So interesting to see him being so open and interactive with the fans on social media. Would not have expected it from him lol. Not surprised at all to see that they're just not speaking to him. They aged physically past the 70s but not mentally. Truly childish.

Yeah.. so much so that we won't even know it if they have progressed to their second childhoods.

if you ever talked to him (as many will get that chance this fall!) you would not be surprised at all how matter-of-fact he can actually be in normal conversations. but like you, i'm hugely, pleasantly surprised that he decided to actually do this, interact with fans on social media in writing, in real time. yes insta stories are like snaps and don't last beyond a day, but he knew going in that they'll be captured by people and live on.

it's a great move, and so gratifying for fans!

I’m planning to ask him what he does to stay in shape. Just because I haven’t thought of anything better yet.

I am stoked to see him opening night of 10/7 and even more excited to meet him!

Hoping for as many OOTC songs as we can get.

He's a lifelong swimmer. Any the only member of Fleetwood Mac who didn't battle an addiction. It shows.

He's a lifelong pothead. That's not an addiction?

But I will agree, that versus alcohol/real drugs, that that's why he's in ~by far~ the best shape.

Well he wasn't an addict in the same sense as Stevie or Mick but he certainly had more than his fair share of issues lol.

I'll let you know what he says. Yes, I forgot about his swimming - does he still do it regularly?

This sounds right. I think his cannabis use has historically been pretty prolific too. I wonder if he still partakes of that. My guess is that he does (SN too), considering how accessible it is in California. I forget if it's legal there or not but regardless.

not sure. probably keeps up - we'll see what he tells you.

but he walks every day. there was some recent interview where he was asked to describe his regular day and he said he goes for a long walk every morning. and we know from all those pics with fans at various parks and roads from the last few FM tours that he walks almost every day while on tour too, regardless of where he is.

tours help too - he always has a little belly when not on tour, and that slims down as the tour is going on.
