One of the famous FM stories is the one that says that Stevie, when invited to join the band, listened to all the previous albums, and found an element of mysticism that existed throughout the band's history, no matter who the personnel were.
She jumped right in and continued that element of mysticism.
So, I can see the connection between the mystical Bob and the mystical Stevie. But I think Stevie's mysticism is emotionally based, whereas his is more cerebral. (To use a word I used earlier in this thread.)
If you can "trick" a Stevie fan into listening to 'Mystery to Me' by assuring the fan there is something Stevie-like about the record, then that's good. You'd be bringing a musical delight into somebody's life. Who knows, their eyes might open and they might even realize there is more to Fleetwood Mac than Ms. Nicks!
