Stevie Nicks - Stand Back - 1983 Appearence
Details: Rumor number four: You are like the character in "Rhiannon"--a real witch.
Stevie Nicks: What do you think? (laughs) Honestly, I never dabbled in the black arts.
Details: Really? What about you and Prince?
Stevie Nicks: Let me state this here and now: We did not have a sexual relationship--I did not let that happen.
Details: How did you meet?
Stevie Nicks: When we were recording "Stand Back" I decided to be really blatant and call Prince up and tell him that I had been inspired to write the song while listening to "Little Red Corvette." I told him that I figured my song was half his. He came over to the studio where I was recording and listened to it--as I turned extremely white and started to shake. Then he walked over to the piano and put on a really incredible keyboard track. And not only did Prince make it up right on the spot, he played it with only two fingers. Then he left.
Details: Did you see him again?
Stevie Nicks: Yes, when I was on the road a year or so later. I was sick, and Prince brought some cough syrup up to my hotel room. He was sweet--he walked around the room folding things, fluffing pillows, tidying up in general. Then he gave me a spoon of it himself. But when I asked for another spoonful he changed--he said, "I didn't come all the way up here just to get you hooked on another substance!" Then he left.
Details: Do you still see him?
Stevie Nicks: No. I was at the premiere of Purple Rain, and in the scene where he slaps Apollonia I freaked and had to go sit in the bathroom. Afterward I went back to see him, and when he asked why I'd left, I had to tell him, "When you popped Apollonia, it kinda popped my brain." He looked at me like it just killed him. We've never spoken since. (sighs) It’s a shame, really...we were alike in so many ways.
Details: Such as?
Stevie Nicks: Well, for one thing, we both liked wearing black chiffon around the house.
