American Horror Story to use 8 Stevie Nicks songs

[Jondalar]

American Horror Story: Coven will use 8 Stevie Nicks songs this season. Misty Day = obsessed with Stevie
According to the American Horror Story Wiki, Misty Day is a major character in "Coven". She is considered to be a necromancer witch.

Misty Day Character Background:
A young woman from a backwoods Pentecostal community in the bayous of Louisiana, Misty Day is misunderstood and even feared by those in her community. Without a Coven to call her own, Misty spends her days wandering the swamps and listening to Stevie Nicks.

From a TV Guide Q&A:
American Horror Story: Coven Stars Answer Burning Questions on What's Next

Ryan Murphy was asked:
Can Misty use her regenerative power to bring herself back to life? (If you watched the first episode, her character was burned at the stake).

Murphy:
Of course. I love her character. Her character is obsessed with Stevie Nicks. The season really is an allegory or metaphor for any minority in the country where you feel alone. She's a girl who has never known other witches. The only witch she's ever known is Stevie Nicks, so I reached out to Stevie Nicks and asked her if we could use her music. Lily has an amazing Stevie Nicks shawl twirl scene in Episode 3. We used like eight Stevie Nicks songs this year.

[76sparky]

There were no Stevie songs used in episode 1 - i was on tenterhooks waiting.

[Jondalar]

God, the witch who was burnt has a huge obesssion with Stevie. Stevie is sort of a character in the story and its starts 2nd episode.

[GoldDustBoy]

I guess I'll have to start watching the show. Is it any good?

:lol: Stevie quote "I am not a witch! Get a life!" :lol: Of course, allowing a show like this to use her music would never encourage anyone to believe that Stevie is a witch. :rolleyes:

[Jondalar]

American Horror Story is kicking butt in the ratings. She knows what she is doing. She knows trends. She'll be known as a witch no matter what. Her publishing company is called Welsh Witch Music and she writes songs about Sisters and Goddesses. It's all over but the crying.

I dont understand all the fuss about her supposedly being a witch. She may be Wiccan, Christian, Muslim, or proclaim herself a coconut tree, and it still wouldn't affect me liking her as an artist. People really like to burden themselves with things that don't matter, or even worse get aggressive and dangerous about them.

[michelej1]

EIGHT! That's more than I expected.

I very much enjoyed the first episode of this season. Unlike last season, there is more than just shock & gore... there is humor and a plot that will make sense. The first season was great, but the second season just fell flat for me personally.

[wheart]

EIGHT! That's more than I expected.

Michele

I'm dying to know which songs they will use. Hopefully some from IYD. I'm sure if Stevie is at all involved in the choosing of said songs, they will ALL be from IYD. :lol:
and yes, she's totally a witch.

I am not a big movie fan, but I like a good sitcom, drama or sf series. Ill give it a try. :)

Rhiannon, Sorcerer, GDW, SOTM, POTU come to mind based on what I managed to find about the content of the show. Kathy Bates plays one of the characters. Another reason for me to check it.

[StreetAngel86]

and yes, she's totally a witch.

of course she is!
how else do you think she manages to stay ageless and has defied death multiple times?
....

MAJICK :lol:

[GoldDustBoy]

It's not like there are owls and crystal balls in her house. No, wait... :lol:

[Jondalar]

The show has just broken records on FX, it's hotter than ever and Stevie is sorta in it. Now, if she could do some new songs for its soundtrack and land that Game of Thrones soundtrack...

[atlnightbird]

I wouldnt be surprised if they use the song "New Orleans" at some point...would get more people to check out "In your dreams"

[Aussie W/Heart]

Any Aussie's in da house? if so just wondering if this series has aired here yet? Free to air or Foxtel? Thanks in advance..

[Jondalar]

I wouldnt be surprised if they use the song "New Orleans" at some point...would get more people to check out "In your dreams"

I hope they do. That is a sneaky song. It pops up in my head once in awhile and it's got such a bittersweet ending.

[michelej1]

I wouldnt be surprised if they use the song "New Orleans" at some point...would get more people to check out "In your dreams"

Now that seems like a shoe in.

But we are going to get some non-spooky songs too, I bet. I would absolutely die if they played something like Blue Denim, because it would be the last thing I'd expect and then BOOM.

Michele

[Jondalar]

Ok, so in episode 3, Misty Day, the witch, has a little dance number to Stevie Nicks song. She does a twirl in it. I'm guessing Gypsy, Edge of Seventeen or Stand Back.

[wheart]

Michele

yes, Blue Denim would be surprising, to say the least. Street Angel the song kinda has a witchy vibe to it...I could hear that in a TV show.

[michelej1]

Yes, with 8 songs you know we're going to get at least one shocker.

Most of them we will go, "Oh yeah. I could have guessed they'd choose that one." But then there will be one that it will seem like it came out of nowhere. Fun.

I wonder if Stevie will watch to hear her songs. She probably won't like the content of the show though, if it's gory this season like it was in the first. I mean, obviously Games of Thrones is gory, but they don't have body parts floating around in glass jars for no reason on GoT.

ok, I bet he uses some obscure stuff.

[Eponymous]

Does anyone know where I can watch Episode 1 of Coven. I missed it and would really like to see it before Episode 2 airs on Wednesday night. I can't find it online and, unlike most channels, FX does not seem to re-air the previous episode on another night prior to the next episode. I have never watched AHS before but I intend to watch this season, I just forgot last Wednesday that it was on that night.

[In Your Dreams]

FX will rerun it next Wednesday. Episode 2 will air and then they will air an encore of episode 2. Right after that they will air the first two episodes back to back.

[Eponymous]

Thanks for letting me know. I probably wouldn't have noticed it would be shown after Episode 2 aired twice...Seeing it after Ep. 2 is better than not getting to see it at all. I may record them both and time shift to watch it in order, though I'm not sure it matters that much.:shrug:

[Jondalar]

I think Emma Roberts is terrific in this show.

[Aussie W/Heart]

I watched the show for the first time tonight here in Oz, & now cant wait to watch next weeks episode..

Im guessing this may of been episode 1, :confused: im hoping some of you can remember, would much appreciate the heads up..

Just a couple of scenes that may jog some memories, cheers!

It ended with Cathy Bates character being resurrected after one of the witches discovered her buried under the pavement in New Orleans.
Also the Hollywood movie star witch flipped a bus load of guys that drugged & gang raped her at the fraternity party..

[seekerj]

EIGHT! That's more than I expected.

Michele

I don't know if it's literally 'eight'.... notice the word 'like'..

it literally reads 'like eight'. Could be any number. 'Eight' could be an exaggeration, or simply a guess.

[kak125]

ahh they opened the show tonight with edge of seventeen. it sounded so good!!

[charmedhour26]

Is anyone watching Coven? Edge of Seventeen just played during opening scene and it was fantastic :]

[charmedhour26]

ahh they opened the show tonight with edge of seventeen. it sounded so good!!

Sorry to copy your post. I didn't look, I was too excited to check if anyone else already posted.

[kak125]

its all good no worries at all! lol did you see the rhiannon scene? that was the best!!

[louielouie2000]

For those who are still holding out watching, our very own "White Witch" Stevie was a topic of conversation in tonight's episode. :p There was even a Bob Masse poster present. :thumbsup:

[charmedhour26]

I did. It was so awesome!!! I can't wait to see what other songs they use. Personally, I would LOVE if Sisters of the Moon was used.

I was watching with a friend, who doesn't listen to Stevie or understand diehard fandom. As soon as Rhiannon came on, I flew off the couch. I think I scared her more than Coven did. :lol:

[MarkMc1990]

I'm so thrilled about Stevie's music and image/persona being a fixture of this season!

You don't suppose it's possible Stevie could make a surprise guest appearance do you? :shrug:

[APerfectLie]

Dear god I hope she does! I mean, she could have easily filmed a cameo while FM was on break this summer and she would be herself so there wouldn't be much acting on her part :] *fingers crossed*

[MarkMc1990]

One thing that struck me as odd was when Zoe asked "Stevie Nicks from American Idol?"

Now, Stevie did make a brief appearance as a guest mentor to the contestants on American Idol a few years ago, but that just seemed like a pretty random thing to reference. I wonder if maybe whoever wrote that part of the script thought she was a permanent judge on the show at one point, or perhaps they confused her name with Steven Tyler's.

[vivfox]

Dear god I hope she does! *


Where the **** have you been???

That struck me as odd too, but now that you mention Steven Tyler, I can see the reference. I don't think it was a mistake, more like a young teenage girl saying, Stevie Nicks, who is he?! Just like all the normal people we meet and we mention Stevie and they have no clue really who she is and we are like, OMG STEVIE NICKS!!! LET ME INVITE YOU INTO HER WORLD!! So I don't think the writers were confusing her with Steven Tyler, but they were either A. Insinuating that a young girl may have only been exposed to Stevie thru her one episode with American Idol or B. A young girl may confuse Stevie with Steven Tyler.

Where the **** have you been???

And I've been around, just creepin these days usually :P

P.S. here's an interview with Lily Rabe where she talks about her character's as well as her own obsession with Stevie!

Another interview with Ryan Murphy talking about Stevie's influence on the show:

http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/10/17/american-horror-story-ryan-murphy-boy-parts/

"I called Stevie Nicks and first I said, “I want to use you in the show.” But she was very resistant because from the beginning of her career people who are in the Wiccan community had given her a hard time thinking she was a witch and she got a lot of scary fan letters. She didn’t like the darkness of that, and I explained to her the part and she’s like, “Aw f—, let’s just do it. OK, I love it.” She’s not a witch, but she has an attraction to those mystical creatures because they’re fun to write about. So she gave me the rights to her music and she and Lindsay Buckingham are working on a special sort of redo of a song they did about a witch."

^^I wonder what this means!?

so would that be Rhiannon or Sisters of the Moon, was there another song they did about a witch?

[UndoingTheLaces]

Is it just me or can you guys totally see Lily Rabe playing Stevie in a movie?

[michelej1]

so would that be Rhiannon or Sisters of the Moon, was there another song they did about a witch?

Three Birds of Rhiannon?

Well, the idea that she and Lindsey are working on something (or were at the time) keeps me hoping for that FM album.

As for her appearing on the show, doing Chris Isaak is one thing, but American Horror Story show is dark, lurid and gruesome in so many ways. It certainly can have a fun side, but figure in the layers of shock value and I just can't imagine Stevie appearing on it.

Three Birds of Rhiannon?



Or what about the demo Melacine/The Witch/Water Witch?

If I were to bet money I would say it was just simply her way of talking about doing Sisters of the Moon live for the first time "since 1979" ;)

[Josh2003]

"Melacine was insane," they said....they burned your body any they wished you dead. "You're a witch!" they cried...they feared the silence in her cat-green eyes.


!!!!

[WildHearted]

If I were to bet money I would say it was just simply her way of talking about doing Sisters of the Moon live for the first time "since 1979" ;)

You're probably right on the money. Although I wish it were something for recording purposes.

[Newzchspy]

Where the **** have you been???

Still here honey :):)





*** Yes, I know , you weren't asking me ** :)

[louielouie2000]

You're probably right... though Sisters isn't about a witch at all. It's about Stevie's coming to grips with fame.

I don't know about y'all, but I seriously hope they pull out a couple of surprise songs. Edge & Rhiannon? Yawn.

Oh, and regarding Stevie showing up on the show herself... I kinda hope that doesn't happen. It would spoil the atmosphere of her being this elusive higher being. Plus, Stevie's a HORRIBLE actor... just look at her appearances on Up All Night & the Chris Isaak Show. :shocked: :laugh:

[BombaySapphire3]

Wasn't she essentially playing herself on those shows:shrug:Stevie knows she is a terrible actor she admitted it herself as far back as the Bella Donna era when she still being offered roles in films.John Carpenter wanted her for the original version of The Fog even naming Adrienne Barbeau's character Stevie in the film when he couldn't get her.

[Dex]

Wasn't she essentially playing herself on those shows:shrug:

She was playing herself, but it's still acting. You still need to appear natural in a completely artificial situation. And she was completely unsuccessful at that on both occasions. So she was right on the money in 1981 when she said she couldn't act. And for an earnest and high-calibre show like AHS it would just be really glaring. I'm sure everyone would recognize that though, and a Stevie appearance would never actually happen. I really like her being featured in the way that she is at the moment, though. I'll have to watch this season when I get back home. :)

[paleshadow]

John Carpenter wanted her for the original version of The Fog even naming Adrienne Barbeau's character Stevie in the film when he couldn't get her.

I don't doubt the name "Stevie Wayne" was inspired by Stevie Nicks, but I seriously doubt John Carpenter was trying to get Stevie for the film. I've never heard that story before! If he was, he sure did dodge a bullet because she's right, she can't act. I think the fact that she is so stiff when she's playing herself is proof of that.

I'm 51 and was around then in real time and devouring every word about Stevie that I could find.He actually did want her for the DJ in the film ..it would have been a real coup at that time as she was a huge sex symbol.I'm sure if she had acquiesced and done a screen test he would have quickly changed his mind.:lol:

[MarkMc1990]

Oh when I quoted that part of the article, I assumed Ryan Murphy meant she and Lindsay were recording a new song (or new version of an old song, rather) to be used in the show.

Only in some secret code. Then the lyrics don't match the meaning. BS

It would be neat if pictures of Stevie come alive or something and she rescues another witch at the end.

[BombaySapphire3]

The Wayne part was inspired by John Wayne, because I asked Adrienne Barbeaux about it at a horror convention.

A sexy female rock DJ in a fog shrouded lighthouse was inspired by John Wayne?Are you sure she didn't mean Bruce Wayne? that would have been more believeable.

[KarmaContestant]

You're probably right... though Sisters isn't about a witch at all. It's about Stevie's coming to grips with fame.


Yes. It's about fans, critics, feeling ostracized despite her popularity, questioning the motives of everyone around you, phony 'friends' who are really just groupies, using you to further their own personal agendas.

All the witchy lyrics about black robes and moons and stairways are just a cover up, because Stevie has never been really comfortable just saying what she thinks or feels. There's always an analogy. Always a metaphor. She describes Planets of the Universe as 'the meanest lyrics' she's ever written. :lol:

[Jondalar]

Well I could write a song called Toe Jam and then tell the world it's really about world peace.

[Dex]

I think it'd be fair to describe SoTM as being about a witch, though. Yes, of course the character is a metaphor for Stevie herself, but literally the song is about a witch. I doubt Ryan Murphy is really so up on Stevie-isms that he's going to casually describe that song as "A metaphoric song about Stevie coming to terms with fame" in an interview.

But then, he could surprise me. ;)

Thank you. Nightbird belongs on this show. Sable on Blonde, Trouble in Shangri La, Moonlight, New Orleans, Has Anyone Written, Outside the Rain, Still of the Night, The Wild Heart, Beauty and the Beast, Illume, Smile at You...

Judging by the Director's attitude we are going to get the standards, Gypsy Dance on next weeks episode by Lily Rabe, Gold Dust Woman, Landslide, Stand Back... I don't think we are going to get any surprises except maybe a redo of song for the finale.

[Dex]

I know they're boring choices, but I always thought GDW and Sara both had an ethereal and dramatic quality that would make them good choices for a lot of soundtracks. I'm hoping they pop up, standards though they may be.

Moonlight would be a good choice too. It'll be interesting to see what else pops up.

[KarmaContestant]

Well I could write a song called Toe Jam and then tell the world it's really about world peace.

But then your lyrics would have be interpretable as being about peaceful things in the world. :p

Yes, please!!

I haven't watched any episodes yet...but I've been recording them.

[Jondalar]

OMG I can't find my CD with Twisted Demo on it. Can someone send me it?

[UndoingTheLaces]

One thing that struck me as odd was when Zoe asked "Stevie Nicks from American Idol?"

The thing a lot of us long time Stevie fans forget is that we came into Stevie's fandom through her videos and albums, though the 70's, 80's, and 90's. The 16 year olds are discovering her through her Twilight connection, American Idol, hopping on stage with Maroon 5 and stuff like that. So it's not unusual for Zoe to have AI as her first Stevie exposure.

There was a little girl on Vine who posted a video with the title being something like "My Stevie Nicks impression". I conjured images of this little girl throwing on her mom's lace table cloth and spinning around and around. Was I surprised to see this little girl in a full face closeup put on a pair of gold and tan aviator sunglasses and start lipsynching to Edge of Seventeen. I thought it was so funny for someone's who's signature thing has been the same for 40 years to now have a whole new image in the minds of this new generation.

Arts & Entertainment, The Daily Sizzle - October 16, 2013 9:55 pm
Stevie Nicks’ witch rumors fly again in tonight’s ‘American Horror Story: Coven’ episode

Rumors about Stevie Nicks being a witch have hounded the singer-songwriter for years, so it’s little surprise the writers of “American Horror Story: Coven” have woven the long-time Fleetwood Mac songstress into this season’s storyline.

Lily Rabe’s character, Misty Day, is a young woman from a backwoods Pentecostal community in the bayous of Louisiana. Without a coven to call her own, she spends her days wandering the swamps and jamming to — who else? — Stevie Nicks.

In Wednesday night’s episode, “Rhiannon” plays in the background in Misty’s cabin, where Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) has brought her Frankenstein of a boyfriend, Kyle (Evan Peters).

“Who sings this?” Zoe asks Misty.

“Who sings it?” Misty asks with the incredulity adults use on children oblivious to pop culture facts that pre-date them.

“Fleetwood Mac,” Misty continues, looking at a photo of the bewitching singer. “Stevie Nicks is my hero.”

“That’s Stevie Nicks from ‘American Idol?’” Zoe asks. (I love the humor so far this season.)

“Stevie Nicks. The White Witch. The only witch before you I’ve ever known,” Misty says.

“She’s an actual witch?” asks Zoe.

“Listen to the lyrics,” Misty says wistfully. “This song was her anthem.”

Rumors of witchcraft have been so prevalent in Nicks’ life, they have their own sub-section in her Wikipedia (or should that be Wiccapedia?) entry:

A rumor that has trailed Nicks through the years is that she is a witch and is heavily involved in Wicca. While she admits to having a high regard for the mythic and gothic, she denies any solitary dedication to any one religion, including Wicca. She has spoken about this erroneous image in numerous interviews. Nicks’ music is copyrighted under the name Welsh Witch Music, a reference to her song “Rhiannon,” which she introduced as “a song about a Welsh witch” in concerts between 1975 and 1978. Nicks also stated: “I spent thousands of dollars on beautiful black clothes and had to stop wearing them for a long time because a lot of people scared me. And that’s really unfair to me, I think, for people – other people – to conjure up their ideas of what I am or what I believe in.” (She says this in the video below.) Nicks has spoken of her faith, stating that she believes in angels and knows that she is alive today because “there was a God” looking out for her during her years of addiction. Because of the rumors of witchcraft, Nicks has been pursued for years by numerous stalkers from around the country. At one point, her longstanding attorney, Ed McPherson, who routinely has obtained restraining orders against all of them, indicated that she had at least one stalker a year. However, all of her stalkers have abided by the restraining orders, and none has become violent.

As Nicks said in the second video posted below: “I have a lot of things more important that I can worry about than people thinking I’m a witch.”

Wonder what she thinks of Wednesday’s episode…

[michelej1]

[So, it seems like Seven Wonders might be one of the Stevie songs we're getting based on a producer's reference to those words. By the way, I didn't know that Tim Minear was on American Horror Story. This guy has rocked my world with his Angel scripts, in the past]

http://tv.yahoo.com/blogs/fall-tv/horror-story--post-mortem--exec-producer-tim-minear-talks--boy-parts--and-next-week-s-twists-233806493.html

Yahoo

We know that Fiona's the Supreme. She sucked the life out of the doctor in "Bitchcraft" and nearly fried the investigators' brains in "Boy Parts," among other things. What exactly is the extent of her powers?

What we learn coming up is that there's a test that a Supreme in waiting has to go through — a series of tests — called "The Seven Wonders," and so each of these tests represents a different area of magic. So presumably, Fiona has successfully performed all seven wonders.

But as Cordelia says in the first episode, the Supreme is a witch that has many gifts; some even say all gifts. Even [the witches] are not entirely sure to what extent the Supreme might hold power.

She does not have Nan's power [clairvoyance], so far as we know.

__________________________

We love the use of "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac as Misty's theme song. Whose decision was it to use a Fleetwood Mac song?

It was Ryan's. When we were talking about Misty and who she was, he just had this notion that she would be obsessed with Stevie Nicks. The idea being that Misty was kind of cut off from her tribe, that she didn't know any other witches. She sort of plucked this image out of pop culture and projected onto her a kind of sisterhood, a thing that she was yearning for. And whether or not Stevie Nicks is actually a witch is something to be determined.

Does Stevie Nicks have a greater role in "Coven"?

[Misty's] obsession with Stevie Nicks doesn't go away. And we will be hearing more wonderful Stevie Nicks music.

If that doesn't point to a cameo appearance, I don't know what does. Though I still have my doubts. :)

If there's a bookmaker taking odds, I put all the money I have on NO appearance by Stevie. Not on that show.

Why not, Adam Levine, a big fan of Stevie's did last season?

Yeah, I agree. Based on Ryan Murphy's interview, it sounded like she wasn't really down for the project at first, but said "Oh, f*ck it!" It keeps her in the headlines, and everyone that matters knows she isn't an actual witch.

But it's funny, ever since the show aired with Stevie's music, my site stats have gone through the roof with search queries like "Is Stevie Nicks a witch?" and "Stevie Nicks white witch." A lot of silly people out there. :lol:

[Steviegirl]

I want to watch this show; however, I don't get the channel. Does anyone know if there is a way to watch it? This season isn't on Netflix yet, and it's not on Hulu. Just curious whether anyone knows how to stream it from someplace. Thank you.

I have friends who watch American Horror via torrents. The shows are posted online within 12-24 hours. I think that is probably your only option until this current season is available on DVD... which will be quite some time.

Thank you! :)

Oh when I quoted that part of the article, I assumed Ryan Murphy meant she and Lindsay were recording a new song (or new version of an old song, rather) to be used in the show.

It looks like one of the upcoming episodes is titled: "Burn, witch, burn!" Seems like a rather appropriate episode for Melacine/The Witch. :nod:

Where did you hear this information? :confused:

If you google Episode 3 American Horror Story it's in one of the articles. I read it at work today. I'm not kidding. Something happens during the dance that I think is magical and possibly scary. I'll try to find it again.

one article says the stevie nicks music is used to revive people in some crazy way

[Didn't know she was Jill Clayburgh's daughter]

Excerpt from interview in Times Picayune, NOLA

http://www.nola.com/tv/index.ssf/2013/10/american_horror_story_coven_re_2.html

Lily Rabe’s character Misty Day, burned for her powers of life-restoration in the premiere episode of “American Horror Story: Coven,” returned in episode two to police bayou gator-harvesting and care for Zoe’s patchwork boyfriend, Kylenstein. Day’s house, actually a built set in the “Coven” soundstage complex in New Orleans, reveals the character’s strong affinity for Stevie Nicks.

Concert posters and even a vintage 8-track tape decorate the set. The story link may have come from Rabe’s personal appreciation for the Fleetwood Mac singer, whose 1975 song “Rhiannon” was based on the legend of a Welsh witch.

“I am obsessed with Stevie Nicks,” Rabe said during a recent visit to “Coven’s” set. “So it was a wonderful when they first told me. I thought it was a joke, because I just learned the guitar. I'm terrible but I am learning, and I started last season. The only songs I wanted to play, because they’re sort of in my register, were Stevie Nicks songs. I'd been playing the songs really badly in my trailer.”

I asked: So, is it possible if not probable that “Coven” co-creator Ryan Murphy (“Nip/Tuck,” “Glee,” the earlier two seasons of “American Horror Story” anthology) learned of Rabe’s passion for Nicks and wrote it into the character?

“I don't know,” Rabe said. “Nothing could have made me happier. I love everything about her. She's incredible and she informs so much of who Misty is. Misty is really isolated when she comes back, and Stevie is her biggest relationship, really, at the start of episode two. The person, those lyrics, who that woman is to her, is really what keeps her going. (What) inspires her and informs all of her decisions is this love of this woman. It's a total love affair that she has with her, so it's really fun.”

The daughter of actress Jill Clayburgh and playwright David Rabe, Lily Rabe is a founding member of the unique “American Horror Story” acting company, with some players returning as different characters each season.

“Something that’s so wonderfully unique, obviously, about the show is that it’s like doing repertory theater,” she said. “That's been the experience for me. All three years I've said yes knowing nothing but the character’s name, I think. First year, I knew her name. I said to Ryan, ‘Nora? Yes.’ Second year, same thing. This year I don't think I had a name when I signed on.

“I think Ryan and the writers and everyone behind the show (are) really supporting these incredible roles and particularly such amazingly rich roles for multidimensional women. You're never going to get stuck. It's very scary to say a blind ‘Yes’ to somebody. I can’t think of very many people I’d do that with. But you know you're not going to be stuck playing a stereotype, and that it will be exciting and that you’ll also be working with these other great actors, some of whom I have been working with all three years. Some of them are new, and always great.”

Another reason Rabe can give Murphy and the show a confident script-unseen “Yes” every season is that she knows that the stories beneath the shifting, over-the-top horror tales told each season have ambitions to transcend the genre.

“Ryan has an amazing ability of saying, ‘This is the world we’re living in’ and then putting all the characters in that show in the same world and letting the audience into that world,” Rabe said. “Virtually no one could do it better than he can. He does it with all of his shows so differently.

“In this show specifically, there is something heightened about it, which can be part of the fun. You really get to let it rip. I would also argue that something I love about the show is that there's a real opportunity, even with these characters, who are supernatural or extraordinary or greater-than or larger-than, to tell the truth.

“That’s why you care about the characters. In Ryan’s shows, the heart of all of it is something very truthful and human, I believe, both as viewer and a fan of his, and also now working for him for three years.”

“Coven” is the first extended residency in New Orleans for Rabe, whose prior visits have been centered around Jazz Fest.

“Living down here is a totally different experience,” said Rabe, who’s been enthusiastically exploring the local music scene in her down-time. “For my character, it's really been delicious and sweet. We’ve been able to shoot on location a lot in the heat, and I love that. It's fun when you're sweating for real and you don't have to spray it on.

“I think there's such an intense and amazing energy in the city that really works beautifully with the show. It does a lot of the work, really.”

[louielouie2000]

By the way, I know some of you don't like me much, but when have I delibertely lied to you all. That is what I read and I bet it's true. The problem is I can't seem to find the original article.

We're all Fleetwood Mac nerds... we like these articles to be posted here so we can read them, or know if the info was heard on a certain radio or TV show.

isn't this show on now

Not until 10 Eastern Time/9 Central.

[charmedhour26]

Sara is currently playing!:]

[charmedhour26]

any updates

In regards to the show or anything Stevie related?

If you're a fan of the show and assuming you've seen the previous episode, here's a quick recap.

Zoe took Frankenstein Kyle back to his mother. Misty was not pleased. Kyle's mother started making out with him. Kyle's mom now realizes that something is wrong with her son. His body is different than before and she starts thrusting on him. Kyle kills her and Zoe finds out.

Cordelia was told that she was unable to have children. So she went to see Marie Laveau for a fertility spell. Marie said hell no because Cordelia's mother is her sworn enemy.

Fiona goes to see a plastic surgeon (?) doesn't like what she hears. She also has a flashback to when he killed the Supreme who came before her. Fiona starts to take Madison under her wing because she believes she next supreme. Fiona tells Madison. Madison yells she doesn't want to be supreme. Fiona tells her to kill her, Madison won't do it. So Fiona kills her.

Delphine is made Queenie's slave. Queenie's finds out who Delphine REALLY is after Delphine's mutant bull man slave (sorry I have no idea what to name him) comes to the house looking for her. Queenie tells Delphine to go hide and she will confront him. Queenie goes outside to find him. She does and says something to the idea that they are both monsters, who need to be loved, and things get heated.

The ladies have new neighbors and they are "bible beaters," a woman and her attractive young son. Madison, Queenie, and Nan take notice when they see the young man unpacking shirtless. The girls take a cake over to their new neighbors. His mother come in and ruins the party and says the have to leave to go to church. Madison gets pissed and throws a knife at his mother and sets the curtains on fire through her mind. His mother realizes what they are and makes them leave. Later she takes a bible to school and confronts Fiona about the girls behavior.

As for things Stevie related, Sara was the only song to play. The twirl was very brief. It occurred near the beginning of the episode while Sara was playing. Misty was dressed in the typical all black Stevie garb (1970s) and had a black shawl. No one was REVIVED in this episode. Kyle was on episode 2. Her music doesn't revive people. Misty has the power of resurgence. They did mention Seven Wonders, but I don't think it was a Stevie reference.

I think I covered just about everything.

[michelej1]

Thank you so much CharmedHour26.

Michele

[Aussie W/Heart]

CharmedHour 26 Thanks & very grateful for the updates :thumbsup:

[rhiannondontgo]

By the way, during the scene where Misty is in bed singing along with Sara, she then says to Kyle "Yknow Stevie didn't really find her voice until she and Lindsey joined Fleetwood Mac. That's the thing. You can't be your best self until you find your tribe. I'm still lookin' for mine."
I thought the twirling scene was really very sweet and moving because it occurs right after Zoe takes Kyle (the first person to ever keep Misty company after all the time she's spent lonely living solitary in the swamp w/ nothing but Stevie music to keep her going) away from Misty's home (leaving her completely alone and devastated again). And in her anger and sadness, she grabs her lacey shawl and starts violently twirling to the rest of Sara. Brief but I thought it held a lot of meaning since Lily Rabe keeps mentioning how Misty's love of Stevie is all that gets her by.

Also, there were the 'Seven Wonders' refs which likely had no SN influence but could give a reason for AHS to play 7W later. And I found it funny that the old 'Supreme witch' had the last name Delongpre (since Stevie's alterego was named 'Katherine Delongpre')

(sorry if anything was already mentioned. half asleep and too lazy to read every post.)

Thank you for that. That was beautifully put. That was the updaate I was waiting for :thumbsup:.

[kak125]

i am liking this season but i think the stevie references are just so out of place here it just doesnt fit with the vibe of the show. if they want to play the music that is fine with me but misty yapping about stevie is just very strange.
i also found last night's episode to be a little too much but then again i have watched all the seasons of this show so far and they are all f-ed up so i guess i cant expect it to stop -ha!!
i hope somehow emma roberts comes back too because i thought she was really good. i found more info here regarding her on the show:
http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/10/24/american-horror-story-emma-roberts-2/

[sleepless child]

These were the Stevie references I saw and heard.

Delongpre was one of the past superior witches.

The 7 wonders reference

The superior that Fiona was talking too was named Anna Lee

I thought young Fiona looked alot like Stevie.

Did anyone notice the Stevie posters in the scene with Misty?

[Jondalar]

ok, now that I'm sober, I can reflect...

How does ????????? go from a Virgin to Miss Bestiality in one episode. Huh? This may turn into last season. And the incest thing, so unnecessary, it was just put in for shock value.

Love Emma Roberts, Kathy Bates and Fiona... The way they use Kathy Bates to make observations about the present is really good. Crying over Obama. Did not see that coming but laughed my head off. The scenes with Emma and Fiona were just great!!!!!

Lily Rabe - her character is turning out to be the most intriguing. She is the perfect obsessed Stevie fan. She uses her music as an escape and crutch.

Angela Bassett feels like a voodoo queen stereotype or something. She has lived longer than Fiona. She should be more thoughtful. Is Angela Bassett supposed to be the bad guy? Feels like Fiona should be evil one. Obviously Mr. Minotaur is this year's Bloodyface. There feels like there is something under the surface of Angela's character that they will NOT show this season.

Are they going to give Nan something to do? She has an interesting character but it doesn't feel like she is going to be utilized. I hope we are in for a big surprise.

[Jondalar]

so have you guys been paying attention to sales, Sara was charting so was fleetwood macs greatest hits and Stevies greatest hits, it's helping them

[There's a video clip with Sarah Paulson on the After Ellen site]

http://www.afterellen.com/afternoon-delight-8/10/2013/

American Horror Story: Coven star Sarah Paulson dished on her new film 12 Years a Slave and playing a “very un-Sarah Paulson-esque person.”

And, in case you’re wondering, Stevie Nicks is “comfortable” with how she and her music are being referenced in AHS: Coven. I always want Stevie to be comfortable, so this info makes me happy.

[Macfanforever]

Thank goodness for the internet. I just played a couple minutes of AHS .I think I'm going to like this show.I guess the producers and the writers were fans of David Lynch too beside being a Stevie fan too.

I'll watch more this weekend.

[bethelblues]

I totally want a Stevie cameo. She could give Jessica Lange a run for her money. Supreme, watch out.

Except that Jessica is a two time Academy award winning actress and Stevie cannot even convincingly play herself..:shrug:

[skcin]

I love this season of AHS, as I did the other 2. But I'm actually a bit disappointed in the use of Stevie's music so far though. I want deeper cuts, darker subject - GDW, Moonlight, SOTM, TISL. I fear they will only use her hits & it could be so much better with the "witcher" songs. Rhiannon was a no-brainer, but Edge? I don't get any connection there. Even Sara was a huge stretch, although it was in a scene with Misty & Kyle.

While I too have been hoping for deeper cuts, I can't disagree with the tracks used so far, and the ways in which they were used.

Edge Of Seventeen is somewhat about being fierce in the face of death & adversity... so Misty reviving the poached gators, and then those revived gators taking out their poachers, was pretty appropriate in my eyes. :lol:

We knew Rhiannon had to be used... after all, like Misty said, it was Stevie's anthem. And the song definitely alludes to a witchy woman. They couldn't NOT use Rhiannon.

Regarding Sara... I thought it's usage was brilliant. The song is about an intense, short-lived love. One that might possibly be rekindled, but is definitely gone. That's pretty much exactly what happened with Misty & Kyle... Misty was falling for him, but Zoe came back to claim Kyle, leaving Misty heartbroken. I thought the implementation of Sara was beautiful, reverent, & unexpected, I loved it! :nod:

I'm looking so forward to tonight's episode. I'm sad to say, this has become the highlight of my week! :laugh: The only way American Horror will disappoint me with their Stevie song choices is if they don't implement Sisters Of The Moon. :p

•No Stevie Nicks this episode. Shame. But we do get Alexandra Breckenridge, so that's fun.

[GavinBrown]

If Stevie makes a cameo, I think it will be very brief and would certainly involve misty. Perhaps Misty will meet her end, and stevie appears as the white witch to take her away? (Cue SOTM song). hahaha

I feel that if Misty truly is all alone in the swamp, listening to Stevie all day & being an obsessed fan, she'll listen to deeper stuff, especially songs with darker themes. It feel almost like a disservice to make her such a superficial fangirl.

[Macfanforever]

Was there any Stevie in the latest show.

BTW . They are not going to use songs that the general public does not know. They probably will stick with her popular tunes.So we are do to hear Rhiannon ,Landslide and so on.

Or we might get surprised.

[louielouie2000]

So who do y'all think is going to be the new Supreme? A couple of episodes back it looked like it was going to be Madison. But since Fiona murdered her, that is no longer a possibility. Plus, it was revealed in this past episode that Madison had a heart problem, and the new Supreme always had to be of perfect health. Obviously Queenie can't be the new Supreme because of her obesity, then. I would think Nan's Down Syndrome would prevent her from earning the title, too. So we're left with Zoe... and the wild card, Misty. Wouldn't it be a hoot if the new Supreme witch of her generation was a rabid Stevie fan? :D

No, of course the show is not completely redeemed, but this is the most I have enjoyed an episode this season. I still require a lot more Angela Bassett. Regarding the Supreme in waiting mystery, the easy guess is Zoe, but let's not rule out swamp dwelling Misty Day. Oh my god. You guys. WHAT IF STEVIE NICKS IS THE NEW SUPREME.

I can see WBC picketing and boycotting FX AHS and giving Stevie grief on witchcraft.

Hmmm, I began to think Misty could possibly be the next Supreme (once she is finds her "tribe") after last weeks episode. Misty's character is the dark horse of the show who just may emerge to prominence. Right now "she's lonely, lost & disconnected" & only finds comfort through Stevie & her music.:shrug:
Also, the reference in episode 3 about the Supreme having to master the "Seven Wonders" stood out to me - possibly portending Misty's destiny and tying her Stevie obsession and obviously the song. Then again, this could all be wanton spectulation.;)

[Jondalar]

I think Misty is the new supreme. Sorry, but resurrecting things from the dead is an extremely strong power and Misty wants a tribe (coven). She would be a good supreme. I can sort of see what they are doing -- poor, ostracized, lonely, Misty will finally get her tribe.

Emma Roberts was great on this show. She better be back.

[Jondalar]

Plus, she cannot kill Misty.

[BombaySapphire3]

Plus, she cannot kill Misty.

Why did Marie Le Voux put the same spell on her as she did the Kathy Bates character?

Misty has the power of resurrection.

Right for herself too?:shrug:Well I guess we may see the Emma Roberts character again if Misty can get to her before too much decay sets in.:lol:

[wildheart048]

I know there was no Stevie in this episode, but did anyone think when Sarah Paulson's character came down the stairs it was sort of an ode to the "I can't wait" video? Idk, but it reminded me of that..

[kak125]

i am so torn on who i think the next supreme will be but why couldnt it be Cordelia? it just makes so much sense to me.

[louielouie2000]

i am so torn on who i think the next supreme will be but why couldnt it be Cordelia? it just makes so much sense to me.

Currently Cordelia's powers are very weak... she seems to struggle making mediocre potions, and that's about the extent of her abilities. The Supreme is also supposed to be of perfect health, so Cordelia's inability to bear children may be a discluding factor. Who knows, this could all change, though.

The Supreme is also supposed to be of perfect health, so Cordelia's inability to bear children may be a discluding factor. Who knows, this could all change, though.


yeah i just wonder if fiona will end up chanelling what she has left of her powers to cordelia at some point before she dies in the hopes that at least the supreme will remain in the family. i dont think her infertility would be a discluding factor at all but i guess only time will tell. i am really enjoying this season so far and my only complaint is that the show isnt 2 hours long -ha!

The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has a write-up of next week's episode:

Zoe unleashes a new power to fight off Marie Laveau's army. Please let it be Stevie Nicks. Please let it be Stevie Nicks. Please let it be Stevie Nicks.

Huh? You mean Zoe's new power is Stevie Nicks.

[MikeInNV]

Huh? You mean Zoe's new power is Stevie Nicks.

That's the magazine's quote, not mine. It's just supposed to be funny, playing on how much Stevie has been used this season and how much the EW writer is a fan.

[BlueDenimLamp]

Huh? You mean Zoe's new power is Stevie Nicks.

Yes...Twirl 3 times while saying Stevie Nicks 3 times and you will invoke the power of Stevie Nicks...

[singertobe]

so would that be Rhiannon or Sisters of the Moon, was there another song they did about a witch?

Possibly "Melacine"

[Phoenix]

Yes...Twirl 3 times while saying Stevie Nicks 3 times and you will invoke the power of Stevie Nicks...

AHAHAHA! YES! :) I LOVE IT.

Is Stevie Nicks A Witch? ‘American Horror Story’ Season 3 Ignites Old Rumors, But Are They True?

[skcin]

BTW . They are not going to use songs that the general public does not know. They probably will stick with her popular tunes.So we are do to hear Rhiannon ,Landslide and so on.

Or we might get surprised.

Why not? :shrug: Huge shows do it all the time now - Walking Dead for one. Grey's was famous for doing tunes by up & coming artists who nobody knew of. Plus, it's already been established that Misty is obsessed with Stevie, so they could put newer or lesser-known material in. The producers are wasting a great opportunity.


And Misty is the new supreme, IMO.

Generally, I agree. People aren't watching AHS to hear Stevie Nicks songs that they know and love. The producers should be choosing songs based on content and mood fitting what's happening on screen. However, realistically, it's not the producer's goal to broaden the viewers knowledge of Stevie deep cuts. They're going to go with the songs they know and love, which are almost always going to be the biggies. :shrug:

Was there any Stevie in the latest show.

American Horror Story (FX) 10:00 PM ET

Who is the new, rising supreme? You can add to your theories tonight when, thanks to Marie Laveau‘s undead army someone is going to display new powers. Have we considered that it could be Stevie Nicks only now discovering her power thanks to Misty Day‘s belief in her? Also, someone gets burned at the stake, tho not Fiona (as if it were possible for Jessica Lange‘s character to die before the finale) since we see her lighting the fire in the previews.

[charmedhour26]

Misty Day did make an appearance near the end of this episode after Myrtle Snow was burned at the stake. Clearly upset by what happened, Misty placed her hands on Myrtle's face and resurrected her. No Stevie or FM music played, but Misty was wearing a blue shawl.

Here's a picture of Misty from the episode last night.

[MikeInNV]

Excerpts from Rolling Stone's review of this season of AHS (which they feel is easily the best so far):

Fact: It's not a real coven until Stevie Nicks shows up. So American Horror Story: Coven takes us to a cabin, somewhere deep in the Lousiana swamp, where two witches are cranking some vintage Fleetwood Mac. A gawky teen witch named Zoe is getting her mind blown by her mysterious new friend, Misty, who plays her Rhiannon and explains the genius of Stevie. Zoe gets confused. "That's Stevie Nicks from American Idol?" "The white witch!" Misty raves. "This song was her anthem. Doesn't it just penetrate your soul and tell the truth about everything you ever felt in your whole life?" Zoe smiles. "Yeah, totally." Stand the hell back!

The Stevie-worshipping Misty is a perfect example of how Coven gets the occult details right, which is why her scenes are so scary, funny and moving at the same time. As Misty, Lily Rabe rocks the feathered hair with dark roots, the leather bustier, Eighties raccoon eye makeup--she doesn't look like the actual Stevie so much as the archetypal Stevie fan, which is why she hits home. She moves like a cat in the dark, and then she is the darkness.

All the gold-dust women of Coven are a bloody great time: Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Patti LuPone and more arrivals every week.

Coven understands why we get so scared of witches: because they're cooler than us. Not to mention louder, sexier and Stevie-er.

[Jondalar]

Here's a picture of Misty from the episode last night.

When I watched Coven and saw her at the end, all I could think of was 1982.

[Macfanforever]

Heres an other chance for Stevie to do some acting.She should go on the show.

She was awesome on Up All Night.

Guess who's visiting the Coven? The legendary Stevie Nicks!

-

TVLine has interpreted this and reported this as her actually guesting, not just visiting the set etc.

On Wednesday's (Nov. 13) episode of "American Horror Story: Coven," Misty Day gets upset because someone "breaks Stevie," a.k.a. breaks her radio that she uses to play her Stevie Nicks songs.

But later in the season, she'll get to meet the real thing, so that's probably better.

Creator Ryan Murphy tweets, "Guess who's visiting the Coven? The legendary Stevie Nicks!"

Nicks' music, including "Rhiannon," "Sara" and "Leather and Lace," has been used so far to great effect for everyone's favorite swamp witch Misty, who is obsessed with Stevie -- the "white witch," as she calls her.

There were always rumors surrounding Nicks' real-life interest in witchcraft and mysticism, so her music fits right in on the FX drama. But we wonder just how Nicks herself will fit into the world -- will she appear as herself? Will she be a fictionalized version of her real self, one who maybe has witchy powers? Or will she be an actual character?

If she's a fictional character, Nicks definitely looks enough like Lily Rabe to play Misty's mom. Just sayin'.

We cannot wait to see her. "American Horror Story: Coven" airs Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.

Wow This sounds like me at the old job when the idiot co-workers turn down or shut off my boom box or iPod as Stevie tunes are playing.

Maybe the next couple of night I end up having a flashback dream sequence that Stevie appeared at my old job and slap some co-workers around for screwing around with my boombox and have a couple words with them and walkout.. LOL.

I'm so glad for Stevie is getting TV time.

[MikeInNV]

So now I've seen reports that Leather and Lace and Gypsy have both been used. Those haven't aired yet, right? I think I'm up to date with my viewing.

[SpyNote]

Not unless they're featured in this week's episode. Just "Edge" and "Rhiannon" in Ep 2 and "Sara" in Ep 3.

[charmedhour26]

Leather and Lace played tonight. No Gypsy though, perhaps the next episode?

On a side note, apparently Stevie is supposed to appear in episode 10. Can anyone confirm this?

[Jondalar]

I with they would Nightbird, Trouble in Shangri La or The Wild Heart or You may be the One… Something a little more obscure.

Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You would be perfect for Misty. How about atmospheric song like Outside the Rain, Still of the Night, Sable on Blonde, New Orleans...

[staceface]

Ok supposedly Stevie will be on the show. I saw it on Buzzfeed from an interview with Lily Rabe,does anyone else have any other sources?

last night's episode was number #6.

You might not have seen it but there are two threads about Stevie's AHS involvement in the "Stevie section" :nod:

I originally posted in a thread started by "staceface" in the Rumors" section...
I see the Mods have merged it with this one...

Episode 6 recap, Latin Post by Ian Zeleya:

http://www.latinpost.com/articles/3749/20131114/american-horror-story-coven-episode-6-review-recap-axeman-cometh.htm

Is anyone on this season of "American Horror Story" going to stay dead? Lily Rabe is terrific as Misty, but her always being available to revive every single character who's been killed makes it seem like there are no high stakes for anyone.

If Fiona dies from cancer or Axeman's axe, can't Misty bring her back? The same goes for all of the witches if Hank completes his mission. Don't get me wrong, it's great to have Madison and Myrtle back in our lives, but someone important has to actually stay dead, right? This is a horror show.

A man with an axe


"Coven" has been laying on the New Orleans mythology this season, giving us Marie Laveau and Madame Delphine LaLaurie who are based on real historical figures. Last night's "The Axeman Cometh" added one more in the form of Danny Huston's Axeman of New Orleans. The Axeman was a real serial killer who terrorized the city in 1918-1919 and his identity was never discovered.

This sounds really scary and all but to be honest, Huston's villian is not as scary as Rubber Man or Bloodyface. And of course, a bunch of the 20th century Salem witches went "betrayal of Julius Caesar" on his ass to stop his murderous ways. So of course, he stayed dead until Zoe decided to play with some form of a ouija board to summon spirits and find out what happened to Madison. Via ouija board, Axeman told Zoe to look in the attic, something I guess she couldn't figure out for herself.


In the end, Axeman was released, terrorized Cordelia and then met up with Fiona at a bar to seduce her. Unlike with Hank, Fiona let her guard down and apparently can't smell the bulls--t on him.

"I need a cigarette"

So back to Zoe. After being awesome last week, our newest Supreme (this hasn't been confirmed, but c'mon) was back to her irritating ways, summoning evil spirits and annoying the hell out of Queenie and Nan. After finding a decomposing Madison in Spalding's attic, the trio tortured im with a spatula. Spalding confessed because he's still crazy for Fiona, but Zoe is at least smart enough to know he was lying.


She took Madison and her arm to Misty, who's busy watering Myrtle. I guess reviving someone who was burned to death requires a bit of gardening first? I did love how Myrtle's hand shot up, though.


Kyle also paid Misty's shack a visit, and was reminded of how his mother molested him as Misty gave him a bath. He freaked out and destroyed Misty's Stevie Nicks tape, but was calmed down by Zoe. This was all kind of silly, but hey, Evan Peters' ass.


Misty relunctantly helped Zoe revive Madison in the gross-out scene of the episode, where Madison coughed up blood and a cockroach. Lovely. Conveniently, Madison doesn't remember who killed her, but now that Cordelia has the sight, and saw that Fiona burned Myrtle at the stake, Fiona needs to think of a good story, and fast.


"Bring me their heads!"


Cordelia knows that Hank is a no good, cheating, murdering bastard. She kicked him out and he went straight to Marie. He's been under her employ as a witch hunter to track down and murder any Salem descendants.


The redheaded Kaylee, who he shot a couple episodes back, happened to be a Salem descendant who applied to be a house resident after she accidentally lit her boyfriend on fire. Hank has been listening in on all of Cordelia's interviews, which is how he's been able to root the witches out and kill them.


However, he hasn't been able to kill Cordelia and any of the current residents...because he loves her, apparently. He loves her so much that he chose to have rough sex with Kaylee before killing her. Makes sense. Anyway, Marie has had enough Hank's dilly-dallying and sent him to exterminate the entire house or else she'll go voodoo queen on his ass.


Charms


- The show reminded us that Fiona has cancer, and now she can read minds. Sorry Fiona, but Sookie Stackhouse had this power way before you did.


- LaLaurie was nowhere to be found in this episode and neither was Patti Lupone's crazy Bible mother, who's actually only appeared once. What's her deal? Because something's definitely up.


- Will there be any consequences for Fiona once her murderous ways are uncovered? With the whole "no one has actually died" element this season, I can't see how.


- "I get bad vibes from this house." Misty knows what's up.


- "Why should we do anything to appease this Axeman?" "Because he kills people with an axe."

[Story on Ryan Murphy, excerpt of a joke mentioning Stevie's shawls]

Boston Herald, March 29, 2014 by Allegra Tepper

http://bostonherald.com/entertainment/television/television_news/2014/03/ryan_murphy_lauds_american_horror_story_coven_cast

Murphy explained that cast matriarch Lange was conspicuously missing from the panel because she was on spring break with her grandchildren. In her absence, fellow cast members couldn't help but use Lange for a couple of punchlines. For one, Paulson enjoyed a recurring bit that Lange had stolen all of the set pieces after production wrapped -- and one of guest star Stevie Nicks' shawls.

Denis O'Hare joined in: "She's a total klepto."

[Director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon talks about Stevie. Excerpt from Interview]

Vulture by Rakesh Satyal August 13, 2014

http://www.vulture.com/2014/08/american-horror-story-coven-director-alfonso-gomez-rejon.html

We obviously have to talk about directing Stevie Nicks. I was in New York a few months ago for the annual Night of 1,000 Stevies, and it was particularly amazing this year because you could tell that so many people were paying homage to both her and the series. What was it like to have her involved?

She was already written into the show because Misty Day was obsessed with her. But when I got the news that she was going to be on the show and I was going to be lucky enough to direct her, I just couldn't believe it. The first morning, I went to her trailer to introduce myself, and within a minute, she was singing “Rhiannon” a cappella to me, telling me what key she wanted to do it in. She was so open to the process. I mean, she's been a rock star for a very long time and been performing forever, but she hadn't really acted before. Because the filmmaking process was so new to her, she was enjoying every minute of it. Being able to be with her while she was talking through her ideas of how she could change a song this way or that way to hit a certain beat or extend it so she could get another piece of dialogue in there was amazing. We had a lot of fun doing the “Seven Wonders” video. It was surreal. We just owned the '80s of it and embraced the billowing curtains and the smoke and the cats and just went with it. Any time that we finished a take, she would just tell stories about each song — when she wrote it and how she wrote it and what inspired her to do it — and you'd just be quiet and take it all in because you knew that this moment would never be repeated again.

Then she invited me to the Vegas Fleetwood Mac concert, and she dedicated “Landslide” to me. Let's just say there's nothing quite like that. Then, when I saw her backstage, all she wanted to do was pitch me song ideas for the finale because she was obsessed with the show. “Well, why don't you use this song for the finale? Well, try this one at the end when she's become the Supreme.” She's such a fan of the show, and to see her enthusiasm for the show that she was in — we were all thrilled to see her and couldn't believe that she was there. So, there was just a lot of love in the room.
