Stevie Nicks reveals her biggest voting “regret” after supporting Kamala Harris

Stevie Nicks reveals her biggest voting “regret” after supporting Kamala Harris

It’s never too late to go to the voting booth.

During the recent MSNBC interview, Steve Nicks admitted her biggest “regret” was not exercising her right to vote until she was 70 and urged others not to make the same mistake.

“I never voted until I was 70, but now I regret it,” the Fleetwood Mac rocker said.

“I’ve been telling everyone this on stage for the last two years… I regret it,” she continued. “And I don’t have many regrets.”

Nix, 76, noted that it is easy to come up with “so many reasons” to stay home, but they are rarely justified.

“You might say, ‘Oh, I didn’t have time. I was this and that.” After all, you didn’t have an hour? You didn’t have an hour to go and vote?” she asked.

The “Landslide” singer agreed that if you’re “going to vote in an election,” “let it be this election.”

On Election Day, Nix plans proudly voted for Kamala Harrisexplaining that her choice came down to one specific issue: abortion.

“We have to find a way to bring back Roe v. Wade,” she said. “We all had to choose reasons, and I chose this reason.”

Speaking about his new single, which is inspired by the fight for reproductive rights, “Lighthouse”, Nicks encouraged viewers to really “read the lyrics, listen to the song and vote no matter what.”

“I think I fully support her, calling her a beacon,” she told the publication. “…She is our great hope for saving the world.”

Despite the current political instability, Nix said she is “very optimistic” about the election and has “great respect” for Harris.

Regardless of the election outcome, Nix told MSNBC that the fight for reproductive rights “isn’t over yet.”

“Whoever wins (the election), the lighthouse should continue to shine its light and also keep ships from crashing into the rocks,” the Grammy Award winner said.

“I believe that a lighthouse is a protector, protecting all approaching boats and ships.”

Nix noted that musicians have the power to create change through art, which has brought people together for decades.

“In the late 50s, 60s and early 70s, everyone was writing protest songs—Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills—there were lots and lots and lots of them,” she said.

“I would tell all my music poets who write songs to write some songs about what’s going on, like I did.”
