Ann & Nancy Couldn't Match Stevie's Intake

[BombaySapphire3]

Ok thanks..I had deliberately avoided looking at her earlier Q&As since I went to the one out here.

I wonder if she puts Lindsey, Waddy and Dave right there behind Eric Clapton. Just before she did Vegas that first time, she was extolling Eric's virtues and I was waiting for her to start comparing him with other guitarists, especially since she was angry with Lindsey at the time.

Here's the video. http://vimeo.com/50972516 The Ann & Nancy mention starts @53:22 - she rambles on a bit before she touches on her impressions.

Thanks, Christopher. Didn't she say something about having "angry eyes" for the Wilson sisters?

To clarify, I'm not saying Stevie shouldn't *be* upset, I just mean that it's silly to be public about it. She could just as well have not addressed it, called Ann and Nancy up on the rotary phone ( ) and expressed her displeasure privately.

It's a small thing, really.

I want to see Stevie pen a cathartic song about how angry she is with Ann and Nancy Wilson and title it "The Barracuda Wilson Sisters"!

I was hoping a heart tour together with Stevie would happen it doesn't sound like they are close friends according to stevie in this q@a in hamptons film festival interview she seems bitter torwards them. I don't blame Stevie though for not dealing with her downs in an autobiography it was rough and scary for her why dragg it up again and have to say to hope she doesn't say anything else more about her relationship with Lindsey we have heard enough of that too. Lindsey has clearly moved on from Stevie she talks till this day like they are an item still maybe on stage when the mac is back that is about it.

I think we shouldn't take Stevie quite so literal about this subject. I don't believe its all in her head. Lindsey just keeps his mouth shut with cameras around so his wife doesn't beat him over his head w/ his favorite guitar (wouldn't want to damage that axe). Even Mick said some things in those interviews after or around the end of the Unleashed tour "...does it still sorta happen ...yes it does ...." Anyway cut her some slack. I will volunteer to spend time around both of them next February during rehearsals to see if the magic is still kinda there or not....lol

I saw this very odd comment from "danielleNJ" on YouTube! To "danielleNJ", Stevie has sour grapes! I'd like to know HOW that is even possible??? WHY would Stevie Nicks, who was THE one that was crowned "The Reigning Queen of Rock 'n' Roll" by Rolling Stone magazine, have sour grapes???: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga0fkfXqFl4

All she said was that Ann and Nancy would not be a vignette in her book because, she would write only about the "Romantic" and "Magical" times!!
Maybe she does'nt wish to write about this time in her life because as she said many times "Everyone already knows"!

I thought she was very articulate with her answer regarding the "Book" by the Wilson Sisters and was very dignified and composed actually.

While not necessarily "best friends", maybe what Stevie's saying is that their time together was more important/significant to her than it apparently was to them...? She could have felt that being mentioned only in this context was belittling of the relationship, whatever it is/was.

That said I'm almost done with the book and quite like it. The Wilson's have always seemed like kind, polite, ladies and very appreciative of their fans. My impression of them hasn't changed despite a few bits of dirty laundry tossed in for good measure...

I think Stevie is simply saying what they wrote wasn't cool. No need to analyse it beyond that. Personally, I thought Stevie handled the situation with grace.

That isn't entirely true...he's made plenty of comments about how special she is to him, how they still have a bond, how when they get together it's just like when they were younger, blah blah blah. I also remember him getting a little real while re-hashing the issues of their breakup at the 92Y Q&A. He may not talk about it in the same grand, sweeping terms as Stevie...but it doesn't seem like he's much more "over it" than her either.

With the Wilson sisters' low-brow attitude towards their fellow musicians, is it really any wonder that Heart isn't in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame???

I don't know whether Stevie's mad at the Wilsons or not. But why does everyone keep dredging up a magazine headline from a quarter-century ago? Does the fact that Rolling Stone wrote a headline for Heart, calling them "Rock's hottest sister act," mean anything more than marketing razzmatazz? Don't the magazine's editors write a headline for every cover? Is it meant to be taken quite so literally as an eternal credo? Rolling Stone called 50 Cent "the king of hip-hop." They called Jennifer Lawrence "America's kick-ass sweetheart." They called Lady Gaga "monster goddess." They called Snoop Dogg "America's most lovable pimp." They called Lil Wayne "rap's genius." Don't you guys recognize headline language when you see it? If you want to appreciate Stevie's poetry, you can't be oblivious to the various guises of rhetoric.

Besides, I always knew the Nicks headline was a kind of double-entendre. The full headline (to remind everyone) was "Out There With Stevie Nicks: The Reigning Queen of Rock & Roll and Her Magic Kingdom." The subtext is that Stevie is alluring, regal, and wicked-cool, but also a space cadet. That's what's meant by "Out There" (and by the Timothy White article itself, which talks about Stevie spending her time in Neverland, bringing along a pup tent, and how she lets the metaphors of fairy tales overtake her real life). She's the Queen of Rock & Roll, but she's the queen of a "magic kingdom," a fairy tale, an illusion.

All titles come from somewhere. Someone first started calling Michael Jackson the king of pop, it wasn't bestowed upon him from God above. It just catches on. And Stevie's has - I read it all the time in articles, not just from crazy people on a Stevie Nicks forum.
