Are you Team Lindsey or Team Fleetwood Mac? Who are u routing for in the lawsuit?

[mitzo]

Enough already. Finished. The genius can move on now and the personifications of pure evil go their own way.

[sleepless child]

Wow! I was just wondering about the court case last night. Well, it looks like that went away quick.

Someday we will get more of the story, I'm glad it appears to be settled and they can all move on.

But boy, the damage it did. I wonder if Stevie even realizes that there are fans of hers who have had a hard time with this. I know I have. For the first time since 1975, I have not gone to see Fleetwood Mac in concert. That's on her and Mick.

I bet they'll just add more shows onto the tour to make up for the money they used to pay Lindsey off. So you know that means us fans will be paying for it.

I was thinking about this the other day, too. Even though I'm not a rabid fan who goes to 100 shows on every tour, I HAVE GONE TO ONE SHOW FROM EVERY TOUR, SINCE TUSK. And I'm done. Firing Lindsey crossed the line, and I'm done. It's weird to think about, that you've followed a band for your entire life, through thick and thin, and that they can do something so horrendous, that you lose your will to ever see them again.

Same. I've never missed a tour, but I refuse to go now after what's transpired. It just wasn't right. And whilst I have nothing against N&M--especially Michael, since he and his wife do so much for dogs--it just seems like a patched together nostalgia act. I think it might end up polluting the legacy of TPaTH, too when Stevie tries to step into the role of TP and go on the road with The Heartbreakers...at least the Heartbreakers who will go along with that fiasco. Sad. It appears, though, that our disdain for this isn't impacting the shows. I guess a lot of people want to hear "Dreams" for the billionth time because they heard it on the radio.

That’s exactly it. Tons of people are rewarding poor behavior by shrugging their shoulders and shelling out hundreds of $ to see a farce of a band. The reviews that say Lindsey wasn’t missed it isn’t needed definitely don’t help.

The band isn't a farce. It's a continuation of what Fleetwood Mac has been. "This world of changing faces..." How people spend their money is up to them. If the product sucked no one would buy it. But clearly it doesn't and there is still a demand without Lindsey Buckingham. Like I said earlier:
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
Just like a rolling stone?

He eschewed the big machine, dissed it in the press, talked about artistic integrity. Now he's palying 750 seat theaters and can do whatever the hell he wants and NOW he wants money? Oh man. That's rich.

WHAT????????????? He AGREED to the tour. He did NOT eschew the big machine. Yes he wanted artistic integrity and that meant wanting to put out NEW music, but tambourine goat said NO.

Yes! What's her name said something on Twitter and that's it, the end. Now off with their heads!

I'm sure she has some kind of an idea-- she may live in a bubble but she doesn't live on Mars.
I was always a big Stevie fan, even when she annoyed me with things she said or did I was still a fan of her because I never deluded myself into thinking she's someone who was ever some goddess great person so none of those little things ever changed my overall view of her. But this has. I guess I'll always like her music but I never would've thought she could be so selfish.

^This.

She was probably the biggest pull to FM for me back in the mid 70s. And then I was so excited for her solo work and bought it all, and went to the tours. And I was so thrilled when they all got back together for The Dance, and happy for her that Silver Springs finally saw the light of day and got the recognition it deserved.

But her lack of ambition to do any new music after 2003 because if she couldn't be #1 on the charts then why bother really started to turn me. And then she called herself a legend in some interview, and the light went off-- she just wants to live off her legacy, it's too hard to do new stuff. But then she did a new solo album (IYD) and I thought ok she's come around. But that was an anomaly, and it played to her worst fears of not selling millions and it feels like that was the last gasp.

The ousting of Lindsey was the final straw. Others can disagree, but pushing him out seemed like a case of finally finding the right moment to take her fatal shot, and she took it. Very cold, very nasty, very calculating. Not a great way to end a legacy.......so it had to be a personal thing.

The lack of press they've done on this tour is astounding. And I think we can all understand why. Stevie is sheltered by her people but she's very much aware of what it being said. When this tour ends, the FM bubble will not be able to shield her. Is she going to stop promoting her solo career now too--of course not! She's going to get the questions and at some point, she (mentionitis) or Mick (and another book) will have to answer something. And yes, if Lindsey sits down for an interview at any point, he will too.

Unprecedented! Wonder if she's missing the chance to vent to the press or if she's loving being off the hook....

Legal probably has a gag order on them.
