baked in the blues, so naturally magic would be its domain long before the band had its own resident gypsy in the form of Stevie Nicks, whose own “Gypsy” bears little resonance to any of the previously mentioned songs and was simply a vessel for her magical leanings and twirly dancing. Nicks was, in part, working in the tradition of Cher, the deep-throated and wildly fashioned singer of “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves” and “Dark Lady”, the fortune queen of New Orleans, two hits packed with gypsy detail.
