On this day 50 years ago “two kids who came down from Northern California and tried to make something happen” named Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks released an album called “Buckingham Nicks”
Gold & Braid: “about Lindsey wanting more from me in our relationship…Professionally, everyone always wanted me to be their idea of what I should be. I’d flat out look at people & say, ‘you know I’m not going to do what you want, so why do you bother?’” Happy Bella Donna day!
Stevie talking about “Kind of Woman” Happy Bella Donna day!

As the Buckingham Nicks 50th anniversary year comes to a close, a look back on Lindsey and Stevie’s attempt to talk to each other through a Rolling Stone writer about 40th anniversary plans, published on this day in 2012
On this day in 2003: Fleetwood Mac played an AHI Benefit show in Phoenix. Stevie dedicated Landslide to her dad and Silver Springs to her mom
“After we started, Lindsey and I began to realize that this is why we came here in the first place. So really it’s a long way to go to come around to the beginning.” “Yes, it’s all been an elaborate waiting game.”
The ~spectre of Stevie~ should never be underestimated
“You have a wife and 3 kids. There’s nothing going on between you and me except that there will always be something going on between you and me. Until the day we die.” Audio from Stevie’s interview on BBC Radio that aired 10 years ago today
And if you go forward I’ll meet you there
10 years ago in Stuttgart "I did, I loved you with all my heart, didn't I?" "Yes, you did." "And you loved me too." "And I did. And that’s why we went together into Fleetwood Mac.” “That’s right.” 🎥 nukacolatruck
“Destiny could have taken us another way, but destiny did not take us that way. Destiny took us straight into Fleetwood Mac, so I feel that is what was supposed to happen.”
50 years ago today, as the story goes, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks officially joined Fleetwood Mac as a package deal, and the rest - the drama, the love, the amazing music, and a legacy that continues on after the end of the band - is history.

10 years ago in Las Vegas “So as we move into a new year, a new, perhaps, way of thinking, a new set of possibilities, I’m going to dedicate this song to this beautiful lady that I’ve known since I was about 16 years old… so this is for Stevie. This is called Say Goodbye.”
