Okay, here’s round one: 10 questions, about (keyword about) 50 points possible.

THE RULES
There will be no elimination after any of the rounds, we’re going to do this based on points. Round two is NOT TRIVIA. Longterm fans and newbies alike will have a chance to score big in round 2. Round 2 will be announced in four days. Even if you only know one answer to these questions you still have a chance to win.

You have until Thursday at midnight (United States pacific standard time) to send your answers to me: [email protected]. Please note this is a different e-mail than the previously listed e-mail. As soon as I hear from Pip, I'll let you know about overseas, but for now let's assume ALL ARE WELCOME TO PLAY, even if you didn't e-mail or post that you were going to play. There will be a second prize.

Only one e-mail per round is allowed and you Must include your ledgie username in the e-mail.

I know some of these are tough, but I’ve checked and all of this information is available on the web (except for number 3). If you have a question about a question, post it here, but please do not post your answers here. The first person to e-mail answers will get a bonus 10 points, the second person 9 points, the third person 8 points, etc. This is just so you don’t all wait until the last minute.

ROUND ONE
1. While doing press for Bella Donna, Stevie was consistently asked about a new Fleetwood Mac record. In the fourth quarter of 1981 Stevie told reporters she had recorded three songs for a new Mac record. Which three songs did she say she had recorded for the album? (1pt for each correct answer, make sure to get the titles as Stevie lists them and only 1981 sources).

2. In 1979 Stevie “donated” a song to UNICEF (sort of). What song was it?

3. How many times has the word angel appeared in Stevie lyrics (demos do not count, only officially released songs, both FM and solo, not backing vocals, and only count the times the word appears in the song, note the Nicksfix is actually off on this one) (1pt for each correct answer).

4. What position did Stevie have in the VH1 100 greatest women of rock? What position was Fleetwood Mac in the VH1 100 Greatest rock bands of all time? (1pt for each correct answer)

5. Which non-fleetwood mac, non-stevie solo videos has Stevie appeared in? (refers to music videos only, not concerts or storyteller specials).

6. Name two songs that Stevie turned down that became top 10 hits. (1pt. for each)

The Easy section:
7. What officially released Songs has Stevie recorded with Tom Petty? Name them. (1pt. for each)

8. What officially released songs has Stevie recorded with Don Henley? Name them (1pt. for each)

9. What songs were in Stevie’s set list the last time she played Vegas? (1pt. for each)

10. What name did Stevie use to check into Betty Ford in 1987?

This post will update with clarifications. If something is added here you may change your answer to that question and only that question.

Some clarifications already requested:
#3. Only Stevie-penned songs count and please list the instances. The word Angels DOES count.

#9 This references the last time Stevie played Las Vegas solo. yes, the set list must be in order

New Clarifications:
#3, yes those faint angels DO count.

#4 I meant the rock bands one they did, but people have answered assuming the 100 greatest artists of all-time, so I will count either.

#5 non-solo means songs which were not originally released by Stevie Nicks. SO for instance a video for Leather and Lace would not count, but a video for Whenever I call you Friend would count. (there is no video for Whenever I call You Friend for the record).

#7 and #8, the only response I feel comfortable giving here is that the word vocals (lead or otherwise) never appears in this question so I fail to see the misunderstanding or the need for clarification. It means what it says, What songs has Stevie recorded with...

I'm leaning towards running all three contests as individual rounds with one round elimination. For the trivia round, a set of questions will be posted. All who decide to participate would have five days to find the answers and e-mail them (NOT POST) to me. This should allow everyone time to respond and get them right (sort of how the old Mac jeapardy used to run). The second round would then be posted along with the folks that survived elimination. This method would seem to make it a level playing field for those always on the ledge, those will dialup, those who are away, etc.

I don't see any probs with sending stuff overseas. I send and receive stuff all the time. The cost is dependant on weight and if anyone were to get stung with customs futies it would be the person receiving it. I'm pretty sure you just mark it as a gift

Okie dokie. I just wasn't familiar. Overseas folk are welcome to participate. Thanks!

[MacMan]

Yeah, I'm in Canada and have send to the UK or there abouts for quite awhile... No problems... Shipping is a couple bucks more, and I mark as a gift to avoid customs to.. and keep the value of the item (s) low on the little label you stick on it...

I mark it as a gift, and it still goes through customs. Though now I'm wondering if I should start lowering the value on CDs I send overseas. The last two batches to Europe were $22 for shipping. That was via air mail, insured, and one was registered. Of course, it was about 36 CDs. So would marking the value lower make a difference?

[trackaghost]

Whew, done it!
That angel one was the killer. And I've still probably got it wrong.


It's on its way!

Is this too complicated? Let me know and I'll change it.

By "list the instances" do you just mean the number of times for each song? ie, "Angel - 1 million times" like that?

Yes, I mean how many time stevie sings the word angel. Plurals weren't going to count, but since many people counted them already, plurals DO count. Those that responded and didn't count plurals can resubmit that answer. I will give an example of what I mean with this question:

let's say stevie wrote a song called, "I Sing the Word Angel Many Many Times" and the lyrics were:

This is a song about drugged out Emerald Angel
She danced like a Blue Chimpanzee
So I approached
I asked her to write this for Me
My Sweet Angel, Angel, Angel.

The answer would be:
4- "emerald Angel" one time, "angel, angel, angel" one time

You can phrase the instances however you like (some have listed all the lyrics and underlined the word angel - (you are all very thorough). Some have just said: "angel of the morning"x4. Pretty much anyway is acceptable.

For the record: There are still a bunch of bonus points points to be had for answering early.

I should also add that no one has submitted a perfect response yet, but none of the submitted ballots are too far off. Additionally, I've said before but I want to emphasize, while it will help to do well in this round, you don't have to score perfectly or really even close to perfect to still have a chance to win this. Other rounds may be worth more points... So if you can't answer all of the questions, don't give up, just send the ones you do know and guess the rest (there's no penalty for wrong answers).

Oops! I get to redo that one.
