Stevie exchanges

ka10 · #1 06-09-2005, 01:09 PM

I know there's another thread going about touching Stevie,

but I'm curious to know what any of you have said, or overheard anyone else say, to her. Anybody suddenly draw a blank or get "foot-in-mouth" syndrome when face-to-face with La Nicks?

The one time I got to shake her hand during EO17, I didn't want to come off like some potential stalker or anything, so all I muttered was a simple, "Thank you!" She just nodded and smiled.

I completely froze in front of her at the AHI benefit post-concert party in 1998. She walked into the restaurant, came within about 3 feet from me, and looked right in my eye.

I was so stunned that I just stood there and stared. I think it freaked her out a little and she kept moving. She was very skittish that night because it was when she was being stalked by that guy who wanted her to cure his homosexuality.

To this day, I kick myself wondering why I didn't just smile and say something nice to her. As anyone else who was there that night knows, that "party" was a disorganized mess and Stevie only signed autographs for a handful of people and left, so I missed my chance to meet her.

I met her in '88 and got her autograph, but I was only 5 and don't remember a thing about it. No pictures either.

I touched her again during the SYW tour. I didn't say anything though. If I get the chance again, I'm going to say "Street Angel rocks."

I spoke to Stevie when I met her in 2001. It was quite a surreal moment really. I can't really remember what I said now...it all sort of passed in a blur. I know I told her about my daughter Rhiannon and she thanked us for coming from the UK to see her. She also admired the gift that we gave her. Then she signed my tourbook and then thrust it at Sheryl Crow and told her to sign it 'They have come from the UK..'

Then when FM came over here for SYW she spoke to me at the edge of the stage after the London show. It was my third show and I'd given her a letter with a gift at the 1st one. She came over, took my hand and told me she got my letter. I couldn't really get what she was saying at first so she made like a writing movement with her hand and said 'I got your letter, Thankyou for your letter' Pretty cool

Well ~ I got all choked up and started to cry. I know ~ I know ~ she's just a person like the rest of us but I love her music and her songs so much. I was in OKC and I was front row and at the end of the concert and everyone took a bow ~ Stevie started to walk off and I yelled (in my cheerleader voice) STEVIEEEEE. She turned around and looked at me and I said thank you for your songs and that I love you. She walked right up too me and took my hand and told me she loved me too. I really don't remember much after that. They lady standing next too me took my arm and asked if I was going to be OK and if I was there with anyone.

That was a special moment that I will never forget. I was able to tell her thank you. The coolest part is that the next week I posted my review on the Fleetwood Mac message board. A few posts in the thread later a girl said that she thought that she got a picture of that moment. I was ecstatic. I asked if she was from Oklahoma City and she said no that she was from Texas. I told her I live in Texas as well ~ long story short ~ we meet for dinner and she gave me the picture of Stevie taking my hand and we have been friends ever since. With Stevie Nicks there is truly magic everywhere.

Many, Many, Many moons ago I had a chance to speak with her at length backstage after a concert. I asked her a few Fritz questions and we spent the rest of the time (I know) talking about Tiffany lamps. She was receptive to talking antiques, so who was I to argue? I now know a few points in spotting Tiffany fakes. (Could never afford one). I think she enjoyed talking about things outside of music. (I was too stunned at the fact that here I was with Stevie and we were talking about - LAMPS)

But that was over 20 years ago, and if I ever get the chance again to speak to her at length.(doubtful) I can think of a FEW more questions to ask. I hate telling people this story cause they give you that look. "You had that chance and you talked about lamps?" I just wanted her to stick around, I think if I had changed the subject back to music areas she would have bolted. And it was kinda interesting. She knows her lamps! Oh well. (I did get an autograph and a hug).

No. I am pretty sure I knew nothing about that then. It is one of those happy yet "cringe" kinda things. I was razzed by friends for years after that.
I didn't know there were so many "Lamp" jokes.

You finally get to speak to a beautful, famous women who is a rock icon - and you talk about....lamps. Trust me, I got abused over it. Still do.
