![]() I would have rather enjoyed Bob Welch return to fill Lindsey's shoes. Now that's full circle.

![]() I like Billy and Rick, but I don't think either were leaders or visionaries (or not allowed to be if they were), which is fine in most situations. I think the same is true of Stevie and Christine. Peter, Bob, and Lindsey all had musical visions, and they were able to take those visions and give the band direction. Billy and Rick weren't able to do that, and I'm not sure it was by choice. While by all accounts Billy was going to be on the "Tango" tour even if Lindsey had stayed, I think the band was trying to hide the fact that Lindsey was gone as much as possible. As if both having dark, curly hair wasn't enough, they had Billy dress in the same type of clothing as Lindsey AND play a WHITE Gibson Les Paul Custom, a al Lindsey before the Turner. They were trying to keep their image as status quo as possible. Fleetwood Mac set themselves up for failure, because what they really needed was a paradigm shift. So, in that sense, I agree with David. However, I really can't blame either Billy or Rick for how their Fleetwood Mac tenure turned out. I think both have more than redeemed themselves since their Fleetwood Mac days.

For me, there were two ways of doing this. The first way, as discussed, would have been to get a contemporary with a name, not too terribly different from the band, but was not so famous as to overpower the group. My two choices would have been Roger McGuinn or, dare I say it, Dave Mason. Either could have come into the situation, rearrange things to suit them a little better, and go on the road. There would have been a buzz, and either would have had the freedom to just be himself. The other would be to start something altogether new. They could have gotten somebody who had a lot of ideas and the ability to get the band behind those ideas, as well as take the band in a pretty radical new direction. Like Bob did in 1971. Sadly, they COULD have done it had they just let Billy and Rick be themselves. I was actually hoping that BTM would have had a greater country-blues feel, something along the lines of "Highway 61 Revisited" or "Sticky Fingers."

But of course by 1997, even the Rumours band wasn't like the Rumours band any more.
