DAVID WILD SPEAKS TO STEVIE NICKS ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON... TO APPEAR IN UPCOMING SPECIAL ISSUE OF ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE.

"Midway through the film, Stevie Nicks -- a truly beautiful woman inside and out who I've loved since high school -- called to discuss Michael Jackson for a special issue of "Rolling Stone" that's coming right up. So I found myself sneaking out to lobby and recording our talk about Michael, music, fame and life as the absurly loud sounds of endless transformer battles bleed loudly through the theater walls."

David Wild is an Emmy-nominated television writer, a best-selling author, Contributing Editor for Rolling Stone, producer of The Chris Isaak Hour on the Bio Channel and wrote the foreword in the liner notes of Stevie's Crystal Visions Best Of CD/DVD release in 2007.

MITCHELL'S COURT AND SPARK (By Stevie Nicks)

THE RECORD THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

Thoughts on Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark

By Stevie Nicks | Elle.com

Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark. I was over at [Fleetwood Mac producer Keith Olson’s] house, and he had these great speakers that were as tall as me, and Joni’s record had just come out, and I put it on. He went away, it was just me, and I listened to this record for three days. She was able to stuff so many words into one sentence and not have them sound crowded. She was talking about what it was like to be very famous and to be a woman living in a man’s world. She had been in the world of fame much longer than me, and she had gone out with every famous rock ’n’ roll star that there was. And she was such an amazing guitarist that they all respected her. That was unheard of. She was in the boys’ club. She talked about what I saw coming. Even though Buckingham Nicks had tanked, I knew that we were going to be very famous, very rich, and that this fame thing was going to overwhelm us. So when I listened to this record, it was like a great old premonition just being laid out in front of me. There is a song on it called “The Same Situation,” and that song just would kill me when I’d hear it. Because I knew it was coming.

(VIDEO) STEVIE NICKS "NEW ORLEANS SONG"

A couple of years ago during various press interviews when asked about recording new material Stevie mentioned that in the wake of Katrina she wrote a song for New Orleans. Fast forward a couple of years later in New Orleans on June 20th - the last date of the American Unleashed Tour - Stevie sang a few lines of this mystery song. For Stevie Nicks fans, this is a hopeful sign that one day, in the not to distant future she will record it and include it on a new studio album.

The lyrics in this clip appear to be:

I want to sing in the streets of the French Quarter

I want to dress up, I want to wear beads, I want to wear feathers and lace

I want to brush by the vampires that go down Bourbon Street

STEVIE NICKS FAN SEES EDMONTON CONCERT

Fleetwood Mac ensures P.E.I. Steve Nicks fan sees Edmonton concert

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — A lifelong dream finally came true Wednesday night when a fan from Prince Edward Island finally saw her idol Stevie Nicks up close and personal at a Fleetwood Mac concert in Edmonton.

“I am beside myself, I’m ecstatic,” Pauline Doucette said before the show, wearing a black T-shirt bearing the singer’s image and holding a bag of gifts for the band.

“This is unbelievable, a memory of a lifetime.”

Doucette originally held tickets for Fleetwood Mac’s May 13 concert in Edmonton. She had saved money for months to pay the airfare.

But the concert was cancelled at the last minute when a member of the band fell ill.

In some ways, it didn’t surprise Doucette — in her hometown of Summerside, P.E.I., her nickname is “Black Cloud Polly,” an indicator of a long string of bad luck and her struggle as a 45-year-old single mother living off a disability pension.

But her luck changed when the band heard her story.

For the rescheduled concert, they ensured she had a room at a posh hotel, filled with band memorabilia including T-shirts and autographed photos, as well as a chance to meet the band members with a backstage pass.

The band had also offered to fly her back out to Edmonton, but she had already accepted an offer from a woman — a complete stranger — who offered to give Doucette her Air Miles for free.

“I’m still speechless,” Doucette said Wednesday. “It’s beyond anything I had expected.”
