Another Mick & Rick interview

[OldTimer]

This interview was in Norway during the MFBB's European tour. I didn't know Mick had spent a few years growing up in that country. He manages to speak a bit of the language.

Some interesting stuff. Mick was so drunk the first time he met Rick, he doesn't remember the meeting. Imagine that.

When Rick first came into FM, the blues numbers he was allowed to do were 'rationed', according to Mick --- "Somewhat sadly" he adds, because, "in retrospect, there were two people on that stage who wanted to let Rick lead the band farther into that blues direction."

However, he says the blues influence was always with FM -- "even, to some extent, with Lindsey and Stevie." He says listen to Don't Stop -- it's actually a blues shuffle.

He also expects the blues music he's playing now to "live and breathe long after Fleetwood Mac is gone."

Probably make more sense if I just posted the link, instead of trying to remember everything he said.....
