INTERVIEW - Stevie Nicks "I’m gonna do another record"

[fleetwoodtrick]

I don't think I'd be able to play piano in Stevie's presence!

Me: *stares at Stevie* S-s-s-s....
Stevie: ...
Me: *headpiano*

besides the fact that i can't really play the piano, only a little bit by ear, my meeting with Stevie would go like this:

I love emoticon-only posts. I'm picturing a blown up face, but with Stevie's hair.

Ever the rock gypsy, Stevie Nicks preps a new live album and DVD while touring with Fleetwood Mac

By John Russell

First, because I think it’s such a spectacular show, and second, because the next time I go out on my own, I wanna do something really different. I wanna find some different songs in my repertoire and I wanna do maybe a little unplugged thing. Maybe I’ll play piano.
What do you think touring with Fleetwood Mac would be like if one of the guys was gay?
If one of us had been gay, I don’t think it would have mattered. I think it would have been fine. The love and respect that we have for each other would certainly have overridden any way that anyone would have felt about somebody being gay. I think we would have all been absolutely fine with that. It’s really about the music at that point.

So, Night of a Thousand Stevies is coming up in May, and there are die-hard fans who are convinced that you showed up one year in disguise.
I didn’t. I did not. But you know what? Sometimes I think I should just lie and say I did! The fact is that I’ve never been to a Night of a Thousand Stevies, not because I wouldn’t like to come. I would love to go. But I’m always working. And I’m usually working on something that I can’t get out of. And I live on the other side of the country. I would love to attend Night of a Thousand Stevies. And what I’d like to do is come in total Stevie disguise. Which of course nobody could do better than me! And one year, watch out all you people, I will be there! And you won’t know, so watch everything you say, because I could be lurking! [Laughs]

So when can we expect some new material from you?
Well, when this whole Fleetwood Mac thing is done, I think I’m gonna do another record. I’ve been told by a lot of people that, “The music business is in such terrible shape, maybe you just shouldn’t do another record.” And I really took that to heart. Only in the last couple of months have I really started thinking, “Well you know what? I don’t even care if it doesn’t sell any records.” I need to go back into that creative world. I need to go back into the studio and sit at the piano and pull out all my thousands of pages of what I think is very good poetry, and write some new really beautiful songs and throw them out there. If people like them, great. If they don’t, that’s okay too. I need to do it for myself. So, are you going to hear something from me at some point? Yes you are.

Well, will wonders never cease? Finally, she got that stupid motion out of her head that it's not a good idea for her to put out new material. I hope she really means it. I just told my friend the same thing, she needs to forget about commercial sales and just do what she does, which is write for herself and the rest will take care of itself.
It's good to hear her acknowledge the gay fans. But for her sake, I hope she doesn't ever show up at NOTS because I think she'd be appalled. LOL. I was there one year and once was enough for me. I hope no one takes offense, but between the smoke inhalation, the horrible bathrooms, and the ugly drag queens, it was quite an experience. Cool concept though.

You must have gone a long, long time ago because smoking has been banned in NYC bars since 2003 or thereabouts. And the venue has moved uptown to the Hiro Ballroom, which is pretty nice. As for the ugly drag queens... well... unfortunately there's nothing you can do about that. Ain't that right, Strandie?

So it should be released by her 65th birthday!

Well, two outta three ain't bad. LOL. I don't even remember what year it was. I'd have to do some digging but it was definitely still at Mother when I went. I could probably put up with the drag queens if there was no smoke and a decent place to pee.

Latest data for sales on Crystal Visions - from Billboards Catalog Album Sales:

Week Ending: 10/26/2008 - it sold = 1,814
Week Ending: 11/02/2008 - it sold = 1,549

Accumulated total up to November 2, 2008 = 241,269

Keep in mind this doesn't differentiate between the dvd/cd combo and the straight cd version - all sales are combined.

Pretty damned impressive, in my opinion.
