Jeremy was the leader, I was wrong!
Having absorbed as much as I could of the Madison Blues discs I have to admit it does seem that for awhile on the Kiln House tour Jeremy was the point man for FM, the main attraction, however brief that time was. I had seen him only as a side act and mainly a mimic up until hearing some of these live recordings. It makes more sense now the pressure he had said he was feeling that lead him to leaving suddenly. It's too bad also how the kind of people a rock group draws the strongest are the emptiest ones looking for something more than the music.
In the DVD interview Jeremy mentioned some '70s tracks as being disco garbage. I must not have heard those tracks but I did like something of his I heard after Fleetwood Mac. If for some reason you don't have it yet the Madison Blues set is very much worthwhile. |

I would disagree that Danny didn't have much material around that time. He had more than Jeremy for a start. Apart from what ended up on Kiln House, he had Dragonfly and the other extra tracks on Madison Blues, plus he had several unreleased songs from Peter Green days still knocking around. Jeremy's songs were nearly all covers or very close to being covers. I think that when it came to composing, Danny was the driving force of the band, even when Bob Welch joined - I think that's partly where Danny felt the pressure. It was only after Danny left that Bob and Chris wrote more songs. |

He was the focal point...the showman, but Danny and Christine were the
writers. Pretty much, it was then, is now, and ever shall be...the best train wreck Rock and Roll ever begat I could repeat that in Latin. But I won't
