Reminds me of Stevie saying that when everyone tells her that, she doesn't know if it's the truth or not.

Quote:

After the concert, a visitor asks if she's aware of her influence on today's celebrities (Madonna, Sheryl Crow and Demi Moore have sung her praises). ''Well, it's hard to know if it's really true or if it's just someone saying it,'' Nicks says. ''If it is, I am proud of it. ''

I think Stevie has the kind of life she always wanted. She could have had a family but she wanted a career a lot more. It was that important to her. She has fame, money, fans, lovers, etc. She can go anywhere she wants to in a moment's notice. She can record an album immediately if she wanted to. She has a neice, she has goddaughters and godsons and I am sure they love her very much. You don't need to be a mother and grandmother to be loved by children. Stevie has many friends and she's still friends with ex's. Sounds like a wonderful life!!! Stevie looks great and she is beautiful. If her life was pretty lousy, she would look awful. She doesn't. There is more to Stevie Nicks than what we all really know. She looks like a happy woman and is gorgeous in her 60's. Being a mother and grandmother is wonderful but having $$$$, a limo at a moment's notice and a chance to go to Hawaii or Europe anytime I want sounds pretty darn good

I think this is really interesting because it seems to buy into the idea that Stevie throws around that being a mother/wife and being a rockstar are mutually exclusive. They're not. Plenty of women have managed to do both and enjoy having that balance in their life. Pat Benatar comes to mind right away as a woman in rock comparable to Stevie but one who is pretty famously married and has two children.

Lots of women rockers have been listed in this thread, but did any of them have a band career and a solo career along with raising the rugrats??

I'm not being sarcastic, I'm seriously asking!

ButterCookie · #**100** 02-15-2010, 10:11 AM

Patti Smith was working whilst raising her two kids.

blondyy-x · #**101** 02-15-2010, 10:36 AM

Ann adopted her daughter in '91, and Heart released an album in '93. She then adopted her son in '98, and Nancy had her twin boys in 2000, and Heart continued touring and brought out another album in '04. Ann & Nancy also had their side band throughout the 90's, and released an album in '97.

I don't know much about anyone else, so i'm no help there.

Well, they aren't rockers, but all of the Dixie Chicks have kids and 2 of them (the sisters Emily and Martie) underwent fertility treatment (and both have twins as a result) to become mothers. They take the kids on the road with them. They called the kids "the seven peeps" when they were touring. Since then, there's been an 8th child born.

What I meant was, are there any who raise kids but are in TWO bands, like Stevie is in both FM and her solo band?

Sorry I wasn't clear!

With the winter Olympics going on, I thought about this, it's from an article in the Ashland Daily Tidings from last summer:

http://www.dailytidings.com/apps/pbc...LIFE/907180303

Tai Babilonia wears a gold half-moon charm around her neck, given to her by Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac. The only time it ever came off was at the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York; she will never take it off again.

That year, an injury to her skating partner, Randy Gardner, caused them to withdraw from the Olympic competition. The two, dubbed "America's sweethearts," by the press and fans, saw their dreams of Olympic gold disappear.
