Stevie should start wearing Purple again on stage. It's such a flattering and sexy colour.

Also, more white! She looks lovely whenever she wears white. Want more.

I've been hesitant about posting this but here it goes:
The woman is a witch, I'm convinced. I'm not trying to start rumors or re-hash something that has been re-hashed way too many times but 2 weeks ago I heard from a very reliable/non-biased source that she currently practices wicca. This is not to say she casts spells on people and rides through the night on a broomstick but she does adhere to some of the ancient practices and to be honest I don't see what the big deal is. Is it really that difficult to accept? So many people today consider themselves "spiritual" so to me this just happens to be one of Stevie's many froms of spirituality. Although I don't know to what extent she actually practices I really have no problem with it. I also don't know enough about it to judge but it seems to me wicca in general has such a negative connotation when in reality people don't even know enough about it to judge. So I say to Stevie, "Don't deny it girlfriend, embrace it and educate people. Be a witch and be proud!".

Agreed! She denies is for the same reason "Bella Donna" isn't "Belladonna". Her managers and her people let Stevie be Stevie, but there are parts of Stevie that the press would really eat up and it would not look good for her. Everyone was going ape **** over Christine O'Donnell saying she dabbled in witchcraft. She was dubbed "the crazy witch" and completely discredited because of it. Now I loathed Christine for her political views and some of the ignorant things that have flown out of her mouth, but her dabbling in witchcraft never struck me as odd or discrediting. But that is how the mass population sees it. For Stevie Nicks to admit that she is even wiccan back in the day would make everyone's preconceived notions of her to be true, and therefore they could deem her a loon. You cannot reason with 95% of the population.

I don't think Stevie is Wiccan because she has never been one to be ashamed of who she is/what she's done.. besides the drug addictions perhaps. She has said she isnt wiccan, so that's enough for me to respect that. Plus, she has sang about Jesus and has worn crosses. I don't know anything about wicca, so maybe they do wear crosses, who knows. I just know that she probably wouldn't deny it. She said it came from the song 'Rhiannon' and wearing black. She got so upset that people were calling her a witch that she got scared and wouldn't wear her beautiful black clothes anymore that she had bought. She's probably being truthful about her feelings. and we all must know that story by now.

I believe you, Steve's.

Throughout the day, I replay live versions (1981-1986) of "Stand Back," "Sara," "I Need to Know," "How Still My Love," "Outside the Rain," and "Dreams" inside my head/thoughts. It gets me through the day.

When you hear a mention of a year regarding something totally non-Stevie related and you think to yourself what Stevie was doing at that time you know you're just slightly obsessed

.
"In 1994 so and so was assasinated". Hmm Street Angel time.

Hahaha, I do that too

I don't think she is a witch. I think she's a spiritual person yes. But witch, no. I think she just loved writing songs about such and wearing the pretty clothes. I even like dressing like that sometimes.

Me too!! Two big ones for me are 1977 and 1997. Whenever I hear those two years I automatically think RUMOURS! & THE DANCE. Sometimes I say it under my breath and people are like What? The Dance?

I love Cry Wolf. Wish she had written it

. At the same time I'll never understand why Stevie puts other people's songs/covers on her albums when she herself is such a truly gifted and prolific songwriter in her own wright with hundreds of original, unreleased tracks . It's one thing if she collaborates on a song or it is a good friend or something (ie Tom Petty) and she wants to honor them but otherwise there is no justification. She must have a good reason but I cannot figure it out.

Artemis · #42 11-24-2010, 07:53 PM

Maybe she just really loves the song and wants to give her own interpretation / whack at it?

I don't like that Every Day is a song she didn't write, or Talk To Me, but, they're two of my favourite songs from Stevie ever... as is Cry Wolf. (Just Like A Woman... not so much) so, normally, when Stevie does a song she hasn't wrote / cover, it's brillo.

I totally agree, except I Still Miss Someone is one of Stevie's worst covers. I think she really should have put something else on the album, Doing the Best That I Can; in my mind is the album closer, I prefer to think that ISMS doesn't exist

At school, they play radio throughout the halls. I have friends that call me or literally pull me out of a classroom when one of her songs comes on.
& I have an organic chem teacher that looks just like Stevie from the SYW tour. I told her, she said it was the nicest compliment she's gotten all year.

Cool. Does your teacher wear Frankenboks and an old lady sweater everyday, move like a robot, and do a silly lasso dance?

Also, isn't it great to be the person your friends and family think of when they hear Stevie or the Mac? People are constantly telling me, "I heard a Stevie song today and thought of you". I love it!
