The new band!

I still don’t get why Fleetwood Mac would keep Neale, and why Neale wouldn’t go with Lindsey, aside from money, which makes him as complicit as Christine, according to people here.

No it doesn't. He's a touring musician. He needs to tour to make income. I'm sure he's a great friend of Lindsey and his presence on so many of Lindsey's solo ventures shows that, but I'm sure that the real money has always come from FM. I doubt that tours like Lindsey's generate much profit, especially compared to FM.

seriously??????? you don't see the difference between a jobbing musician who needs to work to pay his day-to-day bills (and has serious health problems) vs independently wealthy rock star who never has to work a day in her life anymore, and hasn't had for decades?

also the arguments that Christine is Mick's and/or John's friend so owes them? well, doesn't friendship go both ways? if they are HER friends, shouldn't they also listen to her? so yes, people think she needed to weigh in with her dear friend Mick, same as he was with her. but oh wait Mick needs money! well, tough! Mick is a rock star and a co-producer of the biggest FM albums. you know, the ones the whole FM is co-producer of? Rumours? he should have tons on money coming in, if nothing co-producing money. he made millions on each Mac tour. i can't feel bad for Mick the same as i don't feel bad when people say that poor Rolling Stones always squander all their money and have to go to yet another tour.

and while i am at it, Mike Campbell? co-writer of some of the biggest money making songs ever? with Petty, with the Eagles and Nicks? yes, let's feel bad for poor Mike, he just needed a job. right?

I know it will NEVER HAPPEN. But in my dreams I have always wanted Lindsey to team up for a solo tour with Nancy Wilson of Heart. IT WOULD BE AMAZZZZING! Now that Heart is on hiatus, maybe next year? haha

Oh, that would make Stevie soooo happy!

It wasn’t Ann, it was Nancy. I would rather see him with Nancy.

I get Neale has had his illness, but I don’t get why Fleetwood Mac needs him, now. And, I’m sure he’s been handsomely paid for his work. I’m glad he’ll be there, if that’s what all parties want. What rubs me the wrong way is how Brett is praised and Christine damned for their choices. They had their own reasons that are none of our business.

I never said she owes them, just that her loyalty will always be with them, and it’s unfair and unrealistic to expect otherwise. She has significantly more history with them, personally and professionally. The only tours she’s ever done without them are with Chicken Shack, her 1969 band, her 1984 band, and LBCM.

When did I ever suggest that MC needed sympathy? I feel bad he lost his best friend on a human level, but he’s had a great run professionally.

Maybe Lindsey needs a spy?

you are confusing FM members. Lindsey is not the one who cares about spying.

Haha! I still remember those Stevie's spies at that Lindsey's fundraiser thing. Of course her fans still deny it.

sodascouts · #13 08-19-2018, 01:52 PM

I'm just glad it won't be another one man show. While Lindsey's brilliance shone, the format limited him nonetheless.

Gerald just brought to my attention that Waddy W. and Brett played together last night in LA:

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...29055233916001

what if Waddy is Neale's replacement in LB's solo touring band this fall?

PS i want Janet. unfortunately i don't see that happening.

sodascouts · #15 08-19-2018, 06:57 PM

That would really surprise me, but stranger things have happened.
