Get Stevie on the cover of Rolling Stone

Hitting the "like" button is a small gesture towards possibly showing people (Rolling Stone, music industry press) that we are here and still very interested & awaiting what Stevie has yet to say with her music.

Exactly. I am actually one of the admins for this FB page campaign and we need to start now for when the album drops and all the PR starts. One small gesture to show the world and Rolling Stone that Stevie still is the Queen of Rock and Roll and has a legendary career and influences a lot of female new artists.

Plus it seems with Dave Stewart at the helm of creating buzz surrounding this project, it could actually go somewhere. I say take the 5 seconds it takes to go to the page and hit the "like" button. We all gotta start somewhere in promoting Stevie. Sometimes the best things happen due to a lot of people getting together as one. I know, sounds deep and cheesy, but so true at times.

Anyway, any support anyone gives towards this project is greatly appreciated.

I think this is all going to get confused and we'll wind up with Betty White on the cover of Rolling Stone.
But it's good RS was in the studio this month with Stevie and Dave, who knows! It's been a long time, I think it would be great!

Well put Sandy... Like a Street Team or whatever they call those grassroots type of efforts.

Instead of the usual term "Street team"....wouldn't we be Stevie's "Street Angels Team"? I "liked" on facebook!

[TrueFaith77]

I think we should try to get stevie to trend on twitter

I would love to see our Stevie on RS cover,Maybe working with Dave
,He will talk her into keeping up with the Twitter thing,we know she's not a computer buff like we are,I'm glad to see Dave is into the Twitter thing.I dont know when the deadline for this is over ,but we could promote this at her concerts in august by spreading the word and making banners for your cars.I have no problem hanging them in my car in the parkinglot.

I really like this idea. Promote the RS campaign at the concert with a little blurb about it being on FB.

^^ And that video my friend, is nothing short of fabulous. You rock!

On another note, I don't mean to be Debbie Downer but the only way I see Stevie making it on the cover of RS any time soon is if this new album blows up and is larger than life and quite frankly I don't see that happening. The only other option is if (holding my breath) she God forbid flies back to the angels and I sure as heck don't want that to be the reason.

I don't know, I thought the possibility may be slim, but with this being her first album in ten years and if it is as amazing as everyone is saying, it may be a big deal. Plus, they had the cast of True Blood and Mad Men on it, which are big things I suppose, but not music related at all. I think with 26 issues a year and the fact that she is Stevie Nicks, she can make it on. The only thing is, we need people on the inside like David Wild to push it RS to do it and people on Stevie's team fighting to get it.

I see what your saying but the point is that although the casts of True Blood and Mad Men have been on the covers (even though they are not music related) they are still relevant TODAY. Stevie would have to put out something that not only appeals to us older folks but has some kind of effect on the younger generation and breaks all age barriers. Does that make sense? One could argue that many female artists would not be where they are today if it hadn't been for women like Stevie but that's just not enough. Maybe if they did a women of rock and roll special issue...

Are you calling me old?! I know what you mean, but it just seems like they aren't always looking for the HOTTEST musician out there at the time to slap on the cover. Last December they had Them Crooked Vultures on there, who were not and still are not a popular band. Their most well known member is David Grohl, and the Foo Fighters haven't been popular in a few years. Roger Waters is on the current cover. I just think Stevie Nicks is a pretty well known name, and with recent artists citing her as an influence, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Florence Welsh, Alicia Keys, John Mayer, and so on, she is still relevant. She isn't very popular amongst the younger generation today, but I think if her album is really amazing, Rolling Stone would be willing to put her on the cover.

I totally agree with that but the album would have to be stellar in order for her to make the cover and strangely enough, they won't be consulting with us Ledgies in regards to how good or bad we think the album is because we are not biased twards Stevie at all.
