The Wild Heart

(California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day

Fleetwood Mac at ‘MTV Networks UpFront at The Theater’ at Madison Square Garden May 5, 2004 in New York City. 

“I give him [Jimi Hendrix] and Janis Joplin and Grace Slick [of Jefferson Airplane] the three nods. From Grace, I got her kinda slinkiness. Janis was just little with a big attitude with big hair and feathers, and a drop-dead amazing voice. She was really tough but sang like a bird and could really hold that audience in her hand. And Jimi Hendrix, on the other side of that, was completely and utterly humble… So from those three people I got slinky, attitude and humility. Throw in the most directional deployment of scarves and chiffon in music history, “and that was kinda my stage performance,” she says with a shrug. A rock’n’roll icon was born.”
