Hi foxyluva,

Thanks heaps for posting that transcript, it was great; would there be any way that you could perhaps post the video to the web somehere? I missed the interview and I would *love* to see it, especially all the footage they included from the Tusk tour.

Thanks heaps,
Hugh.

Thanks Hugh ! Great to see that clip. What fun footage.

And what's up with the "tragic" statement ? The only thing tragic is that news anchor's haircut.

Stevie Nicks interview contradiction #1,432: (re: cocaine)

This interview: "We all knew it was destroying us".

A million other interviews: "We didn’t' know it was bad, no one told us".

**play a clip of the little lies video**

Stevie Nicks:

I just finished 135 Fleetwood Mac Shows. We Do get along, but we all still totally fight. The dynamic hasnt really changed, you know, but Lindsey and I adore each other - but we just have that love/hate thing, you know, where I wanna do this song, and i dont, so, it keeps it very real and very passionate to this day, so theres nothing boring or overdone about Fleetwood Mac, you know?

**Plays Save Me Video**

Stevie Nicks:

Of course we miss Christine terribly, and wish that she would change her mind, but she wont, so, she does just not want to do this any more, and thats what happens to some people, they just don't want to travel any more, and thats just her deal. I think she will go on recording forever, but she doesnt want to back it up, and you have to.

Continues:

If you had to do it over, you would want to do less of everything, you know, in our 50's, looking back on it, we all wish that we had not been, you know on drugs some of the time, and the coke, you know, had been an overriding factor for all of us. We all knew it and we all hated it, It was destoying us. So there was a pretty conciensous (I cant spell

) effort at a point on the road, where we all knew we had to stop.

**Plays Clip of Fleetwood Mac Arriving In New Zealand & getting a traditional Maori welcome (Tusk Tour I Think??)**

Stevie Nicks:

We we all think back to our trip to New Zealand, you know, its an amazing story, it was the fight of all fights, and i think there was thirty thousand people there, that had come form buses all around New Zealand to see us. We were on the last song, of the set, and Lindsey threw his Les Paul guitar at me. I ducked so it didnt hit me, but i was so mad that he had endangered my life. He then stormed off the stage - and we all stormed off the stage after him. The bodyguards and everyone had to physically seperate all of us, and we didn't do an encore that night, and that is the first and only time we have not done an encore. He was mad at me probably because he... it was okay for me to be the performer that i was when we were a couple, but when we broke up, he hated that fact that i was such a lead singer. And Im sure when we left New Zealand, we were not even on the same plane.

(My Mother & Aunty went to this concert and she remembers them storming off stage, but she said it was more like 4 or 5 songs into it, not the last song

)

**Plays Gypsy Video**

Stevie Nicks:

Its still the same fire, oh yeah, because Lindsey and i, you know, we have that everlasting love affair, that though, hes married and has 3 children, can you beleive that, he has 3 children - and he is a total dad, you know, he has been taking little girls to ballet lessons - but we still have that dynamic, that just is, that just exists, and will still be existing when we are 90 years old.

**shows clip of Fleetwood Mac On A NZ Beach**

Stevie Continues:

There was hard times, and tears and broken hearts. But in the long run, when you look back on it, you are like "Hey wasn't it great?"

**Ends**

Host of Close Up

There we are, Stevie Nicks, but kind of tragic, the way it all ended for Fleetwood Mac, they were so talented too. But Stevie Nicks Will Be touring here in March with Aussie Rocker John Farnham

(I Dont Know what she meant by kind of tragic for fleetwood mac - i dont think she knew what she was talking about

)

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~ thanx for posting, she is a doll!!!~

I couldn't have possibly missed all of it, no, but I wasn't aware that some people actually believed it.

There's always those people who pop up to leave cryptic messages about how they're in the know about the personal going-ons of the bandmembers, but I just ignore them because they're nothing but fools.

Actually, in context of the rest of what she said, I believe she meant that by the time they all came to the realization that they needed to quit, they knew it was destroying them.
