I read an interview a while ago in which Stevie's LA home was reported as having had a TV in every room, each one on at all times. I have also have heard her (in radio interviews) mention that she watches TV.
This article from
US Weekly, June 11-18, 2001, also describes her viewing habits:

But today, at 53, her only addiction is to daytime soap operas (“I manage to watch every day between noon and three”) and nightly jogs on her treadmill while watching shows like Judging Amy and VH1’s Behind the Music. “I’ve seen every one, from Motley Crue to John Denver, with tears running down my face,” says Nicks. “I had no idea everyone had such a hard time.” And her own VH1 profile? “I can recite every word,” she says.

Rolling Stone, 2001:

Stevie Nicks Solo Album
In 1994, Stevie Nicks was watching the O.J. Simpson trial when she came up with the title of her next album: Trouble in Shangri-La.

We know that Stevie likes to read, and that there are literary references in some of her songs, and several of her songs draw inspiration from old Hollywood. A song like "Jane" for instance, strikes me as a song that might have been inspired by her seeing a television program about Jane Goodall, rather than from her reading of a biography.
Which songs do you think might have been inspired by a program on television? Think, perhaps, even of songs that you have believed were about personal experiences.
