I want Lindsey to never have anything to do with any of them again. No Fleetwood Mac tours. No reunions of any type. No BuckVie 2.0. What I really would love to see is a Lindsey interview at some point that is just no holds barred about all of this. No nonsense answers that ramble on about the cycles. Just a complete overview of everything Fleetwood Mac from 2000-2018. This crap has been brewing for years and id love to know his true feelings and opinions on all of it.

Exactly, and maybe Kristen could join him. I’m sure she would add in some interesting commentary as well.

lol...that might be a lot more enlightening than Lindsey. From what I've seen of KB on social media, I don't think she would beat around any bushes.

I'd love to understand how their kids went from calling Stevie their "Aunt" to her firing their father. I feel like that (completely stupid) Bob Dylan incident started something that miserable Stevie could never get past.

This is what Stevie couldn't get over:

A relatively widely publicized Fleetwood Mac project was started regardless of her commitment written on the bottom line.

Her bluff was called and the project was still released. It was a Fleetwood Mac album minus Stevie Nicks and all of the positive press called this out.

Despite Lindsey and Christines effort to twist the plot and NOT throw her under the bus by saying it "evolved into a duets album"

For the better part of 2 years Fleetwood Mac essentially carried out a project despite her absence and it was well received. It also proved for the first time since 1997 that Stevie Nicks didn't have the upper hand in Fleetwood Mac anymore.

...and she sure did see to changing that.

In my mind, the day they announced that album was being released was essentially waging war in the eyes of the Nicks camp. It wasn't a matter of what her reaction would be, it was when and how. As much as I loved the album and tour, I would cringe every time I thought of how it was settling with Nicks. We all knew this wasn't going to be good, but I don't think anyone expected that nut to go nuclear.

Gosh, you are so right about this... I remember exactly where I was when I heard about the album, initially reported to be called "Buckingham McVie," and my reaction. I did like a full-body cringe. That name was such an obvious reference to "Buckingham Nicks," and Lord knows that would not sit well with Stevie. So on the one hand, I was thrilled to be getting new music from these guys. But on the other, I thought the same thing -- this is not going to drive her nuts (regardless, obviously, of her many public statements saying "why would anyone record new music anymore?"). I was nervously excited.

That of course was replaced with full-blown excited when the album came out and when I got to see them in Raleigh and DC. The Classic shows and Person of the Year performance all seemed relatively standard... I don't think Stevie gave two ****s about what Lindsey said in the press about the Classics, but it may have been used after the fact. Honestly, I remember at the time being more concerned about how mad he was that GYOW got all messed up at Classic East and thinking maybe he'd decide he was done with FM in lieu of the smaller stuff.

Looking at all of this in hindsight, I guess maybe I should have been prepared for what came next, but I definitely was not. Sadly I had more faith in Stevie (and the others) than I should have. She couldn't get past it and pulled the pin from the grenade.

I seriously doubt “Auntie Stevie” ever existed. I don’t see her interacting with his kids at all, no matter how many shippers stories from the SYW tour are floating around. I don’t see her being nice around kids, especially Lindsey’s kids with another woman.

FINALLY ABLE TO GET ON THE LEDGE!

All this is so true. That shriveled old shrew was so jealous that they'd put out something(and something REALLY GOOD) without her bitter old ass on it, just drove her over the edge. She would show him, and she did. Old bitch showed him, and ruined their legacy, and pumped her own inflated ego up, bigger than her ass. She's the worst thing that ever happened to FM. I hope karma gets her in a BIG way.

The shipper stories had him married w Aunt Stevie loving the kids

AND them still secretly in love. Especially because, he recorded at her house.

AND....... wait for it... that nasty Christine coming back and breaking them up for good!!

I also kind of think this scenario of getting Lindsey out of the band had been in the back of her mind since the 2010/2011 Sheryl Crow fiasco and Micks pathetic playboy magazine interview. Lindsey put the kabosh on that idea and I don't think Stevie was too thrilled about that. Somehow they got it together long enough for the 2013 tour - but again, that (Sheryl Crow idea) was yet another decision that was vetoed (most likely) by Lindsey and if Lindsey walked, guess what? No Fleetwood Mac tour. Stevie's hands were tied at that time.

With Christine back in the picture and Mike Campbell a free agent again? No brainer, right?

What's really sad though is knowing what we know now:

1. They were ready to replace John when he got cancer, mid-tour! - can't lose out on that cash!
2. They were ready to replace Christine with Sheryl Crow

There really is no sense of loyalty amongst any of them except for the love that Lindsey clearly had/has for them and is clearly evident in the legal documents for the lawsuit last year.

I agree looking back. As hard as Lindsey was on Christine for leaving, he wanted to still protect her legacy. He wanted to function as a four piece and keep what was left in tact. Lindsey really cared about FMac after The Dance. I think his exit made him appreciate it more. SYW allowed him to create.

He wanted to keep creating and $tevie didn't.

This is what I don't get. Reading his autobiography, we learn that Mick has always liked to help give ex-members a hand in their careers. He tried to help Green, Spencer, Welch, etc. What changed?

in his biography, Mick gets to present a picture of himself that he wants to - it may not necessarily be true.

in fact, after last year i tend to doubt any info we ever got from Mick. if he's lying this hard when sober in his 70s, how much untruths did he tell when he was high and out of it?
