The love fest between Katy Perry and Stevie Nicks continues.

A month after Nicks told the world her favorite song right now is Perry’s survival anthem “Roar,” Perry gushed about her blooming friendship with the rock legend.

“She is a beautiful woman,” Perry told SiriusXM listeners today during an intimate Q&A session, as part of “SiriusXM’s Town Hall with Katy Perry.”

“She just has so many little nuggets of wisdom and sees straight through my soul,” Perry said about Nicks. “And she’s very kind, and a sweet woman. … I’m so honored that she would make time for me. But I like hearing what people who have gone before me have to say about all this stuff.”

Perry, 28, listed other female artists who came before her and helped inspire her.

Fleetwood Mac singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks has been open about the drug demons she battled during the peak of her fame in the '70s. But even though she conquered her addiction, she still feels heartbroken for young stars she sees going through the same thing.

In an interview with a Scottish newspaper, the "Rhiannon" singer opened up about how she was devastated to hear of actor Cory Monteith's drug-related death.

"With this Cory thing I've thought a lot about [drugs]," the 65-year-old singer said about the Canadian-born actor, who died from a heroin and alcohol overdose while at a Vancouver hotel.

"Mostly you realised that all that recreational/non-addictive [idea] was bull**** when it started to become more important than music. And it did. And heroin's a lot quicker road to that! It's gonna become more important than your music, or your acting, or your amazing career that you have ahead of you. You're just throwing it away. And you have somebody like Cory who had the world at his feet, and his fingertips."

Stevie got to know the Glee cast when the show did an episode using songs from Fleetwood Mac's classic Rumours album. Cory's on and off screen girlfriend, Lea Michele, performed the song "Go Your Own Way" while Cory accompanied her on the drums.

Last week's episode of Glee, "The Quarterback," featured characters mourning the loss of Cory's character, Finn Hudson. Several of the show's stars, including Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison, taped addiction-related PSAs that aired during the commercial breaks.

Top 10 Victory Songs
by Bryan Wawzenek



Rock history is loaded with millionaires, legends and icons, so it should be a breeze to come up with the Top 10 Victory Songs, right? Turns out that these people with piles of cash, tons of fans and enviable love lives often avoid singing about those things. And if they do, it’s typically sardonically, as you’ll hear in some of the songs below. For these people who essentially “won life,” angst, struggle and loss tend to be the favored subjects (which is why our Top 10 Loser Songs list could have gone on forever). Still, we found a handful of classic artists who decided to sing when they were victorious on this list of Top 10 Victory Songs.

10
'I'm Still Standing'
Elton John


From: 'Too Low for Zero' (1983)
A sizable hit, aided by an early MTV staple shot in the South of France, 'I'm Still Standing' finds Sir Elton getting over a former lover in victorious fashion. Bernie Taupin's lyrics show resiliency in the face of heartbreak: "Did you think this fool could ever win? / Well, look at me, I'm coming back again." Love might have been the inspiration, but the song has become something of an anthem for Elton John, who remains a mega star around the world. Of course, as a piano player, he does his best work sitting down.



9
'Victory'
Megadeth


From: 'Youthanasia' (1994)
As John Lennon once ventured into the Beatles' past via a 'Glass Onion,' Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine name checks his band's former glories on the punishing final track to 'Youthanasia.' Mustaine did it as a joke, but ending up relating something a bit more personal. The choruses to 'Victory' emphasize the singer/guitarist's triumph over addiction ("Had fingers in my eyes / Had needles in my veins") and, perhaps, a nod to his firing from Metallica ("A knife right through my heart"). In the end, Mustaine wails, "I am a victory." He sounds as grateful as he is defiant.



8
'Winning'
Santana


From: 'Zebop!' (1981)
How could 'Winning' not make the Top 10 Victory Songs list? Argent alum Russ Ballard wrote the tune, and included it on his 1976 solo record, and in 1981 it became Santana's last big hit until the late '90s. This synth-stuffed single features vocalist Alex Ligertwood, who traces the trajectory of a man who goes from rock bottom to the top of the world. "I'm winning," his keening voice cries out, "And I don't intend on losing again." As a band, Santana couldn't deliver on that until almost 20 years later, when Carlos became 'Supernatural.'



7
'Paths of Victory'
Bob Dylan


From: 'The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3' (1991)
Back in his folk singing days, Bob Dylan heard 'Wayworn Traveler' by the Carter Family, then wrote new lyrics to the melody to create 'Paths of Victory.' Not long after, he wrote a completely new set of words, altered the time signature to 3/4 and delivered 'The Times They Are A-Changin'.' As such, 'Paths of Victory' and its vague tales of overcoming the political battles of the '60s, got left behind, only to be scooped up by fellow folkie Odetta and, later, the Byrds. Dylan's demo version finally saw release on the first edition of 'The Bootleg Series' in 1991.



6
'Long Distance Winner'
Buckingham Nicks


From: 'Buckingham Nicks' (1973)
This Stevie Nicks ditty is one of the only tracks from the vaunted 'Buckingham Nicks' album to be re-released in the digital era (as part of Stevie's 'Enchanted' boxed set). It's a moody gem in which she wraps her sweet and sour voice around poetic lines about a lover she admires, sometimes from a distance. Nicks sings, "I come running down the hill but you're fast / You're the winner, long distance winner," as her real-life lover at the time, Lindsey Buckingham, weaves circles around her with his prickly and chiming guitar.



5
'Winning Ugly'
The Rolling Stones


From: 'Dirty Work' (1986)
Between standing on the shoulders of blues giants, beating dicey altercations with the law and embracing corporate-sponsored mega tours, the Rolling Stones have been winning ugly for much of their career. So it's all the better that they wear it well, with a sneer and a smirk, on this track from the much-maligned 'Dirty Work.' The production is bombastic, but the sentiment is interesting as Mick Jagger compares his band to a scheming sports team: "I'm never wrong at all / I always fight the call... And we're winning ugly." With Mick's tongue planted firmly in his cheek, the message is still clear: Winning ugly sure beats losing.



4
'One Little Victory'
Rush


From: 'Vapor Trails' (2002)
The propulsive opening track from Rush's 'Vapor Trails' album contains an unmistakably positive sentiment. As with a great deal of this band's songs, drummer Neil Peart wrote the lyrics, which indicate that small victories can become major breakthroughs. In the chorus, singer/bassist Geddy Lee declares, "The greatest act can be one little victory." As with many songs on this list, sports references abound ("another chance to score"), but so do greater themes of tolerance, imagination and determination -- which Rush appears to suggest are all elements of notching a victory.



3
'Life's Been Good'
Joe Walsh


From: 'But Seriously, Folks ... ' (1978)
Very wealthy Eagles member. Solo star. Mind-blowingly great guitarist. Life's certainly been good to Joe Walsh, who drew on his dry sense of humor for this classic send-up of the rock star lifestyle. Walsh, somewhat lovingly, lays waste to aloof success stories with couplets like "My Maserati does 185 / I lost my license, now I don't drive" and "I live in hotels, tear out the walls / I have accountants pay for it all." It's funny because it's true. And Walsh's crunchy guitar only makes it better.



2
'Thunder Road'
Bruce Springsteen


From: 'Born to Run' (1975)
The Boss has spent the majority of his career chronicling the struggles of losers -- or people who tend to come out on the losing end, at least. But on the 'Born to Run' LP, there was still the promise of escape, of a narrow victory in the final seconds as the clock wound down. That's what happens on 'Thunder Road,' with a protagonist that "ain't no hero," but can still offer a chance for a better life via a long car ride into an uncertain future. That's about as close to victorious as Springsteen songs get, hence the famous kiss-off line, "It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win."



1
'We are the Champions'
Queen


From: 'News of the World' (1977)
And the most victorious song in the Top 10 Victory Songs List is this Queen epic. You can't do much better than declaring yourselves "the champions of the world." Written by Freddie Mercury with anthemic aspirations, 'We are the Champions,' has become exactly that -- a song that rings out consistently in sports arenas around the globe. Additionally, in 2011 some scientists declared that, mathematically, it was the "catchiest song" in music history. In terms of sing-alongs, Queen wins every time.
