“Finally my own little Stevie.”
Ok, so I ended up not being named Stevie Nicks as my dad intended, but it seems as though he saw the change she would make in this world before most, and wanted to instill that passion in his baby girl.

This is one of her first ventures in collaborating on many levels with other well renowned artists and notes that “my eyes instantly opened and I understood why Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote together—because each had something the other didn’t have.” This is a lesson not to be taken lightly by the masses by encouraging collaboration and finding the good in our counterparts.
Nicks, now 62, remains vulnerable and nervous on her latest venture. This album is like an open journal entry and encompasses her entire self. She opens up about her struggles with drug addiction, eight years lost to poor doctor’s prescriptions, lost love and overall growth as an artist and a woman. And even though the 140 million record seller is popularly believed to be in no position to be nervous, she exclaims, “it is huge pressure, but I needed to make a record, I needed to write songs and be the artist that I have always told everybody I am…” In my humble opinions, that is a musician of great inspiration; one that creates an art form not driven by the money or fame, but to drive the passions of her listeners, tell her story and hope that it touches someone.
My parents may have compromised in naming me Lindsay (the female spelling) after Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, but from the moment he heard her sing, my daddy knew Stevie Nicks would make a difference—and if you ask me, she has just begun.
“In Your Dreams” hit stores May 3rd and is only the beginning of a second leg for Nicks. What’s next for Stevie? “I have no idea, but I do know the music will continue.”
