Stevie's first musical crush
 

July 15, 2009
Crosby, Stills and Nash

Not only did Fleetwood Mac frontwoman Stevie Nicks dish to me in our July issue about the record that changed her life, Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark, in the interview she also revealed her first music crush: Crosby, Stills and Nash. “If you can’t fall in love with those three guys, you can’t fall in love,” she said. Since then, I’ve been obsessed with CSN’s 1969 self-titled debut—not only because their folky tunes make me want to revisit denim-on-denim (see Graham Nash on the album cover, far left), but their groovy harmonies (download “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”) eerily remind me of Fleet Foxes, one of my favorite modern-day bands. For CSN newbies like me, Crosby, Stills and Nash will be available in vinyl from Rhino this fall. Something tells me Stevie’s still got her original copy.

Aw, I wonder who her favourite is. I'm quite fond of Graham. :woohoo:

Well I'd find it hard to believe that anyone would have a crush on David Crosby...

but then again, melissa etheridge used him to make her baby's~ i have to shyly admit i have always loved his huge cheesy stache:eek:~

i wonder who her crush is too, i remember seeing them play on the woodstock dvd & stills was missing a front tooth:shrug:~ god i hope it wasn't him:D~

"....and if you can't be with the one you love,honey, love the one you're with...." Oh yeah, I think it's fair to say that Stevie has certainly lived by those words a time or two....or three....or four..........:nod:

"When you see the Southern Cross for the first time - -
you understand now why you came this way -
And the truth you might be runnin' from is SO small -
But it's as big as the promise - the promise of the coming day!"

Infinite amount of kudos to them for that. Times infinity. :nod:

“If you can’t fall in love with those three guys, you can’t fall in love"
Sounds to me that she liked all three! :D Well, what's good enough for Joni I say.

Um. Me. :o

Not lately, of course. I'm not that unhinged. But when he looked like this, yes.

Not that sexy... ;)

:shrug:

She did record with David Crosby on the song Street Angel from her 1994 cd Street Angel. mayb its david crosby i though i would see stevie with Neil Young personally. i read in interview her great love is Joe Walsh.

Well no, but I didn't say I had a crush on bloated-walrus Crosby. :laugh:

Sadly if you read enough Stevie interviews her great love is also Lindsey or Mick.

I agree with Lisa, Crosby wasn't always a pudgy, jailbird. Plus he inspired Dennis Hopper's character in Easy Rider. That's pretty damn cool. And maybe it's just me, I prefer the idea of her crushing on Crosby than getting down and dirty with Dave Stewart or Waddy Watchel :distress:

All three looked great back in the 60s though. Back then I wouldn't say no to any of them.

That said, at the Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert, Stevie looked happier cozying up to Neil Young. :cool:

what are you talking about? those two are pure sex. they made me so straight i looped around back to being gay again.

i'd die if they dated or collaborated.

You're right, it's just the thought of running my hands through Waddy's scraggly, thinning hair is sometimes too sexy for my mind to handle.

omg, me too! Even if she just covered one of his songs, but a collaboration would be the ultimate. Plus, that picture of them together at that tribute has to be one of my favourite photos ever. That said, Neil has his hands full with these two lovely ladies.

sometimes i am so overwhelmed by the thought of it i run to the nearest homeless person and start caressing them.

LE SIGH.

i haven't listened to emmylou in ages.

:lol: I can't even think of a response that comes near to topping that. :laugh:
All I know is that even pudgy, jailbird, whacked-out-of-his-mind-on-coke David Crosby is more attractive to me than Waddy in his best Sunday suit with his most Frizz-Eased hair.

Don't worry you'll feel the need soon. No one can go too long without a little Emmylou.

what if he broke out the hair straightener.

surely that would turn your crank, right sharon? :lol:

that's a medical fact.

and i say that as a doctor*.






















*full disclosure: a "doctor of awesome" is not actually a real doctor.

:lol:

i think WW would let down his hair for you, sharon.

he might even take off his cape for you. oh darlin', there's nothing that he'd rather do.

score!

I'm going to post another photo of Neil and Emmylou to get that disturbing image out of my mind :D

i can't blame you for that. :laugh:

Here are a couple of pics that I would like to contribute to this thread....

Who is the female midget standing in front of Stevie?

Thanks! That's the photo I was talking about.
I remember the second one with Stills too. They actually look pretty good together there.
Does anyone know what concert that's from?
David?

^ I don't care if you are a med school graduate, you guys need to stop talking about my boyfriend. :mad:

Peace Sunday at the Rose Bowl, June 6, 1982
It looks like Joan Baez to Stevie's right.

I know that lindsey and mick were great loves in her life I am not a new fan been a fan since I was 9 years old and I am 39 years old now so I am aware of her great loves of lindsey and Mick but here is a quote from Stevie in a recent people magazine interview May 4, 2009.

"The Great, Great Love of my life for about two years was joe walsh". "There was nothing more important than Joe Walsh, Not my music,not my songs,not anything".Stevie says.But cocaine ruined the romance."We had to break up or we though we'd die. It took me years to get over it. It's very sad, but at least we survived."

Mmmmmmmmmmm delicous.

I second this. Wholeheartedly.

Her "great, great love"'s have time constraints :)

yes that is true she also states that it took years to get over joe walsh and I am sure she still has feelings torwards joe walsh as well as she does with lindsey and mick its like anyone who has more than one lover even the ones in your past still mean't something to you wether it was good or bad it sounds like she enjoyed her time with him.

My point being that Stevie thinks everyone is her greatest love. She's either an incurable romantic or delusional. :lol:

Knowing La Nicks, I'm voting a bit of both :)

I agree with you Stevie is dramatic and there is drama with every relationship and they are all her great great loves:thumbsup::]:lol::nod:

Totally off subject, but I love the Kirk avatar! I always argue with my brothers who the REAL Captain of the Enterprise is (they say Picard). Capt. Kirk's a Pimp!! :thumbsup:

~jamie

There is only ONE captain of the Enterprise and he goes for a tall green skinned woman in a black dress and his name is Kirk.....James T. Kirk.

I'm confused. How has a conversation about a musical crush turned into one about Stevie's great loves?

Back to the topic, Stevie was talking about Buffalo Springfield's song Rock And Roll Woman in the Logo Online interviews and how it inspired her in the early days. And, of course, that's a Stephen Stills song.

It's interesting. Before this year Stevie has never talked much about her influences, bar Janis, but in recent months we've seen quotes about Janis, Joni and Crosby, Stills And Nash. I can hear all of those in her early work. Maybe she's getting nostalgic in her old age.

Stevie Nicks right next to Mick Jagger.

Yes THIS sounds like a good idea! :thumbsup: :rolleyes:

Kirk does own, will have owned, and in fact always has owned, that chair on the bridge and been Captain of the Enterprise.
He'll NEVER give her up!!! :p :lol:

Tectonic thread drift.

She talked about Joni & "Ladies of the Canyon" & "Court & Spark" many, many years ago. And there are those photos she took in the late 1970s that perfectly reproduce Joni's poses on "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" (wearing the black chiffon & top hat).

And then there is the admiration for Hendrix's "Little Wing" she expressed in 1990 in Japan, as well as the '60s vocal groups like the Ronettes & the Supremes, which is probably how she decided she wanted to front her solo stage with dancing backup vocalists, all singing planned harmony arrangements.
