Stevie Nicks

There's a lot of like pop songs that are montaged together in this movie.

And of course, they use Landslide, uh, by Stevie Nicks, because-

Oh

... you know [laughs] I know.

'Cause Stevie Wicks, Stevie Nicks is kind of witchy, I guess.

[laughs]

So they use that, which is one of my favorite songs of all time, and they misuse it.

'Cause they literally, age-wise, they could be.

that's her.

It's a little Stevie Nicks.

It's a ballerina.

She's a pixie.

It's very like fairies and stuff out there in the woods come through witchery and

coventry and Wicca.

Very Stevie Nicks.

Yeah, but it's still rock and roll.

that's her.

It's a little Stevie Nicks.

It's a ballerina.

She's a pixie.

totally.

It's very like fairies and stuff out there in the woods come through witchery and coventry and Wicca.

Very Stevie Nicks.

Yeah, but it's still rock and roll.

So, you know, for Dolly to rise up in that era, she was limited in playtime because if you played a Linda Rodstatt record, you know, if you played one of, you know, the great country women, you had to play a dude before you could play Dolly.

you just couldn't play Dolly back-to-back with Stevie Nicks.

It was just against...

And that wasn't just country music.

I've told you this story before.

I was at a Stevie Nicks concert the night before.

I was at the Team All Sports Radio Network in Canada, a radio network which didn't stand the test of time.

And I got a call the next day to come into the studio.

We are going to review Fleetwood Mac Rumors, which was released on February 4th, 1977, was produced by Fleetwood Mac, Ken Calais and Richard Dashett.

The band on Rumors was Stevie Nicks on vocals, Lindsey Buckingham, guitar and vocals, Christine McVie, keyboard synthesizers and vocals, John McVie bass, Mick Fleetwood, drums and percussion.

Pay attention to this, kids.

Over 40 million, that's four zero million copies of this album have been sold on a record that it's almost impossible to separate the music from what was happening to the five people making that music.

All of these things were happening, some of which I didn't even know about.

Number one, John and Christine McVie were getting a divorce.

Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were breaking up from a long-term relationship.

And Mick Fleetwood's wife was cheating on him with his best friend.

Sorry, Jimmy, but Debbie Harry is a close second

to Stevie Nicks.

Oh, get out of here.

Although Debbie Harry did do Playboy.

Get out of here.

Stevie Nicks, not even close.

I mean, I love Stevie Nicks, but good God.

Hey, guys.

It's really, I think, a snapshot of Petty at the peak of his power in the early 80s.

And I think it's fun seeing him with Stevie Nicks doing Stop, Drag My Heart Around.

It's really interesting when you listen to that song without her, it's still a great song, but they bring it up a level.

When she's added to it, she brings that extra oomph to it that really makes it really such a memorable song and a breakthrough song for both of them, really, because they both had a top five hit out of it.

Nobody in that band waited for things to feel comfortable before they leaned on each other.

Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks in particular kept turning to one another all the way through the making of that record, even though the timing couldn't have been worse.

Nobody sent each other a formal invitation to be supported.

They just started showing up for each other anyway, in a studio full of the exact kind of tension that would have given anyone a perfect excuse not to bother.
