Exactly. Some people take all of this a bit too seriously. C'mon... just try to envision the witchy, fairytale loving, twirling, "out there" Stevie Nicks bending over and getting coke blown up her tush... that's funny ****!

Everyone needs to remember, Stevie signed herself up for fame... that includes the bad plus the good. Not to mention, Stevie has let the world know the past several years that she's a tough ass take no **** kinda gal. I *LOVE* her matra that she doesn't walk into a room without letting every single person know that she could take them down. Stevie is NOT the fragile, delicate, spacey little nymph of her stage persona. To stay in the Hollywood record business for nearly four decades you have to be incredibly thick skinned, and I believe every bit that she is.

I don't know why everybody is so quick to discount this story anyway. I think it's perfectly plausible. She went to the plastic surgeon at the start of the Rock A Little Tour, and he told her the next time she did coke she could die. Stevie herself said that didn't stop her... that she couldn't stop in the middle of a tour, and that she'd only do as much as she had to to get through the tour, then she'd check into rehab. Seems to me like if you're addicted to coke, and it's burned a hole through your nose that could give you a brain hemorrhage and kill you, yet you couldn't stop... you'd look for other ways to get the coke high. It just seems logical.
