![]() I agree with this because Mick doesn't want to piss anybody off that is still in the band. And even though Christine left he doesn't want to get on her bad side because what if she comes back like Lindsey did? He knows that a tour with Christine will sell out in a heartbeat or an album with her will fly off the shelves. Big $$$ to be made there...

![]() A book by Bob Welch would be awesome. I love that period anyway! Plus, I'm sure it covers life after FM.

Yeah, I love that period of time too. Future Games and Mystery to Me are two top-five Mac albums for me. |

![]() Bekka is one of the most incredible singers I have ever heard, as was her mother. But how could anyone fill Stevie Nick's shoes. It was her worst career decision in her life. She could have been huge on her own had she not tried to do that.\
Bob's book will tell so much more of the truth and you will be shocked. And it's in his own words, at least 15 chapters he wrote before he died. |

I've had a soft spot for her since 1992, but was already a fan of her folks. I was happy she was in and Stevie was out. By her own recent admission, Stevie had a lot of bad nights before 1997. Stevie was really at her worst when Bekka came into the picture, so Bekka was a very welcomed addition for me. I don't know how truthful she was being, but I've read that Bekka really didn't want to be huge and turned down a lot of big offers over the years.

![]() yeah,
but by that time, Stevie was firmly established as the STAR of Fleetwood Mac. As big as Peter Green was, they never had a platinum album, much less 20x platinum before Stevie. So thinking that any woman stepping onstage in her place, while she was still in her own career, was a miscalculation at best. |

I would much rather have seen them develop into an Americana type band with a huge cult following, NOT milking the band's past entirely, and had more albums and affordable shows. Become a working band, again, with its own unique identity. Oh, that's right. It's Mick and John. If Lindsey makes a solo record that tanks, it's praised as being an artistic masterpiece, and Lindsey's above worrying about sales. If Mick and John put out a new Fleetwood Mac that takes the sound in a new direction and it tanks, it's just a pathetic attempt at keeping the band they've had since 1967 together. Instead, we got a compilation, "Say You Will", ANOTHER live album, TWO repackagings of "Rumours", and a couple of grotesquely overpriced Greatest Hits tours that rehash the same old tired songs.

I'm going to Jazz fest and as much as I love BN, I would gladly pay to see a blues/country version of the Mac ala Chris, Bekka, Billy, Vito and MF's blues Band. Refreshing, Yes. Mass Commercial Appeal, No. |

![]() I asked Mick about this at the M&G and he had no idea about it, so sounds like a re-release of the old book, so no new material. He did say he was currently thinking about writing something, but it would be more a long the lines of his philosophy on life type of a thing rather than a bio.
He also said he didn't know how it could be re-released as he owns it. Better check with the publisher, Mick.
