Courage from Stevie?

[ragandbone]

Does your admiration for (or obsession with) Stevie Nicks inspire you to bravery in any part of your life? Anything from putting on that wig, to believing in your talents, or just treating yourself like a star, or maybe her foibles inspire you to change in some way. Or perhpas there is something wilder and better I haven't thought of? Twirling in public?
I sort of use Stevie and her music as a way to ge courage for my music. I don't imitate her (although I certainly like boots and shawls) vocally, or really in any other way, except that I admire her commitment onstage. So, watching a video of her, before I have to perform, gives me courage. I have been playing the Buckingham Nicks LP before vocal warmups since high school Not because it has any inherent value for a warmup, but just because it puts me in the mood. Today, for example, I have a show, and I am nervous, and in addition to warmups, and tapes of the songs we are performing, I am watching a little video of Fleetwood Mac.
