I saw that this book has a few different covers. Anyone know if Stevie is one of the cover selections? I saw one w/ Madonna on cover, one w/ Nirvana on cover, and I forgot the 3rd.
I really want to get this book. Besides the SN aspects, I just recall this time so immensley. Just thinking about it I feel old, but so what. Was fun when MTV first launched.

And while she's staring at the camera during some of those close-ups and not singing all I can see is her flared nostrils and dilated eyes and I thought wow...But I always thought the editor was more coke up than she was lol

I always thought that was what they going for rather than a straight ahead lip synch. I've seen other videos where they start lip synching then stop but the song continues.
And don't we all know the video to the point where you know when she's going bite her bottom lip, do the fist pump, do the fishy lips, pull her hair out of her mouth etc? ;P

This is funny....Around 1983...One Morning at work (at Mtv) my phone rings and it's Stevie Nicks calling from LA (9:30am in NY, 6:30 am in LA). She wants us to play one of her videos right away so she could see how her hair looked. Ten minutes later, we played the video

I was just at another book store and saw the DD cover, so yea, I guess that's it. Thanks for the info tho. If I do get the book and there had been one w/ SN on cover, ofcourse I'd have wanted that one. A shame that they didn't.

...and of course when she sings "blame on something at first sight" and then holds up four fingers. That always kills me.
