“My grandfather was very much like me — couldn’t play for shit, but wrote wonderful songs and lyrics — he was a country and western singer, and heavily into it. His name was Jessie, and my father’s name’s Jess.” —Stevie Nicks, Sounds, October 30th, 1976
Happy Father's Day! 🎣🏌
Stevie with her Dad Jess Nicks at her wedding in 1983.
On a favorite Christmas memory…
“When I was 5 and a half I got up in the middle of the night and caught my father downstairs putting together a blue baby buggy for me and I was you know, wondering why he was there and doing this and he told me that Santa had come by and was so busy and in such a terrible hurry that he had conferred with him for a little while to, how to put the buggy together and that my dad had said he would take care of it for him. And I believed him and went back to bed.”
MTV Interview - October 1987
About Landslide…
Interviewer: “That song is so beautiful, you wrote it about your Dad, right?”
Stevie: “Not really. He likes to think that though.”
Interviewer: “But I thought you wrote it about it about your Dad.”
Stevie: “Um, no well, I always told him that because he wanted to believe that, so…”
Interviewer: “Ok, so what’s it about?”
Stevie: “But, well, it’s really about- and I wrote it in 1973 and I really wrote it about when Lindsey and were really, we’d been together for already like seven years and we were really wondering whether or not, you know, if that was gonna work. Should we break up, should we stay together? So when you listen to those words it’s about taking your ego down and deciding, well we’ve really worked a long time on this, should we just throw it all to the wind and go our separate ways or should we hang in there? And that’s really what it was about, but as it went down through the years, it did sort of start to go with the fact that it was about family and then it kind of did become…it was my dad’s favorite song. So then, then it kinda did become about him.”
