Stevie: I wanna say one thing, because I have it here and I want to get it out of the way, I don't want to forget to do it before we hang up. I would've thought that you would've written more like me, and now I don't know if you or George wrote this part, but I'm just gonna read you something that makes me think that you would take your formal poems. But also there's a line in this that's one of the reasons that I totally fell in love with your lyrics, because… Anyway, I'm just gonna read this to you, okay? So it says, ​"She's inducing sleep to avoid pain/​And I think she's got a gun /​Divinely decreed and custom made /​She calls on the phone like the old days, expecting the world /​Don't fall in love with the moment and think you're in love with the girl". I think that ​"Don't fall in love with the moment and think you're in love with the girl," first of all, that's just like my life, right? Matty: Yeah, right? Stevie: That made me… The way that these words are, I would think that you actually started with words and that you didn't start with music. Between you and George, and I don't know where you begin and he ends because you know, I understand that symbiotic thing that you guys have. Unless you tell them, nobody's ever gonna know, but the fact is that your lyrics are – and I don't even wanna say lyrics, your poetry is like, so good and so seductive and so intriguing. I mean there's all kinds of great sexy words I could use, but it's like… I just love it.

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
Well, I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
I'll follow you down
'Til the sound of my voice will haunt you

ah yes the female experience.
listening to music about feelings you have never felt to distract yourself from the feelings you can't get rid of.

Q. How many pairs of platform boots do you think you have?
A. About 25 pairs. I have them in rose pink and gray blue and mauve. I have three or four or five pairs I wear every night.

"And I'll tell you why I want to talk about your music, because you haven't been around making music since 1975 – I have. Lindsey and I joined Fleetwood Mac on the first day of 1975. The first day. So when I first heard about your band, it was because I heard a song called Chocolate, and I said ​'Who's that?' Somebody said, well I'm not sure, and I said, ​'Well, find out.' And so I then became aware of who you were and who The 1975 was, and I just thought it was so interesting that The 1975 would be such an important year in my life, because I seriously went from being a cleaning lady slash waitress with three waitress jobs, and really having next to nothing. Because once I pulled out of school and moved to Los Angeles with Lindsey, my parents said, well, we very much support you but we are withdrawing all financial support. And I was like, well okay, I get it, and you told me that years ago, that you loved my music etc etc, but you wouldn't stay in the money game if I quit school before I was done – and I had six months to go before I graduated from college. And I said, ​'I know mom. I accept that and don't worry, I'm gonna make you proud of me.' I was so sure that it was okay to pack up and move to Los Angeles from San Francisco in 1971, and then it took until the first day of 1975 to go through Buckingham Nicks and then find our way into Fleetwood Mac. So just the name of your band is so important to me, that when I heard this song Chocolate – and, of course, do I love chocolate? I love chocolate. And I thought, well this band's gotta be important to me, somehow it's winding its way into my heart and I haven't even heard anything but one song. So chocolate mixed with 1975, I thought I have a real connection with these people and they don't even know it."
May 5, 2020: Stevie Nicks explains why the name of Matty's band, The 1975, struck a sentimental chord when she first heard their song 'Chocolate', and why that year holds personal meaning for her. (source)

Happy birthday, Janis Joplin! 💙 (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970)
Quotes by artists influenced by Janis' legacy below:
"Janis put herself out there completely, and her voice was not only strong and soulful, it was painfully and beautifully real. She sang in the great tradition of the rhythm & blues singers that were her heroes, but she brought her own dangerous, sexy rock & roll edge to every single song. She really gave you a piece of her heart. And that inspired me to find my own voice and my own style." - Stevie Nicks "I think she allowed women to have their pain. Her thing was so borne from her pain. Her amazing talent was because of the pain she had...I think she was so misunderstood, and she was so intelligent, emotionally intelligent, and what came out of her was almost beyond what her physical body could even do as a singer, and what she was putting across." - Nancy Wilson (of Heart) on Janis "That’s really how I learned [to sing], and I was already listening to the greats like Janis Joplin, who I loved to death, and who was one of the greatest rock singers ever..." - Rob Halford (of Judas Priest) "I never knew Janis, I never saw her or heard her voice live, I never witnessed the fireball of fury that she unleashed onstage, but I think I understand. When a soul can look on the world, and see and feel the pain and loneliness, and can reach deep down inside, and find a voice to sing of it, a soul can heal. And hers did." - Melissa Etheridge "I saw Janis Joplin when I was 15. I heard her sing, and I couldn’t believe she was smoking on stage, she was drinking Southern Comfort, and she sang like no other. She could sing a song entitled, 'Take A Little Piece of My Heart' and deliver it so beautifully, amazingly." - Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith) "She was such a huge influence on me. Because she was so different to any other female vocalist of the time. I was used to Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield and those sort of singers, who were great, but Joplin was unique. She was not a pop star, but really belted out those songs. There was so much emotion in something like 'Move Over.'" - Enid Williams (of Girlschool) "You listen to a Janis Joplin record and she just puts — she wears everything on her sleeve, whether she's completely drugged up, it's on her sleeve. If she's totally just passionately screaming at the top of her lungs, it's on her sleeve. You feel like whatever she's talking about and whatever she's singing about, she sang it with no cares, no second thoughts, no looking back. She didn't say, 'You know what, let's take that take again.' She sang it and she sang it with every bone in her body, and that was that." - Alicia Keys

Countdown to Coven of Chaos: Day 586
Wanda: “Where’s Agatha? She said we would watch a scary movie to celebrate Friday the 13th”
Y/N: “Maybe she got caught up with a ghost! Or a ghoul? Or a banshee shrieking about tragedy soon to come?! IS IT HER MOTHER???”
Wanda: “Sweetie, I think you’re getting too wrapped up in the spirit of the night. She’s probably just-“
Agatha, leaping from the shadows: “-LAMENTING EVANORA’S REVENGE”
Wanda and Y/N: *shrieking in terror*
Agatha: “Oooo did I scare ya?? I must have gotten you GOOD”
Wanda: “Agatha?! Why-“
Y/N: “-let me handle this one Wands.” *walks up to Agatha and leans in real close* “if you step outta line one more time Harkness, I will scratch your Stevie Nicks vinyl”
Agatha: “NO”
