I'm supposed to be in London at the end of September anyway, so if it comes down to it, I will probably sell a vital organ and make it happen. Knowing my luck, I'll do that, and she'll decide not to go on!

And I don't believe we're in the minority at all. I have many friends who could be considered "casual" Fleetwood Mac fans, and they openly talk about how much they miss her being part of the band. After SYW, I think lots of people gained perspective on how important she is. That whole "don't know what you've got 'til it's gone," thing and all.
Yeah, I always thought another Buckingham/Nicks album would be awesome. But sadly it didn't do much for me. There's some magic in there but it seems so discombobulated as an album. Say Goodbye is an amazing tune. I feel that magic in places.

In The Meantime has a lot more of those magic moments for me. She had some nice soaring vocals and harmonies. She had those warm keyboards dashed with some of the McVie rhythm. She covered her nephew's composition "Calamy". The closing track, "Givin it Back" is very very (McVie/Buckingham). I love opening tunes Friend and You Are. There's some discombobulation on In the Meantime as well, but her album is so much more relaxed and warm. And So Sincere..
