Wasn't "Jonathon Todd" or something like that Mick's crazy manager?

Is he still in Mick's camp in any way? Anyone know what happened to him?

Jonathan Todd was part of that failed Fanclub. I recall people who paid the money for the fan club got screwed over for various reasons re presale tickets and he was the one spewing BS and deleting posts on the old message board they had when people complained. I believe he also threatned people with lawsuits etc if they didn't stop bad mouthing him and or the shady fan club. I have no idea what he is doing now.

Surely the classic photo caption threads are worth a mention?

Also, what happened to that absolutely hysterical video of “The Adventures of Buckingham Nicks” with Mick and his Cheeto’s?

Yeah, that was a good one, for sure. There were some hysterical captions. Do you know where that thread is?

I don’t remember that at all.

Remember Seteca and Gaius? Two gents I learned a great deal from about music. Long gone (from the Ledge, not the Earth, let’s hope).

According to LinkedIn, he's still a partner/manager at Mick's Restaurant. Apparently still very much involved.

And I remember the fan club fiasco very well. People were initially promised seats within the first X amount of rows on the fan club sign-up page etc. Then people signed up, went through the process, and that didn't turn out to be the case. People were being offered seats 10-15 rows back and not even center. Then I think they refused to acknowledge the bait and switch and refused to give people refunds. It got so bad that non-fan club people who did manage to get seats up front were wearing shirts that said something like "Fire Jonathan Todd"

The club also promised exclusive backstage content provided by Mick. Weeks and weeks of the tour went by and nothing was delivered. Mick eventually posted a few really lame videos of him on a treadmill backstage and that was about it.

They basically didn't deliver what they said they would on almost every level.

It's so difficult to imagine Mick hooking up with a loser. A loser and a loser...quelle surprise!

IMO, the fan club fiasco was really the start of the decline of Mick's reputation among fans. It was a big PR blunder and how he handled it really sucked.

I joined the live chat room Todd set up and monitored. I think I got kicked out for telling one of those shrieky toadies in the room that Mick was the drummer in the band, not the singer. Todd said, “We don’t want negative nabobs in here.” I said, “Then kick them out.” And he blocked my IP address!

Can you imagine? What kind of a major idiot do you have to be to kick me out of a Fleetwood Mac chat room? I was dumbfounded.

I got banned from a Lindsey fb page for asking a woman, "would it kill you to learn how to spell his name? It's LindsEy".

I was bant!

(I took it as a blessing)
