to the gypsy…

when i was a little girl, i used to dress up in my mom’s long skirts and scarves in my long hair and jangley jewelry and spin round and round.  i pretended i was stevie nicks.  that may sound like a strange aspiration for a little girl, but to me it made perfect sense.  i grew up in a house where all kinds of music was not just played, but revered. young stevie on my mom’s album covers and tapes fascinated me.  she was beautiful and witchy and ethereal and creative free spirit. and that magical voice. haunting and powerful, sweet and fragile. as i got older, i saw her in different terms, deeply emotional and troubled and flawed, but a survivor who wrote it all down.

happy birthday to my very own rock goddess.  when i was a little girl i wanted to be stevie nicks and i still do.

“Important: do not trust people who call themselves musicians or record collectors who say that they don’t like Bob Dylan or The Beatles. They do not love music if those words come out of their mouths. They love record sleeves and getting attention for their hobby, but they don’t love music.” - Jack White
