Q: You’re current track ‘Something on my mind’ started out being called’ Edge of seventeen’ with a Stevie Nicks sample. Where did the idea for the track come from?
A: We heard the track in the film 'School Of Rock' and instantly thought that it was an idea that could work. We got hold of the soundtrack and listened to the song over and over again, it was such an uplifting song yet the subject matter of 'Edge Of Seventeen' was very personal to Stevie Nicks as it was about the death of her uncle and John Lennon. We tried to keep the emotion of the original version, yet add elements that would work on a dancefloor today. We were pleased that clubbers and djs alike felt the version we did.

"On a recent visit with family in Nashville, we [author of the article, Gina Vivinetto] drove past gigantic homes owned by country music greats George Jones, Dolly Parton and honeybuns Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. We saw landmarks, such as the famed Bluebird Cafe where Vince Gill got his start. But the most stirring musical moment of the trip came via the television when my uncle slipped Fleetwood Mac's 1997 live concert disc "The Dance" into the DVD player. The song was "Silver Springs". Aunt Shirley leaned into the TV with a mischievous grin, "Watch this," she told us. "You're not going to believe it." We watched as Stevie Nicks sang lyrics aimed at her ex-lover and bandmate standing beside her, Lindsey Buckingham, all about a new love of his. Then she lowers the boom with a musical curse: "I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you - you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you." Nicks erupts. She turns to Buckingham, screaming: "You'll never get away, never get away!" We paused the DVD, and all exhaled. Wow. How long ago did those two break up? Can you imagine being in a band with someone who broke your heart? Going through that kind of emotion, singing songs about each other? Reliving the agony? Stevie and Lindsey split in 1977, and she still looked furious after 20 years. Why would anyone put themselves through that? Wouldn't you have to be crazy?

American splendor
The Moment: Around 10 p.m. on August 16, 1969, day two of Woodstock, Janis Joplin materialized onstage in full tie-dyed regalia — an armful of bangles, her long loose hair flying in the wind — and mesmerized the audience with her cosmic style.
The Look: Vintage! Obsessed with keeping her style unique, she scoured thrift shops and friends' closets, locating special pieces, customizing them with embroidery and beading and piling on the accessories (she like the jangle of jewelry.)
The Legacy: The gypsy boho look adopted by Janis was seconded by Jimi Hendrix. David Crosby and Neil Young courted the American cowboy variety: buckskins, sideburns and boots. Jim Morrison took it down to the fundamentals — leather pants, snakeskin, heavy belts and black from head to toe — while Grace Slick pioneered early Goth; later Stevie Nicks made witchy-hippie leather and lace mandatory for all style icons of all generations including Amy Lee of Evanescence.

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
I don't know
Well, I've been afraid of changing
but time makes you bolder
even children get older
and I'm getting older, too.
