Stevie Nicks-The Other Side Of The Mirror-The UK Interviews 1989-1990
1.1989-"One To One" Interview
Interview w/Stevie Nicks recorded for UK TV. Stevie starts off talking about her wardrobe that she wore to this interview and being compared to Mae West. She then proceeds to talk about when she joined Fleetwood Mac and not wanting "Rhiannon" to be released as a single so "Rhiannon" will not fail and that "Rhiannon will not fall flat on her face", And how she was wrong, But how she could have also been right had it failed. Stevie talks about meeting her "babie Rhiannon's" (People who are named after the classic song). Stevie is asked where did she get her inspiration from, And gives a lengthy an explanation how she writes on the typewriter and her 25,000 pages of her thoughts/words that she has kept for 14 years. Stevie talks about not wanting to be "Trained and following rules" and how the 3 Brits of Fleetwood Mac believe they are "aristocrats/monarchs" & "arrogant" (But arrogant in a good way). Other topics discussed are the breakups that happened in Fleetwood Mac, Her closeness to Christine McVie ("Like a sister, a mother"), Her Mother being the "dearest thing in her life", Her motivation to carry on in the music industry ("Love"...love of doing it..."), Bowing to pressure and keeping her own essence, What the song "Rooms On Fire" is about. This is a great interview that is recommended.
