How are you different from every other ledgie?
What what thing about your Fleetwood Mackiness do you believe makes you different from every other ledgie?
In my case, I would say that my disturbing yet all-encompassing love of "The Derelict" (that's off the "Penguin" album for those of you who haven't a clue) by short-termer Dave Walker is what sets me apart from every other ledgie who ever lived. So what is it in your case? |
I have an obnoxious personality.
Street Angel is my favorite album. |
that's a good question. I'll have to think about it, unless someone has some ideas.
I have OCD. I think it's safe to say I'm the only one, or one of the only ones, who defend Stevie no matter what and I don't hate anything she's ever said, done, sang, written, worn, etc. I may not like it as much as other things, but nothing I don't like. :o |

EDIT: To answer for myself (though I know there are at least a few others here who feel this way as well): I could give two ****s about the soap opera or "personal" aspects of the band and its music. I don't care about any of their personal relationships, I don't care how Lindsey and Stevie feel about each other (or whether they were getting together on whatever tour), and I think the question "What real-life person or event did Stevie/Lindsey/Christine write this song about?" is stupid and meaningless and rarely anywhere close to the point. None of that has even the slightest thing to do with why I listen to Fleetwood Mac, and the endless "theories" about all of that kind of crap drives me up the wall. (And, I will admit, I think obsessing over all those sorts of things is a poor way to go about listening to and appreciating music. Any music, not just Fleetwood Mac's.) |
I never saw Stevie until way after I fell in love. Never ever.

Me either.

Not sure what makes me different from other Ledgies. I guess, what I just said and also I'm a Lindsey fan first and foremost and prefer just to see him in concert from now on and never see FM again, but that will NEVER happen. :( Not sure how many Ledgies love and adore Danny Kirwan. I would be one of those. :) |
Umm...
I think Mirage is a pretty good album (except for Empire State) and I listen to it a lot. I'd go as far as to say that it's better than Tango (ducking now) I'm fascinated by the BN history, but I'm not a 'shipper who thinks that Lindsey and Stevie are secretly married or anything. I think When I See You Again is haunting (It wouldn't be if Lindsey didn't come in at the end). I enjoy live versions of Gypsy Can't think of anything else. On a non-Mac topic, I'm 17 and don't live with either of my parents. |
I was a fan BEFORE the band was formed (meaning, I was a Peter Green fan before he formed Fleetwood Mac)
I think the Rumours album was a travesty for the band..the album, the phenomenon, the "soap opera". I think BOTH Lindsey & Steve should've quit at the end of the Tusk tour. I think The Dance album & tour was the worst thing that Fleetwood Mac could've done at that point in their history. It basically killed the band. Quote:

I think "When You Say" is a great song - I must be fairly unique in that :laugh:
I too couldn't care less about the Stevie/Lindsey situation - to me they both have to continually justify their places in the band - as long as they keep doing that (just) then they're OK with me. I also think Jeremy Spencer is greatly underrated - hey, I actually know who he is, which sets me apart from some Ledgies :rolleyes: |
I'm different............
When ChiliD says ridiculous things like "The Dance killed the band"...I laugh, instead of being apalled like most Ledgies. I actually play guitar LIKE Lindsey. My first introduction to guitar was fingerstyle so it just progressed into electric playing when I discovered Fleetwood Mac. BoBo and I went round and round with this one. I think most of the musicians on here that play guitar use picks. I secretly think anything thats been released after The Dance is no longer classic Mac, or really Fleetwood Mac at all. (whoops...how do I tell them that because of the unfreezing process I have no inner monologue. I hope I didnt say that out loud just now...) |

Yes, those rock gods we follow and sometimes worship are really just humans with the same pretensions and failings as everyone else. |

He's just trying to break through the monolith. A lot of us do that in our own ways: I do that by acting goofy & throwing out all my Fleetwood Mac memorabilia. Others do that by leaving the Ledge or committing suicide. Still others do that by committing crimes, such as kidnapping, assault, & putting kosher dill pickles on a Caesar salad. |

Okay.... Hmm, let me see. I've shaken Peter Green's hand. If you think that's no big deal, just ask him.. :) I pushed Lindsey out of the way to play his guitar in London :shocked: and if that wasn't bad enough made him miss his cue on "Come" in Manchester.. :eek: I started by liking the Buckingham Nicks line up but I'm now firmly in the Peter Green camp. Not many can say that! |
In high school in 1988, I wore a string around the collar of my shirts because that is what Christine wore in one of the pics in her 1984 solo album (that I discovered in 87-88). :o
