John, I fully respect the fact that you love the new band lineup, and I will never tell you how to feel.
I don’t like the new lineup, and I am still crushed that Lindsey was fired.

What I am tired of, is people telling me that I’m SUPPOSE to like it, to GET OVER IT, MOVE ON, that I’m a big baby for not liking it.

I see that as bullying.

I’m on a FM chat site, talking about FM things, with others that feel the same way, and some that don’t. So if you don’t like what you are reading, move on. That’s what I do on the threads that gush about the new lineup.

I agree with you. I hope you don't see what JohnL said as bullying. He wasn't name calling or telling people how they should feel, so I think you two are definitely on the same page.

The new line up belongs in Chase Bank, because money is the only reason for it.

lol i know, right?

oh well. you can never please everyone. if people don't like the info provided, they can always not read it.

there were social media posts about Lindsey dedicating a song to Stevie at his show this week. you could not even imagine hateful comments on that. it's like - seriously? nice gestures are being hated and disparaged, especially in FM fan world.

hated by LB fans? SN fans? both?? :eek::distress:

hated by overzealous SN fans. comments like "move on!" "why is he talking about her?" and then general hateful comments from that specific bunch that we see about him everywhere since april. very bizarre.

Richard Dashut
 

Richard is posting stories from his years in the recording business and his time with Fleetwood mac.

He is posting it them on his Facebook page.

He just posted a good story about forgetting Mick in a hotel room before a gig.

He was doing the same, maybe 3 years ago. Then he seemingly got upset over something, and stopped completely(we were speculating at the time, that the band asked him to stop- because it was right after he was backstage at a show). I think he's a very sensitive guy, and gets hurt or offended very easily.

I bet that was a good story. But not as good as Stevie taking micro-dot acid and could not find her way to the Hawaii airport to pick up Mick. Laughing hysterically all the way.
If only we could have been a fly on the wall in those days ;)

He's thinking of writing a book or just to continue to post stories on his Facebook page. So far his stories are pretty interesting and I think he would have a pretty good book if he stays focused. Yes, he's has started and stopped several projects over the last few years. I don't think he is in the greatest of health either.

The story with Mick was from the White Album tour. Mick stayed up all night partying and went to bed in the morning. Richard knocked and knocked and thought Mick was already up and gone. Richard drove to the gig and no Mick. JC was pissed and drove to get Mick, getting back just in time to get on stage. Another good one, was when they got to their hotel the rooms weren't available and JC slapped the desk guy in the face and they stormed out to find another hotel. Richard said today JC would never have gotten away with doing that.

John Courage
 

Is it just me, or does John Courage seem like a first class a-hole? I agree with Richard that JC would never get away with slapping a desk clerk today. Still, to do it at all, in the guise of "well this is just rock and roll" really doesn't fly no matter what age we live in.

that story certainly sounds bad, but other than that it seemed like all associated with the band had really nice things to say about JC, and he was very respected for the work he did to shepherd that band of drugged out crazies in their heyday.

he was also somewhat active on facebook in the last few years before he died. he was nothing but great and in fb contacts so i wanted to make sure this thread doesn't start spiraling down and piling on by people who never had any contact with JC.

To be fair, I agree with elle that a number of threads like this one should be embedded as discussion continuations in older threads on the same subjects.

John and I interacted several times as friends on Facebook, and he was was always friendly and gracious. A gentleman. May he rest in peace.

I had the same experiences with him.
