Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window
All that he could see was Babylon
Beautiful green fields and dreams and learned to measure the stars
but there was a worry in his heart

He said
How could it come to this? We're really worried about living
How could it come to this? Yeah we really wanna know about this

The great thing about Fleetwood Mac is it's sort of one stop shopping... all the different incarnations to savour and appreciate, the live shows through the ages, all the offshoots (Mick Fleetwood Blues Band) and solo works... guests of note like Waddy Wachtel and different producers of note... the vast umbrella that is FM has appeal on so many levels for me. I mean really, even the Rolling Stones can't compete in some ways which is saying something.

One thing, maybe the only thing, I can definitely say about Mac fans is their other interests are absolutely all over the place, which is only fitting. It's almost pointless for me to wax rhapsodic about say Davy Graham or Taj Mahal or Stereolab or Warren Zevon or The Roots here because there really is no 'Mac fans will love this for sure' possibility I don't think. Maybe like the old David Bowie song said, we dig everything? Like musical bears we are omnivorous?

Yes, we are indeed a very diverse bunch which I find healthy and exciting- great to have your eyes opened to new things.
Stereolab- wow! I can't proclaim to be a huge fan but when I was at university one of my house mates in Leeds played 'Emperor Tomato Ketchup' all the time, non-stop which has led to a mild affection. I think they recently dibanded (?).

Leo Sayer- I held him in such esteem as one of the sounds of my childhood. However, my high regards for him were shattered after he appeared on 'Celebrity Big Brother' in the UK (which I am always addicted to). I was so excited when he was announced as a 'housemate'. However, it soon became clear he was... well...sadly...a complete knobhead (pardon the phrasing).
Small-man syndrome.
I was so disappointed.
Still great music back in his day though.

Wow! I... uh, really don't know what to say. However, that "knobhead" remark gave me a much needed laugh!

Ain't he cute, no he ain't,
He's just another burden on the welfare state,
You've done too much, much too young,
Now you're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me

I caught the tail end of the 2-Tone ska boom when I picked up an LP titled Dance Craze. The Specials had some great performances on that.

The Stereolab albums I played over and over were Dots & Loops and Mars Audiac Quintet for some reason. It was very good to work to.
