I know the boots are way over budget, but maybe you can use your little end of the month fund on them, they're just too fab and incredibly Stevie.
Stevie Nicks owns a very special place in my heart. Now she's no Siouxsie in my life, but she's definitely in my top ten of influential women. Stevie has an inspirational story--she's very human. She's gone through very many trials a lot of people do, but she's one of those "untouchable" rock stars.
First of all, let's start with the fact that Stevie has a singing voice not regularly accepted. Put her on the American Idols of today and she'd be kicked off right away. Her entrance into Fleetwood Mac was only due to Lindsey Buckingham telling members they were a package deal. They'd only wanted him because of his fantastic song-writing skills. From the beginning Stevie was a reject of sorts. Stevie reached fame with Fleetwood Mac, though many people know starting a band with a spouse is almost definitely a mistake. Both Stevie and Lindsey wrote songs about their breakup including Lindsey's Go Your Own Way, one of Fleetwood's most popular hits. He brought up both her cheating and drug abuse, though Stevie denied the cheating.
Stevie dealt with cocaine and tranquilizer addiction through a great deal of her fame, and from what I've read in articles she was high most of the time. She did eventually overcome her addictions somewhere around 1998.
I actually saw her on the Crystal Visions tour (2007) and it was spectacular! Stevie sang Landslide and Edge of Seventeen, among others. Stevie definitely puts on a great show, and I suggest any of you who get a chance to see her.
