Stevie's first musical crush

Crosby, Stills and Nash

Not only did Fleetwood Mac frontwoman Stevie Nicks dish to me in our July issue about the record that changed her life, Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark, in the interview she also revealed her first music crush: Crosby, Stills and Nash. “If you can’t fall in love with those three guys, you can’t fall in love,” she said. Since then, I’ve been obsessed with CSN’s 1969 self-titled debut—not only because their folky tunes make me want to revisit denim-on-denim (see Graham Nash on the album cover, far left), but their groovy harmonies (download “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”) eerily remind me of Fleet Foxes, one of my favorite modern-day bands. For CSN newbies like me, Crosby, Stills and Nash will be available in vinyl from Rhino this fall. Something tells me Stevie’s still got her original copy.

Aw, I wonder who her favourite is. I'm quite fond of Graham.

Well I'd find it hard to believe that anyone would have a crush on David Crosby...

"....and if you can't be with the one you love,honey, love the one you're with...." Oh yeah, I think it's fair to say that Stevie has certainly lived by those words a time or two....or three....or four..........

"When you see the Southern Cross for the first time - -
you understand now why you came this way -
And the truth you might be runnin' from is SO small -
But it's as big as the promise - the promise of the coming day!"

Infinite amount of kudos to them for that. Times infinity.

“If you can’t fall in love with those three guys, you can’t fall in love"
Sounds to me that she liked all three!

Well, what's good enough for Joni I say.

Um. Me.

Not lately, of course. I'm not that unhinged. But when he looked like this, yes.

Not that sexy...

Well no, but I didn't say I had a crush on bloated-walrus Crosby.

Sadly if you read enough Stevie interviews her great love is also Lindsey or Mick.

I agree with Lisa, Crosby wasn't always a pudgy, jailbird. Plus he inspired Dennis Hopper's character in Easy Rider. That's pretty damn cool. And maybe it's just me, I prefer the idea of her crushing on Crosby than getting down and dirty with Dave Stewart or Waddy Watchel

All three looked great back in the 60s though. Back then I wouldn't say no to any of them.

That said, at the Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert, Stevie looked happier cozying up to Neil Young.

You're right, it's just the thought of running my hands through Waddy's scraggly, thinning hair is sometimes too sexy for my mind to handle.

omg, me too! Even if she just covered one of his songs, but a collaboration would be the ultimate. Plus, that picture of them together at that tribute has to be one of my favourite photos ever. That said, Neil has his hands full with these two lovely ladies.
