I think her biography might be amazing if she had someone help her focus. Ken is just covering Rumours. Stevie has 1971-present. That's a ton of information, memories, photographs, recollections. etc.
I would love it if Stevie titled her book, "Blame it on my Wild Heart", a biography about the performance career of Stevie Nicks. I would buy that book in a heartbeat. Because no matter what anyone says about Stevie Nicks, she is a treasure to me. Warts and all... Having said that Ken's book is absolutely incredible.

Carol's book was awesome because I felt like I got to go on tour with them. Ken's book is fun because I feel like I am privy to how the politics work in the band, and how they actually produce music amongst being constantly f*** up. Christine's portrayal has been consistant with Mick, Carol and now Ken's book. Classy (yet curses a lot), loud laugher, respectful yet powerful when she wants to be. Added a lot of extra instruments to Rumours. Even played Vibes on Dreams. Love that she wrote Songbird on the spot. Lindsey same thing in all 3 books. Great musician, genius producer, difficult to work with, unhappy, beats and strangles women, and strangles and verbally abuses Ken. Rubs his hands a lot in excitement. Very much cares about the music. John is very quiet until he gets drunk. Very much cares about the music and his contributions. Mood swings with the cocktails. Mick and Stevie are really the focus of this Rumours book. Lindsey is. Oh and Ken called Stevie "Lindsey" when they first met. That is really funny. I wonder if he said it "LINDSAY" lol

I've tried to respond to Ken's article several times, but for whatever reason, kept baffling me to a point. At first, I got upset about his comments about the band being nasty to each other and their co-workers, but at the end of the day I think he was pretty spot on (minus the jab about taking care of prior employees related to the band, aka Wong).
What gets me the most about this interview is how he says "they could be doing so well." I really think he has a point there. Fleetwood Mac could have a huge career right now if they wanted, they just can't seem to get their sh*t together. At the time, I thought Say You Will was a solid Fleetwood Mac album. However, as time has passed, I like it less and less. I am a huge supporter of Lindseys production skills, but those songs just didn't bite in the long run. If a future mac album has the strength of Gift of Screws, Seeds We Sow, and In Your Dreams, I'm sure it would blow SYW out of the water. As much as I love Fleetwood Mac as a band, I think they're time as a unit has been wasted since Say You Will. Stevie and Lindsey's solo projects have sparked emotions in me that early FM albums did for me. I'll be thrilled if they put out a new project, but if another GH tour is in the works, I'll be bummed. |

I think the big problem for people like Ken is that they don't see the band as being rock stars. They see them as just regular people with whom they have a working relationship. From personal experience, it IS different on the inside.
Remember guys like Ray Lindsey and Richard Dashut knew Stevie and Lindsey back when nobody knew them, when Stevie was waiting tables at Big Boy. Hell, Ray Lindsey drove Stevie to the Mexican restaurant for that first meeting! Judy Wong was at that meeting. Is it fair to expect them to be all that impressed by the band's fame, to look at the band like they're rock icons? And, I agree, the band could do a better job in the loyalty department. These weren’t just fly-by-night people leeching onto the band. They were critical pieces of the machine. |

John Stewart had commented that Lindsey was brilliant, yes, but verrry difficult to work with... Maybe that reputation got out and that's why he suddenly just seemed to not be producing anyone outside of FMac after just a few years in the band. |

I love Bonnie Raitt and had no idea Lindsey did session work for her. What album is this on? I have to go and play it! I know of Bonnie's work with Christine on No Way To Treat A Lady but no other Fleetwood Mac connection.

I do remember Egan saying that it was difficult working with both Stevie and Lindsey as his producers and that they had to be in the studio separately for it to work. Michele |

I thought both Christine and Lindsey worked with her. It's been so long I can't recall.
