They settled out of court in 1996, I think it was.

So sad to hear about Bob. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

I wish Bob had been included. But the Hall Of Fame
is a joke. To the point of it being meaningless. I can only guess that his feeling of being cheated was a stronger emotion that actually making it into the HOF. |

Bob's omission was so conspicuous, especially in light of Danny's and Jeremy's inclusions, it's hard not to imagine he was excluded by request of the band--ie: Fleetwood and the McVies, who most likely did not want to share a stage with him.
There may have also been an argument going around that if they included Welch they'd have to include Vito, Burnette, Weston, and even Walker, Mason, and Bramlett--hell even Brunning. But that argument isn't fair to Welch as his contribution to the band was long-standing and substantial in a way even Vito's and Burnette's--the most substantial members of this additional list--were not. Incidentally, the fact that both parties settled out of court suggests that Welch was at least partially in the right to ask for back money, royalties, etc... |

Billy was in the band for eight years, and BTM was the highest charting, biggest selling record that didn't involve Buckingham.

And sometimes even if a party wants to fight for principle's sake, the insurance company presses a settlement anyway. Or let's say if you sued John Smith who is on contract with Warner Bros. and both parties are named in the lawsuit, then WB might have to indemnify and pay John Smith's part of any judgment or settlement (or vice versa). If WB is the one who is going to be left paying most of the settlement, it might insist on settling even against John Smith's wishes, because it can just write the settlement off as a business expense. WB wouldn't care that Smith wanted to pursue the case and prevail as a matter of personal conviction. If it costs less to settle, sometimes (indeed, maybe most of the time) people will do that. It's often not a matter of right or wrong. Michele Michele |

I'm pretty sure this is Mick's idea of who is the REAL Fleetwood Mac (i.e. where the money is):

Wow, to those of you who are Facebook friends with Bob Welch, you should read his wall. Wendy is sharing and grieving. One guy answered her, concerning FM...
I don't feel comfortable quoting him verbatim, but one guy posted 'I've had dealings with Mick Fleetwood before, and he's a GREEDY PIG'. I rather enjoyed reading that! EDIT - I should add, that she just posted that "It wasn't Mick, who kept Bob out of the HOF, but another small minded person in the band"

Can I put $150 on Christine McVie at odds of 5/1 ? thanks!
lol ,but really I hope that can of worms isn't being opened especially this soon ,it's been so long since HOF now,I never thought of that stuff being important,or awards or any of it.
the ''clue'' Wendy hinted was the person claimed to have kept in touch but hadn't is what throws me off my guess though -so fingers seem to point to ****?! Bizarre ,I don't know what went on Last edited by Bryan; 06-23-2012 at 12:02 PM.. Reason: added lemony chiffon colored gossipy scandal |

ALTHOUGH, Lindsey is quite the prima donna, so I wouldn't necessarily rule him out... It's definitely either Chris or Lindsey, IMO.

Well, it's a mystery, isn't it? But I am fascinated by this article published in the Plain Dealer:

In the end, it could have been the RRHOF committee. It could have been an FM member. Or both. We will probably never know for certain. |
