Stevie Nicks applies for work at an ice skating rink. »
Look, the economy is tough these days, and in light of that, it shouldn’t be surprising that some formerly very high profile celebrities and musicians are applying for work outside of their normal practices. Here, courtesy of McSweeney’s, see what it’s like when former Fleetwood Mac star and cocaine aficionado Stevie Nicks tries to land a job at a skating venue.
“I need to voice just one concern. You can tell me real quick, like ripping off a Band-Aid, but you’re not interviewing Lindsey Buckingham for this position, or he doesn’t already work here or anything, right? I know I wrote the song on Rumours called “I Don’t Want to Know,” but in this case I do want to know. It’s not that I hate Linsdey Buckingham, but, brother, we are going to have a huge problem if I show up and Lindsey Buckingham is here spraying germ sanitizer in all the ice skates or whatever. Mostly, it would just break my heart.”
Brilliance.
