Connie Breedlove Hi Srevie! In regards to your album "Rock a Little", where were you at in your life and what was the motive for the title song? I've always felt so drawn in to it, thank you!


Stevie Nicks "ROck a Little" I lived in Venice Beach, LA on the sand. It was the first time I had ever lived on the ocean. Every time the waves break, my whole condominium shook. So, I would think it was an earthquake. It took a long time to not be startled every time the waves crashed down on the ground and made it shake. I started to write this song about the ocean rocking a little. Even when it's calm, it rocks a little. That's where the whole parallel to the ocean came. "Rock a Little" was about 7 months before I checked into Betty Ford. It was a dangerous time in my life, where I was really walking on the dark side ... I love that record, but that was a difficult record to do, because I knew I had to go into rehab but had to go on tour first. I was scared, and it was starting to make me sick.
