I discovered Stevie and Fleetwood Mac about the time of Gypsy. But I think I kept getting confused between Gypsy and Stevie's solo stuff and Hold me and Love In Store being the band. In fact, years later when I went from being a casual listener to a huge fan I we shocked upon hearing Fleetwood Mac and Rumors that they were all the same band and that I had loved many of those songs over the years and never knew they were all from the same band. But Mirage is special to me because that was when I first got into them, and with all the changes in style Lindsey had gone through over the years it's this very image in that video of him with the vest and the hat and medium length curly hair (not yet the giant tower of fluff that was to signify his mid to late 80's appearance) that is my eternal portrait of him when I hear him sing. I think he's absolutely gorgeous here.
