Didn’t pay her much mind until one day I was visiting a wounded soldier in Walter Reed during the Iraq War, and learned that Stevie Nicks had just been there roaming the halls, donating CD players to patients. Props!
Yes... I remember she was doing USO type work in that period. Props indeed!
As I understand, she’d show up at Walter Reed, unannounced, without a big entourage or any press and sit with soldiers at their bedsides and with their families, sometimes for hours, holding their hands, listening to their stories and telling them they would heal and get through this. She’d bring I-pods pre-loaded with all types of music to give out.
