Fleetwood Mac legend, Stevie Nicks, performed her new song, "The Lighthouse" on last night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Watch the performance below:
Nicks discussed her women’s-rights anthem "The Lighthouse”, which she wrote following the demise of Roe v. Wade, in an extensive interview with Rolling Stone.
Said Stevie: "When Roe v. Wade was banished, I turned on Morning Joe and I swear to God, I thought Mika [Brzezinski] was going to crawl over the desk. What she did was remind me what a loss this was. Because I can remember being so happy when it came into being in 1973. It was like we were safe.
"It’s not just about not being careful and having an abortion. It’s everything. It’s all the health care. It’s an ectopic pregnancy. It’s all the procedures that need to be done in our bodies that half of us don’t ever have and half of us have a whole lot more than other people. I was just really freaked out after I saw [the news], and that was the inspiration for this song.
"I wrote the words in the morning. I never write in the morning, and I hadn’t even had a cup of coffee. But I just wrote the whole thing. Then I closed the book and went back to sleep. It sounds like Marvin Gaye walking down a seedy alley and singing about life, and he runs into Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters when he turns the corner. That’s how I hear it."
