Did you know that Ann Arbor is a College town? Do you care?
From an interview that Stevie did with Jim Ladd in December 1979 I remember her talking about a girl she met in Ann Arbor. Stevie said she was in a Health Food store for items she needed when this girl approached her and said, "you're Stevie Nicks, aren't you?" Stevie said the girl was "real plain looking but real pretty." Stevie answered,"yeah."
The girl said something like, "I just want you to know that I am an artist. I draw, and you sing. To me you are a very good songwriter."
Stevie was so touched by this statement because " all I ever wanted was to be a great songwriter" she claimed. And she told the girl, "if you ever see me in a crowd(in the future) I want you to come up to me and remind me of what you said to me here today. Remind me that you said you are an artist and that you draw and I sing" and that's kinda all I remember about that moment right now.
I'm sure in about a month or two Stevie forgot all about this girl but you never know...
