STEVIE NICKS AND PARIS JACKSON IN CONVERSATION FOR CR13
THE YOUNG ACTRESS-MODEL-MUSICIAN TALKS TO HER ALL-TIME IDOL

The thought of speaking to her forever-idol Stevie Nicks makes Paris Jackson extremely nervous. So nervous, in fact, that she almost can’t muster the courage to do it. For so long has the 20-year-old actress-model-musician admired the iconic Gold Dust woman that she is petrified of saying the wrong thing, of talking too much or too little. But Nicks puts Jackson at ease with the first syllable of her velvet voice, and the two speak about the perils of social media, the power of folk, and the necessity of finding one's place in the music.

Stevie Nicks: Tell me who you are and what you love.

Paris Jackson: I’m very open about myself and my personality on my social media. I don’t post a lot pictures of myself, but I post a lot of pictures of the things that I love. There are a couple pictures of you on there, actually.

SN: I’m going to tell you this because it will make you laugh: I don’t have a computer, I just have a flip phone in case of a fire.

PJ: Good!

SN: I’m like your sweet old grandmother who lives down the street. I’m not on Facebook. I mean there is a Facebook [account set up], but I have absolutely nothing to do with it. I have never even been on your social media.

PJ: Honestly, the less I use my social media, the happier I am, and I’ve been using it less and less, but when I do use it I make sure to keep it very real and honest and true to myself.

SN: Right, and that’s good.

PJ: People can be really cruel online. People can be really ****ed up so I try to—

SN: It’s out of my realm of understanding. And if you’ve paid attention to my life, you know that I really believe in the art of mystery. I believe that being mysterious is really great.

PJ: You’re kind of the queen of that.

SN: It’s always been my way, since I joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975. I really didn’t want people to know that much about me, except the crazy things building up to joining Fleetwood Mac that I was willing to share, but as far as my life or my boyfriends or my love affairs or my friends or any of that, I preferred to be the...forbidden queen. We all built a persona, and that was mine, and I have pretty much followed it to now. It’s still the way I run my life. Except on the flipside, I am really willing to say, well, I was a waitress, I was a cleaning lady, I supported Lindsey [Buckingham] completely. I was the sole provider for almost five years for us before we joined Fleetwood Mac, when we had no money and absolutely nothing, except our four-track Ampex that his grandmother left us money for. But I’m probably the queen of selfies because I started with Polaroids in, oh God, probably 1978. I would take my Polaroid camera on the road and set up full-on sets by myself while everyone went to bed at the hotel, and I would take these Polaroids, which I dug out for my last record, 24 Karat Gold, and used a lot of the ones that I thought would never be used. But people go, “God, you’ve been taking selfies way before us,” and I was.

PJ: It was way before they had a name for it.

SN: I have an iPhone but it [doesn’t have service]. I just use it as a camera and I have my little digital camera, but none of that will ever take the place of the Polaroid.

PJ: Yeah.

SN: By the way, your pictures in the magazine are stunning.

PJ: Really? You think so?

SN: I don’t think so, I know so.

PJ: Aw! That makes me so happy. I was so excited when they showed me the reference photos and they were all pictures of you. I’ve looked up to you for a very, very long time, so when they said they were going to do my hair like yours, and that I was going to wear similar clothes to yours, I was just so excited.

SN: Well they look fantastic. For me, there is nothing more fun than a photo session. We used to do photo sessions and it would go on for like three days and we’d have the best time. Go to Western Costume, rent a ton of costumes, and go for three solid days. So when I look at your photo session, I’m thinking, Wow, I hope she had as much fun doing this as I used to.

PJ: I had a blast, I had such a good time.

SN: What are you doing right now?

PJ: Right now I am working on a film about the rock and roll scene on the Sunset Strip. It takes place in 1996.

SN: There was a lot going on in L.A. in 1996.

PJ: Apart from work and the modeling, I am in a band now and we are working on our record. We thought we had enough material for an EP or an LP, but it turns out we have enough material for an album, so I think we are going to get that done by fall.

SN: What kind of music?

PJ: Probably like indie folk, a little bit of Skynyrd rock, and then we might do a cover of one of your songs, if that’s cool?

SN: Oh, you have to. I think that everybody starts out with folk music. Lindsey and I certainly did. Then you evolve out of folk and into wherever it takes you. When you listen to Bob Dylan and listen to his words and amazing lyrics and his stories like “Tangled Up in Blue,” which after listening to it 5,000 times over the last 40 years, I realized that it’s actually about a murder. I finally figured that out and thought, Wow, all of the times I listened to this song, I didn’t get that. So, folk music is really where the storytelling starts, because nobody is worried about having a big band. All you have to do is play simple guitar or have someone else play simple guitar for you. That’s all you need to get into folk music. And folk really helps you decide if you want to be more of a performance-singer or a full-on songwriter-singer—which way you want to go. It did that for Lindsey and me. We slowly worked out of that and into more of the duo we became and the duo to the band and then we were a duo within a band and then by the time we moved to Los Angeles joining Fleetwood Mac, we became an instant trio. But our initial thing really came from folk music.

PJ: I really love it. Music makes me so happy. It’s always been an outlet to express myself and get out all the things I need to get out. And then I met this guy named Gabriel, who is now my boyfriend. But before he became my boyfriend, we had this crazy connection. I’ve never made music with another person the way I’ve made it with him, I’ve never been able to sing the way I do with him, and he feels the same way. Our creations just flow and they’re so organic. It doesn’t feel like it’s human. It feels so beyond the English language to describe. I’ve never given myself the space to make music but when I met Gabriel I didn’t really have a choice. I had to face the fact that I was born to be a musician and music is the only thing that makes me feel the way that it does. When we are creating, I’ll set my phone and we will just start recording and before I know it we’ve got 30 to 45 minutes of constant music on there in one take and we are creating and free-styling and then we will go back and listen to it again and pick and choose what can be a song. It’s only been two or three months since we started creating and we have more than enough material for two albums. It’s crazy.

SN: That’s how it happens, honey. It’s a magical thing that just comes and hits you. I don’t think that you choose it, I think it chooses you.

SN: When you meet somebody who you are really in tune with, that gives you a lot of strength to do what you want to do, because sometimes it’s scary to be an artist on your own. I never wanted to be an artist by myself, I wanted to be in a band in which I was protected.

PJ: Same here.

SN: Until I had been in Fleetwood Mac for five years, and had been singing with Lindsey for five years before that, it never occurred to me to be a solo artist. I just wrote so many songs. So, in 1981, when I decided to make a solo album, I told Fleetwood Mac straight out, “Listen, I’m not trying to break up this band, all I want to do is have a place to put these 40 songs I’ve written since 1975.” I felt stupid writing the next song because, why bother? They were a lot nicer about it than I thought they would be. They said, “Well then go make a solo record,” and I did, but I never wanted that as my full-on thing. I appreciated the fact that being in a band took the pressure off. People coming to you, asking, “What do you want to do? Where do you want to go? Do you want to do a tour? Do you want to do magazine interviews? How do you want the stage to look?” And you’re thinking, Well, can’t you ask the rest of the band that? Except when you’re solo, it’s just you. But you’ve found somebody to share this with you, which makes it all the more fun.

PJ: Yes, all the more special.

SN: And also so much easier because it’s not all on your shoulders.

PJ: I’m excited about it. I just got a text from him now. It’s funny that we were talking about him.

SN: Well, this will be a great adventure for you. You can do your music and you can model. The world is in the palms of your little hands. You can be everything or you canbe exactly who you want to be. I look back over my life and I think, Wow what an adventure this has been. About 15 years ago, I decided in my own heart that I’m not going to be looking for a relationship, because I’m better off letting my music be my muse and being free enough to follow it where I want to follow it whenever I want to follow it. I was like 55 when I made this decision; I decided I didn’t want to be tied down. I wanted to be totally free. That’s the turnaround from the first 40 years of my life in music to now, wanting to be free and to be able to experience anything I want to without having to explain it to somebody else who’s asking, “When are you coming home?” Well, I don’t know, maybe six months? You don’t have anyone to get mad at you. If Mr. Right comes walking out of the brick wall then great, if it doesn’t happen I’m okay with that.
PJ: I agree. I’m just so excited to be talking to you.

SN: Well, I’m glad. When I write my songs, I hope that they reach out and touch people because that’s the only reason I write them. My songs always start as poetry. So, when I have a poem that I’ve written and I love, the idea is I can go to the piano and play. That’s my favorite kind of evening, in a really beautiful studio or a beautiful home with candles and a grand piano and recording equipment. That’s my idea of a perfect night, and it’s always just as good as it was 40 years ago. That’s the one thing that never changes—the excitement of what you do creatively never changes.

PJ: Thank you for that.

I hate it when Stevie says she supported Lindsey financially 100% during their early years. She forgets Lindsey had a guitar and that is what landed them a record deal and also eventually landed them in Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey's guitar playing earned them money and eventually millions of dollars. I get it. She was a supportive girlfriend cleaning and being a waitress when Lindsey was home practicing guitar and making music.

I also thought it was rather rude (but indicative of our times) that Paris was checking her text messages while getting the chance to sit with one of her "idols" . You can't leave your phone off for half an hour or so?

And then she sort of blows off talking anymore by saying she's promised her friend to go see his show and how excited she is to give him his gift, but she's gotta go now and get her hair/makeup done. No class, no grace, no manners. EVERYONE is all about themselves. As disgusted as I am with Stevie, you gotta admit she's earned her place as a star over decades.. Paris is only famous because she's the child of someone famous. Actress/model/musician? Really? Has she earned those titles? Or is she just dabbling and taking credit for them. And then she acts like she's too busy to spend more time talking. Please.

There's a whole obsession with the children of famous people and letting them jump to the front of the queue with no credentials whatsoever. President's kids getting hosting gigs on major national tv shows, they're all models now suddenly-- headlining major designer shows without ever working their way up. Even if your mother is Cindy Crawford or Christie Brinkley, they earned their spots, not you. :eek:

I thought she was horribly rude to Stevie. And Stevie is on the top of my poop list right now.

She also forgets that he was working for no pay arranging her songs.

He also worked gigs for money-- for one he went on the road playing bass for the Everly Brothers (while she sat in Colorado and wrote Landslide)

Yeah, she needs to stop talking about how she loves writing and making music. Ironic that she said she only went out to do solo work because she had so many songs sitting unused and wanted to get them out. She apparently doesn't want her songs getting out nowadays-- coz she claims she won't make money off them. Is that why she writes then?

She wanted to be in a band and "protected" . She didn't like people coming to her and asking her to focus and pay attention and make decisions about the stage, or the equipment or whatever. "Can't you ask someone else in the band?" Diva much? LINDSEY made an awful lot of those decisions and she let him do that while she got to goof off taking pics of herself all night, staring at her own face in the mirror and on film. And then she has the nerve to bitch. :eek:

To be fair, that was the whole reason they had her interviewed by a celebrity. If the article was supposed to have been 100% about Paris they would have done it with a journalist. The magazine got exactly what they wanted: a twofer article with stories and details from both.

I don't understand the disconnect in Stevie's brain... How can she acknowledge the shared history of BN and the importance of their partnership here, after she's completely disregarded that shared history and taken action to destroy that partnership?

Has she somehow split the young Lindsey in her stories from the flesh-and-blood Lindsey that she kicked in the face? Is she in denial about what she's done to him? Maybe she hopes that we'll all forget what she did if she pretends nothing has changed.

Bizarre.

Bizarre it is.

My bet is, she is so out of touch with normal day to day life in general, that she doesn't even realize how screwed up she acts and comes across as.

And if she did have an epiphany, I don't think she'd ever ever ever admit it.

I'm not sure if her behavior is denial, or complete ignorance.:shrug:

But isn't her continued acknowledgement of him better than if she was trying to erase him out of her history? They apparently have irreconcilable differences now, but no one (including Stevie) should take that to mean some great things didn't happen along the way. In that way it's not so different from any break-up of a long-term partnership, and it might not seem like such a huge disconnect to everyone.

I see what you're saying about it being better than erasing him. However, it still seems strange to me, because it would be like telling someone "That marriage was so magical" right after you'd put your ex through the wringer in a messy divorce. The words ring hollow.

Ah, don’t you see??! She’s wrong either way. I believe the expression is “haters gonna hate.”

It is true that at this point, it is extremely difficult for Stevie to navigate the landmine that is talking about Lindsey in a way that's not going to set off some people - and not just "haters" who are predisposed to be hypercritical. Still, she put herself into that no-win situation when she had Lindsey fired, so she has no one but herself to blame for it.

God...it is sickening how this situation with loser Lindsey has taken over your every thought on this board. You have absolutely no clue about anything she does in her daily life and neither do I.

He is gone...he is never coming back. He is no longer part of Fleetwood Mac. Too bad so sad...go cry in the corner and leave the rest of us with some kind of positive place to come to discuss them. I have never seen anything so...oh lets us your word...IGNORANT!

JohnL, I think there's a very real chance Lindsey will reunite with FM somewhere down the line, even if it's just for one last farewell tour (or two). No one EVER expected the Rumours era band to make a comeback in 1996, and they returned in a colossal way. But in the meantime, I'm going to bask in the anticipation of seeing both FM and LB live this year!

I agree with this, bwboy. Because the parting was so nasty and dramatic, the story needs a happy ending. And because they have such a long history, I believe it will happen if everyone is alive.

loser lindsey lol :rolleyes: your goddess is a shill who openly admits to not making new music because it won't make her any money, and is a single, bitter old narcissist. Meanwhile, Lindsey has been in one of the most prolific phases of his solo career with much critical acclaim, happily married with a family, and continues to show a growth and maturity as a human being & artist that most would agree continues to elude Ms. Nicks. Loser indeed:laugh:

Meanwhile, Lindsey has been in one of the most prolific phases of his solo career with much critical acclaim, happily married with a family, and continues to show a growth and maturity as a human being & artist that most would agree continues to elude Ms. Nicks. Loser indeed:laugh:

That term was said mostly for effect because I am tired of the ongoing Stevie bashing. How does it feel? Also it is obvious that he did something to be kicked out of this band. But that is totally ignored on this board. It’s all Stevie and Mick’s fault...which is total BS. I think we will get an album or at least 4 or 5 songs out of this version of the band. Let’s see what you say after that.

Hmm, how does it feel? Kinda silly, considering Lindsey hasn't really given us any reason to call him a loser, vs Stevie putting her foot in her mouth constantly, giving cringe-worthy statement after statement, self-absorbed interview after interview, showing her complete lack of respect/interest in working with Lindsey in all her recent actions, after his seemingly genuine attempts to please her, make for comfortable collaboration since, I don't know, 2009, when he even went so far as to specifically write songs in her key. Her complete indifference, refusal certainly doesn't hurt the assumption that she had the biggest hand in this.. I could go on, but you'll prob never take your blinders off, so whats the point? What will I say if they put out an EP or album with this farce of a lineup? Well I'd probably say Stevie Nicks is a huge liar/hypocrite, given all of her excuses, dodging recording with Lindsey (Before the hard no, it was "If Chris comes back!!" :rolleyes:) . And just guessing as to the quality of the songs/arrangements/production, its very possible I'll also say its embarrassing adult contemporary garbage :wavey:

The truth is we have no idea what she is working on writing wise. It’s laughable to claim she is outright NOT writing. Since the 1990s her output has slowed. However, not being prolific does not equal not working.

I suspect she is at least writing in her journals and doing her stream of consciousness poetry. I think she has slowed down since her mother’s death.

I work with book writers and different writers and artists have different timetables. Four mystery writers come to my mind as examples. You have the Agatha Christies and Ruth Rendells who wrote multiple books a year.

Then you have the Dorothy Sayers and P.D. James who took YEARS in between books. Look at Stevie’s pattern and this is not surprising, no matter what the reason is:

Street Angel: 1994
Trouble in Shangri-La: 2001
In Your Dreams: 2011
24 KG: 2014

If you don’t want to count 24 KG as her writing was mainly slight edits of demos, then we are close to the Trouble in Shangri-La gap.

Yeah ..what she mentioned was that she cannot write the way she used to because she is no longer having tumultuous romances and partying like a rock star.The last album of mostly new material that she released was largely a co-write with Dave Stewart and for the Fleetwood Mac EP all she could kick in was an unlistenable update of a Buckingham/Nicks outtake. I'm afraid the well has pretty much run dry.

Stevie may well be writing vast volumes of songs all the time. The only evidence of that would be IF SHE RECORED AND RELEASED THEM. She does not do that. So therefore I am sceptical about the talk about writing and wanting songs to touch people.

I just love how everyone seems to know exactly what Stevie has been doing for the last few years, how she lives in a bubble, and how she just doesnt have any kind of intelligence or common sense. God...it is sickening how this situation with loser Lindsey has taken over your every thought on this board. You have absolutely no clue about anything she does in her daily life and neither do I.

He is gone...he is never coming back. He is no longer part of Fleetwood Mac. Too bad so sad...go cry in the corner and leave the rest of us with some kind of positive place to come to discuss them. I have never seen anything so...oh lets us your word...IGNORANT!

“I don’t write as many songs anymore because with the internet, the way that kids listen to music, all the streaming, and the fact that if they’re very savvy, if they want to get it and not pay for it, they can,” Nicks said. “We don’t have the impetus to write 20 songs because we know that unless you’re under 20 you’re not going to sell many records.”

Lol ikr. Probably the most dramatic thing that's gone on in her life in decades. But she's also old. In general I wouldn't fault someone in their 60s and 70s for not having the same creative streak as someone in their 20s and 30s. But the thing with Stevie is that she seems to talk about all the writing she does all the time and yet where is it? The last album she released was 4 years ago and it was a bunch of decades old demos rerecorded. If she has new material why does she seem to be afraid of actually releasing it.

I think she really invested her hopes and dreams into that album and probably thought it would go platinum or something like that and then when it didn't it left a bad taste in her mouth about releasing new albums in this day and age.

Then she should drop the pretense that she is still a 'prolific writer. A real artist would simply keep creating despite low sales. To her fans, the only evidence we have of her creativity is what she releases for consumption. It is worse to NOT release new music, because you lose your core fans sooner or later as they get nothing to chew on. I can overlook her egotism and other annoyances but as a fan I struggle to maintain interest without new music on a regular basis.

You are so spot on. Of course!! A prolific artist would have written songs for the new Mac Album. (BuckVie) in this case. Said, "Hey, I still want to tour my new material, so can't tour until later because I have a new solo album and I want to tour this new album I have. Period.

Oh no I know I agree with you on that. Stevie just sounds so tone deaf a lot of the time and I think part of it is that she says certain things because she's just used to saying them. She tends to tell the same stories over and over and so she probably is just used to talking about herself as this mad writer whose pen never stops flowing.

If you go back into the history of this site, you will see who instigated most of this. I am not going to argue with you but this used to be a great site to visit for news and info on FM. That is until the latest news on the FM breakup happened. Ever since then a certain faction of this board continually attacks Stevie as being the reason behind the break up with no real evidence. There is constant name calling and it is just downright sad. I DID NOT INITIATE any of this. I stand up for just trying to go back to talking about news and info on the band...instead of bringing in your own biased opinions. Ever since the first time I did that I was attacked on many levels and I defend myself and do not take this crap. If that makes me a complainer in your mind, so be it.
