What a strong rock act like Miss Nicks may look like.

There's a lack of strong rock acts right now because record companies will it to be so.

Still the only woman to swallow a vibrator and keep on singing...

Cassette tapes sound better? Hissssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Better yet, give her a cassette version and she'll be in musical heaven. "It sounds better and you'd be convinced," she says.

So, she's lost it. Wait, did she ever have it?

Perhaps her ears are physically limited to hearing 22Hz due to years of touring. Or her tinnitus is louder than cassette tape hiss.

Built in noise reduction!

And I'd still hit it.

Two things:

1) I find the hilarity of this "California Hippie" and her get-off-my-lawn old age to be the peak of awesome. Then there's also Fleetwood Mac's notable use of computers, especially the Atari ST driving the samplers and sequencers on "Tango in the Night".

2) Can you imagine being Lindsay Buckingham and having to put up with this crazy biatch's talentless rambling, long after you had broken up? NO MORE GODDAMNED SONGS ABOUT SARAH!

Unfortunately, those songs were selling...

Cassette tapes sound better

They sound better than what, listening to music through two tins cans tied together with a piece of string?

Something tells me she did a little too much of her Gold Dust.

Oh come on... if you removed all the songs written by Stevie & Lindsay, each biatching about the other & their relationship... PLUS all the songs between the McVies biatching about THEIR relationship... you'd be left with nothing but covers and the tunes left over from the Peter Green era.

/Oh well.

I'll not diagree, and obviously as we can see from Tusk, Lindsey Buckingham doesn't neccesarily need to be calling the shots on everything, either. But Stevie Nicks was a good singer, and she contributed a great deal as a songwriter to be sure, but FM were a band of very talented people (I personally prefer Peter Green and Bob Welch flavors), and Stevie Nicks as a superstar was an obnoxiously little coked-out coont.

Old hippies and the information age don't mix well.

Tapes sound better if you have 2"tape

I miss the days before digital recording.

She made more sense when she was on a 2x 8-Ball /day regimen.

That's b-a-a-a-a-a-a-d.

No rock acts because people steal music.

Stevie, look, I admire your old band. Particularly the talent of your ex-boyfriend. But let me clue you in on why music is better now for all involved: The internet has brought acts we otherwise would never have heard of to the desktop and, by extension, our devices, burned media, etc. I was a teenager before the internet and music became inextricably linked. I had some awesome CDs, but I really listened to the same type of shiat over and over again, because it was all I knew. Sure, I had some friends at the local hipper-than-thou record stores, but my tastes were still nowhere near as eclectic and informed as they are now. Artists are making recordings with a laptop and (insert audio workstation), throwing it online and...playing to sold out shows vs. the four or five people who would have showed up back when Big Media controlled much of what you saw and heard.

Get the bees out of your vagina (and throat) before purporting to know anything about the new dynamics of the music industry. I would still totally bang you, though.

Stevie Nicks. 60. OLD.

"Damn new-fangled gadgets!"

Welcome to the, "Color TV is a fad," crowd, Stevie. You're now just like your parents.

Computers are ruining our children :

Lack of proper parenting is ruining our children.

Cassette tapes sound better: compared to CD's they really really do. They have more 'bandwidth' than CD's.

and there's a lack of strong rock acts right now because people steal music

Uh, no..

hot like Stevie is was

More Stevie Nicks whaaargarbl: Computers are ruining our children, cassette tapes sound better and there's a lack of strong rock acts right now because people steal music "You got any blow, man? Just a bump. That's all I need."

FTFY.

That said, hours spent playing first-person shooters can make little Johnny tubby, and bands that don't make money tend not to make many recordings.

But the casssssssssssssssssssssette thing? Thisssssssss is a little whacked.

I prefer vinyl, but it's hard to keep the record from skipping in the car.

I'm a huge Fleetwood Mac fan (I've even got a Stevie Nicks story) but every time I see that episode, I laugh my ass off.

If Stevie is looking for some Neo-Fleetwood Mac bands all she has to do is fire up Last.fm and listen to some Rilo Kiley.

Technology = your friend.

Well, I can tell you that as someone who lived half my life pre-personal computers, cell phones and internet, it was pretty good. Better, I'd say.

I'd give all that stuff up in a heartbeat if that was possible but you can't go back. So quit yer biatchin', Gypsy, and check out some online porn. That's why god invented the internet, you know.

I can forgive her anything just on the basis of this picture.

what does she think about straws?

I love shiat on cassette nowadays. Of course, most of the shiat I listen to on tapes was made for it, and sounds a hell of a lot better than even the vinyl, CD, FLAC, or V0 MP3.
And there are more great rock acts than ever and I've heard of more of them because we're stealing music. Fark off, Gene $immons of the world.

Yeah, pretty much so.

I've posted previously seeing Fleetwood Mac as a warm-up act when the FM album came out and seeing what an incredibly wide-load her butt is. This is why she wears 6" boots; to make her taller to slim out everything else.

It turns out she is only 5'1" so I bet she weights in at about 160.

here for the goat pic, leaving happy

Dude. She's 60 years old.

Do you bag on your grandma for having a wide butt?

Stevie, because of the dreaded INTERNET we have many more bands getting exposure, many times outside the normal commerical channels.

I know you starve for the day when everyone would buy the same 5 albums, and Rumours happened to be one of them... but trust me, you were part of a problem that is hopefully in our rear view mirror.

Quote attributed to Ms. Nicks from atricle:

It's not that she's being rude: Nicks doesn't own a computer or a cell phone. The 60-year-old rock legend, who is currently on tour with Fleetwood Mac, is a proud technophobe.

"I believe that computers have taken over the world. I believe that they have in many ways ruined our children. I believe that kids used to love to go out and play," Nicks says in her famously smoky voice.



She has an opinion. Her opinion, for me, carries no appreciable value. She is a world-famous and accomplished recording artist, and, yet, she spits out ridiculous mid-20th century glory-days foolishness; foolishness that undoubtedly goes hand-in-hand with her most profitable years as a recording artist. And FTR, she is as predatory a female "recoding artist" as any that have gone before her or come after her.

She's put out some good stuff, but is obviously now fighting her own escalating irrelevance. Stay firmly planted in the pre-Information Revolution years, Ms. Nicks. Your money shall sustain you.

Stevie can kiss me in the moonlight anytime. And more.
After she marvels at my cassette collection.

I still have a huge crush on Stevie Nicks so I'm plugging my ears and going "NAH NAH NAH I can't hear you!"

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and agree with Ms. Nicks on the last part. Sure, internet has brought us lots of bands that we would have never heard before, but a sizeable chunk of those recordings are hobbyist dreck - people with nothing to say.

We're so saturated with both good and bad that it's hard to tell the difference. And we want it for free, we demand it for free; if we can't get it for free, we steal it. Don't be surprised when really talented musicians give up the goat because there's no future in it.

Cassettes do sound better. Primarily because while most of my cds have gone to Scratch Hell, the damn cassettes are still working.

The 8 tracks tend to break at the tape join though.

My grandma? Nah. but your mom?

You need to re-read it. This was 35 years ago, when she was 25 and it was huge.

And before you get off the lawn, mow it.

Just another example of why I hate hippies.

I always preferred Christine McVie.

I worked FOH video camera for one of her shows. I was instructed by her road manager that there was to be no zoom-in closer than knees to top of head and if she turned profile I had to zoom out to full length with deck showing.

She had a make up chair hidden in a tent backstage that looked like it belonged on the Space Shuttle- complete with O2 bottles.

She spent a good portion of the concert ranting about how she personally wrote all the F.M. hits, not those slackers who backed her up.

Blow it out your ass, Stevie Nicks.

Here we go again...a bunch of thieves get together and try to justify their motivations while disparaging any one who calls them what they are...
