From Heroes Are Hard To Find (blog):
I was overjoyed by a Fleetwood Mac mention in the awesomely moving new film by Darnell Martin, Cadillac Records, a dramatization of the story of Chess Records. The mention happens during Willie Dixon's (Cedric the Entertainer) narration. He describes the British bands that were influenced by Chess Records: "The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, and Eric Clapton." I thought that was cool that Mac (technically Peter Green-era) was recognized as being worthy of that grouping. If only someone could tell the Mac story with Martin's understanding of how private personality (ambition, pain, sensitivity), social context, and material differences combine to create a pop epoch!

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
