“I’m not going to worry about record sales anymore, and I’m not going to worry about what people think — because, really, what really matters is what I think. If I’m thinking good, and I’m thinking happy, then what I do is going to turn around and make you feel good and happy. We just bounce off of each other. I throw the dreams out there, and you throw them back at me.”

I like that:nod: Now...can she hold to it?

Mick

we'll just have to wait to see what tomorrow will bring!

To quote Lindsey from the dance, "It seems like everything goes in cycles..." I'm remembering back to when Stevie needed Tom Petty to get her writing again, then she needed Dave Stewart. IMO, it's time for Stevie to write because it's what she does, it's her art and it heals her to do so and when she feels good that's what her music does for people and that's really what it's about...at this point she doesn't need the money, she just has a need to feel appreciated for what she brings the world...and given how much she sacrificed in her personal life for her band/solo career while those around her have children and families; I'm sure she has regret...what's it all for mentality. It's good that she shifted her perspective and is focused on what brings her happiness and then what else is there but to be present and enjoy. I do believe that her writing process is one that she does not want to share with Lindsey...if they do more work together she needs him to respect her need to do what she does and then he can come into the process to co-create in a harmonious way. If he's too pushy she'll play the I don't need you card. Just my opinion on why she hasn't recorded new material with the mac. And I do think she has been writing while on tour.

Yay, Stevie! Way to shrug it off and do it for yourself. You go, girl!

‘I’ve done all I can’: Stevie Nicks makes no apologies for delaying start of Fleetwood Mac reunion

by Something Else! Reviews

This time last year, Mick Fleetwood was openly grousing in the press, saying Fleetwood Mac was ready to reunite — but they were waiting on Stevie Nicks. Now that they’re back together, she makes no apologies.

Nicks, in fact, decided to give a second year of touring 2011′s solo effort In Your Dreams, a Dave Stewart-produced disc that arrived 30 years after her solo debut. The work paid off, as the album eventually sold nearly half a million copies worldwide.

“I did not walk away from In Your Dreams until I felt good about walking away from it,” Nick says in the attached video, “until I felt like, ‘you know what? I’ve done all I can.’ Now, I can put it in its little magical box, up on my library shelf where I can look at it every time I walk past. Now, I can move on. Now, I can go back to Fleetwood Mac. Now, I can do what we need to do.”

Nicks has since returned to Fleetwood Mac, which just released an EP with its first new music as a group in a decade. Extended Play, available via iTunes, includes a track originally left aside in the sessions for Buckingham-Nicks, the duo record with Lindsey Buckingham that preceded their joining Fleetwood Mac.

Apparently all is forgiven, after Fleetwood and Co. had to cool their heels waiting for Nicks. She wouldn’t have it any other way, however.

“That’s how I’m going to live my life, from here on out,” Nicks adds. “I’m not going to worry about record sales anymore, and I’m not going to worry about what people think — because, really, what really matters is what I think. If I’m thinking good, and I’m thinking happy, then what I do is going to turn around and make you feel good and happy. We just bounce off of each other. I throw the dreams out there, and you throw them back at me.”

Ugh. This whole "dream pitcher, dream catcher" meme is going to be Stevie's analogue to "cycles" and "chapters." :rolleyes: I am sure she is going to write a song all about this (if she hasn't already).

But kudos to her newfound clarity on record sales. I don't believe a word of it, but I'm happy that she is at least trying.

Record Sales Angel?

well you know what they say...admitting one has a problem is half the battle. Good for you Stevie.

LMFAO!:D:laugh:

Now THAT'S the Stevie I know and love. :nod:

Good One! :blob2:

Or maybe, The Internet Stole My Angel

:laugh: Good one.

Good for her!!!

I think so. I think the IYD experience was good for her. She felt proud that she worked hard to sell every one of the 300,000 copies it sold. And it also got her used to the idea that she's no longer going to get a Gold record automatically with every release.

She doesn't say she will record again.

It really bothers me that she took that second year to promote IYD, as she absolutely deserved to do, and then SQUANDERED it by spending the bulk of it opening for Rod Stewart. She omitted many of the new songs, resorting back to her "greatest hits" set list with a few new tunes thrown in.
