I'm getting my info from "The moonlight confessions of Stevie Nicks" (Yahoo reprint from L.A. Times).
She does not have a computer. She does have an iPhone, but it doesn’t have cellular service and she uses it only as a camera. Despite her distaste for social media, Nicks has gone viral a few times in recent months. Earlier this week, the internet discovered a TikTok video in which "doggface208" skateboards while singing along to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," swigging from a container of cran-raspberry juice and generally living his best life.Oh, yeah, I saw that. It underscores the notion that Stevieness is accessible to all:

Watches the news constantly? There isn't that much news. The excerpt doesn't say how she feels about the news, but anybody who watches obsessively is going to be too caught up to have a healthy perspective about it all.
I love that skateboard video. There are also some amusing parody videos--e.g., a "Canadian" version featuring a guy swigging maple syrup.
Zappa was completely nocturnal for decades. Of course he was more productive, spending his nights in his studio working on album releases.
That's probably what Biden did so he could stay up till 10 pm.

Oh my GOD. What a shitty and pitiful life. You're Stevie Fucking Nicks. You can spend the rest of your life steeped in art, music, books, and nature without a single care for where your health insurance comes from or who's going to clean your toilet or what's for dinner tonight. You won the cosmic lottery. You have that most precious of things, which is free time and the resources to do whatever you want with it. And you choose to spend that time watching the open fucking sewer that is TV news for hours and hours?! Jesus Christ on a pogo stick!
Imagine that, a musician that is a night owl.

Is he a "pony soldier"?
Stay in school and don't do drugs.
We went to a county fair about fifteen years ago when our boys were in high school.
There was a booth at the carnival where a guy in a jumpsuit and hockey mask danced around trying to dodge the paintballs being shot at him from a pretty close range.
Of course, my boys thought it was hilarious and were soon shooting at the poor guy behind the mask.
When they were done, the barker (the guy taking the money and handing out the paint guns) went up to my boys, looked them right in the eye, and said (with a smile) "Stay in school, boys."
Some of the best advice they've ever received...
She sounds emotionally unhealthy.
Way back in the 1980s, the first lesbian I ever knew had a crush on Stevie. The first lesbian, a med student in my wife's class, had a female friend who was a Marine NCO. Said Marine got our moving truck packed in the most expeditious manner I could imagine, and all I had to do was bark, "Aye, Aye, Ma'am!" as I moved the boxes and furniture she pointed at, into the UHaul. What women we had in those days!

When I moved out of my house in New Hampshire, two lesbians packed the contents up and loaded them in a big U Haul truck. I drove said truck to California with my golden retriever for company.

The first couple months of the shut-down, many of the people on my street came out at 7:30 every night to bang pots and pans for 5 minutes. It started as a “support the healthcare workers” thing, but it turned out to be the highlight of my otherwise dull, drab, and awful day. In addition to the adults “visiting” across porches and kids running up and down the sidewalks in their approximation of socializing, some guy always rode down the street on a skateboard pulled by two huskies. That would be the Canadian version.
I wanted to be on the edge of 17 with Nicks when I was a teenager.

I guess once you've had Don Henley snort coke off your ass the rest is just all down hill!

Back when men were men and women were too : )
Ditto, pants. what a waste
Stevie Nicks.
Of course, who else could be so fascinating?
Yes, the famous Stevie Nick.
I just have one question.
What's that?
Who's Stevie Nicks.
According to wikipedia she's 5-1 but can sing like a giantess.
I guess it's healthier than cocaine. OR IS IT?
Is Stevie still smoking hot? I’m afraid to go look.
This is the Stevie Nicks character I always imagine. Nocturnal, moody, hopelessly out of contemporary fashion; an elusive creature of creativity, with a desperate need to communicate what bubbles from within sonically. Yeah, my stupid fantasies of a seriously talented, batshit crazy goddess musical type of creature doing what many of her Boomer Generation drift into; wasting precious elder time staring at the boob box.
She had it going on at a point where I did (in a smaller way) and I'm glad to have been there. Not much of a life.
I saw this vid go by on twitter and immediately liked it so I could find and watch it any time. Perfection.
Imagine that, a musician that is a night owl.
COYOTE
No regrets, coyote
We just come from such different sets of circumstance
I'm up all night in the studios
And you're up early on your ranch
You'll be brushing out a brood mare's tail
While the sun is ascending
And I'll just be getting home with my reel to reel
There's no comprehending
Just how close to the bone and the skin and the eyes
And the lips you can get
And still feel so alone
And still feel related
Like stations in some relay
You're not a hit and run driver, no, no
Racing away
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
Joni Mitchell
(who, if talent were money, would have more than Stevie Nicks)
Watches "news" all night? There's barely any "news" on when it's happening during daylight hours, lotsa opinions tho'. Cue the nite, virtually all opinion with some repeat trash from daytime.
That may be purple drank in an Ocean Spray bottle.
Electric skateboard, feathers tattooed on the side of my head, a little vodka in the cranberry juice, and groovin on the PCH.
Fuck you! I’m an American,
Michael K, my favorite lesbians breed golden retrievers... Where did you get yours?
Stevie Nicks... I suppose my secret (mm hmm, that's why I'm posting it here) boho persona looks like her. But doesn't sound like her. She had one of the weirdest voices in pop, ever. I mean, I like it for the music she makes, and wow do I prefer her "Landslide" to the horrible nasal whine of the Smashing Pumpkins guy, but still a really, really weird voice.
These girls moved into the apartment next to mine. I was getting old and they were just out of college. One of em was into Stevie Nicks and I ended up getting into Fleetwood Mac years after their main stuff. Rhiannon. Girl got a dog named it Rhiannon. I ended up dog walking a lot. Queen of England (who still looked like her stamp 40 years on) visited Tampa to knight Schwarzkopf after the 1st Iraq war. Rhiannon and I went downtown to see the Queen of England. She drove by in a car and I think she was studying Rhiannon for a brief moment. She passed my mom in a hall and my mom was annoyed the Queen didn't even glance at her. Rhiannon.
Pity Covid lockdowns shut down her restaurant.
As God is my witness, I have ZERO understanding of why Althouse was attracted to this info bit. Zero. It's her blog - anything goes. But. . . . . I do not understand this one.
NorthOfTheOneOhOne - "I guess once you've had Don Henley snort coke off your ass the rest is just all down hill!"
Certainly was for Don Henley.
Iowan2 - "Ditto, pants. What a waste."
Oh, contraire. Ditto pants made my girlfriend's ass look so hot, it took all restraint to keep from ripping them off...they eventually came off at the end of the evening, but in a more gentlemanly fashion.
One of the funniest scenes in music video history is Stevie's "Stand Back." At one point, she marching toward the camera on a grocery store product belt when she pauses, stares at the camera, bends over, spreads her arms, and rides away from us.

Looking at the rest of the video now. God, that's so '80s!
Is Nicks trans/homosexual or does she attract people from the transgender spectrum?
In other words she's a nut.
"That may be purple drank in an Ocean Spray bottle."
"May" be?

IKR!? Raskolnikov call your office!
It is kind of sad. All those rock stars who had her and she spends her nights with cable news. But she was always something of a loner.
On an episode of South Park she was portrayed as a sheep.
Stand baaa-a-ack, stand baaa-a-ack.
