Stevie and the new Rolling Stone
 

If you haven't gotten the latest issue of Rolling Stone, go get it. :blob2: :nod: I subscribe, so I don't know if it's on shelves yet, but the cover is the 1,000 issue. THere is a great collage of artists. Stevie, though small, is on the upper left hand corner. It's the classic 70's shot of her. Inside, is a picture of the issue with the mac on the bed from '77. Many of us know the tales of that photo shoot LOL, but the article reminices and is heart warming still :blob1:

I'm glad they even included her on the cover and the mac in the issue. They seem to ignor them a lot and have cast them off insignificant. I have a feeling Jan Werner hates Stevie.

I saw this issue today as I was out getting the Andrea Bocelli cd "Amore" for my Mom for Mother's Day. :xoxo: It was kind of neat seeing Stevie making the cover of Rolling Stone again, albeit a small little space on the upper left hand corner of the page. There had to be at least a 100 small little heads of "artists" on the cover, so I guess Stevie was paid respectable homage. No Mac, any significance to that? Hmmmmmm... I perused the "heads" and Bill Clinton was staring me in the face...I about freaked out! WTF! :laugh: Other than that, everybody on there, belonged on there, that I could see.

On a sidenote I heard "Sara" and "As Long As You Follow" in the stores today folks..the Mac is still alive...:laugh:

AND DON'T FORGET, THIS SUNDAY IS MOTHER'S DAY!

stevie is also in the fold out section where they show high school pics of artists, she is right next to tom petty~

Fleetwood in Flagrante

Rolling Stone [RS1000]
May 18 -June 1, 2006

Cameron Crowe had been covering Fleetwood Mac since 1973. “I had gotten a ride with a date to see Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles play,’ he remembers. “I was wandering around with a tape recorder and interviewed Fleetwood Mac, and one of the road crew stole my date.

Crowe kept writing about Fleetwood Mac as they grew into the biggest rock band in the world. This cover story chronicles the making of Rumours, which would spent thirty-one weeks at Number One and sell 19 million copies. “We knew we were on some kind of roll,” says Lindsey Buckingham, although he says they had no idea how big the record would get. Crowe, at least, had an inkling. One page of his notebook has but a single sentence: “Suddenly everybody everywhere loves Fleetwood Mac.”

In the article, the band members spoke of the stress and conflicts that had led to breakups for the entire group: Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, Christine and John McVie, as well as drummer Mick Fleetwood and his wife, Jenny. Rumours’ songs were steeped in tension and recriminations. “The musical soap opera brought out the voyeur in everyone,” Buckingham says, “And their protective instinct.”

Crowe says that after his Fleetwood Mac story came out, “other musicians would say, ‘Well, I see the level of raw honesty the magazine wants from us.’” Told this, Buckingham snorts, “I wouldn’t necessarily advise that to other people. It was part and parcel of the band for us – all our boundaries got melded and we couldn’t hide our level of pain.”

Annie Leibovitz’s iconic cover of Fleetwood Mac in bed perfectly captured the band’s interpersonal dynamics. On the day of the shoot, Leibovitz says, “I thought I’d be nice and polite, and I brought a bunch of cocaine for everyone. In those days, for photo shoots, you just brought cocaine. I took it out, and they looked a little freaked out at first, but then consumed it in, like thirty seconds. Then I learned they’d all recently been to rehab. So they were all a little jittery and tense.”

Buckingham’s memory of the session centers on something different: After Leibovitz finished, everyone got off the mattress except himself and Nicks. Wearing only their bedclothes, the two of them stayed where they were and just held onto each other.

The wounds of their breakup were still raw. Says Buckingham, “After all that we’d been through, knowing that we loved each other – somehow, we just couldn’t get up.” For five minutes, maybe more, Buckingham and Nicks shared a silent embrace. Leibovitz and the rest of the band milled around until finally Mick Fleetwood returned to the mattress and whispered to the entangled pair: “Guys, you’re freaking everyone out.” –G.E.

BAHWAAAHAHAA!!!!

God love 'em!

I know - I have this vision of them kind of snooping around and then Mick diving in followed by the four all holding short straws :laugh:

It was like this movie I saw the other night, called "54" all about the Studio 54 in its heyday: all the drugs & the scramble for power & influence & the treachery & the deceit & the self-absorption & the Ziggy Stardust sucking-up-into-the-head stuff. Fascinating ...

Fleetwood Mac fell into the American Dream, as Stevie once said. What she didn't specify was that there are several American Dreams, not all of them equally salubrious.

Was this the big production with Ryan Philipe, Selma Hayack, Liv Tyler, etc.?

Yes, I love that movie, I heard it wasn't succesful, but I liked it. It inspired in all things happenning in that disco (the E! True Hollywood Story about it confirmed a lot of the facts, like the sex in the balcony, the old woman dancer, the "vip" basement, etc. I think the movie is inspired in that research, though the way they show the fall of the discotheque, and the way the IRS entered, was far from reality (it was Hollywood after all)

The soundtrack (2 CDs) is a must for classic disco fans

BTW, Does Liv Tyler appear there???

Yes I think that was it.

that movie has HOTT written all over it

Does anyone else think Stevie's pic on the cover is way too small!!!!!!!

I do, of course. but then, I think she should have been right next to Janis Joplin...;)

I'd never heard this particular nugget. It makes the whole "No one told us coke was dangerous" statement even more hysterical.
