Stevie is brilliant and has been for years. Saw her in concert several times and was always brought to tears at the end when she does "Has Anyone Ever Written A Song For You?" I live in NYC so we have the night of 100 Stevies which is great fun. A beautiful woman, inside and out.

I really love Stevie's voice. I watched an Awards show a couple of years ago and they had Taylor Swift doing a duet with Stevie and I was embarrassed for Taylor. My roomie and I were wondering what moron came up with this idea?

I love Stevie Nicks but she seemed to have disappeared for a good long while. Her voice was getting ragged, probably from cocaine, & I can only hope she is back stronger than ever because today's music is gar-bahj & we need a little relief from it.

Kerry, "come in out of the darkness..." Stevie has hardly "disappeared." In May of 2011, she released "In Your Dreams," to much critical acclaim - many have said it's her best work since Bella Donna. She did a short tour with Rod Stewart, and then a headlined her own tour. She and Rod are hitting the road again together this summer.

As both my parents used to say, "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything..."...maybe you should remember that when posting trafficstripes.

That "Selection" show won't last (well, maybe on the CW it has a chance), but I like Aimee Teegarden. She's a cutie.
