Nicks' beloved father’s been ailing for 30 years. The costs add up. Her ma’s elderly. Her brother is out of work whom she’s supporting (last job I heard he had he sold T-shirts at Buckingham’s OUT OF THE CRADLE TOUR), is married and has a family, and Nicks is putting a niece through college. And her cocaine habit, the one that bankrupted Mick Fleetwood, had left her pretty dry. Both Buckingham’s affluent parents have passed away and left him money. He also makes money up-front with production, as well as song-writing royalties. He saved his money early on, and his investments grew exponentially. And since the documentary was made, the Buckingham’s decided on having another child (that they knew they’d have to put through college and had enough money for) and Buck bought out almost a fourth of the seats in September 2003 of Chicago’s SOUND STAGE at $150/ticket to give away free to fans. Buckingham's still very wealthy and generous! |

Jess Nicks doesn't need any of his daughters money, he used to own Compton Terrace in AZ. She stopped doing coke in '86, so I don't see how it could've obliterated her fortune. The Arizona Heart Benefit is a way to make a lot of money for a cause. Why not hold an annual benefit to get support for a charity? So, everyone who takes part in a telethon is poor, eh? Sorry, but Clay Aiken doesn't have a tenth of Stevie's steak, doll. I won't even touch her brother because I can't stand him, but it says a lot about her wealth if she can afford to employ her own brother. She's had five albums that have sold at least platinum, two that have gone gold, she's headlined high-grossing tours with the Mac and on her own, she gets a large chunk of money for the Mac albums, she gets songwriting royalties every time a song of hers is played on the radio and every time one is covered by another artist, and she stand to make $20 million from the current tour. She's hurting for money? I think you're hurting for logic. I can't help but notice the derogatory way in which you speak about Stevie as a woman and a person. It's positively shocking.

Stevie has also donated the royalties to several of her songs over the years, both to charitable organizations and to friends-in-need. I don't think her altruism can be questioned. As for Mr. & Mrs. Nicks... they have always been rather affluent, and I doubt they rely THAT heavily on Stevie's financial contributions. Though she's certainly given her parents money over the years... or at least helped them *earn* money, by donating memorabilia to Mrs. Nicks' Silver Springs Emporium store, when it was in operation, and by putting the publishing rights to "Silver Springs" in Mrs. Nicks' name. And, at any rate, the point Stevie was making was that Lindsey, Mick & John all have young children that they need to worry about providing for. Health-care, dental-care, school tuition (assuming none will attend public school, and that Molly doesn't), college tuition, and so on. I'm sure they probably all have insurance, but I don't believe the music industry has a healthcare plan, so things like that would all come out of the pockets of the artist. Hence Stevie cautioning Lindsey to remember that they all have families they need to worry about.

Imagine, if you will, if fans said that the only good parts about Lindsey's songs, are Stevie's backing vocals. I imagine you'd find that statement to be rather incredulous and akin to blasphemy. Lindsey is "the chief architect of the Fleetwood Mac sound," no doubt about it, but I think it's unfair to give either him or Stevie credit for an entire half of the appeal of the others' music. The same goes for Christine.

I t nk Stevie's songs are better on SYW. But I also say that those great Stevie songs wouldn't be so great without Lindsey's production. So I'll say both.

i'm probably the only one here who thinks that Stevie's work on Say You Will is for the most part, mediocre. I love Illume and Thrown down and Smile At You, but I think the rest of her tracks feel pretty weak.
Without a question, this is Lindsey's project - without him, this band would be worthless today. Thank God for Lindsey Buckingham - some how, he managed to bring my favorite band back to life and prevented them from becoming an embarrasing nostalgia act. Say You Will is a brave gutsy album. I love that he made the record with his art in mind, selfishly, and beautifully. I can't stand the fact that Stevie "prayed to the commercial Gods..." - you'd think by now, she'd have the confidence to make music that's good - for only that reason. It shouldn't matter whether or not it sells to the masses. The Fleetwood Mac core fan base is loyal - and they will listen. This band doesn't need radio anymore - as long as they keep making records that have integrity. |
