POV

This article reads like a fan page or a press release.--12.162.189.80 19:42, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone might want to add to the pop culture section. There was a punk song with the lyrics "sit on my face, Stevie Nicks" which might be worth mentioning. I don't have time to look it up right now. I was using this page to teach me how to do music tables for another project I was working on. --Kit 20:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

FWIW, The Rotters was a band from Ventura County, CA...

Spam link

I removed a link to a site selling "Stevie Nicks style" clothes and jewelry (enchantedmirror . com), since it obviously did not belong per WP:EL. Several anonymous IP addresses have been trying to add it back without discussion, so please remove it if it is re-added. Wmahan. 19:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Voice

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

Let's not. --Soetermans 18:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Blindness

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.  ProhibitOnions  20:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I didn't think Misplaced Pages was in the business of debunking myths, but if you feel so strongly about it, go ahead and add it to the article. --HughL / •  05:42, 27 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.  ProhibitOnions  07:37, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Betty Ford twice?

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. 207.200.116.10 06:26, 2 October 2006 (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. --71.105.109.214 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.

James Brown Sux Reference

New to this, but there is a reference at the bottom of the article "James Brown Sux.....". Not sure how to edit this out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jeric39 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

Is this album 'missing'

Hello...I'm not a Nicks fan so I'll leave it to those 'that know' to deal with this...

ArtistDirect.com (which I find comprehensive) has the followinig album listed but is isn't in the Wiki page:

http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,202122,00.html?src=search

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. Gunis del 06:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

On the last paragraph of "Personal Life", someone put that they didn't like and stupid stuff! Misplaced Pages is not a personal journal for your opinion thoughts like that, it's considered vandalism, please do not that again. (Trampton 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. Hermangelmet 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. Thedarxide 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.

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. Reflecting in 2004 Nicks remarked "It was truly awful...I'd advise against having them"

Stand Back EP and iTunes

I recently found out that a "Stand Back EP" has been released onto iTunes. Does anybody think that should be mentioned or should that be left out for now? 24.58.27.202 00:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
