Why is Everyone in SF Obsessed with Stevie Nicks?

by Peter Lawrence Kane
The Bold Italic 

Stevie Nicks turned 66 years old not long ago, and she’s everywhere. She sang a duet on Jimmy Fallon, with him as Tom Petty. She was on American Horror Story: Coven, having played herself – possibly because Ryan Murphy can’t resist writing his love of her straight into his characters’ minds. She even did a weather report. 

With her vampish hedonism and love of shawls and Victoriana, there is something delightfully absurd about Stevie Nicks’ persona that seems to resonate in San Francisco. She is approachably, unpretentiously weird. As a drag icon for years – although the Night of 1000 Stevies is a New York thing – she’s a recurring specter on the scene. We asked some creative current and former Bay Area residents their thoughts on this brilliant woman, the goth-witch draped in chiffon who sings white-bread songs with universal appeal.

And although they’re skipping San Francisco for Sacramento and San Jose, Fleetwood Mac will tour this fall, in their full lineup. Just in case you were wondering.

Good read...

The Elusive Lindsey Buckingham Spotted at Beverly Hills Deli

So this is where he's been hiding out!
Pre-occupied by something ahead of him... Alex Miles snapped a pic (and posted it to Twitter) of Lindsey and his wife Kristen sitting in Nate 'N Al's Delicatessen in Beverly Hills today.... at what looks like breakfast or brunch.

Good to see him out and about!

Castle Theater, Maui

A concert experience like no other! An unparalleled chance to hear the real life stories “behind the curtain” of rock-and-blues legend, Mick Fleetwood, drummer and founder of the Fleetwood Mac band. The first part, in a talkstory setting, Mick will tell stories about his world travels, musical influences, and new life on Maui as an entrepreneur, inviting questions and interaction with the audience. 

The second half of the show is all music, joined by Rick Vito on guitar, Lenny Castellanos on bass, and Mark Johnstone on keyboards.(And you never know what other special guests & friends of Mick will jump onstage!) The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band hearkens back to the blues-driven sound of early Fleetwood Mac, but will also delight the audience with new sounds and rhythms. It's a great Maui send-off to Mick just before he takes off to join the extensive 2014 Fleetwood Mac World Tour -- and a music event not to be missed!

Never before seen Buckingham Nicks Album Cover outtake Photos @StevieNicks @Lndsybuckingham

These are simply gorgeous... They're small - but large enough that you can still appreciate them... All are outtakes from the Buckingham Nicks album cover shoot.  There have been a few outtakes from this photo shoot floating around over the years, but this is the first time I've seen photos where both Lindsey and Stevie have tops on! That's likely the blouse that Stevie spent all the money on for the photo shoot and it never made the cover.  Photos courtesy of thearenamaster on Tumblr




So here's the back story on these... Apparently these originated on ebay as negatives and with some clever photo swapping of some sort, they were turned into proper looking contact sheets.

From the ebay seller. And I might add, I find it kind of sad if Stevie and Lindsey don't own their own copies of these knowing that the photographer was Jimmy Wachtel, Waddy's brother.  If I were them, I'd buy them!

The winning bid was $15,000.00 !!!
