Singer Steve Nicks is doing her part to support U.S. troops by donating hundreds of iPods to soldiers wounded in Iraq. The former Fleetwood Mac star regularly visits soldiers at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

She explains, "I refuse to be pulled into the politics of war. But once these soldiers sign up, go to war and come back to a hospital, I will do whatever it takes to make them better." Nicks has provided iPods loaded with her music, along with fellow artists Aerosmith and Elvis Presley.

She has also sent baby clothes to war widows, joined bedside vigils and with the United Service Organization (USO), hopes to provide every returning soldier with a music player. She adds, "Any one of them could be my own child. You can't help falling in love with every one of them."

You could be my silver spring....
Blue-green..colors flashin'
I would be your only dream.....
Your shinin' autumn....ocean crashin'....
Don't say that she's pretty....
and did you say that she loves you...?
Baby I don't wanna know.


So I'll begin not to love you...
Turn around, you'll see me runnin'
I'll say I loved you years ago...
And tell myself you never loved me....No......
Don't say that she's pretty....
And did you say that she loves you...?
Baby, I don't wanna know....Oh no.....
And can you tell me...was it worth it....?
Baby, I don't wanna know..


Time cast a spell on you...you won't forget me...
I know I could've loved you but you would not let me....


Time cast a spell on you...but you won't forget me...
(I was such a fool)
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me..
(Give me one more chance)
I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you..
(Haunt you)
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you..

I never took Steve as the type to follow the PC crowd. This confirms it.

Were the iPods loaded with songs with her billy-goat voice?

Obviously you spend a whole lot of time among billy goats to make that statement. Stick with the billy goats, you seem to be an expert on that.

She was hot back when, though.

Still is......hope my wife looks this good at 58.

There was nothing minor about Fleetwood Mac. They're one of the great bands in rock and roll's short history.

So this Knicks woman is as significant in that "short history" as her?

Or her?

P.S. When it comes to knowledge of history you never know whom you'll likely to meet on the Internet!

Damn Mick Fleetwood!

Her name is Stephanie Lynn.

Then she should go by that; I'm sure you can dig the 'Hoollywoodness'. My comments stand. She was "anti-establisment" during my era in the USMC, and needs to do a bit more to redeem herself in my eyes.

My Favorite from back when.

"...bore=gore?
Gore = borg.

What I meant was boar...."

That reminds me of a passage on "House"
House: Skin. Lungs. Lungs. Skin. Sklungs.

"It was a joke. "billy-goat voiced" wasn't used because it is a colorful metaphor, but in reference to an episode of South Park. Next time, think before you jump down other members throats. Thanks."

Let me explain. As a watcher of South Park, I know that everyone else is NOT a watcher of South Park. The chance of someone else getting the nuance of the "billy-goat" comment is about .00001%. Get it? Thus the chance of it being taken as a slam on Ms. Nicks is very high, so don't even start.

[ErnBatavia]

You'd be as skeptical as I, if you were are Vietnam era veteran with any memory bank. "Jefferson Airplane" and any number of such stupidly named groups were the Murthas of the time; they just did the message delivery through their "music", such as it was ( infantile, really )

...She's got a ways to go to show her true heart. But as I said above - good for her; but it's just a start.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I don't recall comparing her or the band to anyone.

But to deny Fleetwood Mac their place in rock history (which, yes, is short) is just silly. They were huge, immensely talented and very influential in their time.

If Stevie Nicks is so irrelevant, what prompted you to click on a thread bearing her name?

[Phibes]

There was an expression that went around during my military stint back in 1978. It was called "Stevie Nicks, sit on my f#ce".

Sorry but this just brought back some memories.

[Earthdweller]

Wow. That pic really takes me back. And to think, I used to wear my hair like that.

If Stevie Nicks is so irrelevant, what prompted you to click on a thread bearing her name?

I was whistling past the graveyard of dead, irrelevant, forgotten million-seller synthetic products of the recording industry, figuring so much in the history of commerce, and much, much less in the history of popular music.

"I refuse to be pulled into the politics of war. But once these soldiers sign up, go to war and come back to a hospital, I will do whatever it takes to make them better."
Even if in private she's a flaming left wing loony, she has enough decency to keep that separate from what goes on in the public eye.

"Were the iPods loaded with songs with her billy-goat voice?"

Funniest episode of South Park ever.
