( wanted to ask, is her fav # really 3, or was that a result of BD hitting the 3 million mark in sales? That's why I always thought she favored the #, and had the necklace made. Didn't think from the get-go of life it was a fav. # ????)

Oh yea, and can't program her VCR for the love of all that is Holy.

Oh...the doctor looked up her nose during RAL, said "you could have a brain hemorrhage, and it could be the very next time you do coke, and it won't be pretty, and it won't be nice, and it will be painful."

:lol:

Silly - her feet smell like the wind and the rain and the ocean and the river. And the candle that burns...

ooh, really? never knew that. does anyone have a quote?


learn something new everyday!

The Joni Mitchell reference is from the oft-coveted book "Everything You Want To Know About Stevie Nicks".

say whaaa? :confused:

Say whaaa I said. :rolleyes: :lol: She was wearing "other than red" underpants.

NO way - she's an enchantress! :lol:

From BAM Magazine, September 1981:

"BAM: I can't spot many specific influences in your songwriting. Who were you listening to when you started writing a lot?

Stevie Nicks: Well, I've written for years and been influenced by lots of people, but I guess the stuff that really go me was Joni Mitchell's early songs. I learned so much from listening to her. In fact, I probably wouldn't be doing this if it hadn't been for her. It was her music that showed me I could say everything I wanted to and push it into one sentence and sing it well. Ladies of the Canyon taught me a lot. I remember lying on the floor, listening to Joni's records, studying every single word. When she came out with a new album I'd go crazy--"Don't bother me this week. I'm listening to Joni Mitchell."

BAM: The inspiration was more attitudinal than actual?

Stevie Nicks: Right. I didn't want to play music like her. I couldn't if I'd wanted to--I can't play the guitar worth ****, and Joni's a great player.'

:shocked:

I didn't even know she KNEW that word!!! :laugh:

a swimsuit, no matter who it is.

She has or has had some kind of cool typewriter that types all in

italics.

She can bake a mean pumpkin pie, tune a piano, slap a guy across the

face, heal a wound, burn "Soundstage" onto a DVD, and program an

I-Pod, all on the same day. :shocked: :laugh:

"She can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hangin out on the line.

She can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9.

She can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippins can,

throw it in the skillet, go out & do her shopping, and be back before it

melts in the pan.

She can stretch a greenback dollar bill from here to kindom come!

She can play the numbers, pay the bills and still end up with some!"


BUT, she won't . . . . :shrug: :laugh: :shrug:
