Stevie Nicks Introduces The Top 10 Tambourine Players Ever To Iraq

FLEETWOOOD Mac’s Stevie Nicks is injured. Before she introduces the Top Ten Tambourine Players Ever, she tells us:

“I strained my right arm doing arm curls, which I never do. I’m trying to get it back so I can comfortably and enjoyably play tambourine.”

Nicks goes on to say that life in the Macs is “like joining the National Guard and being deployed to Iraq for two weeks.”

If not recovered Nicks may be forced to keep the music alive by attaching bells to her ankles and feet, making music wherever she goes.

This may result in dancing, something no trad rocker has tried since Rod Stewart got a scarf caught in his hair in November 1975.

The tambourine is a rare instrument, and only a very few can carry it off with any panache – school children negotiating a stepping stone between triangle and recorder. The tambourine man is Bob Dylan’s tormentor:

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.

…With a gun.
