Stevie Nicks Reveals Fleetwood Mac's 'Paid the Same' Policy

The singer, who joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975, said she and fellow bandmate, Christine McVie, did not experience much sexual harassment over the course of their meteoric careers.

"I think I've been very lucky," she said. "And maybe it's because when I joined Fleetwood Mac, Christine and I made a pact. We said we will never ever be treated like a second class citizen amongst our peers as we get more famous and more famous -- and if we're in a room with famous rock n' roll stars that are men and they treat us that way, we will scream at them and then we'll walk out."

"We've been a force of nature our entire career, so nobody has dared to step over that line to Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks," she continued. "I'm such a raging monster when I'm angry that it would have never worked, so I'm really glad I never had to run into that."

As for the ongoing conversations about pay disparities between men and women in entertainment and across industries, Nicks said she's in full support of those calling for pay equity.

"Fleetwood Mac has two women and we all get paid the same," She said. "And if we didn't, Christine and I would be walking out the door."

“He beat her”

Doesn’t that (undocumented supposition) kinda contradict the basis of this whole article? Or is beating different from harassment?

Downloads for Landslide for Star Trek. It’s wrapped in a
ZIP file which a lot of systems will automatically open. Just delete it when you’ve watched, if you want. Any problems, just ask. Before last March, all of my videos were ONLY available thru download on my site.

MP2 - larger but better quality than what I post on YouTube

MP4 - smaller and lower quality than the mp4s I post on YouTube

"Nicks is a Luciferian. She is lost...... Alison’s faith is real by all accounts. She’s the polar opposite of Nicks."

I attended church with Alison Krauss. She is the real deal. Very humble and unassuming.

My friend did hospitality for all the back stage stuff at a major venue. She said Nicks is a witch. At one point she watched Nicks attack another woman and literally try to choke her to death. She was pulled off.

I’ve hated Fleetwood Mac since the day that whiny cocaine soaked b**** joined the band.

I was answering another comment about the relationship between Lindsey and Stevie, not answering the article.

Wife told me she was supposed to star in “North by Northwest” but Prince Rainier refused to let her. Guess he knew about her predilections for screwing everyone.

I and millions love AK. As is said, Allison could sing the pages from a phonebook and make it sound like music from Heaven.

As a young man, I saw her when she was a teenager at a Bluegrass festival in Culpepper, Virginia. There were so many talented players that had appeared before her.

When she came on stage, she was new, unknown and not attractive, pudgy, hair looking matty, acne on her face. Many in the audience stood up to leave for a break as there was high profile talent scheduled to come on in the later sessions and Alison looked like she would be second rate .... UNTIL she began to sing. Everyone sat right back down and marveled at a true golden voice that is like one in a billion. People there knew this seemingly second-rate nobody was going to be a star. To say she had a gift would be an understatement.

Today she is beautiful inside and out, and unsurprisingly she is now an international star.

It’s always an inspiration to see someone rise to that level of stardom based on true genuine talent, and at the same time, remain humble and respectful. She has never let stardom go to her head.

A search found this little snip:
In Grace’s case her passionate nature went against the Fifties notion that good girls didn’t until they got married. Grace, however, did and often. It was this contrast that fascinated filmmakers including Hitchcock. By this time Kelly was clearly far from innocent.

Given her extraordinary beauty , she was rarely without suitors. Quite how far she indulged might never be known, though there is ample evidence to suggest that Spoto is being economical with the truth.

I would have had no choice but to conduct a thorough investigation of these claims had I been around back then. I’m sure my findings would have been shocking!
