How can you stop something you want to happen?

Exactly. That's ridiculous. She wanted him fired, so why would she stop it?

She finally became the leader of FM. Musical director. The next tour to feature all kinds of keyboard solos by her, plonking along on the two chords(F and G) that she knows.

PLONK, PLONK, PLONK, PLONK, PLONK! To the gypsy......

She's quite the visionary...

But she always has been. Just at what she did to Bob Welch. And how she has always belittled her own solo work and previous bands in favor of FM. In her own way, her dedication to FM is more insidious than Mick’s.

I know, believe me. It took me a couple of years to get over her keeping Bob out of the HOF. She's apparently pretty cold, when it comes to business.

I agree with you. In actual fact, any one of the 4 of them could have done something, but chose not to. So darn disappointing, suck the life blood out of you disappointing.

What I was trying to say is that I know for certain that Stevie is the reason that he is gone because if she wanted him to be in the band he still would be no question. Guess I just worded it absurdly ..sorry.

I know, I know! I was trying to making it sound more obvious for those who STILL believe this is all Mick's solo work.

Stevie IS the powerful force in the band. For the good (filling arenas) and for the bad (firing Lindsey). Why is it to hard to believe, I don't know.

I won't be going to any Fleetwood Mac shows with this lineup. I mean what's the point?
I am done with them. Mick are you listening to your fans?

Unhappy This is the payback he gets?

You know....Stevie has always been my favorite band member to follow. I sincerely love her music and song writing. That being said though....At the very beginning, Lindsey wouldn't join the band without her...Now, I'm sure if she would have stomped her foot and said "If he has to leave, then I will too" then this whole fiasco wouldn't have happened. She owed him that! Again...just my opinion. I am so sad that I can't see the group one more time. I was sad when I heard this was the last tour but now I'm devastated it won't be the real FM! I'm done! No more money from me! I still love my real FM music but if Lindsey's out, so am I.
