Howard Stern mentions F-Mac

rezamatic · #1 09-17-2004, 08:44 AM

I was listening to Howard Stern at work and he happened to be talking about Soundstage. He said that on his day off yesterday or so he got really roped into the Fleetwood Mac concert. I always wondered what he'd think about the band, and he actually had a lot of good things to say!

He basically was explaining how neat it was to watch their performance after all the history they've been through. Of course, as is the norm with Howard he had things slightly off (Stevie was married to Lindsey and then was banging the drummer, apparently). But it was neat to watch them 'all in love' now and able to sing these romantic songs to one another on stage, as opposed to back when they were in turmoil and whatnot.

He said 'first right away I want to say that Lindsey Buckingham has to be one of the most underrated guitar players in the world' which is definitely the usual thing I hear DJ's or TV hosts say about him the most. He also went on to say that Stevie's still pulling off twirls and manuevers like she did when she was hot. He then goes into how it's weird when chicks are hot and then become fat when you haven't seen them in a while (he wondered if Lindsey had to be thinking 'how did I ever bang this chick?' while he's singing to/with her, hehehe). But other than Stevie's shift in body frame, he had nothing but positive things to say! Even complimented Mick on being a kick-ass drummer who looked like he was going to keel over behind the set but kept going.

He played Stevie's dedication to Lindsey and went into Landslide for a bit, and then played the opening of "The Chain". It made my day - I totally expected him to bash them for being a washed up band or something like that, but he actually recommended the concert bigtime and said he'd love to go see them live. Too late, Howard :-D

Just figured I'd share. It made my day.

Very cool. I love the old Stern 1990 interview w/ John and Chris, it is a riot. (Mick was too stoned to really speak much and Rick Vito didn't have headphones!) Howard kept harping on why LB had left the band, how stupid that was etc.

Gosh I used to listen to Stern every day, back in my former 'pre-kids' life.

I work from midnight to 9am, so once you get to 6am you're pretty much flatlining. So when he comes on it really wakes you up and keeps you going when my Red Bull and caramel machiatos have worn off :-D I really didn't like him at first (as most people tend to do) but I've warmed up to him a lot since then.

I wonder if it occured to him to wonder if Christine ever thinks when she looks at John "how did I ever bang this guy?" now he's got a bit more condition on him? Or if Stevie ever thinks about Mick "how did I ever bang this guy" now that he's bald?

Or can those sort of thoughts only happen to men?

Yeah, it seems to be ingrained in society that a man can stay attractive, or get *more* attractive, as he ages, but the same is not true for women. We get older, we get heavier, we go grey, things sag a little...while the same things happen to a guy and he is said to look 'distinguished'. hmmph.

FWIW I still think Mick and John look adorable. Frankly IMO Mick looks better than he ever has, I find him pretty sexy these days.

I'm personally not attracted to Mick per se, but I do think he looks great (and I'm 25). Sure, I'd be interested to see him without the ponytail, but it's "so him" and I know he'll never change it so I can deal. I don't know why everyone ranks on his appearance so much...I was astounded to see what good shape he's in when he took of his shirt in Destiny Rules. Even my boyfriend said "How old is he?! He looks great for his age!" He definitely looks better than ever. Amazing what a "clean" lifestyle and chasing around twin babies can do!

According to Howard, it's only men, lol. Figures that today is the day I called in to work today so I missed my usual a.m. Howard drive.

I've heard him briefly mention Mac & Stevie a few times in the past, usually talks about how hot Stevie was back in the day. And always positive stuff about thier music. It would be so great if Mac would go on Stern, but I'm sure they never would. I can only imagine what La Nicks thinks of the show

Do you not know what type of show Stern's is and who his target audience is?

diamondsnake · #10 09-17-2004, 03:36 PM

How dare he say that about Stevie???!!!!

Okay, I am not going to go crazy but I mean for a woman pushing 60, Stevie is hot, hot, hot! Sure, some of the candid photo's of the tour aren't that flattering but she looks stunning on the Live in Boston DVD.

I don't care what type of show he does.

His target audience would appear to be a bunch of mysogonist morons.

I know this wasn't your point, but I believe he already balding when they were together?

I just have to say that I think Stevie looks great for her age and what she has been through. If I can look half that decent at her age then I will be very happy. She has that something about her that she can light up a room with a smile. She is beautiful with or without makeup. She also looks way thinner without those gawdy dresses on. In the Destiny Rules video you can tell she isnt heavy at all but when you see her on stage she has so many layers on that it adds weight. She could be a size 2 or a size 22 and she still would be hot to me. I also have to say that I think Debbie Harry looks terrible. I dont think she has aged nearly as well as Stevie. I dont know what it is but she scares me to see her now.

Bald guys can be totally hot. Mick doesn't do anything for me, but hair does not make the man.

This had me cracking up, too funny! I once heard Howard say that Stevie was big but she knew how to dress for her figure so he'd still bang her. This was back in the Dance days.

I was anti-Howard for a long time until I heard that he was speaking out about Bush and then I started tuning in again. If I don't like a topic I just turn it off. Usually it just cracks me up but some things are just too much.
