Christine’s made that comment, too. Touring is very regimented, more so than most would think. I agree it’s eye rolling, but I get what they’re saying.

LOL I think they needed it. We've all seen the clips from Rumors and Tusk--they were all out on the rings of Saturn. The fact they were able to put on a show is a miracle. Whoever their drill instructor was---deserves a medal of honor in Stevie and Chris' army

That would be Mick and/or John Courage.

They made 2 albums and toured twice in 10 years. The analogy is demented—as pertains the viability of Fleetwood Mac.

She didn’t want to give up cocaine or be responsible for loving someone more than herself (as she said “I don’t want anyone asking me where I am going or when I am coming back”—this dictum applies to motherhood as much as marriage).

In a capitalist-consumerist society, legalized abortion is de facto eugenics.

So on the bright side: The human race is spared the propagation of her vile genes.

thus, so is war.

I'm always amazed at how some people put human life on a pedestal and declare it is somehow more special or more important than any other life on the planet. It isn't. It's just a myth that was created eons ago by frightened humans sitting around the fire to say we are in the image of some fantasy god. We aren't. We're just mutating DNA like everything else on the planet.

At the embryonic stage it is just a growth on / in a woman's body. She can decide whether to have it removed or let it grow. It doesn't affect anyone other than her directly, and whomever she chooses to involve in her decision. One's life could be ended while still a bundle of cells, or by getting hit by a bus, or by cancer, or by an enemy grenade. There is no guarantee of anything. Thus, enjoy the life you have whilst you have it, love the ones you love, and be happy if you wake up again tomorrow morning.

Of course, I have no more knowledge than anyone else, and I could be wrong.

Can you IMAGINE the horrible child that $he would have had, had $he allowed them to happen?

And we think $he's awful...that kid would have been the worst brat in the history of the world!

Not only is it upsetting, it's unsettling. She's become embittered. Laying in bed with your dog while reading Vogue may just do that to you. Let's just hope Harry Styles isn't buying all of this nonsense. We know Lindsey is not.

Agree 100%.

I always prefer it when artists and forum members steer clear of politics and discussions about abortion. No matter which side of the fence you're on, someone takes it personally and we all go down the rabbit hole of discontent. Stevie's recent posts about Trump and abortion make me question her sanity even more given that she's always steered clear of political discussions. I do sense that she's somewhat of a Conservative libertarian though. Socially liberal, economicalky conservative. I'd prefer she and others keep me guessing.

[Dr.Brown]

Nah, $he has no genuine political philosophy. When $he name drops political figures and causes, $he's only trying to appear hip or relevant. $he is nothing but a greedy, old, narcissist who thinks the world revolves around her.

It doesn't.

I agree completely. Why would anyone obsessed with money(which $he obviously is) risk alienating half of their fan base?

Just STFU and drone your drone. Collect your check. STFU.

"Shut up and sing" was a gross, misogynist comment when it was directed at The Chicks, and the same is true now.

I would say exactly the same to a man. So there's your misogyny. DREAMED.

The child of Stevie Nicks and Don Henley?

I need a valium just thinking about it.
