Gold Dust Woman: The Biography of Stevie Nicks by Stephen Davis

4.0

I've always loved Stevie Nicks voice and Gypsy is somewhere on my top 30 list. I was excited to see this ordered at the library and decided to check it out on audio book and I'm glad I did. This goes into great detail of Stevie's life from birth until last year (2017). There was a lot I didn't know about her and Fleetwood Mac. One being that Lindsay Buckingham was absolute trash...pretty trash but trash nonetheless. He was abusive and liked to talk slick to the media but act scary when confronted and treated Stevie like crap. And Christine did black face sometime in the 70s (there are pics of this on the Internet) so she's on my trash list too. Stevie has been there and done that. I had no idea she married her best friends husband after her friend died. They didn't last long. A lot of Stevie's relationships didn't last long. Some people are just better by themselves. I'm glad she got help with her drug addiction. It was sad to hear Tom Petty's name mentioned so much since he died not long ago. I had no idea Stevie wrote "Don't Come Around Here No More." I liked their working relationship and I can't imagine how hurt Stevie was when he passed. This is a really good biography and it has me listening to some old FM and Stevie and watching a lot of old music videos.
