Oh, I think that looks brilliant! I have to wait until Monday to see it here in Australia, so I'll try not to spoil myself in the meantime.

Fabulous! I'm SO excited! Stevie looks like she is having so much fun, and she really did a great job. I'm glad she got to have this experience!

I've got the same dilemma. Plus I'm so busy to take the time to do this. I have 2 VHS VCR's and one of them I bought off a friend in 1993. I use that one as the player and the other one, the newer one(2007) as the recorder. But I haven't used either of them in 2 years since ABC canned my favorite show, One Life To Live. I still haven't forgotten your request of me to tape those 1996 concerts Stevie did. I just don't know when I'll get around to doing it. LOL
I have a ton of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks interviews in perfect condition on those VHS tapes that I will unveil someday.I don't know when that someday will be. Last year I did a major search of my picture collection to try to please Michele and find that pic of Christine signing away her music publishing, but with no luck.

******Beware there are spoilers in this article!

Is Misty the next Supreme on FX's American Horror Story: Coven? The skilled witch is about to inch closer to finding out her fate during Wednesday's hour when musical goddess Stevie Nicks guest stars.

The hour, fittingly titled "The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks," will see Lily Rabe's Misty Day finally come face-to-face with the only "other witch" -- as showrunner Ryan Murphy first coined her -- that she's ever known.

Nicks tells The Hollywood Reporter that she reconnected with Murphy, whom she knew after Glee paid tribute to Fleetwood Mac with a season two episode, when the prolific writer-producer called to use her music on the series. Nicks recalls the conversation in which Murphy told her about Misty, describing the character as one who lives in a swamp who uses her music as a way to calm down.

"I know how beautifully they handled the music on Glee, so I knew that this would be great," she says, noting she watched her first ever episode of American Horror Story while she was on tour in Europe and was hooked immediately.

"It's a horror story told through the eyes of a fairy tale," Nicks says. "Ryan really does write about misfits, whether it's Glee or American Horror Story, and I was a misfit. I traveled around in high school. I was the new girl before the eighth grade, before the 10th grade, so I understand that. I thought by the second episode of Coven that it would take my music to a whole other generation. From 14- and 15-year-olds to 40-year-olds and expose it people that have never heard my music or never heard anything about me really. So as a writer, that couldn’t be better, because as a writer, we just want to affect people."

After returning to the states after Fleetwood Mac's Australian tour was canceled when bass player John McVie was diagnosed with cancer, Nicks had five weeks off and called Murphy with a request: to walk through the New Orleans house where Fiona (Jessica Lange), Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) and Zoe (Taissa Farmiga), among others, reside.

"In my mind, I was seeing myself walking through the big white house with the big black dress, beautiful hair, makeup and fan and just walking in and saying, 'Here I am! You can all go now,'" Nicks says. She ended up staying five days and with a two-episode guest arc.

"It was the trippiest thing I've ever done," the singer-writer says with a laugh. "I got the script and told my assistant, 'Do they know I’m not an actress? Has anyone told them I’m not an actress?' I was terrified and didn’t sleep very well. I went in the next day early -- and early for me isn’t good -- but I fell into their world like I was Alice and I fell into the rabbit hole and I was in Wonderland. And it really is Wonderland."

The Coven house, it turns out, looks eerily similar to Nicks' residence (it's "not as ornate," she says) with the same white round fireplaces, among other attributes. "I just watched my own movie, In Your Dreams, and a lot of my house is filmed in it and wondered if Ryan saw it before filming Coven," she says with a laugh.

As for the episode, Nicks performs two songs while playing the piano -- "Rhiannon" and "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You" -- with both tracks selected by producers. "I was thrilled they picked them because those are really the only two songs I actually play all the time when I sit at the piano -- which isn’t often," she says.

"They chose them because 'Rhiannon' was Misty's anthem and 'Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You' can work for anyone in the world when they've had a very long, bad day," Nicks adds. "It was really a beautiful thing; it was like a dream. Everybody just moved slowly. I figured that those times will never come again. When I'm 90 years old and I look back over my life, I’ll remember Jessica Lange leaning over the piano and saying, 'That was a difficult day,' and walking over to the couch. I’ll never forget it."

Beyond her Coven return -- on which Nicks remains mum -- the iconic performer is getting ready to revisit her long-gestating "Rhiannon" project.

"I already have some friends that are working with me and we are really starting to put it into shape and form. I may never have four or five months off again in my life and I have it right now, so I’m going to do that," she reveals, noting she'd prefer to produce the entry as a feature film.

"I also think it would be an amazing miniseries because it's long. It’s a lot of stories that are all connected and all amazing," Nicks says. "It couldn’t just be one movie and if it can’t be what I want, then I won’t do it. So I’m just going to work on it for a couple months and see how it comes out."

When pressed if she'd be open for another reunion with Murphy to produce the project, she laughs before getting serious. "That's a very good idea," she says.

She said this same thing in 2011. That she was in Mexico Rhiannoning with some friend's. She's been promoting this movie she'll never make since the 1970's.

Lol, I hear ya there. I rolled my eyes when I read that comment. Its like when she has some free time she seems to always want to bring this up.

[louielouie2000]

Stevie saying she has off the next 4-5 months basically coincides with what Lindsey recently stated about Fleetwood Mac reappearing this summer. So that essentially confirms that since none of them are working over the next several months, and that no Fleetwood Mac album will appear this year.




***SPOILERS***

Looks like I was right about HAEWAFY being her piano song on American Horror. I can't wait to see it!!

[kak125]

As if you couldn't have 1 more Stevie Article about her episode on AHS - lol! This one is even more detailed than the last.


Stevie Nicks will appear as herself in American Horror Story: Coven, the episode is appropriately titled "The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks." The Fleetwood Mac singer told E! News she was already a fan of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's work with Glee, so agreeing to American Horror Story was a natural jump, despite not having seen the first two seasons of the FX series.

"So anyway, they said, ‘It's our third season and we have a character in it, she lives in a swamp, you're her only friend. Your music is her only friend,'" Nicks explained to us. "I'm the person that [when] she's upset, she's unhappy—which she usually is—she listens to my music. I said, ‘Well, that's fantastic.' As a writer, what more can I ask for? I said, ‘Take it, take it all. Whatever you want, I'll make it happen.' And they did, they said, ‘Cool.'"

The result? Misty Day, the swamp-dwelling witch with resurrection powers played by Lily Rabe. After Nicks gave her blessing, she went to Paris and Italy and eventually joined Fleetwood Mac in Dublin for a tour. It was while in Europe that American Horror Story: Coven finally premiered and Nicks said it was like a frantic quest to get the episodes. Thanks to the help of her tech-savvy assistant, Nicks and Co. got their hands on the Coven episodes.

"I'm watching the show going, ‘Oh my god, this is the most twisted thing I've ever seen,'" Nicks said. "I can tell you, I've never seen a horror movie in my whole life. Never! I'm really not a horror person. So, I'm watching this and it is so twisted and crazy. I'm like, ‘Oh gosh, is this more than I had any idea this was?'" Nicks decided to wait for the second installment. After seeing that episode, she said she was "definitely in."

"I'm sewn in and there's no getting out now. It's pretty fantastic. Yes, it's about witchcraft and all those crazy things, but it is still seen through the eyes of a fairytale. As long as it's seen through the eyes of a fairytale, I'm good with it," Nicks said.

After Fleetwood Mac's tour was cut short—bassist John McVie was diagnosed with cancer, but Nicks said he's doing great and she truly believes "he's going to be fine or I would not be even talking about him right now"—Nicks found herself with some free time and decided to pursue being on Coven.

"This is what I said, ‘I just want to put on a fantastic long black dress and have beautiful hair and wind and really high heels. I just want to walk through the beautiful white house and say "Hello, witches!"' So, I get to New Orleans and in New Orleans, I get this script and it is not just me walking through. My assistant reads it out loud to me at 3 in the morning and I'm pretty horrified because I'm going, ‘Do they know that I'm not an actress? Has anybody told them that I've never, ever done anything like this in my whole life?'"

Nicks said she was nervous for her first day of shooting. She had very little sleep the night before, but everybody from the costumers to the cast and director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon reassured her she was be great. "I really just said, ‘OK, you know what? I'm here now and I'm going to pull it off,'" Nicks said. "I said a little prayer and I just walked straight into it with my head up and said, ‘I'm going to do this.'"

And she did. Nicks has a few scenes in the 10th episode of American Horror Story: Coven. She sings and does a shawl twirl with Rabe. The Coven version of Nicks gives Rabe's Misty Day a shawl. Nicks used her shawl in the scene, but the one that later becomes Misty's was not hers.

"Of course I took it back! It came out of the vault, but I gave Lily a really beautiful black outfit that I thought was so perfect for her," she said. "It's really beautiful—better than a shawl! She got something really beautiful that was mine for a long time and that she will have forever, and she's going to like much more than wearing a shawl around."

You may be wondering why Stevie Nicks was visiting a coven of witches to begin with, and the explanation is quite simple. Fiona (Jessica Lange) brings Stevie Nicks to New Orleans to meet Misty as a way of getting inside Misty's head and feeling out her powers. Fiona's on a quest to find the new supreme and all eyes are on Misty right now. But just because she was on set doesn't mean Nicks came away with any insider knowledge.

"I have gone through every possible scenario because nobody knows. I'm telling you, as god as my witness, nobody on that set knows. Nobody but the writers know, and the writers weren't even there," Nicks said. "So, I've gone through every idea I could get to…I'm going to be as surprised as everybody, because, believe me, they're not telling any of the actors...They can't tell anybody. I think the surprise for even the actors would be blown if anybody knew. I think it would take a toll on everybody's acting because if you know what's going to happen, I don't think it would be anywhere near as good. This way everyone is so on their toes because nobody has got a clue."

After meeting the cast and being immersed in the world of American Horror Story: Coven, Nicks still couldn't pick just one favorite character.

"I don't have a favorite. Each one of them brings something different to the party. Taissa [Farmiga, who plays Zoe] is very demure and very horrified to even be in this position in the first place. Emma Roberts is evil and great. She's so great and she's so cute. She is so the movie star. ‘Hi, I'm Madison, I'm the movie star. Hello, Madison Montgomery, movie star.' She's so into her part that it's fantastic. She just drips evil and it's so great. Knowing that she's Julia Roberts' niece, it's so crazy. You can kind of see her—you can see Julia in Emma and it's fantastic...Lily is my friend. She's like my baby. She loves—she sleeps to my music. Queenie [played by Gabourey Sidibe ], she's fantastic. Queenie just loved hearing me sing. I have to adore her for that. Jessica I got to watch act. I've never seen a real actress really act," she said.

Nicks didn’t have any scenes with Angela Bassett—she didn’t meet the What’s Love Got to Do With It star, something Nicks said she’s “horrified” by and hopes to correct soon—but she did get to know Kathy Bates quite well.

“Kathy Bates came down and then flew back with us. [It was] Five and a half hours in really bad turbulence so we had a ruckus, uproariously funny airplane trip back, so now I feel like I know Kathy Bates better than anybody because we were sure we were going to possibly crash to our deaths. We hit terrible turbulence coming into Los Angeles for about 25 minutes and we were all like, ‘This is it!’ Kathy sat through this with us and she’s going, ‘This is how it’s going to read, “Kathy Bates, Academy Award winning actress and Stevie Nicks, hall of famer, crash to the ground and four others,”’ Nicks said with a laugh. “And she’s like, ‘We’re one of the others!’ and I said, ‘Oh no, no, no, no,’ because there were three Yorkies, too. She said, ‘The Yorkies will get second billing on this one.’ I got to know Kathy. You get to know people on a plane flight, really well. It was a little plane with seven of us. It was pretty crazy.”

All this attention for a character obsessed with her music and brief cameo.

“I will tell you, when I came back from Europe after completing the 62nd three-hour show of Fleetwood Mac from April to October, I get in the car and the limousine driver says to me, ‘Congratulations on American Horror Story!’ [Laughs.] Not one word—not congratulations that you lived through 62 three-hour Fleetwood Mac shows that were great, but congratulations on American Horror Story. That’s my first moment back in the United States. I said, ‘Oh, this is way bigger than even I knew.’ Am I excited about it? You bet! I’m pretty knocked out, I’m happy to be a part of this amazing ensemble.”

Yep! Stevie & Ryan Murphy have both confirmed Stevie will be in 1 more episode. Each season has 13 episodes, and tonight's will be the 10th. So we won't have to wait very long.

I'm glad to hear Stevie's been watching the show. This season has been absolutely delightful.

Someone needs to turn her ON to Season Two "Asylum", that'll really F one's head up

Thanks for the reply. I figure that after tonight, there's ONLY 3 left (it ends Jan 29th) so they will get her in once more in the 3 left, BUT who knows which one??

I'm betting it's the finale and she sings 'Seven Wonders,' but who am I kidding?
