Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham Working on Special Song for American Horror Story
'American Horror Story': Ryan Murphy talks the latest episode 'Boy Parts' and Stevie Nicks' influence on 'Coven'
The second episode of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s American Horror Story: Coven was chock-full of plot developments, including the resurrection of seemingly dead Misty (Lily Rabe) and Kyle (Evan Peters) and the reveal that modern-day Marie Laveau (Angela Bassett) has kept alive her minotaur lover! EW talked to Murphy about all the twists and turns as well as a preview of next week’s AHS: Coven.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I love that Misty is a big Stevie Nicks groupie.
RYAN MURPHY: She is obsessed with Stevie Nicks because I am obsessed with Stevie Nicks.
You actually asked Stevie to use her music on the show, right?
Yeah, the whole thing started with the fact that when I was growing up, I was always obsessed with those Stevie Nicks songs like “Riannon” and “Gypsy.” And I remember reading an article where Courtney Love called Stevie Nicks the “white witch” and Grace Slick the “dark witch.” And I have a good relationship with Stevie because of Glee. She is one of the few artists that have come to hang out. She had been writing Lea [Michele] and I regularly since the Cory [Monteith] situation, because she really loved Cory [who passed away in July]. So she’s just a wonderful, wonderful person.
When we got to this witch idea, I thought, if you’re Misty and you have grown up alone and you don’t know any other witches, there’s one witch you probably would know and that’s Stevie Nicks. So I called Stevie Nicks and first I said, “I want to use you in the show.” But she was very resistant because from the beginning of her career people who are in the Wiccan community had given her a hard time thinking she was a witch and she got a lot of scary fan letters. She didn’t like the darkness of that, and I explained to her the part and she’s like, “Aw f—, let’s just do it. OK, I love it.” She’s not a witch, but she has an attraction to those mystical creatures because they’re fun to write about. So she gave me the rights to her music and she and Lindsey Buckingham are working on a special sort of redo of a song they did about a witch.

More than just pop nostalgia
(google translated)
Visibly aged, graying in honor, but on stage is still an event: Fleetwood Mac, the legendary band around singer Stevie Nicks, an energetic show has in their third concert in Germany on Wednesday evening delivered in Berlin. "Go Your Own Way" or "Do not Stop" unforgettable hits from the classic album "Rumours" (1977), formed the backbone of the two and a half hour concert in the nearly sold-out O2 World Ostbahnhof. But with newer songs Founded in 1967, the British-American quartet also proved that Fleetwood Mac are not only neat pop nostalgia. Besides frontwoman Nicks founding member Mick Fleetwood were on drums, bassist John McVie and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham on stage.

American Horror Story’s Lily Rabe on the Stevie Nicks Shoutout and Her Own Obsession With Her
As a result, both Stevie, Fleetwood Mac and Edge of Seventeen were trending on Twitter in the USA for a short while tonight.
Lily Rabe on the Stevie Nicks Shoutout and Her Own Obsession With the Singer
By Denise Martin
After being burned alive in last week’s premiere of American Horror Story, Misty Day returned tonight as the hippie witch with the power to bring back the dead. She also excels at keeping her neighboring alligators fed. But what she really loves is Stevie Nicks. (I think we all died a little when young Zoe asked if Stevie was the winner of American Idol, yes?) With FrankenKyle left in the care of mystical Misty, one can only wonder: Will he dig “Rhiannon” as much as Misty? Vulture spoke with the wonderful, if especially spoiler-averse, Lily Rabe about all things Stevie and Misty’s mysterious life in the New Orleans swamp.
What did Ryan Murphy tell you about Misty before you started shooting?
I knew Misty would be burned at the stake in the first episode and that I’d immediately be back. But the big thing he told me was that she is obsessed with Stevie Nicks. That’s been a major part of figuring her out, post burning. The wardrobe, the hair, it’s all very Stevie-centric.
How does one approach playing someone with a Stevie Nicks obsession?

FM rock fan, I had to attend the new date after missing the previous passage of Fleetwood Mac at the Zenith. The surprise was that more than learning that Fleetwood Mac would occur at Bercy. Their eponymous album Rumours prances in the Top 10 best-selling albums in the world (45 million albums!). Established in 1967 as a combo of blues style by Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Peter Green, the group is transformed with the arrival of Lindsey Buckingham and his beloved Steve Nicks. As the story Steve Nicks during a long introduction, it is thanks to the insistence of her companion she joined the group in 1975.
