I think we're all aware about the little story of Jimi Hendrix dedicating a song to Stevie in the early Fritz days.. Stevie herself has mentioned it a few times, however without context.

A few days ago I was looking at Stevie Fan Girl's tumblr (which is HILARIOUS so please look it up if you haven't already! I think they're on the Ledge as well??) and this excerpt was posted from a Hendrix book I'm assuming.

Yellow underwear?! How amazing is that comment?

Well, I just thought to look up any youtube evidence tonight, and lo and behold we have audio confirmation!!! If the original book excerpt is indeed correct in connecting that specific comment to Stevie's dedication..

Another FM/Stevie influenced band I know has been mentioned here..Grace Potter & the Nocturnals. I was aware of her cover of Gold Dust Woman, and Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit, but was not a huge fan of the last album.

This new album due out next week is WAY more rock influenced, sounds amazing! She actually toured with Gov't Mule (Allman Bros. side project/band) and that kind of sound is much more prevalent in the latest work.

Check out a live performance from NOLA Jazz Fest last month..my favorite track and according to youtube comments FM/Stevie tendancies are seen and heard by others. A little Chain and a little GDW for your weekend listening! Hope you enjoy :cool:

Q: How does working with Colbie compare with your experience with Fleetwood Mac?

Ken: "Fleetwood Mac was always pushy, cantankerous, opinionated and inebriated. Fast forward 30 years, and the whole situation is clean. Nobody smokes in the studio night or day. With Colbie, we just focus on the music. You can do things faster and cheaper now. We had 365 days to make 'Rumours.' When I talked with (former Fleetwood Mac singer) Stevie Nicks recently, she was about to make a record and told me she had only 13 days to record."

I remember back in the early 8o's my husband & i loved Jimi Hendrix, he collected every Hendrix, album & Video that was on sale.. The live footage does exist, i remember watching this video with a bunch of friends, someone commented at the time that it was Stevie, he dedicated the song Foxy Lady, just as a gust of wind blew up her skirt..lol:D.. I must dig out his old video's, as I've tried finding it on YouTube but had no luck...

[michelej1]

From a Vancouver Sun article on Bryan Adams:


According to his former record label rep Michael Godin, Adams dropped a couple of songs off his Reckless album because Stevie Nicks was interested in recording them.

In Rotation: Pitchfork developer Andrew Gaerig on Stevie Nicks's burgeoning mystical bull****

http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/andrew-gaerig-pitchfork-alex-goddard-sparkletone-rinse-spotify-terge-fez/Content?oid=6854423

Fleetwood Mac, "Seven Wonders (Extended Version)"
Now that Fleetwood Mac have been established as a de rigueur influence for indie cognoscenti like Best Coast and Beach House, can we finally get the compilation of extended versions, dub edits, and B sides we so rightly deserve? Its centerpiece would be "Seven Wonders (Extended Version)," a late-period Mac gem. (Steal this band name: the Late Period Mac Gems. You're welcome.) It's less "pop smash" and more "buzzed on your deck on a Sunday afternoon," a sing-along triumph that marries Stevie Nicks's burgeoning mystic bull**** with the band's trebly polish. Note to Warner Brothers: this is not on YouTube and I will purchase it (again).

Citizen Complaint of the Day

A concerned citizen takes time to note that when a pothole approaches wading-pool size, it's getting a little bit too big.

Ed. note: The complaint says 222 Cambridge St., Boston. But the Google Street View of 222 Cambridge by Mass. General doesn't look anything like that. 222 Cambridge in Allston, at Sorrento St., however, does, kinda. We're not even going to hazard a guess as to why Stevie Nicks is on pothole patrol in Boston.

Today's topic: What was the single best musical concert you ever went to? When was it, where was it, and why is it your favorite?

I'll go first: I saw Fleetwood Mac at the height of their popularity in 1979 in New Haven, Connecticut from the 13th row center. To this day, I insist that the then-hot lead female singer Stevie Nicks spoke to me that night from the stage. For evidence I offer up the proof that for the first ten minutes of the concert I stood on my chair yelling, imploring her to "take off your clothes!" Out of probable frustration, in between songs, she walked to the center of the stage pointed at me, motioned with her arm and said, "Sit. Down."

It’s kind of a boring day, news-wise. Bobby Valentine hasn’t done anything yet. That massive fight with all of the Stevie Nicks fans I got myself into on Twitter is starting to peter out (long story). So, yeah, I’m scanning for something to write about.

Thank goodness for the independent leagues:

[vivfox]

Thank you, Universe! My favorite band, Stevie Nicks, was on our plane from Washington DC today! (Unfortunately, minus Stevie Nicks). I would love to meet her!! Here I am with her lead guitar legend, Waddy Wachtel on the plane. The band members were super sweet to Michael and I, and meeting them was a real treat for us long-time Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac fans!! Hope your day is filled with happy surprises.
Love, Doreen

Richest Frontman In The World? It’s Paul McCartney

Lead singer of a famous rock band" shapes up to be a pretty lucrative gig no matter how one slices it--but ever wondered which lead singer is the richest of them all? Not surprisingly, the title goes to legendary Beatle Paul McCartney, who tops a list over such other megabucks-frontmen as U2's Bono, Elton John, Jimmy Buffett, and Rolling Stone Mick Jagger.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, there's absolutely nothing "Yesterday" about McCartney's bank account--unless you count the songwriter's royalties he's collecting for that particular song (which has been played more than 7 million times on radio since its release). Based on public records of his various holdings, investments, and earnings, he's valued at $800 million.

However, there's one singer who could have beaten the mighty Macca--and that's first-runner-up Bono. The U2 frontman scores second on the list with a not-too-shabby $600 million to his name. That said, Celebrity Net Worth notes that Bono actually could have topped $1 billion, due to a savvy past investment: He purchased a 1.5% private stake in social media giant Facebook long before the company went public in May of this year. If Facebook had managed to acheive a $100 billion market cap--the market cap is a key factor that determines the value of a company's stock--that would have pushed Bono into the role first billionaire frontman in history. As it stands, Facebook's market cap stands at $44 billion, but things can always change.

Other notable names on the ultra-rich lead singer list probably won't surprise anyone--Kiss's Gene Simmons, Sting, Prince, and Dave Matthews all made the top 10. The only two frontwomen to make the coveted roster? No Doubt's Gwen Stefani and Fleetwood Mac diva Stevie Nicks

Excerpt from Mia Dyson article:
The Sydney Morning Herald
Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/madcap-moments-20120920-268k3.html#ixzz279xUbNYn

IF YOU had to trace the precise moment that set Mia Dyson free forever, it may have been the one in which she phoned up Dave Stewart to say 'No'.

The madcap rock'n'roll mover and shaker of Eurythmics fame had taken a shine to the guitar-slinging girl from rural Victoria soon after she moved to Los Angeles in 2009.

When he compared her to Bruce Springsteen and Chrissie Hynde it must have been terribly flattering. When he hooked her up with Stevie Nicks to play the Santa Barbara Bowl it was undeniably helpful. But when Stewart, as erstwhile producer and de facto manager, issued a press release in early 2010 to say that Dyson was changing her name to BOY, something in her guts said she was on the wrong road to glory.

I looked (Okay I admit, not too hard, lol) but didn't see this posted anywhere so this is for those who never read it!

From the March 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine


What's Playing in Stevie Nicks' Ear?
By Scott Frampton


Rewind: With 30 million copies sold to date, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours made Stevie Nicks' raspy, quavering alto one of the defining sounds of the '70s.

Fast-Forward: Fleetwood Mac's spring-summer Unleashed tour will spotlight their greatest hits, and a supersized Rumours is out now in a CD-DVD boxed set, with previously unreleased tracks, acoustic demos, and behind-the-scenes footage. "I remember sitting on the studio floor making feather earrings and thinking, 'Oh my God, this album is going to be legendary,'" Nicks says.

Play It Again: Since 2005 Nicks has been transferring three decades' worth of her own mix tapes—ranging from classic rock to hip-hop to R&B—onto iPods and taking them in person to wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital. "I thought, 'What can I do?' The answer was music," she says. "Music changes your life. It can pull you out of where you're at." She talked to O about the sounds that tug at her lately.

Coldplay, Viva la Vida (Capitol): "They have a great guitar tone—the open-tuning chords have a spacey effect, like they're up with the moon and the stars. And Chris Martin's voice gets to me emotionally."

Rihanna, Good Girl Gone Bad (Island): "If I ever met her, I'd call her Rhiannon. I've adored her since she did 'Shut Up and Drive' on Letterman. I thought, 'That girl could be in Fleetwood Mac.' She can do it all."

Snow Patrol, Eyes Open (Interscope): "I relate to their song 'Chasing Cars' [sings]: "Would you lie with me, and just forget the world?' They can take a personal experience and make it universal."

Dixie Chicks, Top of the World Tour: Live (Sony): "Natalie Maines is my favorite person to sing with, ever. I could happily be a part of the Dixie Chicks. Even though they're billed as country artists, they're very rock 'n' roll."

How sure was Jimmy that the woman was really Stevie Nicks? He and Ross were in such a rush to go through the lobby that he could have mistaken an obsessive fan who looks similar to Stevie for the one and only Stevie Nicks! Maybe it was just Jimmy's fantasy that it was Stevie Nicks holding on to him, you know!

[UndoingTheLaces]

I've been car shopping after a fender bender totally destroyed my old car. I'm not a car person and I hate car shopping. I narrowed it down to three models after much research and started focusing on finding an affordable one. Someone very close to me is a total car fanatic, he's younger, exuberant and found this to be an exciting opportunity to expose me to the wonderful world of cars. So he started throwing all these lavish models at me I could never afford and going on about features I don't need and wanting me to test drive models I'd never buy and I started getting really irritated. He finally realized how upset it was making me and apologized, saying that he was just so excited that I was coming into his world and he just wanted to help.

Without even thinking about it I replied "It's okay, I totally get it. It's like if you decided to become a Stevie Nicks fan and you came to me all excited with a copy of Street Angel. I'd start going 'No, you have start with Belladonna or Wild Heart... or maybe just dive right into Enchanted for a whole cross section of the different eras of Stevie' and I'd totally overwhelm you."

After I said that I realized I needed to share that with you all. I knew you would get it. LOL

[britt0308]

Fate.

FINALLY I have found a BN '73 LP. On a whim after shopping at school, I walked past a record store I have never found time to venture into. I was running a bit late for an appt., walked past the door, but decided to back track and stop inside. I usually look for the BN record to avail, and I almost first asked the older store owner before looking myself if he ever had come across one.

I walked immediately to the B's and after the first 6 records..not one, but TWO BN records right next to each other. I actually gasped. Walking straight to the counter, I chatted with the man about which was in better condition and that I was shocked to see two in front of me at once. He was a fan..we talked about the upcoming possibility of a BN tour..or material on the FM tour..and copyright agreements to finally have it released on CD someday.

Crazy..and to think I almost didn't go inside..

isn't it ironic though, that she gets royalties from Bootylicious when the part they used for that -- the guitar riff-- she did not write. She writes her melodies but the arrangements are really worked in the studio with / by the professional musicians. So technically I'd bet that the real creator of that riff is Waddy. It's good to be Queen.

Actually, Stevie stole that riff from a Police song. When Waddy found out he was pi$$ed off. Another Ledgie kindly brought this fact to our attention a couple of years ago.

[WildHearted]

I mean, I really don't think Stevie's sitting around writing guitar riffs... I think, like what usually happens with her songs, she had the chord progression and melody and lyrics and general structure and then she handed it over to the people she was working with for BD.

Supposedly what happened was that when Waddy went in to work on it, the other session people said they wanted to do the song with a similar feel to Bring On The Night. And then he listened to it and the guy playing on that song used some sort of echo machine to get that repetitive effect da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da etc and Waddy was like, screw that, I'm just going to PLAY it all, and thus was born the Edge riff. And that's why there's a totally different groove to Edge than BOTN.

[michelej1]

Yes, Waddy gave an interview about it and said that they completely ripped The Police off. But he was asked about that in the Ledge Q & A and added:

http://www.fleetwoodmac.net/penguin/waddy_2.htm

Yes, well, basicially, that's what we wanted to do. But let me say in my own defense, being a respectable thief anyway— if you listen to the Police's song, Andy Summers performs it with some sort of echo unit. There is some sort of artificial "repeating" mechanism going on. And when I heard that, I just said, "I'm not going to do it like that. I don't like that kind of crap. I'll just play the thing." So I just did it the way I still do it, with the hand, as opposed to falsifying it with an echo machine. So it's all dig-a-dig-a-digga. The chords, and everything totally start to move differently. And that drum feel is that same thing. It's that off-off bass drum, against the guitar. So that is what I said. "What? We're doing what? Well, I ain't gonna do that. I'm doing it my own way." And that's how we did it.

Interesting insight..hadn't heard the background of that famous riff. I wasn't familiar with the Police song, but especially after listening does anyone else think that influenced the early Edge demos? We have the small video clip from Crystal Visions with Stevie dancing and Jimmy coming into the studio..

Very reggae..and also VERY similar to the Police's Bring On the Night. I always wondered how that developed..seemed odd that the song's tone started with a reggae feel knowing Stevie and her tendencies with R&B and Rock.

No one knows of a full Edge demo correct?

Janis is among my favorite female singers. It's so sad and frustrating that she died at a time when she just established her finest band and recorded her best album. Such lost potential. It's also so intriguing to think about how she and Stevie crossed paths.

[vivfox]

Dubbed by Rolling Stone Magazine as "The Best Hippie Queen Earth Mother," Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks was the perfect example of what a woman in the '70s should personify. When talking about style in the 1970s, you would be hard pressed not to bring up the bluesy rock singer. Her frazzled blonde hair, perfectly draped jackets, and kick-ass boots set a standard for fashion in her time.

With hits including; Edge of Seventeen, Belladonna, Stand Back, Talk to me, I can't wait, Leather and Lace, Stop Draggin' My Heart around...need I say more? She has 8 solo albums and at least 9 with Fleetwood mac, keep in mind "Dreams" was Fleetwood mac's only number one hit.
In may of 2011 Stevie released "In your Dreams", her first album since Trouble in Shangra-La in 2001. She has made a huge comeback and was just recently nominated for an induction to the songwriters hall of fame. I think all things considered she deserves her own playlist on songpop!

Thursday, November 15, 2012, Merry Christmas, Stevie Nicks and a Giveaway

Paige Kellerman Blog
http://www.paigekellerman.com/2012/11/merry-christmas-stevie-nicks-and.html

Morning Readers,

The Christmas I turned fourteen was probably my roughest, to date. There's no worst first world problem than not getting what you want on Jesus' birthday. Am I right or am I right? Children in the improvrished countries knew they wanted to eat. I knew I hated everything I got for Christmas and would show I had absolute disregard for anyone else's problems by curling up on the floor, under a blanket, and crying for the entire day.

That's what happens when you give a friend Stevie Nick's Greatest Hits, when she's fourteen.

That's what happens when the same girl gets a boat-neck sweater she didn't want.
That's what happens when socks are in abundance, but the girl was dumb enough to answer the question, "What do you want for Christmas, Paige?" with ...

..."Oh, nothing. Just World Peace."

Idiot.

I think I must have imagined the piano version of Edge that I remembered hearing... now I can't find it but I swear I had heard one...

I think the main reason Stevie gets 50% credit for Bootylicious is because not only did it inspire the song, but they actually used the original Edge of Seventeen track. At the very beginning of Edge, you can slightly hear Stevie wail (you can hear it really well on the Timespace version). The track seems a tad slower on Bootylicious, but you can still hear Stevie's wail. In fact, they just looped the same part so you hear her wail multiple times!

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IyYnnUcgeMc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

As far as the piano demo goes, did you go to her thing at the Grammy museum? She supposedly played Edge on the piano and segued into Rhiannon and then into Moonlight (maybe not in that order) and talked about how she uses the same chords all the time and she's pretty much just been writing one long song her whole career. Anywho, I've never heard any piano demos of Edge, but maybe thats where you heard the piano version? Also, there is this version, which is the studio version with only the piano, keyboard, and vocals! Probably as close to a piano version as we will get.

This one also starts off with no guitar, but it kicks in.

Thanks for these ^^ Loving them!!! :thumbsup:

[WildHearted]

I actually have the multitrack stems someone posted on here a while ago, and one of them is just the entire piano track by itself. It's really epic. I know the guitar part gets a lot of love because it's so upfront and dsitinctive, but there's some really awesome piano action going on that really makes the song imo.

You know, I downloaded some of those when they were posted but not Edge. Just tried searching again, and the link is dead. Would you or anyone mind posting? Listening to the stripped down versions last night, I noticed the piano as well! I preferred the demos without the guitar actually (as epic as it is) just because the piano alone makes the song sound the MOST different without it. If that makes sense..haha.

Would love to hear the track by itself :thumbsup:

I think it's the piano that really drives the song. The guitar is pretty consistent throughout, but that piano part evolves with the vocals and distinguishes the different motifs.

And I'll see about uploading them asap.

Completely agree! You really feel it with the piano. There's a driving beat that I just loved when listening to the demos.

Thanks so much, looking forward to the upload whenever you have a chance.

Not sure if this has been discussed..Dave Stewart in possible collaboration/talks with Grace Potter. I'm a HUGE fan, and he has really been talking up Grace with posts to her performances and tweeting her, asking if they could talk.

A fan responded if he was attempting a Grace/Stevie collaboration..I couldn't find the convo on twitter but he said something along the lines of 'possibly' 'who knows' or 'we'll see'

That would be epic. Grace herself is somewhat of a Stevie fashionista/performer. She has done GDW with Warren Haynes & Gov't Mule and bears a slight Rumours era resemblance. Check out her pipes and VERY Stevie Rumours tour GDW/Rhiannon howls at the end of the Stone's Gimme Shelter Live:

Horror show for Nicks fan
By MICHAEL GARTLAND and KATHIANNE BONIELLO

What happened to all the peace and love?

A Stevie Nicks fan who paid big bucks to see the Fleetwood Mac songstress perform in Woodstock claims he got more than he bargained for when security guards beat him down for sitting in the wrong seat.

What made the assault even more of a bummer was that a venue employee gave Marc Kurzman and his fiancée permission to sit where they did, according to a federal lawsuit Kurzman filed in Manhattan federal court last week.

TOTALLY agree! Resembles and could do Stevie justice the most of anyone I can think of!

Can't believe you've seen her that many times. I've been trying to get to a Chicago area gig the past two years, and the dates just never seem to work out. She's coming in January the exact day I fly out of town..waiting for another opportunity very soon! :thumbsup:

Was it 12 years ago? I was trying to figure out which concert it was and I knew Woodstock was a long time ago, but I thought maybe I was mistaken about the venue. The statute of limitations wouldn't allow him to file a complaint after that much time had passed.

Well you said the 'venue' was Woodstock and Stevie played there in 1998 or maybe it was 1999? It might be considered an outdoor venue but if you didn't mean to say Woodstock maybe it was from another type of indoor venue. I didn't read the link you had posted.

That's along the lines of what I was thinking: that they called it Woodstock as a recognition short cut, but that they were really referring to a nearby venue. Like when you refer to someone as playing a big city when the actual concert is in a small town adjacent to the city.

Deap Vally play scuzzy blues rock'n'roll that references their love of Led Zeppelin and The White Stripes – not what might be expected of two girls who met in a learn-to-crochet class back home in California. Drummer Julie Edwards and singer/guitarist Lindsay Troy have caught the attention of both critics and their fellow musicians; Josh Homme personally asked them to support Eagles of Death Metal. Both girls are huge Fleetwood Mac fans, so they shared their top Stevie Nicks tracks, as well as telling District MTV what's going on during their UK tour.

District MTV: Where in the world are you and what are you doing?

Deap Vally: Shepherds Bush in London. We're here for a live session at Maida Vale with Zane Lowe for BBC Radio 1.

D: What does Stevie Nicks mean to you?

DV: Stevie Nicks is one of the most influential front-women of rock in the last fifty years. She's got that unmistakable voice, that sexy hair, that style, that swagger, those songs. Girlfriend's got it goin' on. Oh, and I'm named after Lindsey Buckingham. Pretty f***ing cool.

D: Your ultimate musical style icons?

DV: Led Zeppelin.

D: Your essential on-stage wardrobe?

DV: We are junkies for rock 'n'roll glamour. What we wear on stage is so important to us because we're rock warriors and we need our uniforms. I always wear cut-offs and chains, sequins, leather, fringing... Julie will usually rock a minidress. Our outfits are custom-made by our friends who are crazy talented designers - Kittinhawk and Michelle Rose.

D: Where has been the most inspiring place you have visited?

DV: New York. We were there for CMJ. We played 5 shows in 4 days -- It was a total whirlwind, we received so much love there. The shows were amazing. The pizza was life-changing. The pastrami ridiculous. I went jogging across the Williamsburg Bridge a couple times; it's a pretty epic run.

D: Your favourite place to shop?

DV: American Vintage, Wasteland (Los Angeles), Lemonfrog Shop (Echo Park).

D: Why did you choose these songs?

DV: Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen. So heavy, Nicks at her most ferocious.

Fleetwood Mac – Rhiannon. Everything about this song is perfect - the tension, the simplicity, the melody, the harmonies, the basic beat.

Fleetwood Mac – Dreams. "Players only love you when they're playing"...what a great lyric.

Fleetwood Mac – You Make Loving Fun. The guitar riff is so tasty.

Fleetwood Mac – The Chain. So heavy with the weight of inevitability.

While on tour with Dire Straits, hanging out in the hotel bar, after a show, Stevie was there. It was like seeing Santa or your teacher at the grocery store. I froze. I could hear her raspy voice but couldn’t turn around. She was hanging out with Steven Van Zandt. Steven and Stevie. I didn’t really care about him…(til I watched Sopranos twenty three years later.) He and my boyfriend were trying to get into an argument and get in a fight. His hat was pissing off my boyfriend. It was exciting and I was 19 years old. I didn’t know anything except I was in a room with Stevie Nicks.

I was heart broken, she was very drunk and out if it and obnoxious and loud and messy.

My boyfriend introduced us and I was instantly 7 years old. ’Hi.’ Meek.

She didn’t even look at me. She was all sloppy and falling over in her seat and it was awful. I wanted to cry. ”No Stevie!!!!’

This would be great- I have been a fan of Grace Potter for about a year now, and saw her live once, but I am a fan of her older stuff and I can't stand Dan Auerbach's production/influences on the latest album (The Lion, The Beast, The Beat). I feel like Dave could really help Grace and the Nocturnals get back to their roots and revisit their originality without being forced to delve into the mainstream, as Grace has said she was scared of when she was working with Auerbach.

Life Stories, Jan Uebelherr for the Journal Sentinel

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/201640171.html

Obituary writer Jan Uebelherr reflects on those who've left us and the nature of human endings.

Today I wrote about Joey Kruzel, a woodshop teacher in MPS for 31 years. At home, he made just about every stick of furniture in the house.

He was a creative soul who loved music, too. He loved Fleetwood Mac, and "Gypsy" was his favorite song. He loved Stevie Nicks' voice.

"He'd also seen Fleetwood Mac in concert, and the first time he played the song for me, I remember him twirling around the living room with his arms spread, trying to show me how her white dress had fluttered every where," said his daughter, Megan Harney.

"Several weeks before he died, he told us he wanted the song played at his funeral. So we will," she said.

"The day before he died, he'd stopped responding to me and my mom, but I played "Gypsy" for him. He got a big smile on his face, his head went from side to side, and he tapped his fingers.

"That is my last meaningful memory of my dad, so whenever I hear that song...I will see his expression in my mind."

Here it is, and here he is, on a recent trip to California. Rest in peace, Joey Kruzel.

Sometimes when you're working and can't really focus because you're doing 50 different things at once, it takes a truly shocking occurrence to snap you back into a numbed reality.

Enter Ke$ha.

The 26-year-old showed up to the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday looking like a whole lot of things. Basically, she looked like a cross between Chloe Sevigny's misguided cousin, Stevie Nicks and someone who couldn't figure out whether to go to Coachella or the Marilyn Manson concert this weekend.

Or just Ke$ha, I guess.

Just got this sent to me from a friend, had never seen it before. Sorry if it's been posted before but it was totally entertaining to me, and more than a little disturbing. I remember the news stories on it but this is the actual restraining order papers. Apparently Stevie can cure homosexuality and this dude wants to kidnap her and "make babies" with her. Oh lord. :laugh:

Q: Did Stevie nicks die?

Q: And what’s with the Stevie Nicks nonsense?

Last year there was a headline about “The Cocaine Queen” dying. My kneejerk joke on Twitter was “RIP Stevie Nicks.” Which I thought was kinda clever in an “I’m old and I remember the 70s” kind of way. Apparently there are a lot of young women — painfully young — who are a bit more into Stevie Nicks than anyone should be into another person, and none of them have a sense of humor. A few thought I was breaking news and when they figured it out, these would-be witchy women decided that I was the worst person in the world. Please don’t tell any of them about my cat. I may get death threats.

Stevie Nicks Voice Changes: Can a Perforated Septum Affect Your Voice?
Stevie Nicks has come back onto the stage in a big way. The current Fleetwood Mac tour has shed the spotlight on her once again, and among other topics, she is opening up about her struggles with drug addiction. Among the most prominent tales in Nicks’s lore is that of the hole in her septum. She has openly discussed that it is large and that it affects her eyes and her sinuses. But she has also mentioned it impacts her singing voice.

Interesting article written by a doctor (in otolaryngology and laryngology), rest of article here: http://www.ohniww.org/perforated-septum-affect-voice/

Rock art show features Beatles, the Boss & more
MGK Classic Rock Art Show

Published: Tuesday, May 07, 2013 By David Kleinman Correspondent

Rock art is in a genre all its own.

The Classic Rock Art Show is an event that's the first of its kind, featuring the world's largest collection of paintings, drawings and photographs created by and depicting some of the most celebrated names in classic rock. For two weeks at the Neshaminy Mall, these pieces will be on display and available for purchase.

The concept for the Rock Art Show began in the early ’90s, the creation of WMGK radio promoter Scott Segelbaum's design while he was working out in Los Angeles. Segalbaum reflected on the smash success the opening night of the show had.

"People came out of the woodwork. Elton John came to our opening night, Stevie Nicks, Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. They all started contributing artwork to this charity event that we did."

Saw this on Tumblr and wasn't sure if it'd been posted here yet. Little interview w/ Stevie from May's issue of O Magazine.

I can’t live without…
my 14-year-old Chinese crested-Yorkie, Sulamith. She travels with me almost everywhere, and she’s even got mini Stevie Nicks flaming capes, black chiffon dresses, and white jackets that my wardrobe mistress made for her.

My ideal Saturday night is…
curling up on my pink couch in my Santa Monica condo to watch a Law & Order marathon. It can be any of the iterations: Criminal Intent, SVU…whichever one is on makes me think I could be a detective.

My backup career would be…
running a hotel. I enjoy taking care of people and making them feel comfortable. When my friends come to visit, I want them to walk into their room and know that the cashmere blanket or perfect pillow was picked specifically for them by me. I could totally open a hotel and spend my days putting beauty and care into each room.

The one thing I do every day is…
write in my journal. Someday, when I’m no longer here, I want my nieces and goddaughters to sit on the floor with 30 leather-bound books and read about my life—not from the Internet, or a biography, but from me.

[Excerpt from an article about the Israeli Presidential Conference]

http://www.schusterman.org/x-move-us/israel/community-friendship-and-the-israeli-presidential-conference

July 3, 2013 by Sarah Lynch

The day before I flew to Tel Aviv I tried to comfort myself by writing a Stevie Nicks quote in my journal: “I don’t feel alone. I feel very unalone. I feel very sparkly and excited about everything.” While I didn’t share those sentiments at the time, I knew what I needed to feel excited about the next chapter in my life. I needed a sense of connection to community. I needed to make new friends. I needed intellectual growth. Ultimately, I wanted proof that I could navigate foreign places on my own. I’ll be moving to Medellin, Colombia, in a month and having this proof would provide a much needed confidence boost. I thought spending time in Israel could help. So what did I find?

The real question is 'what do Israel and Columbia have in common?'

Isn't it odd that, as many times as Stevie has been photographed or seen at steakhouses around the country, she would have a "meatless" vegie burger named for her?:shrug:

Saw an article on the Dolly Parton news site (feel free to make fun :laugh: I do indeed check the Dolly news every week, lol), Billboard made some 4th of July slideshow on which people best represent each state. (Dolly of course, was Tennessee). I scrolled through out of curiosity and sure enough, Stevie represented Arizona.

[This is an old blog post by Joanna Pasceri about visiting the Hall of Fame]

http://www.wkbw.com/news/blogs/pasceri/How-I-Spent-My-Summer-Vacation-99432379.html

Unlike some of those big network news personalities, I did not vacation in South Africa and take in a World Cup game.

Nope, in my world, I was lucky to get to the other side of Lake Erie! My family spent a night in Cleveland during my recent time off, and guess what? We had a great time! The highlight by far was our trip to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. What a place! First of all, did you know from the air, you can see it's shaped like a turntable? That insight came courtesy of former Channel 7 Morning Anchor John Kosich, who works at the Cleveland ABC affiliate now and used to do reports from the station helicopter.
It's really cool! Our visit just happened to coincide with the year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death. As we walked in, a tribute was taking place in the lobby for the King of Pop. Some really talented singers were belting out some of his famous hits. We all got "I love MJ" pins, too!

There is so much to take in at the Hall of Fame. Six floors wind around the inside of the building (part of the turntable effect), and they are filled with all kinds of memorabilia from rock's legends. On display are clothes worn by Mick Jagger (he is so tiny), Stevie Nicks (she was so tiny), Freddie Mercury, and The Beatles. I even saw the black ballet pointe shoes that Stevie Nicks wore on the cover of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album! There is a piece of Otis Redding's airplane that crashed and killed the soul singer. There is John Lennon's piano, complete with candle wax drippings! There is a whole floor dedicated to The Boss, Bruce Springsteen!
We saw the leather jacket he wore on the Born to Run album and his 1994 Oscar for "Streets of Philadelphia" (It was a little rusty believe it or not!!!). There are also his Grammy awards, plus a lot of his songwriting notes. There are notepads filled with famous lyrics, including for the song, Glory Days! If you appreciate music as much as my family does, it's a great place to see. Not quite the World Cup, but still a winner to me!

Over his long career, Lightfoot been mentioned as a favorite songwriter of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Jimmy Buffett, and his tunes have been covered by dozens of other musicians. He’s been nominated for five Grammys and won 16 Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys). Still, he said he was surprised by his induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame last June.

“When the day finally came, I was on tour, so we had to get into New York to get it done and it was quite thrilling. We got to meet Kenny Rogers and Stevie Nicks, we had Meat Loaf and Bob Seeger and Ben E. King — they all performed, and I performed. I met a whole bunch of great people,” Lightfoot said. “It’s a real honor to be inducted into that society.”

I mean, we have articles called "On Taking Yourself Seriously: How to Not Care What People Think of You." But we also have articles like "How to Look Like You Weren't Just Crying in Less than Five Minutes." So what I want you to take away from my talk - the lesson of all of this is to just be Stevie Nicks. Like, that's all you have to do because my favorite thing about her - other than, like, everything - is that she is very - has always been unapologetically present on stage and unapologetic about her flaws and about reconciling all of her contradictory feelings. And she makes you listen to them and think about them. And yeah. So please be Stevie Nicks. Thank you.

Stevie Nicks On Beyonce: 'She's Not Skanky. I'm Glad We Have Her'

Stevie Nicks has spoken out against pop stars in the past, but she has nothing but love for Beyonce.

“Beyonce’s great," the 65-year-old Fleetwood Mac singer told The Telegraph. "She’s got her alter ego [her stage persona, Sasha Fierce], but Beyonce the girl, the woman, is very sweet and nice and polite. She’s a good role model. She’s not skanky. I’m glad we have her.”

Nicks would know, having appeared in the video for Destiny's Child's 2001 single "Bootylicious" -- a song that sampled Nicks' 1981 hit "Edge of Seventeen."

The "Rhiannon" goddess sings a different tune about Beyonce than she has certain pop stars in the past, namely Britney Spears. After Spears' "obnoxious" 2003 MTV VMA smooch with Madonna, Nicks said the singer needed to "figure a way out of this hole she has dug for herself." Nicks told Extra in 2009 that Spears is not a "real rock star" because she "did not join a band when she was 18 and practice every day for five hours Monday through Friday and then play gigs Friday, Saturday and Sunday."

From an Interview Magazine interview with Ernest Greene

http://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/washed-out-paracosm#/_

HAFFORD: One of the interesting things to me about Fleetwood Mac is that their entire career with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham is songs about that relationship, which has been over for 40 years but they're still performing them. Do you feel like that introspection is something that you respond to in their music or look for in your own music?

GREENE: I think so. For me personally, I'm always writing from what's happening in my emotional life. Even without thinking about it a lot of the time, it comes out in the songs that I'm writing. I think one reason why this record is kind of uplifting is that I was in a really good place making it, which is a lot different than Within and Without and my previous couple of EPs before that. I hope that I would eventually grow and write from different perspectives but right now I don't think I've changed that much since college or since I was a young adult. It started from a very personal place.

Game of Thrones Helped Stevie Nicks Get Through a Recent Bout of Depression



By Julie Miller





Game of Thrones has been a point of obsession and intrigue for us over its past three seasons on HBO. But if used correctly, Fleetwood Mac front woman Stevie Nicks claims, the medieval fantasy series can also have vaguely therapeutic applications—or at least it did for her.

While speaking to the Herald Scotland on the European leg of Fleetwood Mac’s current tour, Nicks segued a question about grieving her mother’s recent death to the HBO show. After she died, Nicks says, “I didn’t leave the house for almost five months.

“I worked on the edit of my documentary about the making of In Your Dreams. And then I got pneumonia. With my pneumonia and my mother’s death I watched the entire first season of Game Of Thrones—so that was great! That certainly took my mind off everything.”

Not only did the series distract the Grammy winner, but it re-ignited her creativity, inspiring her to write some G.O.T.-centric fan poems. Explains Nicks, “I’ve written a bunch of poetry about it—one for each of the characters. On Jon Snow. . . On Arya. . . On Cersei and Jaime.” She also says that she has a talent crush on the author of the Game of Thrones book series, George R. R. Martin, who is her age, and “would love to write some music” for the show.

In other interesting revelations, Nicks explains why a romance between her and Prince never took off. At the time, Nicks says, “I was totally a drug addict and Prince is the other side of drug addict—Prince is straight as an arrow.” She adds, “He would bring me cough medicine when I was sick and then I’d ask for another spoon of it, and he’d go, ‘I didn’t come here to start you on a new drug!’”

'Game of Thrones' got Stevie Nicks out of depression: She's written fan poetry

By Terri Schwartz



October 3, 2013 5:38 PM ET

Follow @Terri_Schwartz on TwitterTwitter | Google+Google

"Game of Thrones" has touched a lot of people's hearts and inspired many. But did you know that the HBO fantasy series helped Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks out of a depression after her mom died?

"I didn't go [to the studio]. I didn't want to go. But it wasn't just that -- I didn't want to go anywhere. I didn't leave the house for almost five months," Nicks admits to Herald Scotland of the affect her mother's death had one her. "I worked on the edit of my documentary about the making of 'In Your Dreams.' And then I got pneumonia. With my pneumonia and my mother's death I watched the entire first season of 'Game Of Thrones' -- so that was great! That certainly took my mind off everything."

Not only is Nicks now a fan of the show, but she's gone as far as to write fan poetry about its central characters. "I would love to write some music for 'Game Of Thrones.' I've written a bunch of poetry about it -- one for each of the characters. On Jon Snow ... On Arya ... On Cersei and Jaime."

Nicks also admits that she's a huge fan of author George R.R. Martin. Both are 65 years old, and Nicks says she's in awe of what Martin has been able to create.

"It blows my mind that he's able to create this vast, interlinked world," she says. "As a songwriter I write little movies. But I can't imagine sitting down and writing even one small book. But then probably somebody like him couldn't imagine writing 'Edge Of Seventeen' or 'Rhiannon' -- couldn't write a whole little life in two verses and a chorus."

[Where Stevie stays at the Hamptons]

Hollywood Reporter
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/stay-hamptons-film-festival-647267

Cottage 1 is your own private oasis in the Hamptons, located at the Inn at Windmill Lane (23 Windmill Lane) in Amagansett, New York. This is very likely totally different than any hotel you have visited in the Hamptons as it feels so much like a quiet, treasured home-like sanctuary away from the maddening Hamptons crowd (whose zealous fans won’t even tweet about it so as to protect their secret pleasure from the masses!). With its seven suites and three cottages (daily rates for Cottage 1 range from $1,050 winter mid-week, to $2,100 during the summer months; other rates range from $375 to $800), The Inn is tucked behind high hedges set off from the main road just far enough to be so private that it’s hardly even known by the locals (just ask Tyra Banks; Stevie Nicks; and other paparazzi-dodging celebs, as the Inn has been their choice of Hamptons lodging). You approach the Inn across its hidden pebbled parking area, then stroll down its meandering masterfully-laid cobblestone path to be warmly greeted at the lovely little gatehouse by Innkeeper Erin Harris, who acts more like a discreet charge d’affaire in a private mansion, ready to address (and deliver) your every desire to insure an enchanting stay.

The free-standing 1,666 square-foot tri-plex Cottage 1 has three lavishly appointed marble mosaic-tiled bathrooms with their solid nickel fixtures from Urban Archeology, highlighted by the master with its magnificent his-and-hers shower with rainfall heads fit for a king and queen. You can curl up in the soaring cathedral ceiling living room with the sun splashing through the towering clerestory windows, relax to music piped throughout the cottage with its Colorado vNet distributed digital sound system, and be warmed by its three crackling wood-burning fireplaces, or spend a rainy day wrestling with one of the custom hand-made Stave Puzzles, the Rolls Royce of puzzles as they are meticulously hand crafted and polished cherry-backed wooden puzzles that are totally unique to the Inn, as they mimic the artwork in each room, or retreat to its personal exercise room with a steam room and rain shower. If you feel a bit too confined in your plush Duxiana king-size bed, you can always snuggle into the cedar daybed on your private bluestone covered patio, curling up in front of its own fireplace to toast s’mores. With the Cottage’s very private grounds, you can feel free to sunbathe in whatever state of dress (or not) you please; no staffer will ever enter until they see you leave the property. This is the kind of place that is custom tailored for luxurious, languid, peaceful living, savoring the delightful sea breezes wafting in from the ocean less than a mile away.

The Inn is in the final stages of completing a brand new free-standing four-bedroom house, to be known as the 21 House, to which we were granted an exclusive private tour with Harris. With its four bedrooms, fully-equipped chef’s kitchen and all the other luxury finishes and touches of the other cottages, it will feature a glassed-in fireplace in the master bathroom king-and-queen shower enclosure itself. Think of it as a private luxury home with all the benefits of a lavish hotel.

And Katy speaks about having just become friends with Stevie and just had tea with her in London and tells how Stevie's very kind and a sweet woman and that she passed on little nuggets of wisdom and Katy says she "sees straight right through my soul".

You may recall a few years ago while Stevie was doing press that she (somewhat) reached out to Katy. When asked during interviews who she would like to work with, Stevie indicated Katy.

Next thing we know... Stevie's doing the voice over for the teaser trailer for one of Katy's singles "The One That Got Away". Stevie indicated around the time the song made her cry saying it reminded her of "my own life and losses, and of the last fight that Lindsey Buckingham and I had".

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.

I dont know this was noted on here.

From InTouch website .

http://www.intouchweekly.com/stars/news/stevie-nicks-was-devastated-cory-monteiths-death

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.

The 10 Most Heartbreaking Moments on Glee's Farewell to Finn Episode, 'The Quarterback'

"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."

Lea Michele Dedicates Her Teen Choice Award to Cory Monteith

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.

Women that Men Choose to Listen To, The Independent

Shea Tomkins – 08 October 2013

WHILE the songbird that is Sinead O'Connor and Wrecking Ball performer Miley Cyrus were volleying verbal insensitivities at each other via the insult-on-tap facility that is Twitter last week, I happened upon a little gem of a programme that was airing on TG4.

It was a documentary charting the life of Dusty Springfield (Mary O'Brien) and neatly wrapped up in the confines of an hour her rise to stardom, struggles with sexuality, submission to a reported drug and alcohol addiction, her re-emergence to popular acclaim in the late 1980s, and finally her death, through cancer, in 1999.

Watching Dusty performing on the small screen got me thinking about female vocalists and prompted a conversation with my male peers (I'm sure the ladies would have very different ideas) which led to me carrying out a poll to see which lady vocalists 'the lads' felt deserved a place in the upper echelons of popular music history. The responses were many and varied. I whittled it down to a top ten, with the results as follows. And there's not a Whigfield to be seen!

10) Rita Coolidge: An American singer/songwriter that transcended boundaries to score hits on the pop, country, adult contemporary and jazz charts, it was this husky-voiced singer's loved-up performance with Kris Kristofferson (they were married for seven years) on the Old Grey Whistle Test, in 1972, when they sang Help Me Make it Through the Night that lives long in the memory. A You Tube treat.

9) Stevie Nicks: As a member of Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist, Nicks has sold over 140 million albums worldwide and for many men is the undisputed 'Queen of Rock and Roll'. Her tempestuous relationship with songwriting partner Lindsey Buckingham added to the sizzling magic of many Fleetwood Mac releases.

8) Laura Marling. A product of the London folk scene, Marling won Best Female Solo Artist at the 2011 Brits Awards and has a career in its infancy.

7) Lisa Hannigan: This Dubliner began her musical journey as a member of Damien Rice's band before embarking on a solo career in 2007. Hugely popular on the contemporary Irish music scene.

6) Karen Carpenter: The first name to be mentioned twice in our poll, her 'beautifully clear voice' has a soothing effect on the ears even if the sound of Carpenters' records often comes in for criticism as being 'sickly sweet'.

5) Mary Black. Back in the day when cars had tape players, I knew a man that loved long-distance travelling just so he could listen to Mary's delightful tones over and over again. She has a special place in many Irishmen's hearts.

4) Aretha Franklin: Ranked number one in Rolling Stone's Greatest Singers of All Time poll, you just have to start listing her hits to understand why is she is recognised as the 'Queen of Soul'.

3) Kate Bush: Her mother was a Daly from Dungarvan, County Waterford, and Kate's talents hailed from another stratosphere. Her unique styles mean she will forever have a devoted following.

2) Dusty Springfield: The woman whose ashes are spread over the Cliffs of Moher. A truly wonderful voice and 'rumour has it' Adele has been approached to play her in an upcoming biopic.

1) Sinead O'Connor: Few will deny that Sinead O'Connor not only ranks among the best female vocalists that this country has ever produced, the lads are in agreement that she is possibly the best.

The video to Nothing Compares 2U has been in the news recently, and is one of the most wonderful five minutes of pop music in history – one of those rare things that you remember seeing for the first time.

Sinead, then, deserves her place at the top of the 'women men like to listen to' chart. Further thoughts would be welcomed at [email protected]

By Denise Martin

After being burned alive in last week’s premiere of American Horror Story, Misty Day returned tonight as the hippie witch with the power to bring back the dead. She also excels at keeping her neighboring alligators fed. But what she really loves is Stevie Nicks. (I think we all died a little when young Zoe asked if Stevie was the winner of American Idol, yes ?) With Franken Kyle left in the care of mystical Misty, one can only wonder: Will he dig “Rhiannon” as much as Misty? Vulture spoke with the wonderful, if especially spoiler-averse, Lily Rabe about all things Stevie and Misty’s mysterious life in the New Orleans swamp.

What did Ryan Murphy tell you about Misty before you started shooting?

I knew Misty would be burned at the stake in the first episode and that I’d immediately be back. But the big thing he told me was that she is obsessed with Stevie Nicks. That’s been a major part of figuring her out, post burning. The wardrobe, the hair, it’s all very Stevie-centric.

How does one approach playing someone with a Stevie Nicks obsession?

Well, I’m pretty obsessed with her, too. It’s been delicious. It’s not that Misty just wants to look like Stevie or listen to her music. She’s quite isolated and lonely, and she has this love affair with Stevie. Stevie is her idol and the lyrics are her mantras that she lives by. She’s looking for someone to help her understand why she is the way she is, so in that way her soul is nourished by Stevie. It’s not a superficial obsession, it’s a deep love. And yes, you will see some shawls.

Stevie and Ryan Murphy previously collaborated on Glee. Do you know if she got a heads-up about your character? In the past, she hasn’t exactly embraced the rumors that she was into witchcraft.

Oh, she and Ryan are absolutely in touch. Actually, when I found out about that I had to pretend I didn’t know about it because I’d get too excited. I wouldn’t be able to function. Someone said something like, “Well, we might change this one thing. We’re e-mailing Stevie now about it.” Uh, excuse me? You’re doing what? I don’t really freak out about many people, but even talking about her right now my cheeks are turning red. She’s a really big deal to me. To everyone. But yeah, Ryan and Stevie are e-mailing, and so she’s very aware of what we’re doing. Yes, there are plenty of things you can read about people having these theories about the witch thing, but I don’t know anything about that. Certainly it was something she was interested in and wrote about in her songs.

Have you gotten to speak with her?

No, no, no. I might just combust.

Do you think we’ll see Misty take flight, à la Rhiannon? It would be a witchy cliché, but awesome.

I can’t say. It would be awesome. Flying is what I want if I could pick a personal superpower.

Why do you think you’re obsessed with Stevie?

My older brother is a musician, and he’s ten years older than me and really cool. When I was little, he would play a lot of Fleetwood Mac and R.E.M. and Aimee Mann and Liz Phair. He taught me very, very well. I became especially obsessed because I started learning the guitar on set of American Horror Story last year, and the first song I asked to learn was “Landslide.” Why am I obsessed? There’s something about Stevie that is kind of supernatural. Please know I’m not saying there’s anything witchy about her, but she is sort of beyond comprehension. She is other-worldly. And for Misty, for a girl in this world who has this thing that is extraordinary, Stevie Nicks is great, because she has that. She really has magical powers in my mind.

So you’re into the idea of witches?

I love all that stuff. When I found out when we were shooting here in New Orleans, where it’s really at your fingertips, it was very exciting. I’m very open to all of those things.

In tonight’s episode, Misty manifests in Zoe’s car. Did they summon her when they brought back Kyle?

It’s connected to that. I think they summon her without even knowing. What they’re doing belongs to Misty in a way, so there’s a necessity for Misty to be there. Franken Kyle is left with Misty and from what it looks like, he can no longer speak. Not that I could pick a favorite, but everything I’ve done with Evan Peters is my favorite. On a show like this, you’re never gonna get scenes with everyone, but last season, I would be like, “Hey Ryan, I really love that Evan. I really want to work with him.” He’s a really special actor. I’ve never read or seen anything like the relationship between Misty and Kyle. There are so many things in it. Evan is so brave.

How would you characterize their relationship? Does she feel maternal toward him?

I wouldn’t say no and I wouldn’t say yes. There’s a lot of colors in that relationship and I would hate to name them because I think it would take something away. The relationship is very fluid and keeps growing. All of a sudden this new thing will come into it. It’s definitely complex.

Misty has the power of resurgence, but she also had some sort of control over the alligator that emerged from the swamp and ate that guy. Could she be the next Supreme?

She is very, very powerful, more powerful than she understands in the beginning. She has a huge relationship with nature. But she’s not wondering about the Supreme because she’s out in the swamp, so ... look, I know she’s listening to a lot of Stevie.

What does she do all day alone in the swamp?

Oh, she’s a busy girl. She has quite an elaborate garden. I do think she’s a very creative person based on the way this house that she’s built for herself looks and is maintained. And she has to go shopping somehow to wherever the hell she finds those amazing clothes. The boots are a necessity no matter what she’s doing, because you gotta be in boots if you love Stevie.

Jen Atkin

Please describe yourself in three words.
Lucky, busy, and obsessive.

What was your first job?
When I first moved to LA in 2000, I worked as a receptionist at Estilo Salon.

When did you know you'd made it?
When I got to feed Stevie Nicks' meter.What was your most stressful moment? Feeding Stevie Nicks meter…no, I don't really get stressed. I love having challenges with timing and deadlines. I think not making flights has to be the most stressed I've ever been.

Who is your ultimate style icon?
Pat Cleveland.

What's your favorite look you've ever created?
It's so hard to pick just one. It’s like choosing a favorite child. I had a lot of fun at the Met Ball this year with Jess Alba and Minka Kelly, creating cool braids with metal details in the hair. SO it’s a TIE.

What's inspiring you now?
Can't stop listening to Capital Cities' "Kangaroo Court"—it sounds so '80s and fun. I don't like movies. I have been watching The Day Before, a Sundance documentary series about designers the day of their shows. Love watching hard-working, successful people pulling it all together.

What's your desert island essential?
Funny you should ask: I'm on an island now doing a castaway-themed shoot in Malaysia. Would have to be Oribe oil for the hair. Every girl needs hydrated castaway hair.

[vivfox]

What does it mean to feed a meter?

[kak125]

What does it mean to feed a meter?

lol, it just means to put change into the meter but these days they don't really have meters anymore at least they don't in most of the bigger cities. they have those pay stations instead where you have to enter your license plate number to pay.

[michelej1]

In Los Angeles and the greater Southern California area, I still encounter a lot of meters, but many of them -- at least the ones I prefer -- take credit cards and I don't have to scramble to find coins as much as before.

Excerpt from a piece on Westboro protesters:

http://www.queerty.com/westboro-chickens-out-as-hundreds-of-counter-protesters-show-up-to-support-judy-shepard-20131023/

Tonight, WBC is scheduled to protest an Eagles concert in St. Louis, Missouri. Their website claims that front man Don Henley is a “serial fornicator” who banged Stevie Nicks in the 1980s. And that begs a serious question — if sleeping with Nicks inspired Lindsay Buckingham to write some of the most iconic music of the 1970s, then why did Henley produce almost exclusively garbage in the 80s?

The celebrity she’d most like to meet: “Stevie Nicks. I’ve looked up to her for so long, and I admire her stage presence and voice. I also think she’s a good person. I’d love to know more about her. I cover ‘Landslide,’ ‘Gold Dust Woman,’ and a lot of Fleetwood Mac stuff.”

http://www.essentialbaby.com.au/life-style/family-entertainment/chrissie-swan-what-ive-learnt-by-40-20131028-2wc8y.html

Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac does a much better show when she's clean and sober. I say this after seeing her perform many years ago to a packed and somewhat shocked arena while remaining mostly horizontal on what appeared to be a bed of incense, handkerchiefs and tambourines.

[Excerpt from interview with Michael Grimm. He noticed his addiction problem during a Stevie Nicks tour]

By KATE MAGANDY

http://www.sunherald.com/2013/11/14/5116431/michael-grimms-rebel-spirit-propels.html

The Lortab did its job, but it took its toll. Grimm became addicted to the narcotic. He said he knew there was a problem during his tour with Stevie Nicks in 2011.

He got in touch with a doctor while on tour, who prescribed Suboxone to treat the prescription painkiller addiction.

"It was the only way to get me through the tour and when the tour was over I went to detox and tried kicking it."

Grimm said when he returned to Las Vegas after the tour with Nicks, he went to a local doctor, who again prescribed Suboxone.

"It had a big grip on me, physically, mentally and emotionally," he said. "But God is on my side. I'm pulling through this. I put myself in this mess."

'I didn't feel right'

After two years on the Suboxone, Grimm told his doctor he wanted to quit it. Grimm said his doctor said he wanted the singer to keep taking it three more years.

But Grimm had had enough. He got in touch with a friend in Hancock County in the medical field who told him not to quit the Suboxone cold turkey. She helped him wean off the drug, which he has been off of for six weeks, he said.

But the damage had been done.

Don't know if they kept the house, but there was a recent article that said Stevie would spend most of December and January in Phoenix, and Stevie herself said she was flying back to Phoenix right after the January 8 corporate gig.

The lack of foresight is astonishing. Every fan at the time was saying where is the video? Where are the music videos? They should have gone into editing this the moment the recording was done and released it concurrent with the record.

I am in the process of getting a film edited this very moment that I produced. Hire a professional editor. Leave them The F alone and let them do a rough cut. Then give them notes. That's how editing works, if anyone involved in this had been a legitimate film maker they would have known how to handle it.

They could have spent 20k and just had it done. And then sold a package form of the CD/DVD , and still had a theatre release if they wanted. As always, the lack of professionalism of Stevie's management leaves me shaking my head.

A number of celebrities have also stepped up to endorse Beats Music, including Sharon Osbourne, Will.i.am, Florida Georgia Line and Pearl Jam. In addition, the app launched with playlists by "Friends of Beats," with contributions from Demi Lovato, Zedd, MC Hammer, Shaun White, Stevie Nicks and Tom Hanks. Those celebrity endorsements are likely to keep up a steady drumbeat thanks to Iovine, who is also chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records and Trent Reznor frontman for Nine Inch Nails and Beats Music's Chief Creative Officer.

The launch encountered a minor glitch on iTunes when an early version of the app was available a few minutes before midnight, Eastern time, a few minutes ahead of schedule. After some users complained about being unable to sign in, Beats Music advised users to uninstall the early version and wait to download the "correct app."

Or maybe I'm just really, really not down with the cool kids. Because almost none of the list made any sense to me.I worked for eight years in the newspaper business. Middle-aged editors put garbage like that in the newspaper so that parents will hand the paper over to the kids (who are sitting on the couch playing Candy Crush and Flipagram on their iPhones). The corporate mentality is: If you can show kids something "cool" (like an In-Out List) in the newspaper, maybe they'll train themselves to enjoy reading one, and ultimately subscribe to one when they reach adulthood.

There's a Stevie mention in Stephen King's new (excellent) book, "Doctor Sleep".
It's on page 237. A grown-up Danny Torrence is talking about "having a thing for Stevie Nicks at one time."

Honky Tonk and Stevie Nicks Inspired Wedding Ideas: Roni & David

http://www.rocknrollbride.com/2014/02/honky-tonk-and-stevie-nicks-inspired-wedding-ideas-roni-david/

February 2, 2014

Roni and David had their first baby, Quintessa, a few months ago. So when their friend, pro photographer Mysi of Soda Fountain Photography asked if they’d like do a shoot inspired by their love of music, they jumped at the chance to get some gorgeous photos of themselves and their new addition.

The shoot took place at Honky Tonk BBQ Garden, in Chicago. Roni wore a selection of handmade dresses and headpieces. There were stringed instruments everywhere, harmonica favours, a rocking horse and bathtub that they stood in! The vintage furniture was perfect for displaying the gorgeous cakes, flowers and paper good created by some awesome local wedding vendors.

“Roni and David actually had a wedding shortly after this shoot, but because it was going to be so small and their little family was so big with love, I wanted to do something fun for them”, Mysi wrote. “They are both musicians (the kind that play everything), so we infused some instruments and a little Stevie Nicks feel to the whole thing. I told everyone not to smile at me, but there were some slip ups and it was perfect. I love everything.”

[Excerpt from Interview magazine interview with members of the group Color War by Erin Brady]

LIN: There are a lot of influences. If I were to try to list them I would just keep going on forever. We'll leave it up to the writers to figure that out. We've had some interesting comparisons.

BRADY: Like whom?

MOUND: PJ Harvey and New Order was one from our earlier shows. I was like, "What?"

BRADY: I read Stevie Nicks in one review for you, Lindsay.

MOUND: I'm not mad.

No. 2 on this week's Entertainment Weekly Hit List:

Stevie Nicks on love: "It would be fun if I could find a boyfriend who understood my life." Little does she know, she's actually had four suitors this year. The first three never made it past the fourth layer of shawl, and the other one kept asking out the back of her head while she was midtwirl.

From a review from a Miley Cyrus concert:
If you were still wondering if Cyrus was singing everything herself, this is where weaknesses started to appear. Drive, one requiring Cyrus to really push, showed her faltering in the low parts, while Rooting For My Baby and a jangly acoustic cover of OutKast's Hey Ya veered dangerously close to Stevie Nicks territory (and not good days Stevie Nicks).

From an article about artist Carrie Tornatore in Ithaca.com by Keri Blakinger

http://www.ithaca.com/news/candor/artist-spotlight-carrie-tornatore-s-winged-visions/article_053edca2-94c8-11e3-ade2-0019bb2963f4.html


One of the paintings she described involves Rhiannon, a figure in Celtic myth and also, Tornatore pointed out, the topic of a Stevie Nicks song. After reading that Nicks wrote the song because the name sounded interesting and then later learned about Rhiannon’s role in mythology, Tornatore found herself drawn to the figure too. She said, “The story is that she overcomes a lot of adversity and I identify with that.”

[A tribute band thinks Stevie might make a guest appearance on March 10. I doubt it]

Salford Online, 3-4-2014 by Tony Flynn

http://www.salfordonline.com/entertainmentnews_page/48624-competition_winner:_rumours_of_fleetwoood_mac.html

Last month we held a competition to give away a free pair of tickets to see the critically-acclaimed tribute act Rumours of Fleetwood Mac who will be performing to Salford's Lowry Theatre on Monday 10 March.

We asked you the simple question

Which BBC sports series uses the Fleetwood Mac song, 'The Chain', as its theme tune?

The answer was of course:

Formula 1 Grand Prix programmes.

Once again we were literallly snowed under with entries, sadly there can only be one winner and the first name out of our fabled lucky hat was, Sean Kilgarriff from Irlam.

"This is amazing! I am so pleased that I have won this competition, said Sean.

"I bought the album when it came out in 1977 and still have it complete with its original inserts.

"I have heard a rumour that Stevie Nicks herself will be making a guest appearance, so I am going to find my clothes from 19777 and see if I can still fit in them.

[Johnny Stew]

Has anyone heard of a new Stevie Nicks "Lifetime Special" ???

It was reported by the LA Times back in early 1996, that Stevie was working on a Lifetime special and a boxed-set retrospective. Nothing came from the first half of that info, but of course we eventually got 'Enchanted' in 1998.

Oddly, the photo that Daniel DiCriscio posted looks to be from that era (1996). Which makes me wonder if his tweet is in regards to the photo itself, or if he's referring to something that's happening currently. Does Lifetime even do these kinds of "specials" anymore?

[michelej1]

There's something screwy with this thread.

You're probably right that he is referring to working with Stevie in the past. I guess it will be interesting to see his answer to questions springing from the post.

Pop music fans know Katy Perry can sing. But did you know she can write? Perry has co-written many of her own songs including “California Gurls” and “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F).” She’s also written for Kelly Clarkson, co-authoring Clarkson’s 2009 song “I Do Not Hook Up.” In fact, many famous faces have written pop songs for other acts. Bruno Mars is one of the composers of Cee Lo Green’s feisty “Forget You.” The Whitney Houston hit “I Will Always Love You” was written and originally recorded by Dolly Parton. David Letterman’s sidekick Paul Shaffer co-wrote the Weather Girls’ disco classic “It’s Raining Men.” And Prince penned the 1980s song “Manic Monday” by the Bangles under the pseudonym “Christopher.” But that’s not Prince’s only surprising credit. Stevie Nicks based her 1983 smash “Stand Back” on the melody of his “Little Red Corvette” – so much so that he receives royalties and even played the trademark synthesizer parts – uncredited, of course. Other songs, though, are written by people who remain behind the scenes. Diane Warren has written a string of hits over the last 25 years, including “How Do I Live” by LeAnn Rimes, and “Un-Break My Heart” by Toni Braxton. She’s won a Grammy, a Golden Glob,e and received multiple Oscar nominations for her work. Back in the 1960s, the songwriting team of Lamont Dozier and brothers Brian and Eddie Holland wrote many iconic Motown songs, including The Supremes’ “Stop in the Name of Love” and Marvin Gaye’s “Can I Get a Witness.” And a then-unknown Carole King was part of the Brill Building stable of writers, who were behind dozens of radio favorites like the Shirelles’ “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?”. More recently, Katy Perry’s hits "California Gurls" and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)" each had several co-writers, including Perry’s friend Bonnie McKee. Because even someone as multi-talented as Katy Perry is allowed to get some help.

[From a NME review of Courtney Love's album]

March 17, 2014 by Ben Hewitt

http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/holes-courtney-love-rank-the-albums



But for now, let’s stick with ‘Celebrity Skin’, the album on which Hole fluttered their eyelashes at the mainstream and looked ****ing brilliant while doing so. Because while ‘Pretty On The Inside’ is so disturbingly, arrestingly honest, there’s a different type of bravery behind ‘Celebrity Skin’. By rights, in fact, it shouldn’t really work at all. In theory, it’s a reinvention too far, a group of nasty, grungy punks softening up and swapping irascible noise for sleek choruses and shiny melodies. In practice, it’s a mainstream honey trap, mixing Courtney’s lifelong hero-worship of Stevie Nicks and FM pop with angsty stadium-rock. Everyone knows the title track, of course: that crunching riff, those tongue-poking-hole-in-cheek lyrics mocking Hollywood vapidity, the butter-wouldn’t-melt posturing blown apart by the snarl “You’d better watch out/ What you wish for”. Elsewhere, there’s the Fleetwood Mac stuck in an LA-cocaine flake blizzard of ‘Awful’, the escapist haze of ‘Malibu’, the ghost of Kurt Cobain flickering in ‘Playing Your Song’ (“I had to tell them they were wrong/ And now they’re playing your song”), the walloping exuberance of ‘Hit So Hard’, the deft intimacy of ‘Northern Star’... no, I definitely prefer this one. I think.

“Growing up, there were a lot of girl artists like the Spice Girls, Aaliyah and Destiny’s Child,” she said. “But none of them really played instruments and I would always look up to Stevie Nicks and Blondie -- they are dope female musicians. So I just see us as a band. When people call us a girl band, I take it as an insult -- being a girl in a band shouldn’t be a thing. It seems so medieval.”

Daily Review by Ben Neutze, April 1, 2014

http://dailyreview.crikey.com.au/ella-hooper-and-the-fickle-business-of-the-music-business/


But her focus is back on music, with her forthcoming release In Tongues largely inspired by her time on the road with Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks.

“Having some time to spend with her was a big influence on this solo record; her solo material from the 80s, like Stand Back and Edge of Seventeen. She went solo then rejoined the band and does whatever she wants, and she has very similar inspirations to me, with the witchy, esoteric themes.”

But the supporting performances with her band at the time, The Verses (a country-indie fusion band formed with her brother Jesse post-Heidi), didn’t lead to bigger and better things.

“It was a tricky project. We got signed, we had a lot of interest, we got to go to the States and record, and it was all looking very good. Then we had this incredible experience of touring with the Mac, and then things didn’t go much further than that. But if that’s all that that band achieved; a great record and touring with the Mac; then that’s not bad.”

Yuck. It's happened.

It's been a very emotional day for Miley Cyrus.

The singer is still mourning the death of her Alaskan Klee Kai puppy Floyd, who passed away on Tuesday -- and the pooch was still on her mind during a performance in Boston earlier today.

The singer invited thousands of fans to a special KISS 108 FM sound check before her Bangerz tour in the Massachusetts capitol city later on this evening, where she dedicated "Landslide" to her late pet.
"My dog who is, I shouldn't say he was my favorite, but he was my favorite, he passed away," she told the crowd. "I just wanted to do this song for him because we used to always listen to Fleetwood Mac together and this was his favorite song."

Miley was visibly upset during the performance, and, at one point, even started crying. Her sister Noah even came onstage to comfort Cyrus, giving her a hug and moral support while she sang.

Q Who are some of your most famous jewelry clients?

Stevie Nicks, Elton John, Dick Clark, Duran Duran, Sheryl Crow. It's all word of mouth. We had the Rolling Stones here one day, completely unannounced. They came in during the day with their limousine parked outside, shopped around and pointed to what they liked, and their guy handed me money. It was cool.

Who are your musical heroes?

Hands down my vocal hero is Etta James, her voice and the passion that she infused in her music is just breath taking. Dusty Springfield, Janice Joplin and Stevie Nicks have all played a huge role in my musical upbringing , as have all the Rock and Roll greats. My dad brought me up watching his band play songs by Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis, I think I was their backing singer by the age of 7!
