==Stupid hatnote==

Below is a quote from the tour section in the article:

"In 2023, she and Billy Joel will perform a series of concerts across the United States".

== Recommendation ==
What do you think of making a section on her voice?


The article's lead section appears to be overly descriptive of her accomplishments rather than providing a broad overview of Nicks' life and career.

== Touring with Joe Walsh ==
==Blindness==


The following sentence:
I've often heard that Nicks has very poor eyesight and may well be legally blind; surely this should be mentioned if it is true. (And if it is not, it's a common enough belief about her that should be debunked.) I haven't found anything conclusive about this, so if there's someone who can document this, please do so. ] <sup><font size="-2">]</font></sup> 20:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

::Read my post again. Is she near-blind or isn't she? If she is, it belongs in the article. I do not feel strongly about Stevie Nicks, and would prefer that someone else who knows the subject matter better add this information. ] <sup><font size="-2">]</font></sup> 07:37, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
:::According to , Nicks' eyesight was indeed poor, but "legally blind" would imply that she could barely see even with corrective lenses, which seems not to be the case. That article mentions her switching to semi-permanent contact lenses (it sounds like she switched to those right around the time of the plagiarism court case over her song "Sara"), and many interviews mention her need for "unflattering glasses" in the past. She also apparently had some sort of in the 90s, presumably so she wouldn't need the contacts anymore. This (a couple of years after the eye surgery) indicates that Nicks must still wear reading glasses, however. - ] 18:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


''Nicks toured with Walsh in 1984.''
==Betty Ford twice?==


is inaccurate. The tour with Walsh as opening act was in 1983, not 1984. See Waddy Wachtel’s website for confirmation (Wachtel was the lead guitarist on the tour).
This article makes it sound like Stevie went to Betty Ford twice for cocaine addiction. According to any interview I have seen with her, she claims that she had to make it through the "Rock A Little" tour before she could go to rehab. There should be some clarity in the writing as there seems to be some confusion with her time with Dylan & Petty in Australia vs. her Rock A Little tour ending in Australia and then the start of her stint at Betty Ford.
Also, the straw, roadie and anal consumption of cocaine has NEVER been substantiated. In fact, Nicks says that this completely untrue. Therefore, those statements do not have a place in a Misplaced Pages article. ] 06:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

what is Stevie Nicks husband name and what does he look like? ] (]) 11:38, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
==Breasts?==
I have never heard that she had implants. Please someone find a source for that claim.

She had botox one time that made her sick. She has never had Breast Implants.
Stevie has always been honest about her addiction. She went into the Betty Ford clinic for cocaine 1 time. When she went to the doctor and the doctor told her about the hole in her sinus cavity and that she would die if she did not quit, is all it took for her to get help. She then was given a prescription by her doctor for Klonapin so she would not relapse.(The doctor's decision)not hers. She became addicted to it and had to also get treatment for it. (There have been many many interviews where she has talked about the breast implants and how they made her sick.)-She had Botox shots one time and it made her sick. She has never had Breast Implants.

== University of Southern California ==

I heard from somewhere that she went to USC and was in the marching band and thats why they were on the song "Tusk". Any validity to that.

--I have never heard that. I'm an avid Stevie Nicks fan and do alot of reading and have never read anything even mentioning that. --] 06:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I am also a fan of Stevie Nicks and know pretty much everthing there is to no about her. Stevie went to several high schools which are Arcadia High School and Menlo-Atherton High School where she met Lyndsey. She went to San Jose State College. She has never been in a band. This is something I got from a site The University of Southern California marching band played on this. Mick Fleetwood decided to use a big brass sound after a visit to Europe in 1978 where he saw brass bands marching down the street. The band thought it would be a good idea to hire a band to play their intro music at concerts, and this idea developed into the USC band recording this at Dodger Stadium.

That album is not considered a major album. The same thing happened with Fleetwood Mac's Mirage Tour DVD, it was excluded because it didnt make a big enough impact to be noticed. If you feel strongly about it then somebody can add it to the list. ] 06:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages is not a personal journal for your opinion thoughts like that, it's considered vandalism, please do not that again. (] 05:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)).

==Cocaine, Novel method of ingestion==
It's a well known fact that she used to have a novel method of ingesting cocaine which comprised of a roadie blowing cocaine into her rectal canal. However i can't find a credible link to this story, is it worth noting? It is part of Rock and Roll history. ] 11:21, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
:if it was a "well known fact" you'd be able to find a link to something on the subject. It's an urban legend. ] 14:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)It is not true. Rumors spread like wild fires. Remember when they said Richard Gere put gerbils up his rectum. This is just one of the many rumors out there. Stevie only snorted cocaine

==Breast Implants, and Chronic Fatigue/Epstein - Barr Syndrome ==


Nicks had breast augmentation surgery in 1976. The silicone implants were, however, to give her problems later in life. Plagued by chronic fatigue and persistent malaise, Nicks believed the implants to have broken, blaming them for her declining health and consulted numerous physicians in order to prove her theory. After several test results proved negative, against medical advice Nicks had the implants surgically removed. It subsequently transpired that the implants had indeed been broken.<sup>1</sup>


Due to the high levels of silicone left in her bloodstream by the implants Nicks spent the next year in and out of hospital, as well as making several visits to acupuncturists and undergoing numerous sessions with cleansing IV drips to remove the toxic silicone from her blood.<sup>2</sup> Reflecting in 2004 Nicks remarked "It was truly awful...I'd advise against having them"<sup>3</sup>

Stupid hatnote

Nobody in the known universe is going to confuse one of the most iconic singers in popular music history with an obscure album track by a barely known band. Reeks of self-promotion. 2A02:C7F:8F1A:F700:53:B8E6:7522:7E49 (talk) 04:11, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Let's reel in the rhetoric a bit.
You don't think we should have the hatnote. That does not make it "stupid".
As a Fleetwood Mac fan for several decades who has seen them in concert several times and Nicks solo once, I'd say "one of the most iconic singers in popular music history" is an exaggeration.
"Self-promotion"? I guess it's possible Jax 0677 created an account in 2008, edited for 4 years, became part of a Texas band in 2012, waited for the band's 6th album 8 years later and decided to use his 12 years of editing Misplaced Pages to back up the weakest possible self-promotion I can think of in 2020. Then again, it's more likely you just disagree with the hatnote.
IMO, per WP:HNR, "Mention other topics and articles only if there is a reasonable possibility of a reader arriving at the article either by mistake or with another topic in mind." It seems unlikely that a non-single and otherwise non-notable track from an album with no singles (does "Entertainment One Music" have A&R reps?) from a weakly notable band, it's unlikely someone came to Misplaced Pages looking for details on the song.
Additionally, the edit warring to remove the hatnote is absurd. The hatnote sat there for a month before an IP decided it was somehow "spam". They were reverted. That would be a good time to discuss the issue. Instead, the IP removed it again. Another good time to discuss the issue... FlightTime reverted again, asking for discussion. Then we got the above, and Escape Orbit removing it again.
Seriously. - SummerPhD 03:38, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
Sorry, I wasn't aware there had been edit warring about this, but I stand by my edit. Very few people are going to come to Misplaced Pages looking for this album track. The album track is not of any significant notability, otherwise it would have an article of its own.
