For @menace2-sobriety: Stevie with books and/or reading.

There aren’t very many pics of her with books, so I included magazines, sheet music, lyrics, etc.

Here are some self taken photos by Stevie. I'm guessing these photos were taken between 1985-86? Possibly 84'.

Stevie Nicks ~ All These Years RAL Demo

This is a demo of Stevie's from Rock A Little, it was from 1984. Stevie wrote this song in honor of her best friend, Robin Anderson who died of leukemia in 1981 just as Stevie was releasing her debut album, Bella Donna. In 1983, Stevie married Robin's husband, Kim for a few months, this song also mentions Matthew, Robin and Kim's son, whom Stevie was a brief stepmother to. Rock A Little started out as a project called Mirror, Mirror. But it was scrapped. I think this song should've been on Rock A Little as it really tells a story, a very sad story. What do you guys think? I also feel this song should be released on a 24 Karat Gold Volume 2. There were also other songs from the RAL sessions that tell stories. Songs like 'Night Gallery', 'Ooh Ooh Baby', 'Chanel, Chanel', 'I Call You Missing', 'Jimmy, Come On Back', 'Running Through the Garden', 'She Loves Him Still', 'Reconsider Me', 'Mirror, Mirror', 'Love is Like A River', 'Mabel Normand', 'What Has Rock and Roll Ever Done For You?', 'Priest of Nothing', 'Are You Mine?', 'It's Not A Dream', 'Something Exquisite', 'Gypsy Beggars', 'You Like Me'. Nicks also did a cover of Olivia Newton-John's 'Tied Up (In Promises), which she demoed for Rock A Little. 'I Call You Missing' was demoed for Nicks' 1994 fifth studio album, Street Angel, but was left off the track listing. 'Running Through the Garden' was released in 2003 on Fleetwood Mac's 'Say You Will' album. 'You Like Me' was recorded by the Williams Brothers in the late 80s, they gave Stevie 'Some Become Strangers' for her Rock A Little album. The songs, Mabel Normand and She Loves Him Still were released in 2014 on Stevie's eighth studio album '24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault'. 'Love is Like A River' was released on Nicks' Street Angel album. 'Reconsider Me' was a duet with Don Henley. It was intended for Rock A Little, but Nicks' left it off the album, it was released in 1998 on Nicks' 3-disc boxset 'Enchanted'. Mirror, Mirror was tried out again for Nicks' 1989 fourth album 'The Other Side of the Mirror', but was left off, Nicks' recorded a final version of the song in 1992, she wanted it as the b-side to her 1994 single from Street Angel, Blue Denim, her producer accidentally grabbed the wrong master tape and ended up putting the RAL demo version of song as the b-side to Blue Denim. Another song that was demoed for Rock A Little, 'Thousand Days' ended up as the b-side to Nicks' 1994 single, Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind. 'What Has Rock and Roll Ever Done For You?' was released in 2023 as a duet with Dolly Parton on her 49th album, Rockstar. An entire album of Dolly doing rock songs. It was the ninth track on the album. So what do you think, do you think these songs need to be released on a deluxe edition of Rock A Little or a 24 Karat Gold Volume 2? I hope this song especially gets released. 'All These Years' would be a great tribute to Robin, I feel it could also serve as a tribute to Christine McVie.

“Chanel, Chanel” is a great demo from the Rock A Little sessions - 1984.

Lady traveler Leave the room the way it was When they fall And they can’t stand up in the darkness

Now you know Now it’s for real And it’s not for sale To answer why it is you feel the same way No matter what it was Just as you thought Whichever way it was The only way, no time to stop No love(?) No out-of-the-way time …

I thought that there was a connection

I didn’t know why he didn’t understand

There she goes again, she wants her freedom

But I’m almost there, and I think it’s right
