If you could talk with Stevie...
 

This could be a controversial topic. If you could meet Stevie Nicks, one on one, and ask her anything, and if she would truthfully answer with no BS...what would you ask her. Here is what I would ask:

1) Stevie, why did you do cocaine for 10 years? I don't blame you for using it, it was part of the rock culture at the time, even outside of rock...but every day for 10 years! You had to know it was bad for you, at least in the quantities you consumed. By your own admission, you tooted up the first thing in the morning and continued on that stuff the rest of the day. Why couldn't you quit? Did you even want to quit? Do you miss it now?

2) Stevie, why didn't you ever marry? No man was ever good enough for you? Or, no man wanted you?

3) Edit: a third question. Stevie, you'll soon be 58. How does a 70's hippy chick rock star cope with old age...not physically, but mentally? What are your words of advice to us?

I'm sorry if anyone finds this thread out of line or is upset with it. If you are, my apologies. But, those are my burning Stevie questions.

What would you ask Stevie?

1 - what the hell are you saying during the musical interludes of Seven Wonders?

2 - what exactly is your driving force in life?

3 - what's Lindsey like in bed?

4 - can you rock out Rhiannon and just choose not to?

5 - why do you think the Frankenboks are appropriate stage attire?

6 - what do you really think of your fans; especially the gay element?

7 - what is your skincare routine?

8 - are you ever really gonna produce an autobiography?

9 - can I be your first male backup singer?

10 - what's your favorite picture of yourself and why?

1.) Can I please have backstage passes to ALL the rest of your shows, from now on, for free? And free limo service to and from?

2.) Paper or Plastic??? ( :lol: )

3.) Letterman or Leno?

4.) Is it true that you never learned to write sheet music? If that's so, then how do you possibly do what you do?

5.) Are there ever moments when you completely forget you're a "big rock star?" Like when you're reading, or watching tv, or just looking out the window at the scenery?

6.) What do you dream about when you sleep?

7.) Do you ever listen to the old Fleetwood Mac stuff? Do you ever listen to Rumours and wonder, "How the f. did we DO that!???"

8.) How would you feel if you came home and found Jessie smoking pot?
What would you say?

9.) Do you ever listen to music other than pop? Like classical? Jazz?

10.) Would you like cream and sugar with that???

and, of course, the IMPORTANT one - - -

14. What runs through your head when your fans are pushing and scratching trying to get up to the stage during "Edge of 17"??

***I loved this question!! good job guys!! good answers Jason and everyone else ;) I could go on with my questions for hours!!!!! ;)

I asked this question years ago on "Ask Stevie" on the Nicks Fix. It never made it through, though. :shrug:

1. What are your secret wishes?
2. What are your secret hopes?
3. What are your dreams?
4. Did you ever have flying dreams?
5. Do you dream of the innocence?

I would just tell her to never quit making music.


That's all.

- what's the real reason why you didn't want to marry Lindsey?
- Could we do lunch :nod:
- drink of choice....and will you do shots with us :lol:

Would you like to come shopping with me? And maybe go for coffee?

Then ask her all the other questions when she's distracted in the chiffon aisle.

1. What is your favorite color (other than black) :laugh:

2. When is the Rhiannon Movie Project going to get finally completed and released or is the project just dead and not going anywhere?

3. When are you going to release your coffee table book of your drawings?

4. Why do you choose not to perform Sisters of the Moon in concert anymore?

6. Who was your favorite artist to duet with and who would you want to duet with now?

7. Will you ever write childrens books?

8. There are fans I am sure that would love to see you run for office like President someday... do you have plans in the future for any political aspirations to kick the world in the butt and back in line?

9. What if any Charity or Foundation would you set up for the wounded soldiers? Would you consider doing TV or radio PSA's to raise awareness of your charity or foundation?

10. What the hell are you muttering during the Mirage taping of Sisters of the Moon when you go all out in "speaking in tongues" Do you even know?;)

11. Do you forsee Jessie becoming a major rock star ?

12. Have you ever been freaked out from an obsessed fan during your Edge walk?

13. And of course as stated earlier, "Who's the Guy"?

Oh, I could really go on and on with this. I really like the question earlier about why Rhiannon does not rock out like in the past and what she would do if she caught Jessie with drugs. And yes, I would really love to know her skin care routine is.

Addiction :shrug: Just a guess :rolleyes:

Dead. Long dead.
Never.
She answered this already on the radio (either with Jim Ladd or with Mark & Brian).
Yes. Just won't publish them.
No desire to run for office.
It's called "rocking out." Nothing specific was said.
She discusses her skin care routine in a 1994 issue of a fashion magazine (Elle or Details or something).

1.) Did you tell FM that you were making belladonna? if so, did you tell them all together at a band meeting or individially? If not, how do you think they heard about it?

2.) Did you ever fire someone, or have someone fired, on your personal payroll for being brutally honest with you regarding your mental/physical health with regards to its impact on the quality of your work/performance?

3.) What kind of business offers have you declined (eg. movies, television, broadway)? Were any of them tempting?

1. Why don't you go crazy during "GDW" (like in The Dance) among other songs? You know how much we fans LOVE IT!!! :nod:

2. Does "TISL" have anything to do with the Shangri-La hotel, here in l.a.? (santa monica) THere was a rumor about that for a while ;)

3. What were you thinking the night you took the stage for "The Dance"?

4. What were you thinking when you lay down for the cover of "Say You
Will"?

5. What are your favorite stores to shop at? (local or not)

6. WE ADORE YOU!!! ;) No Questions Asked!!! (no pun intendd there LOL)

I'm not that curious about Stevie anymore. And she probably wouldn't like some of the questions. But I'd want to know:

1. Are you saying all the same-same, same game, same name, or saa--aame?

2. What were you feeling and what was going through your head the first time you played "Silver Springs" after so many years?

3. Why aren't you more adventurous with your setlist?

and the totally none of my business but really what I'm most curious about Stevie:

4. Have you been in a relationship with a woman?

Stevie said in an interview (Australia magazine I think) that she has dated a waiter. Probably an aspiring LA actor.

I've read it's not that addictive...maybe for some people it is.

She said in an interview once that during "the Klonipin era," she fired lots of people kinda randomly for very little or no reason, and feels badly about it now, and that it was mostly a result of the drug and how she was feeling at the time. So - I think maybe the answer would be, "yeah!"

My guess is Stevie is a difficult person to work for as part of the personal staff. She probably pays the staff more than they're worth...so has bought this loyalty. Just my opinion.

COULD be wrong, of course, but I have the impression that if that was ever true, it no longer is . . . . I think she probably only keeps people around her that she likes very much and respects (for example, Karen) and just kinda lets people "do their thing." I really do have the impression that she's gotten to the point where her attitude is, "Life's too short to have a temper tantrum over green jellybeans not being removed from the bowl in my 5 star luxury hotel by the time I got in to town." I suppose it's not a laugh a minute, but I really strongly suspect that she has things down to "smooth sailing" at this point. It's just not worth the energy.

Qs for S
 

1. What has been the happiest moment of your life thus far?

2. Is there anyone you are jealous/envious of? If so, who and why?

3. What do you think of fans who dress like you all the time or are obsessed with you in some way (not talking about stalkers, just very ardent fans)?

4. Would you like to live forever?

5. Do you REALLY believe in angels?

6. Do you believe there are aliens out there somewhere?

7. What scares you or gives you nightmares?

8. For what cause, if any, would you die?

9. What or who makes you laugh?

10. Money, beauty, or brains (for herself, not in another person)?

Most of these are a little dark... but I'd like to hear her answers.

1 If you could go back in time...is there anyone thing you would change?
2.Any Regrets?
3.Have you found your happiness?
4.any unfulfilled dreams yet to fill?

No one asked the most important question:

Stevie, are you really a witch? :lol:

The waiter guy, if its the same one, is 20 years younger than her:p !

I remember this being asked by a caller on Rockline sometime in the early 80's. The caller basically said "there are rumors that you're a witch and I'm wondering if it's true."

Stevie responded by first saying that people should not believe rumors and that anytime we want to know the truth we should just ask her. I believe, but not positive, that she said specifically that we should call her. I remember thinking well, give me your number then.

Then she said she was sad about these rumors and that no, she's not a witch.

I'd love to get a transcript of that.

After twenty some years of being asked this nonsense, Stevie finally exploded at someone and uttered this now classic line..."I'm not a witch....get a life" :D This was way before the "get a life" phrase became overused. Who knows...maybe Stevie invented that phrase.

Well, I'm not surprised at that. I would guess most of her current "lovers" are 20 years younger than her. Sadly, IMO, they are just after money or connections.

Anybody ever see the 1950's movie "Sunset Boulevard" with Gloria Swanson, about the aging film star...that's almost where Stevie Nicks is at today. (Hey, I still like her music)

:laugh: :eek: :laugh: :eek: :laugh:

Maybe that's where she came ALL THE WAY there just to watch HIM walk out the room :D

"I am ready for my solo, Mr. Buckingham..." :D :wavey:

(Let's see who gets that obscure reference....:p)

"Ready for my close up Mr. Demille ":thumbsup:
Anyway: in no particular order,
1. Why was there never an afair between you and the one and only
John McVie!?
2. What exacally does the moon necklace mean to you?
3. Will you ever put "City of Hope" on an album or officialy release it?
4. How many top hats do you have and do you have a favorite? (yes, I wanna know)
5. Do you watch Charmed and would you gest star as musical guest?
6. What inspired your drawing called "fire bird"? (from the street angel tour book)
7. Will you sing Wild heart for me right now even if its just for a few seconds?

how do you know that there WASN'T :eek:



:lol:

HMM..

#1. Who was the love of your life?
#2 Will you ever sing Storms live in concert?
#3 Did you and Lindsey ever try to reconcile at any point?
#4 If you could go back in time..what would you change?
#5 How have you dealt with the change of your voice through the years?
#6 Who is the song I Miss You about?

Good question. :nod:

So where _is_ Emmeline?

Unless I missed it no one asked:

Stevie, where did you get the big ring you were flashing at the Melbourne races? And, why were you flashing it?

And this question:

Stevie do you ever drive a car?

(I read somewhere her drivers license expired and she never bothered to renew it because the DMV takes lousy photos! I can attest to that!)

I have one more question, but don't want to start a thread so I'll stick it here. Of course its none of our business, but there is no harm in speculating. Ever wonder how much money Stevie earns in a year? I mean net profit after paying all the help, agents, publicity people, secretaries, clothing design, etc.....

I know it varies depending on whether she is touring or is releasing a new record. From what I can figure out she has three sources of income (I'm not counting investments, if any). Royalties from old FM records, royalties from her solo records, and touring. (I'm not going to count bat mitzvas, that was an aberration.) The records are not selling huge numbers anymore, and I don't yhink there is much profit in touring, it's done more to promote a new CD.

I could be way off base, but I figure she averages $1 million or less before taxes. A big number for sure, but not by Hollywood standards where movie stars pull in $10 million per film and some pro athletes make $20 million per year.

Anybody have ideas on this?

Obscure! Is that really obscure?!

It's right up there with "Play it again, Sam" as one of the most famous movie misquotes.

There's tons of profit in touring, especially at the prices Stevie charges (and especially when she just shacks up in Vegas for a couple weeks and doesn't have to pay anyone to fly her and her band around, or disassemble and reassemble her set every night).

Most artists make nearly all of their money from touring; it's the albums which don't bring in that much profit. Stevie's Gold Dust tour isn't promoting any CD release. And the Say You Will tour wasn't done in promotion of the new album. On the contrary, the album was released in part as an excuse for the band to tour.

As far as royalties, you're forgetting, she gets paid not only when people buy the albums, but also when her songs are played on the radio. And that's not only performing royalties, but also songwriting and publishing royalties. Songs like "Dreams," "Gypsy" and "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" are still pretty prominent radio staples in certain formats (and she'll also pull in some royalties if anybody actually bothers to play Ms. Lohan's cover of "Edge of Seventeen"), so I imagine she doesn't do too poorly for herself in that area either.

Now, now...let's don't discriminate! Or GIRL...(Hey, there are a lot of bisexuals these days...you never know! Joe Walsh and Mick Fleetwood would be the last men I'd expect her with...ya know!

My Stevie queries - Just gimme 5:

1.) How has your Dad's health problems and subsequent death affected you (your mortality and such)?*Weird question I know, but I lost my sister when she was 18 months old and I was only 8 ...made me a different person! I know she started doing charities because of it. So it is valid...

2.) We know your not a witch (just from reading your lovely lyrics about angels and such...anyone can decipher that much), but are you a Christian?
*Again, I'm a LIBERAL Christian...yeah, left-winger here! I've been asking this question for a decade of all my music contacts in the biz about her. They've asked tour management and label reps, who've concluded that she is indeed. I personally think the same, especially with her lyrics and charitable works. Just IMHO.

3.) Did you indeed receive cocaine "up" an alternative mucous membrane region besides the muscous membranes in your nose?
*Touchy subject...I know! The BIGGEST rumour from the Rumours era was an alternative way in which to get high when you are at risk of a brain hemorrhage...and "I Need to Know"! Pardon the pun...

4.) Plastic surgery...Yay or Nay?
*I'd sign a contract to get this answer...although I think the answer is Nay!

5.) Why aren't you fond of wearing pants?
*She was cute in the "Bootylicious" video (I have it if you want it!) with them on...even with a Frankenboc variation!
