Lets Talk About Space Needle

I had read somewhere that someone slipped Stevie heroin at a party and she said she was really mad because it was the one drug she had vowed to stay away from. I'm trying to find the article.

Ah, ty, Blue Letter Archives.

But back to Nicks. She sits on a huge sofa and is almost swallowed up by it. She doesn't look anything like her publicity photos; she's smaller, fatter and older. She sips iced tea and tells me she's no great fan of LSD. Or heroin.

"A guy once slipped it to me, I was so angry that I threw him out of the house and never saw him again."

Cocaine? Well that's another story altogether.

"Let me tell you something about cocaine, it's not a creative drug. It will not help you paint a masterpiece or write a symphony. What it does is to give you energy to do something. People forget that people in pop music tend to work very hard. If you've been working for 18 hours for six days straight, you loose all your energy, and you fall back on something that will give you the energy to keep going.

"I wasn't 29 until I first tried coke. Let me tell you something about heroin and Fleetwood Mac. We never dabbled with it. We didn't wanna commit suicide."
