O.k. so I haven't cried over anything the last few days until I read this...nothing in particular, just full of emotion over her words and I swear I can hear her saying them. I effin love you, Stevie Nicks and truly hope you are happy in your heart. *swoon*

WELL, I think those of us who said "T.P." in 1995~1996 were RIGHT! The Star and Globe were RIGHT!

"Everybody Loves You" recycles some lyrics from "Not Make Believe"...

"Secret Love" OPENS the album! Good! Very nice intro, IMO!!!!

I knew it I knew it !! When i used to be on another board, which shall remain nameless, i got into a pretty nasty argument w/ some idiot about this EXACT subject. He claimed that TP and SN were just friends and had never been anything more. Needless to say, i wish to hell i could find him now !!

To tell you the truth, i am very surprised Stevie gave up this info ! I am mean anybody could put the timeline together and figure it out. I hope she doesn't upset anyone by this. Does anyone here know the reason for TP 's divorce ?

I love how she practically says 'Yeah, Lindsey's marriage is nothing compared to what ours would have been like'.

Love it.

Quote:

Which one, though? Lindsey, Mick, Don Henley, his Eagles bandmate Joe Walsh? She shakes her head. "I'm not sure who I wrote it about. I wrote it in 1976. It's so old, I honestly cannot remember. In '75, '76, we were beautiful, fast, sexy, love was everywhere and we were moving from person to person. That's it. Love was around every corner."

Ha! So basically "We were all f*cking eachother in the 70's, so who knows who I was talking about?"

Quote:

Nicks and Buckingham met at high school in California and started out as a duo. Had Fleetwood Mac, fame and drugs not entered the picture, she believes, the couple would have stayed in San Francisco and had success anyway. "And we would have married and had children, 'cause we were headed that way. We didn't really mess up till we moved to Los Angeles. And that was when the whole world just ripped us apart."

Oh please. You would not have. You would have imploded at some point, eventually.

Quote:

Still, she says, "Fleetwood Mac was our destiny." But Buckingham doesn't feel the same way. "I think he regrets it totally. I think he wishes we hadn't ever joined Fleetwood Mac and had just stayed together. Even though his life has now wound around to where he's married to a lovely girl and he's got three absolutely beautiful kids."

This I believe. Not in regards to their relationship, but as far as his music goes.

Ooh Scandal! I remember all those tabloid articles circa 1995-96-ish about Tom steppin out on his wife with Stevie. She had just dropped all that Klonopin weight, and the tabs were all over that too. I never really use to believe T.P. and Stevie went there, but now I'm wondering. Though, during this time she had a lot of men around her. And on the Enchanted or TISL tour, didn't Stevie introduce Carlos by saying this man has stood by me, through it all, even when I was at my lowest...or something like that. One thing is clear, this woman has many stories to still tell us.

I am feeling really emotional about Stevie right now- this article kind of put me over the edge.

Parts of it are very intense.

Top that off with the exhilaration of seeing, hearing and FEELING the sizzle reel. I've been strangely remote today, along with feeling completely distracted and stuck in my head. Everything and everyone around me may as well be invisible.

Yeah, I have been completely distracted all day too. This happens everytime a new record comes out. I swear it becomes almost a religious experience every time this woman puts a record out. It's like, I'm excited but I get melancholic too, for some strange reason. I think it has to do with the fact that I've followed her since 1981. I was 11. Strange for a kid to be that captivated at such an early age. It's been a LONG time. And I can't believe it's been THAT long and she's still here and about to launch yet another record.

need.to.stay.grounded through all of this.

Stevie Nicks: The men, the music, the menopause | Music | The Guardian

Nicks had visited Snyder during her cancer treatment. "I was so high on coke. I'd drink half a bottle of brandy on the way there, 'cause I couldn't stand it. She was so sick. And she said to me, 'Don't come back until you're not high – don't come back into this place where everybody is dying.'"

Nicks shrugs. "So that was the Robin who would have said [of the marriage], 'You've lost your mind. What were you thinking?'"

Nicks and Anderson divorced after three months.

Good lord...high on coke and drinking half a bottle of brandy? It's a wonder this woman is still alive. Just when you think you've heard everything. How the hell did she keep it together at the hospital? I would think an experience like that would sober you up pretty quickly.

And weren't they married 8 months? Not that that's a whole lot better than 3 months lol.

True and she's said that herself in other interviews and will say it again. She has said they were breaking up when they entered FM in the first place and she just managed to hold it together for another year. Now, they were going to get married and have kids and be rock stars too, even though she was on the verge of returning to college on her dad's dime, if Mick hadn't called.

It all depends on what time of day you ask her things, I guess.

Yes, she said that because of the rumors Tom even asked her to keep her distance, which hurt her.

Yeah, her saying this is a bit far left. It's pretty well known that they were on the rocks when they joined FM. This statement make me think she feels slightly envious/jealous about Lindsey's personal life now. Why else would she say this when she's been saying all these years that they were pretty much almost breaking up when they joined FM? I think it's her way of trying to reconcile or forgive herself for some of the choices that she made.

This part kills me. Can you even imagine? It's hearbreaking on both ends.

Fantastic article. Thanks for posting.
