This landed in my inbox this morning.
A compilation of music stories in the New Yorker that
includes a great one on Stevie Nicks - came out last year when the
Bella Donna and Wild Heart reissues came out.

Written by Amanda Petrusich, who also just wrote
a tribute to Tom Petty.

It feels like a good time to remember the Jimmy Iovine rock era -
launching Stevie’s solo run and bringing TP into the mainstream.

Tom Petty - we salute you. He’s our American Beatle.

"It’s as if, by the time Nicks got around to singing about something, she already knew that she would survive it."

The aforementioned sentence is where, imo, Amanda Petrusich hits the nail on the head.
