Really cool to know it's actually Joni Mitchell. Thanks for the info!

It's not a ridiculous mistake... ever since I was a kid, whenever I saw a woman wearing a blazer with a pair of jeans, I thought to myself, "oh, she's very Christine today."

I think it's great. I think the reason why it seems to some of us that it repeats a lot of scenes we've seen before is because we've watched the sizzle reel so many times and a lot of this is in that. Had we not seen the sizzle reel we may think different of it.

I got a kick out of
how much shes holding and singing to that owl.

It looks like a bunch of recycled footage. The only thing I like about it is Waddy Watchel. He seems like the walking dead.

I agree, I love it. I mean c'mon, who would have thought in 2011 we would be getting so many video projects from Stevie Nicks!?! This is video #4 - a world record for a Stevie Nicks/FM record! And besides, we all know they also filmed video's for WSS, IS, IYD & YMBTO as well. So overall, that fact is that all these songs were filmed on a tight budget & schedule (most likely funded by Stevie) this is all pretty fantastic! I LOVE this one much better than "Secret Love". So yeah, it's not perfect, there is no possible way for her to please everyone, but Stevie is flawless in this, and the imagery/elements really capture an atmosphere & create a bewitching mood.

For me, after watching it's palpable that they all had such a blast dressing up in costumes, trying to be serious and a little campy. It's a glimpse into how much fun it was for Stevie & Co. recording & filming this entire project.

GREAT stills Christopher! !

Can you do one where Stevie is in profile singing to the owl? I'd love that!

ha! amazes me some people are calling this her worst video ever? Really? Ever? I know nothing will be as iconic as the treadmill run on Stand Back, but I think this is a step above some of her other videos (Blue Denim anyone?).

Rudeness remains in abundance on The Ledge as always....

I wasn't actually being serious John, I'm sorry... my intention was to playfully rib ya (indicated by the laughing face I put at the end).

Absolutely love it. I am so burning this and taking it to work with me tomorrow to play over the monitors. I'll put some other stuff there as well but I swear to God if I have to watch one more Bieber video, I'll burst.

(I work at a music retail store, btw)

Hopefully if I play the video a few times, I can sell some Stevie units, too. LOL

That's great that you're able to do that!
Let us know if you get comments on the video.

Hey, that is Waddy in the video. I thought that was Patti Smith.

While I'm not crazy about SL and FWIW as singles, and I don't much care for the "Moonlight" video, I am pleasantly surprised that two of the three singles are Stevie compositions with no co-writer. From the time of the album's release, so much talk in the press was devoted to how Dave co-wrote over half the album. I was concerned that the Stevie songs would be overlooked as singles choices in favor of Stevie/Dave fare like "Cheaper than Free". I'd rather have "Moonlight" released as a single with a crap video than "Cheaper than Free" with a great one.
