Happy Birthday Stevie Nicks... Born On This Day May 26, 1948

ONE YEAR AGO fans filled The Wiltern Theatre in L.A., including myself, to celebrate Stevie's Birthday and also to celebrate the release of her new album "In Your Dreams"... The show was dubbed a "Record Release Concert" What a party it was!... As you made your way into the theatre you couldn't help but pass by trays of stacked up cupcakes plus this giant 3 panel Birthday card that could signed and I'm assuming was somehow delivered to Stevie later... It was a great night full of new music from the new album and a few surprise guests including Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Dave Stewart and Mike Campbell. Although it was Stevie's Birthday and we were there for her, the night it seemed turned out to be an amazing gift back to her fans.

Happy Birthday Stevie!

Well, well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Stevie Nicks! Rock on gold dust woman. That's nice, as it should be.

A gay friend turned 45 last month and got a very nice Stevie photo in a double matted frame, with calligraphy below the photo- 'Rick, Happy Birthday! Rock On, Ancient Queen'. The nice matt-filet (sp?) and frame didn't make it. Photo is fine!

A friend of Rick's had bought the litho and he did the calligraphy himself, then had it all custom-framed, the photo and the 'ancient queen' comment calligged below the photo. The photo was liked, the rest was not appreciated, hence the photo was removed and all else was thrown out.; 28 May 2012 at 20:17

Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album
by Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas

In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac’s epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.

Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn’t get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band’s Grammy-winning sound.

Hernan Rojas’s story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet’s coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.

Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.
