Stevie Nicks has urged musicians to use their platforms as a way to encourage people to go and vote.The rock icon and former Fleetwood Mac member appeared as a guest on MSNBC’s talk show Morning Joe and opened up to Mika Brzezinski about why she thinks her musical colleagues should be encouraging more people to vote.After being asked by Brzezinski “What can others, female rockers, singers, icons, are there any who you can name that can do more at this moment, isn’t this the moment when we should be leaving it all on the stage?,” Nicks responded: “Well you know, if you really think about it, no matter who really wins, it’s not over.

Right, I mean the government, whatever, we have to figure out a way to bring back Roe v. Wade.”"God help us… it's not over." @StevieNicks shares her drive to keep fighting, urging today’s musicians to step up and use their platform to encourage people to vote: "write songs about what's happening, like I did" with 'The Lighthouse' https://t.co/xJieArytHb pic.twitter.com/gMk4Vramz3— Morning Joe (@Morning_Joe) October 30, 2024 She continued: “I mean we all had to pick causes, this the cause I chose but you know what, in the 50s, 60s and going into the 70s, everybody was writing protest songs, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills, so I would say to all of my musical poets that write songs, write some songs about what is happening like I did.
