Stevie Nicks Says "There Would Have Been No Fleetwood Mac" If She Had Not Gotten an Abortion

Nor do we know how much music will never be heard because the bands that would have performed/written/sung it never formed, their members decimated by abortion.

See, it works both ways. And it’s not much of an argument either way.

I was listening to our local classic rock station at work today. Gold Dust Woman came on and I got the song stuck in my head. A little bit later I came across this article and it literally turned my stomach. I had to turn the radio back on to get the song out of my head. I will never look at or listen to Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac the same.
 
I was not a big fan either, though I know they were a really big deal at the time. They are a perfect example of why I am better off not knowing the personal lives of entertainers I like. Just sing, just act. That’s all.
 
I find it rather sad that these performers end up often with lots of money but initially they feel overwhelmed and that they cannot take care of anyone.

Steve Tyler also admits to an abortion but states he regrets it.

Yes, I never knew anything about the personal lives of entertainers until I read their obituary. This is new to me because I read it here, but I am not interested enough in the lives of celebrities to follow their lives. I don’t want to hear their political statements either.
 
people make up justification to keep ahead of their simmering guilt. Im sorry she lost a chance to have that baby .
 
I always wanted to know everything about musicians I liked, but I was much more drawn to those who showed it was possible to have a good career without messing yourself up on drugs or acting irresponsibly.

Frank Zappa’s songs were too weird for me to appreciate till I was about 40, but I admired how he didn’t use drugs, would fire anybody in his circle whom he caught using them, and managed to stay married long term and have a bunch of reasonably well-adjusted (by Hollywood standards) kids.

Todd Rundgren wrote a lot of songs about religion, God, social justice and the search for meaning, some of it Christian and some not, and that was way more interesting to listen to than the umpteenth song about partying and sex. He also managed to keep himself out of the addiction hole and acted as a good father for many years to a child his then-girlfriend had conceived via an affair, though he knew the child wasn’t his own and he broke up with the girl right after it was born.

None of these people were perfect by a long shot, but they were doing constructive things, not sitting around burning a hole through their septum with cocaine.

She’s spiritual. That does not make her a witch. She likes old churches and magic. She seems to be drawn to mysticism.
I think there is definitely a God. I think there was definitely an angel with me all the way through the bad times. Somebody keeping me safe. I feel very spiritual now. I really believe that God makes my music good and makes me able to deliver it and makes me able to not look or feel fifty. I mean, there has to be some outside help-this can’t all be happening on its own.

I am religious. I wasn’t raised in any religion, because we were always moving when I was a kid and didn’t get involved in any church. But I believe there have been angels with me constantly through these last 20 years, or I wouldn’t be alive. I pray a lot. In the last few years I’ve asked for things from God, and he’s given them to me. And there were things I thought were gonna kill me, and he fixed them…I was destroying this gift that God gave me and asked for help. Now I’m happy, even outside my music, and enjoying my life.

Magic is a dangerous playground. But if she’s praying, maybe she will draw closer to God and turn away from the things that offend Him. That’s the hope for all of us, isn’t it?
 
This was interesting in article posted.
[During the late 70s Fleetwood Mac] Was a huge moneymaking machine, with limos and jets and drugs and crazy people all around all the time. That’s why I really hated that time in my life, because the spiritual sort of went away. It has taken awhile to get it all back.

Yeah, some of which from a pure musical standpoint were better than the version of Mac that she was in. Peter Green ruled.

I wasn’t gonna mention that, but yeah, I absolutely think their best material was from before Buckingham and Nicks joined.

I have to ask: if they’re not human beings, what are they? Clearly you don’t believe they’re trees or something, so then what do you classify them as?
