I'm 20 and I couldn't agree more with Stevie Nicks.
At family gatherings my cousins would sit around, texting. It actually kinds of hurts me because I'd like to talk to them and stuff, but who knew every text was so vital to their life. And what goes on is like "hi whats up".. "nm u?". REALLY?!
No one talks to eachother and if you want to get to know somebody, you add them on facebook.... so lame.
I love computers though... but they have changed us forever.
I hate texting and according to my friends...im old fashioned. Im fifteen I see that as a compliment. Stevie raises a valid point and opinion, KEEP ROCKING Queen!
Wats up people. My name is Michael Fynne. I am a Young Talented Unsigned Rapper trying to make a huge name for myself. I'd really appreciate it if you would all just take the time to check out my music here on YouTube. Just Search:
Michael Fynne - Watch Ya Back
Michael Fynne - Our World
Michael Fynne - Thank U, God
Check out more songs on my channel. There will be more songs to come soon (Don't start moaning about me spamming. It's the only way I can get my music out at the moment)
As kids we were told to get our asses outside,don't let any flies in the house and use our imagination so one day me and my good buddy Randy decided to play cowboys and indians. We called a truce while fighting and decided to smoke a peacepipe,we had no tobacco so we used Nestles' Quik chocolate powder and tried lighting it...needless to say we burnt the barn down . I got grounded and wasn't allowed to play with Randy anymore...it's amazing what a 5 year old can do isn't it?
I had the same upbringing. I totally forgot about the "don't let any flies in on your way out!" I almost caught our barn on fire once also. I used to like burning small bits of hay in the haymow. One day it got a little out of hand and the mow started to get full of smoke and dad came rushing up- not a good day for me! Hay goes like gas: very fast and very hot. I was lucky I didn't burn the barn down.Come to think of it, that is probably why kids aren't playing outside anymore! :/
@aaron31967 Hey Aaron... Thanks for responding,I tried staying out of trouble the best that I could during my juvenile delinquent years but it finally caught up with me. I was very intoxicated one particular evening so I decided to steal a car and just drive home,I got into an accident of all things and drove this Ford Pinto into a laundrymat. They didn't have texting back then or else I'd probably be dead altogether,the state of Indiana let me go when I turned 18 however...now I'm in Ohio.
so true about computers, kids are addicted look outside your window after school there is no kids outside. it was different 10 years ago when i was 6 we would be out from 8 am to go school get back at 3 am, take about 50p buy an ice lolly and get back home at sunset before it gets dark and our imagination was so strong we wud probably come up with our own games at home. its a shame kids are so sad today there version of playing out is playing halo. kids have lost their sense of fun and adventure
She is so right. Most people can't stand to be out of touch. I remember when I was a teen. You called your friends at home and left messages no texting. What happened to hand written letters that showed emotion and feelings and love. Social graces are gone because we let it happen we have the choice to listen to what she says and change things. It starts with you and me and spreads. Let's do lunch no phones not interuptions just love and relationships. WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!
One of my fave rock n rolls interview. Steveie Nicks speaks out for several generations. Now don't get me wrong cos I aint that type of guy, but I would love to spend an afternoon with her just chatting face to face and agreeing on everything.
I feel same as her about cell phones. I always tell a friend of mine to turn his phone off when he's with me cuz he's always frighin glued to his phone and it's rude and annoying.
"Ok...so if I'm having lunch with you and I have my phone, and I'm LIKE..." what a perfect example of what Stevie just said. Not only do people such as the interviewer lack manners and social graces, but they lack the ability to speak properly. For goodness' sake, what's next?
Whose idea was it to let this ghetto ass bitch interview legendary rock goddess Stevie Nicks? It's sad that these interviewers have no idea who they are talking to and how lucky they are to be in the presence of true talent and greatness. I'd kill to sit down with Stevie and just talk. "Okay, so if I'm having lunch with you and I have my blac...my phone and I'm like texting" You should be shot. Rant over.
I agree with Stevie about texting, but for people here to agree without about computers and yet your commenting on a freaking youtube video from...wait for it...A COMPUTER...it's a bit hypocritical.
I love Stevie Nicks, apart from being incredibly beautiful she is so full of soul and to hear her talk about the phones and computers is so right. The world is getting crazier every day and computers etc. have ruined so much.
"manners are gone - because all people do is sit around and text"... Wow, amen Stevie Nicks. Yes texting is absolutely obnoxious... thank you for being you Stevie!
"manners are gone - because all people do is sit around and text"... Wow, amen Stevie Nix. Yes texting is absolutely obnoxious... thank you for being you Stevie!
Formula 1 likes the Mac. And I'm old. Always liked Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd Beethoven. I also liked Cheech and Chong they didn't do bad.in the famous pre runner of all chat shows - lets make a dope deal.
im a teen & i definitely agree with her. most of my friends would rather be texting or on Facebook than throwing a football or swimming. they would be inside staring at some screen than being outside getting some fresh air. & social gracies? no kid i know would know what they are.i love nowaday's technology but come on give the phone,computer TV ETC a break once in a while & go outside have some fun
@kimdefleppardfan What a wise person you are! I would imagine your parents deserve some kuddos, as well. I'm 76, but I love my computer and my TV. They can be overused by me, as well. But regarding cell phones, iPhones, Blackberrys, etc.....my 25 year old granddaughter has been texting for several years and I don't like it one bit. And those who are constantly talking loudly into a cell phone in a public place, should be told that others are privy to their most intimate conversations.
Stevie looks better now than she ever looked. She still sings strong and with more emotion. Her view on computers, kids, etiquette are 100% true. You just don't hear people voice it. A previous comment on her about looking and sounding better in her 20s and 30s is crap! She is a class act.
i agree. it's annoying when your talking to someone and their phone goes off they staart taking to someone alse when your in the middle of a sentence.
As someone with a degree in Computer Science I totally agree with her. It's not so much computers but all the crazy gadgets we have to have but you know there was a time when you waited until you arrived home to make those all important phone calls. People used to know how to use actual complete sentences none of this LOL nonsense.
Hello...she's over 60 years old. Of course she looked and sounded better when she was in her 20s,30s,40s. We should be so fortunate to look and sound that good in our 60s. Pretty ridiculous thing to say.
Continued: We would play after school - the whole neighborhood of kids, ride our bikes, baseball, play chase and 'war' - where noone ever got really hurt, knock on doors and run, play on 'tire swings' andyone remember those? Catch lightening bugs and grasshoppers. Start 'clubs' - it was a very active childhood.
@nightskymine ~YA JUST SUMMED UP MY CHILD HOOD, BUT ADD A SWIMMING POOL AND SKATING RINK!! ;) I WAS ALSO A CHILD OF THE 70'S & I LOOK AT MY KIDS & THEIR CHILDHOOD COMPARED TO MINE, AND MAN IT'S LIKE NIGHT AND DAY!! I WOULDN'T GIVE UP MY CHILDHOOD FOR ANY OF THIS TECHNOLOGY CUZ IT WAS WAAYY MORE ACTIVE, CREATIVE, & FUN!!! HAHA & YEP! I REMEMBER TIRE SWINGS! =)~
Stevie is so wise. Because of her I don't have a myspace. If Stevie says they are dangerous - I'm gonna listen to her! And I was lucky enough to be a child of the 70's (I wish I had been a teenager of the 70's).
Stevie Nicks is my idol....I love her...she IS the real deal.......especially after seeing this interview....so down to earth. God Stevie...please keep singing for us fans!
Apparently the 17 people who dislike this video can't live without twittering, texting or gabbing on their cell phone or can't stand to be away from their computer. I guess they were mad because what Stevie said WAS TRUE, AND AT TIMES THE TRUTH HURTS!
I have a cell phone, I have a computer, and I agree with her 100%.
I had the text function of my cell phone blocked because she's right...
It's obnoxious. These days you can give a person a facebook page, a cell phone that does EVERYTHING and they think they're a superstar!
But cell phones and computers can't love.
Cell phones are allowed in my salon, but If you use one while having your hair styled, you will be asked to turn it off. and if you don't like that, you will be asked to leave.
she's right about computers-soon there will be no stores except wal mart because everyone will be shopping online. we would rather sit with our computers than to go outside, like what im doing right now.
Mick Fleetwood: By the early 1980s Fleetwood Mac’s drummer along with his bandmates had sold more than 55 million albums, but Mick filed for bankruptcy in 1984. He says that he blew his millions on real estate, failed business ventures and lots of drugs. By his wn account he spent about 8 million dollars on cocaine alone. By the 90s he had kick his drug habit, and the band’s reunion tour had allow him to be worth 3 million now
and lucky those who grew up before computers had taken over the world. There was a beauty in that. I mean, today it's all we know, but i would have love to have the opportunity to grow up in the 60's and 70's before everything.....
@Clairexxoo What's even worse is standing in line at any type of store, and seeing the check out clerk wait on some two bit idiot talking on their cell phone. I HATE THAT! IT 'S DOWN RIGHT RUDE!
In watching this short clip, what she said is right on the money. I can't disagree whatsoever. I think (and hope) she's going to be around for a long time to come.
Stevie, you are so right on. Technology is killing the social interaction and kid today don't even know how to hold on a conversation properly. I love my updated gaming machine as it allows me to fly virtual aircraft in an extremely realistic environment (Flight Simulator X by Microsoft for those unfamiliar). But, I hate texting as I'd rather verbally express myself and those who text and drive are fuckin' morons. Nuff said.

Such a beautiful heart! How refreshing to listen to a celebrity, or rock star if have you (which she TOTALLY still is) behaving like genuine, caring woman. I was a teenager in the mid to late '80's and I remember just being so totally memerized by her in all of her videos I would have sold my soul to the devil just to be her for one day! Her voice is so unique, there will never be another quite like Stevie Nicks! ;)
You have it correct Stevie. We mostly grew up in Phoenix and as hot as it was, we all went out and played for hours on end. Looking for meteorites in the desert, riding our bikes, going to Superstition Mountain and and having a ball! No T.V., no cell phone, no computer. We had a small transitor radio and we would listen to Wolf Man Jack at night in the beautiful desert under the stars.
@metalplayr1 Oh your one of those people who cruise around the tube trolling comments, judging others because your so great and others should comply with your idea of life.
Guess what, I let women on the bus before me, I give up my seat for pregnant women, I hold doors open for old lady's, I say please, thank-you and take care. I don't pull out my phone and start txting someone else when I'm in the middle of a conversation. 1 swear word doesn't qualify as "cursing like a sailor".
I'll tell you what I DO when I am TRYING to have a conversation and some BOZO decides that taking a call is MORE important than talking to me, I WALK OUT!
Unless you are a DRUG DEALER, or THE PRESIDENT, you can TAKE A MESSAGE or CALL BACK!
PC's have also ruined live music, ever try to get a group of musicians together lately to create a band, good luck, everyones in DREAMLAND, get off the video games and join the REAL WORLD kiddies!
@flamewenthigher i agree with most of what your saying man im a kid who loves to play guitar but its like every other kid is more interested in video games and me playing guitar is weird to them..totally ass backwards
Good Post, Yes Cell phones are obnoxious. You can't have two drinks and legally drive, but you can not watch where you're going because your texting. and yes, Stevies still hot
@Orca40 Oh please you are full of it...shall we count McVie's vs. Nicks songs...you are on the losing end. Like I said its a matter of taste, if you prefer McVie that is your opinion no need to make up bogus claims to backup your "opinion".
She thinks computers are horrible...but I didn't see her turn down the money for the royalties they gained for having their music in the Rock Band video game.
@AlienZygote010 sometimes u have to do things u dont like or hate just make a living..so u do whats necessary..she may hate computers but if using it helps pay the rent so be it..
When I was in the gulf, a friend of mine wrote a letter to Stevie Nicks. To his surprise, she wrote him back. Stevie Nicks is the real deal, and from what she wrote (he showed it to everyone) it seemed as though she derived a lot of fulfillment from writing to a fan. Even though I've never been a huge fan (though I do like her work) the act of writing to a Marine during a difficult time really opened my eyes to why she is so beloved by so many generations of fans. She's no prima donna.
Without question one of the most heartfelt, direct and bluntly honest from-the-heart observations of the world and, most importantly, the youth of the world in recent times.
Though I'm someone who uses technology in numerous ways on a daily basis, I totally agree that it is rapidly eliminating the social graces and ability to communicate with one another on a person-to-person basis.
And, frankly, I find it at least as disturbing as Ms. Nicks...thank you for posting...
Wow, she is so totally right on about people and their phones today. I've got to show this to my best friend. I've tried to tell him before how rude and obnoxious it is but maybe he will take it to heart coming from one of his idols. Thank you Stevie.
I don't know about you, but nobody taught me to turn off/mute my phone when I'm dining, at the bank, dating, at a meeting, in class, at the loo etc. It came to me naturally when I got my first phone more than 12 years ago. Why are people so obsessed with cells anyways. Sure they are useful, but they can be just as annoying as well. Take it with you everywhere, and learn to use the mute function.
@UmbrellaFitzgerald Because she's comparing two people that got famous when they were very young! Come on, you don't have to be exceptionally smart to notice that! She's not comparing their artistic achievements!
thank you for posting this, it just goes to show that were losing ourselves day after day and even sitting behind a screen we forget to stop and think before we speak or in the computer age type. thanks again!
God, i'm really starting to love this woman. i never particularly paid a whole lot of attention........sure, loved Fleetwood back in the day, loved some things she's done
( although i cut my teeth more on the hard Rock Genre, and some other stuff, more than the "Frilly, chick thing". whatever. but have been watching some vids on her lately and......wow. she is really just so well spoken. here, when she says, Computers have fucked up our world, society, people "Texting", i stood up!!
Life is a trip aint it Stevie? You told it just like it is. People are not anything like they use to be. The world is cold and gray now, thanks to technology.. Wasn't it wonderful to grow up in the seventies?
Well said Stevie Nicks. Society has gone soooo high tech, that the old fasioned values of one on one communication with each other has gone out the window. Eye contact and the "personal-ness" of just a simple conversation needs to be embraced. The old childhood events of my day, is just fading ever so swiftly with these new generation kids and there e-toys. Lets bring back the simplicity of good wholesome people, with a good wholesome room to grow.
Some people quite correctly can have a conversation on the phone constantly while having another conversation with ONE person ONLY in front of them, whether that person is Stevie Nicks or anybody else, it is really rude, out of place and lack of manners. How pityfull such world where personal conversations are gone, I am laughing for that lack of decent manner. Why ask any further why people turn to those singers suchas Fleetwood mac?
Not only do I love the bit of a look at why Stevie recorded this particular performance, but I absolutely LOVE her stance about cell phones, and other technologies!
@USAGlobalVideoCorp It's so true, people are forgetting about the importance of face to face interaction. I always joke with my son about the "I" in IPad or Iphone standing for isolation (lol). For this generation, this is all they know and our methods of communication (cell, text, email etc.) distance people while creating the illusion of being "connected". Some social scientists believe this illusion allows the middle class to work more as the rich get richer and enjoy their time off.
Thank GOD, Good Riddens! Bone-heads. US citizens are messed up. Look at the rest of the world, We rehabilitate from drugs, NOT send to prison OR pay 'em for a disability. WTF people!!!!!!!

Apparently the 17 people who dislike this video can't live without twittering, texting or gabbing on their cell phone or can't stand to be away from their computer. I guess they were mad because what Stevie said WAS TRUE, AND AT TIMES THE TRUTH HURTS!

I had the text function of my cell phone blocked because she's right...
It's obnoxious. These days you can give a person a facebook page, a cell phone that does EVERYTHING and they think they're a superstar!
But cell phones and computers can't love.
Cell phones are allowed in my salon, but If you use one while having your hair styled, you will be asked to turn it off. and if you don't like that, you will be asked to leave.

He says that he blew his millions on real estate, failed business ventures and lots of drugs. By his wn account he spent about 8 million dollars on cocaine alone. By the 90s he had kick his drug habit, and the band’s reunion tour had allow him to be worth 3 million now

Stevie, you are so right on. Technology is killing the social interaction and kid today don't even know how to hold on a conversation properly.

But, I hate texting as I'd rather verbally express myself and those who text and drive are fuckin' morons. Nuff said.

You have it correct Stevie. We mostly grew up in Phoenix and as hot as it was, we all went out and played for hours on end. Looking for meteorites in the desert, riding our bikes, going to Superstition Mountain and and having a ball! No T.V., no cell phone, no computer. We had a small transitor radio and we would listen to Wolf Man Jack at night in the beautiful desert under the stars.

When I was in the gulf, a friend of mine wrote a letter to Stevie Nicks. To his surprise, she wrote him back. Stevie Nicks is the real deal, and from what she wrote (he showed it to everyone) it seemed as though she derived a lot of fulfillment from writing to a fan. Even though I've never been a huge fan (though I do like her work) the act of writing to a Marine during a difficult time really opened my eyes to why she is so beloved by so many generations of fans. She's no prima donna.

Without question one of the most heartfelt, direct and bluntly honest from-the-heart observations of the world and, most importantly, the youth of the world in recent times.
Though I'm someone who uses technology in numerous ways on a daily basis, I totally agree that it is rapidly eliminating the social graces and ability to communicate with one another on a person-to-person basis.
And, frankly, I find it at least as disturbing as Ms. Nicks...thank you for posting...

I don't know about you, but nobody taught me to turn off/mute my phone when I'm dining, at the bank, dating, at a meeting, in class, at the loo etc. It came to me naturally when I got my first phone more than 12 years ago. Why are people so obsessed with cells anyways. Sure they are useful, but they can be just as annoying as well. Take it with you everywhere, and learn to use the mute function.

Well said Stevie Nicks. Society has gone soooo high tech, that the old fasioned values of one on one communication with each other has gone out the window. Eye contact and the "personal-ness" of just a simple conversation needs to be embraced. The old childhood events of my day, is just fading ever so swiftly with these new generation kids and there e-toys. Lets bring back the simplicity of good wholesome people, with a good wholesome room to grow.
brandontntbel1 1 year ago
Some people quite correctly can have a conversation on the phone constantly while having another conversation with ONE person ONLY in front of them, whether that person is Stevie Nicks or anybody else, it is really rude, out of place and lack of manners. How pityfull such world where personal conversations are gone, I am laughing for that lack of decent manner. Why ask any further why people turn to those singers suchas Fleetwood mac?

@USAGlobalVideoCorp It's so true, people are forgetting about the importance of face to face interaction. I always joke with my son about the "I" in IPad or Iphone standing for isolation (lol). For this generation, this is all they know and our methods of communication (cell, text, email etc.) distance people while creating the illusion of being "connected". Some social scientists believe this illusion allows the middle class to work more as the rich get richer and enjoy their time off.
