I think Mr Boyd has realised the error of his ways.

He says he didn't realise how "vocal her fan base was"

I'm so proud

You should be proud. We have to stick up for Christine. Maybe he didn't realize that she even had a fan base, let alone a "vocal fan base".

Last week , I wrote this to Mr. Boyd:

You have yet to "correct" the complete absence of Christine McVie in your article, hardly an "insignificant innacuracy."

It's as bad forgetting Graham Nash in a review of Crosby Stills and Nash. Until you've corrected this, your article won't hold up as accurate or responsible journalism. Sorry.


His defense is:


#27 — March 31, 2007 @ 21:04PM — Glen Boyd [URL]
I've gotten no shortage of grief about leaving the former Christine Perfect out of this article -- as you no doubt can see by the comments here.

My explanation for this is simply that I wanted to focus on the various guitarists who played in the band before FM "hit it big" with Rumours. I certainly do recognize Christine's role and her significance to Fleetwood Mac though, both than and now. I guess I just never realized how, umm "vocal" her fan base is. Trust me, should I ever revisit this subject, Christine will not be left out again. As it is, the article I wrote just is what it is. Hopefully I imparted some sense of the band's history, with or without the venerable Ms. Christine. Thanx for the comment.

-Glen


Note: he refuses to add her in the article. What stubborness at the expense of accuracy!

Walk a Thin Line and That's All For Everyone are extremely blah to me. I certainly don't hate them, but I try to avoid them whenever possible.
