Could Stevie Nicks pen some of the music for the HBO drama “Game of Thrones”?

In a recent interview with Radio Times, Nicks said she’d be interested in helping out with the fantasy series.

“I would love to write some music for the show,” she said. “I’ve written a bunch of poetry about it — one for each of the characters.”

Nicks also revealed some personal favorite characters on the show.

“Khaleesi [Daenerys Targaryen] is my new favorite heroine,” she said. “And Cersei is fantastic… And you know who else is mean?...  the one that’s going to marry [Joffrey], Margaery. She is just such a great evil person. And she thinks she is going to be able to handle him. And then you have Brienne of Tarth – I love her.”

Nicks is no stranger to television, having recently guest-starred on the FX drama “American Horror Story” and having appeared on the NBC sitcom “Up All Night” in 2012.

Because she had visited the set of “Glee,” co-created, like “Horror,” by Ryan Murphy, and felt close to the cast and crew, she said she couldn’t turn it down when she was asked to appear on “Horror.”

“I couldn't say no,” she told Rolling Stone. “I could say, 'I'm not an actress, so it's going to [be bad] – but I will be glad to try, for you.”

Nicks is a member of the band Fleetwood Mac and has also released solo work, including the well-reviewed 2011 album “In Your Dreams.” Fleetwood Mac toured this fall after releasing the EP “Extended Play” this past April. In addition, it was recently announced that former member Christine McVie will be rejoining the group. The group’s publicist Liz Rosenberg said they “are hoping to make an announcement about a possible tour… some time in 2014.”

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
