They got $25,000 - cool. OMG, The Chain just came on the radio...wild.
NEAL PRESTON's Star-Studded Exhibit Garners $25,000 for Stevie Nicks Charity 10-Nov-2006 Written by: It was a star-studded event on November 9 at the newly-opened MORRISON HOTEL GALLERY on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. Luminaries such as Stevie Nicks, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Cameron Crowe, Anthony Keidis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Diamond and Keith Emerson came to support their friend, legendary rock photographer NEAL PRESTON, at his first ever West Coast photo exhibit. All proceeds from PRESTON’s print sales that night were donated to The Stevie Nicks Soldier’s Angel Foundation, totaling $25,000.00. The Stevie Nicks Soldier’s Angel Foundation, established in 2006, seeks to aid the healing process of wounded U.S servicemen and women returning from overseas duty through the gift of music. Donations are used to purchase iPods, which are then loaded with music and personally given to the wounded recuperating at Walter Reed and Bethesda Hospitals in Washington, DC. PRESTON, who is perhaps most famous for his fly-on-the-wall, “you are there†photos of Led Zeppelin during the 1970s, is one of the most highly-respected photographers in the genre. With a prolific body of work that spans the most significant rock n’ roll decades, PRESTON has photographed such rock royalty as Zeppelin, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Queen, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac and many others too numerous to list. PRESTON was one of the lucky few that were allowed inside, behind the velvet rope, touring with superstars and capturing the entire experience on film. PRESTON’s work has appeared on numerous magazine covers (Rolling Stone, Time, Newsweek, People, etc.).

That said, I love what she is doing for the soldiers. I think she has a huge heart and it's clear that her experience with them has affected her in a very profound way. I would like to donate to her foundation.

I am not really sure how it works, but if she would put other people's music on it, wouldn't she need permission first? That whole copyright schtick?

 I don't know? I remember Touched By An Angel being one of the tracks, but that's it. Just googled quickly and I found this at mp3.com Stevie Nicks donates iPod to troops Stevie Nicks has found an innovative and philanthropic way to market her own music, as well as that of Aerosmith and Elvis Presley. The former Fleetwood Mac singer is donating hundreds of iPods, loaded with music from the aforementioned artists, to US soldiers wounded in Iraq. Nicks regularly visits soldiers at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. "I refuse to be pulled into the politics of war. But once these soldiers sign up, go to war and come back to a hospital, I will do whatever it takes to make them better." (1:30 p.m.)

I remember reading that Aerosmith gave her 10 grand for her cause, so that would be a reason to put THEIR music on pods.

NICKS TAKES TIME TO SMILE FOR THE CAMERA
FLEETWOOD MAC star STEVIE NICKS always smiles for the cameras these days after she was reprimanded for being too sullen by a four-year-old. The rocker was reminded of her all-too serious poses at the preview party for rock photographer NEAL PRESTON's new exhibition at the Morrison Hotel Gallery in Los Angeles last night (09NOV06), and scowled when she saw pictures of herself taken in Venice, California in 1982. She said, "I never used to smile in photos, but then I posed with this little girl and she said, `You're not making a smiley face.' It was very touching. "Ever since then, I've always made sure I smile in photos." Nicks wasn't the only famous face checking out Preston's exhibition - NEIL DIAMOND, rocker ANTHONY KIEDIS and LAKE + PALMER star KEITH EMERSON also showed up for a blast from the past. When Diamond came face to face with a concert photo Preston had taken of him 30 years ago, the stunned SWEET CAROLINE singer said, "I cannot remember that shot. It was taken 30 years ago." 10/11/2006 08:10

i love that she is bringing attention to the wounded soldiers. i find that they are often forgotten - so much of the focus is on the dead - and their lives can often be pure hell when they get back. lost limbs, brain damage, etc. here in canada, we devote a lot of attention to our soldiers who are dying in afghanistan. but if there's an ambush, and six soldiers are wounded, it is hardly noted. and then they are promptly forgotten. not dead = good. but the news organization i work for has just started doing stories now on some of the soldiers who have come home with injuries - and i think many people are realizing how devastating it can be. they deserve as much attention as do the soldiers who have died.
and one other thought - i have struggled for years with the whole supporting our soldiers thing because i don't support the war(s) at all. thankfully, canada isn't in iraq - but we ARE in afghanistan, and i, like many canadians, don't think we should be, and don't think our soldiers should be dying over there for what we believe is a futile mission. but just last week, i heard someone say something which really helped me. she said "you can support our troops without supporting the mission. it's two different things." and she was right. i am completely anti-war, and i do not support the mission. but i do feel that i can, in good conscience, support the canadian soldiers who are in afghanistan.

But this story was highlighting some of the effects of surviving something horrible -and these poor men will probably never fully recover  It was a sad story. So I do think it's awesome that this program Stevie's doing brings more focus to the men and women who are alive and fighting...

My brother-in-law did three, three month stints in Iraq. Stevie's journal entries and comments on the soldiers and their families have been a light in a dark tunnel of celebrities who think their opinions about the war are so f*cking important and then they do nothing.
Stevie understands what 'support the troops' means. Love them, help them and shut your trap about your 'precious opinion about the war'. She's talked to these men and women and she knows this cause is important to them and they see it as serving their country and they're proud of that. She doesn't degrade them by lecturing with her opinions. I love Stevie for being so wise. I love her mom for helping her figure it out. And I love her for doing this. She's precious. As if I didn't love her enough for the music she's given us. Thank you, Stevie.

Although Stevie has mentioned filling up the Ipods with music from other artists, so who knows. Perhaps the earlier ones were just filled with her own music and then she decided to add some additional stuff as time went on..
