"Oh Divine One, speak to us undeserving minnows as we search for our daily bread. We sit here like mindless lemmings in a never ending state of paralysis, all the while eating up precious and expensive studio time waiting for a sign, any sign, and above all your presence, on what chords to strike and what notes to play. Please Green God, show us a sign, cast your divine glow upon us, and inspire us with good deeds and musical manna. And speak to us great leader, for we can't work without you. Alas we know not what to do."
~ Mick Fleetwood, speaking for the other 3 schmucks that constituted Fleetwood Mac, summer of 1969
From the official TPO De Lane Lea Studios logbook -- just looked it up to verify, it's in there, it's good.
