Stevie Nicks Album

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

Is she on your list of approved unfaithfulness you have with your wife?

[Drunk Monk]

....in your dreams.

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

That was the phrase I was looking for. And no, I didn't think you would get one.

[Drunk Monk]

besides, were i to spend such an exemption, stevie ain't on the list anymore. heck, she's been off for a decade or two. i sold back all my stevie cds years ago.

nevertheless, i'd join her in that jacuzzi, for old time's sake.

I got my copy and resisted the urge to taunt you about it. Still haven't read the article. And yes, I still have a subscription to Rolling Stone. I'm probably the last one.

Why don’t I have this book?

I feel so incomplete now.

STEVIE NICKS WILL FUCK YOU UP

In the 1980s, Fleetwood Mac employed an Australian bodyguard named Bob Jones. This would have been around the time the band was recording Mirage. Jones was an ambitious sort with some ideas about a harness that could be used in the water to assist in training known as the “swim-a-sizer.” He also was eager to write a book about self-defense that women could use to ward off attackers. 
One day Stevie Nicks asked how his ancillary projects were going. As Jones tells it:
 

One day we were over at Stevie’s, and she’d asked how it was coming along. She was keen to understand the concept of how I intended to make it a train-at-home-alone manual.
“What can I do to help?”
“How about a photo shoot of you and me for the cover?”
Swear to God, I honestly meant this to be a throw-away line.
“It all sounds fabulous! I’d love to!”
“Great Stevie, I’ll ring your publicist to do a photo shoot here by the pool.”

 
And that was that. Nicks followed through on her promise to do a shoot for Jones’ book. The book came out in 1983 with the title Hands Off!, and there Nicks was, as promised, on the cover. Amazingly, Nicks showed up for the shoot wearing her trademark flowy gowns and the most incredible pair of platform boots, which prove her to be highly skilled in the martial arts indeed!

According to Jones, Nicks’ publicist professed to be astonished that Nicks had agreed to do the shoot, because she had recently bollixed up his negotiations with “one of the world’s top monthly magazines” (ahem, Playboy) by turning down an offer of $250,000 for a photo spread. I’m guessing it wasn’t the fact of doing a “photo shoot” that had caused Nicks to object.

It all makes you want to tremble at the very thought of getting your ass kicked by Stevie Nicks in a dark alley, no? She’d probably use witchcraft on you too!
At some point Nicks and Jones appeared on the cover of Australasian Fighting Arts:

In the April 1986 issue of Black Belt there is a small item that references Nicks:

Here’s an incredible picture of Nicks executing some kind of backwards kick:

I'm guessing it's because you're not a big fan.

[Drunk Monk]

i am so ashamed

How come we never talked about Lucy Lawless doing a Stevie Nicks impersonation on SNL called "Stevie Nicks Fajita Roundup"?

forgot about that one. thanks for the reminder. 

stevie has always been easy to parody.

one of my kf friends (and former freelancers) called me last week about the death of kftc. he's got a strangely high picthed voice so he sounds like a teenager and was complimenting my baratone narrations, one of those suggestions that i start a podcast or something. i told him that my voice had been ruined by my adoration of stevie as a teen. now i sound like tom waits. he thought that was very funny and said he'll start singing along with more nicks and waits in hopes that it'll make his voice sound more adult.

There's a thread on an FB group: "San Jose Music Scene of Yesteryear" with show posters and photos going back several decades. There's one in there of Fritz (the Fritz Rabyn Memorial Band) from San Jose which had both Stevie and Lindsey as members.

Ah I get it now. Stevie's trending a bit because yesterday was her 72nd birthday. HBD Stevie!

[Greg]

And you missed it. You call yourself a fan?

[Drunk Monk]

40+ years now and she still hasn't invited me to her birthday party...
