I guess it's because the other bands were made of men.

I do hate the double standard. Especially at this time. I don't judge Stevie for sleeping around. I think they all dipped their toes in 'ho' land. I know a few Christine stories, too. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Not many people immune to that. Men and women alike.

A lot of time ago I had started to read a biography about Led Zeppelin, they passed groupies to each other like a stress relief method, sort of like "No no now go with him, he's stressed and he needs it more" and were disgusted by the fact that one of those girls didn't wash herself between a guy and the other and it took quite a lot of time for someone to gather the courage to say that to her even if in the meantime that didn't stopped them from anything.
I also read the very disturbing fact that apparently Axl Rose liked to film himself when he was with groupies and humiliated them with sexual acts that comprehended urine and feces.
And finally Motley Crue between a girl and the other put their genitals inside hot tacos to conceal the fact that they just had another sex encounter (I still have to understand that to this day).
The fact is that the rock scene, especially before the spreading of AIDS, is a whole another world made of money, substances and entitlement.

You took it right where I was going. I've been jealous in the past, of the freedoms that they had back in the 70s. When a shot of penicillin could pretty much fix anything you contracted. AIDS changed all that. For gay and straight.

Setlist speculations?

[FuzzyPlum]

Who is playing last? Fleetwood Mac or Eagles? Or will they split it at the two venues? (night one FM, night two Eagles at the first venue. Vica versa at the second venue)

[tothegypsy]

Fleetwood Mac plays the 2nd night on both coasts.

[dontlookdown]

The Eagles headline the first night, Fleetwood Mac headlines the 2nd night.

It'll be exactly what you expect -- the same tired setlist of greatest hits.
There won't be much time to rehearse, so I'm sure they'll go with what they're used to.

[tothegypsy]

My hope is that each of them does one track that wasn't done on the last tour. For Stevie, I'm hoping for Angel

I disagree! At this point in time, Chris and Linds will have their own personal setlist down, and if the rest of the band allows, they may play one of their new tunes!

IA but for Fleetwood Mac it probably looked weirder to people that it was all intermixed within each other/their people. Stevie and Lindsey, Stevie and Mick, Mick and Sara, John and Christine, Christine and Curry, Stevie and Curry, Lindsey and Stevie's hairstylist etc.

I just wish Stevie could've found a real relationship.

I have to agree with you. I'd be surprised if it was anything different from the last tour at all. The Chain/YMLF/Dreams/Rhiannon/Everywhere/Tusk/Big Love/Landslide/GDW/ISA/GYOW/Don't Stop/Songbird/Silver Springs. Fill in 8-9 in between...

There are some pics out there back in the 70's that made him look hot. But I have a thing for drummers, so don't listen to me.

Angel has been endlessly asked by fans and that wish was never granted. No idea why, but I doubt they will do it now after so many years.
I'm also hoping for Angel. And Fireflies.

Because their voices can't handle it anymore
