Just watching "Nightbird" again tonight - I've always been sort of haunted by this song, since 1983... over half my life.... anyway, as I have said here before, this song, and "Gypsy", have taken on a new meaning for me because now they remind me of my mom, as both songs are about Stevie's best friend Robin. I found this quote from Stevie from back then:

"This song does extend from Edge of Seventeen; it's about the difficulties of female rock 'n' roll singers; it's about my friend Robin, it's about death, it's a spirit calling. Wearing boots all summer long is like, always being ready for a flood or avalanche to happen, for the worst to happen. Because when you really look at life, all the money, material things and dreams we all search after could not save one small girl."~Stevie Nicks, On the song, Nightbird/Wild Heart Press Kit, 1983

A-fucking-men, Stevie......

But not to bum you out, I'll leave you with a funny - in this one, Stevie on Solid Gold, there is a part where this dude comes out and dances with her, and I remember this performance so well as a 13 year old, because I spent way too much time fantasizing I was him, dancing on tour in the Stand Back number each night - if you don't have time for the whole video, he comes out at about 2 minutes and 2o seconds or so.... LOLOL, there is a clip of him dancing with her on SNL somewhere, which was even a better performance, I remember, and that's the one I had on tape. Seriously, I feel retarded even somewhat mentioning the depths of my Stevie fixation back then. And even though she was so coked up back then you couldn't figure out what the hell she was trying to say, I pretended I knew... LOLOLOL, I share too much......
