He said, “Yeah, I don’t let that happen.” A good five years later, I reminded him of that night and he remembered. Basically, “If I ever see you again, I will kill you.” I didn’t know Bill Graham. What are you doing later? You want to come home with me?” Bill Graham walked out on the stage and screamed at this guy and told him to get the f-u-c-k out and never come back.
That night was the only time in my life I was heckled-some guy out in the audience went, “Hey baby. Our band, the band I was in with Lindsey, we opened for that huge-ass group Chicago, with Bill Graham standing on the side of the stage. That was it - that was San Francisco music, Janis, Jimi Hendrix, Buffalo Springfield. Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Grace Slick - that was the beginning. What was it like when you first joined a band? It’s a time right now when women are changing the world and changing music. I tell myself, “Do it now, because you’re spry, you’re in good shape, you can still do the splits, you can still dance onstage and wear a short skirt and high six-inch heels.” If the coven reforms, I want to go back to American Horror Story. As long as I take care of myself, I am still going to be doing this when I’m 80.

You’re in the middle of a Fleetwood Mac world tour.Īt the ripe and totally young age of 70, my voice hasn’t changed. I had this hysterical talk with Haim: “OK, you need to work on your band, but at least one of you needs to start making your solo record.”īut you still never slow down. I hope that inspires the women musicians out there. I’d take a week off, then I’d be in the studio. I would already have songs ready for my next record. Every time a Fleetwood Mac tour ended, I hit the ground running.
So I did the Gemini thing where you’re two different people - let’s give Stevie her solo career, without breaking up one of the world’s biggest bands. When she meets me, I hope she likes me.” She did really like me - we got Mexican food and we laughed and looked at each other and went, “This is going to be great.”īut up until 1980, I had five years’ worth of songs that I knew were just never going to have any place to go. At the beginning people said, “Does Christine want another girl in the band?” And I said, “I hope she does. So I’ve always had the girls, you know? If I had been the only girl in Fleetwood Mac, it would have been very different, so I’m really glad I joined a band that happened to have another woman in it. Then I went into my own band where I had Sharon Celani and Lori Nicks - she married my brother. I was a female rock star in a band with another female rock star, which was totally cool. You were always a pioneer - a female rock star at a time when that was virtually unknown. I have a poem that I’ve written about Game of Thrones, and I have a really beautiful poem that I’m writing about Anthony Bourdain. Writing another song, are we?” To this day, I write all the time. But I was writing all the time, so they just went into my Gothic trunk of lost songs.Ĭhristine would walk by me - my totally sarcastic best friend. But I just had so many songs! Because when you’re in a band with three prolific writers, you get two or three songs per album - maybe four. I never wanted a solo career - I always wanted to be just in a band. It’s still a hard rock band - but it’s much more girlie-girl than Fleetwood Mac is. You’re one of the few rock stars with both a band and a solo career. It’s 22 guys that have gone in twice to zero women - Eric Clapton is probably in there 22 times already! So maybe this will open the doors for women to fight to make their own music. How is it different going in the second time?
Jahana Hayes on Her Improbable Road to CongressĬongratulations on the Hall of Fame. And also why the story of her life would be titled, There’s Enough Shawls to Go Around. She’s the first woman inducted twice - as she puts it, “at the ripe and totally young age of 70.” She’s also hitting the road with Fleetwood Mac for the 2019 leg of their world tour, in their surprising new incarnation after a sudden split with Lindsey Buckingham.Īs eloquent and witty as ever, Stevie went deep with Rolling Stone for an epic late-night chat about her 50 years as a rock goddess, discussing love, loss, female music heroes, her poetry about Game of Thrones, how “Stand Back” makes her miss Prince, drag queens, sexist hecklers, loving Tom Petty, why she wears platform boots and the joys of having two female rock stars in the same band. The Fleetwood Mac gold dust woman is adding yet another sequin to her top hat by going into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist, years after she got enshrined with the Mac. Stevie Nicks has the only kind of BDE that matters: Bella Donna Energy.
