Tavi Gevinson interviews Stevie Nicks for the New yorker!

February 16, 2022 11:47 AM

Stitching together of two separate interviews from 8-9 years apart! [alternate link] Here is Tavi Gevinson's link to the now sadly defunct Rookie Magazine. I was wondering what was up with Ms. Gevinson after she closed the magazine. looks like she has transitioned into being a Broadway Actress. EXTRA: Here is her article on singing Sondheim songs on Broadway [alternate link].

I think I am going to start referencing new friends by the time of day, although it won't sounds quite as cool as Steve Nicks telling Tavi "we are definitely friends of the night".

The Gun Song is also weighing heavily these days...

What a wonder is a gun!
What a versatile invention!
First of all, when you've a gun—
Everybody pays attention!

When you think what must be done,
Think of all that it can do:

Remove a scoundrel
Unite a party
Preserve the union
Promote the sales of my book!
Ensure my future
My niche in history

And then the world will see
That I am not a man to overlook!
Ha-ha!

I was listening to Warren Zevon and the lyric "Where will you go/ With your scarves and your miracles?" made me wonder, dude, did you just break up with Stevie Nicks before you wrote this?

I have to confess that for me Stevie Nicks was more of a joke than a singer. I was never a Fleetwood Mac fan. But something led me to read the article, then I read the long Wikipedia entry. What I found was a really thoughtful, honest, and highly creative person. She was all over the place musically in her long career and still remained herself. And her constant journaling as a foundation for her creative work made me jealous. I guess I have to catch up with that part of the last fifty years I missed. Thank you for posting this.
