Dave Stewart sent the following tweet:
shooting video with Stevie Nicks and Mike Campbell tomorrow for her new single Shane McClafferty from @WeaponsofME directing should be fun

Very exciting! Looks like they are getting behind this single on all formats. Who knows, maybe VH1 will rotate this one. I was kinda surprised they didn't play SL

After shooting and editing, the video should be ready for distribution to media outlets in two weeks. That's about a month and a half after the initial single release. Wow, yet another marketing stroke of genius!

Hmmmm I doubt it. Look how long we waited for the Secret Love one, Stevie, Dave etc are slllooooowwww... and for no reason other than bad planning which could be perceived as not giving a.... As you say, why the Hell are they just doing the video now for a single that has already been released?? Ridiculous.

I am not particularly happy about FWIW being stuck in my head all day. JTIS.

Who cares why or how long it is going to take? Were any of us honestly even expecting a video for this single? I know I wasn't! Just be grateful that we have something else from Stevie to look forward to.

I agree! I love this song, and a video will be great. I hope it's sold on iTunes!

Amen RockaLittle...shes 63 and we are getting another video...Can we just be happy...The truth is that the record company and Stevie and Dave could be smarter than all of us and they could keep a slow but steady approach to the cd and the tour and the promo and you might have Grammy nods due to this "slow burn" approach.. she IS NOT Britany or Lady Gaga or Beyonce or even Adele...she is a 63 year old legend that wont have the same record play that she did at 29yo when she was spinning and coked out of her mind...she is fricking amazing - she is a senior citizen who just graced us with an incredible cd and working her ass off to sell a million copies...god bless her!

What about all the videos they've already made? Why aren't any of those songs the new single?

Or why didn't they make a For What It;s Worth video back then? Because there seems to be not a pick of sense between Stevie, Dave and Warner Brothers put together! What are they doing???

Messing with our heads.

I'd forgotten all about the documentary anyway at this point.

Very good question, my friend!

I really don't think there's all that much marketing concern left for this album/single. I think they're just doing what they want to do. I'm glad we're getting a video at all. I didn't expect this album to be the second coming of Stevie Nicks anyway. I think the record company is going to put all their effort and support behind someone younger. Sad, but true.

Anyway, I adore Dave Stewart. And he said on Twitter last night that the documentary is "80% finished".

The A&R department of a record label usually chooses a single with input from the artist (though it's often happened that a label picks a song the artist doesn't want released as a single), and apparently WB decided they wanted to release "For What It's Worth" despite the fact that Stevie hadn't previously filmed a video for it.

Meanwhile, look at the bright side -- when the "FWIW" clip is completed, we will have gotten THREE videos from this album so far. When was the last time we got three videos from one of Stevie's albums? Never. And, to make it even sweeter, we still have more videos to look forward to. Total win-win.

I'm not that fussed about them taking forever to release a video. I mean, Stevie's never going to have a hit single again, this is a sad but true fact, so it's not like she needs a video to promote it. I'm just happy we're still getting videos from her! It's like she's making it as a gift for the fans, and if it helps shift a few copies of the album / single, then that's great, but, I don't imagine they're making the video to use it to really push promo for the single to rocket it up the charts.
