[This was posted on Sioux Falls radio website, I suppose it is excerpted from an interview I have not found yet. I am relieved that they all didn't die.]

The schedule for the first leg of Fleetwood Mac's Unleashed tour in March and April was "horrific," according to Stevie Nicks. She says they had only a few days off and that it "nearly killed all four" band members. Promoter Live Nation has worked more off-days into the second leg, which now runs through late June.

To me it looks as if the may-june schedule has not a day more air than the march-april schedule. Even worse?

Good Lord that woman is sucha damn whiner! Is she EVER happy or satisfied?? Working 3 hours a day, every other day for a month stretch would sure wear me out too.

Lol, she's a bit a drama-queen, isn't she?

I dont think you are taking into consideration the press they are doing, traveling back and forth between hub cities each day, rehearsal time, voice coach time, etc. And from your recent posting history, you have no room to talk about whining...lol!

Finally, I think, they understand Christine's feelings about touring.

They really aren't doing press. This is not like in the Tusk days where they had mics stuck in their faces after the show. They did one big joint interview at the beginning and Stevie and Lindsey did some video to kick things off. But that's about it. No local stuff, except radio by Mick.

The press Stevie has done since the tour began was for her CD/DVD.

I totally agree with that...but still takes a lot of time out of the day, etc. I am sure she is tired and I am sure being out on the road for months at a time gets really old really fast. That was my only point. It just seems like everybody takes everything to mean that they are whining. We only get to see what the press wants us to see.

I would imagine that the "3 working hours" is the least of the problems. There's the travelling, dealing with the press and fans and sleeping a strange bed each night which would take the toll. Remember she's no spring chicken. And we are the first to moan if she isn't as lively as we would expect.

So all who bought a ticket for this tour could be guilty of attempted murder.....?

Sadly, its probably just time for them to hang the band up on the mantle.
