Stevie Nicks "Per sempre gipsy queen come nei '70" Dai Fleetwood mac a solista Ora esce "In Your Dreams"

LOS ANGELES
MARINELLA VENEGONI
La Stampa 10/6/11

«Sarò per sempre gipsy queen!» giura con un pizzico di follia nella voce Stevie Nicks al telefono, a precisa domanda. Si crede per forza, a questa artista di 62 anni che ha conservato un volto di bambola inquieta e non sembra neanche troppo rifatta. Nicks è rimasta forse l'ultima e tuttora frizzante, originale icona di quei '70 smodati, per la sua vita vissuta infischiandosene delle regole, senza mariti, senza figli e con tante droghe, con un miliardo di amanti dei quali ancora si favoleggia nei salotti più ammuffitelli del musicbusiness.

Con una doppia vita anche artistica, con i Fleetwood Mac e da sola. Ora, l'anno successivo a un trionfale tour con i Fleet, e a dieci dall'ultimo lavoro solista, è uscito «In Your Dreams», album scritto da lei e in gran parte anche dall'ex Eurythmics Dave Stewart: musica spesso avvolgente, romantica e tosta come lei è; e solo qualche volta sporcata dal vizio di Stewart per certi '80 duri da digerire.
