Seriously though, for the past 10-15 years Fleetwood Mac have been a genuinely cool band to like. I mean... proper hip. For On With the Show I had loads of trendy celebrities sat in front of me.

No doubt. The Mac and especially Stevie have very very loyal fans. A very much more devoted following than Journey for sure. I was speaking coolness only during my era. Journey was constantly criticized by music reviewers as corporate rock. But reviewers usually get everything wrong.
Let me be clear. I don't really think Journey was or is a cool band. I am saying they were cooler than the Mac during the 80s when I was growing up. But that was not hard to do LOL
