There's a line in "I Sing For the Things" when Stevie Nicks rasps, "I'll take off my cape for you." I've heard it hundreds of times, probably, but I've never actually thought about it until just now, when I heard it - in the sense that I noticed it and comprehended it - for the first time.

I thought something like, "I'll take off my cape for you?" What the hell kind of sexual innuendo is that? Is this woman for real? Somewhat surprisingly, I've concluded that yes, Stevie Nicks is for real. Eccentric, maybe, but real.

It almost makes me want to be her. I mean, there's actually a woman somewhere in this world wandering around in a cape, thinking nothing of it, at this very moment. I guess it's just another reason to adore her. (Secondary, of course, to her awesome/melancholy voice and her amazing use of imagery.)

So...how do you think one would go about peeing in some of those getups?
