According to Entertainment Tonight, in John Tesh's words...
Lindsey Buckingham has been dismissed from Fleetwood Mac...

Those were shocking words. In the very few seconds they
devoted to the story, replacements will be announced over
the coming weeks*.

*As in soon.

Sounds like a hoax. This simply cannot be.

You'd think if this was really the case, it'd be all over the internet by now, especially seeing as how big the news about Christine was. Surely an exit from the Mac would make just as many headlines...

This was 1987, was it not? Is John Tesh even on ET anymore? Is ET still on the air?

Wow you are a few years late in reporting that story

I do personally like that Mr Burnette and his good friend Mr Vito. I wonder if they will get offered the job? Do you you remember Mr Burnette he played with The Zoo I believe?

But I just saw it last night on TV!?!

I'm copying my VHS tapes to DVD again
and that was on tape 036. So technically
I did see it last night. You all know I would
never try to mislead any of you right?

Tape 037 is recording right now. I'm hearing
for the first time in a long time the Fleetwood
Mac maxi singles from Tango In The Night. And
just before that was the Stevie Nicks Uncirculated
Rumours 3 album set.

About Lindsey being dismissed, I had forgotten
the word dismissed was used. I thought it was reported
that he had quit the band. On originally seeing that report
on Entertainment Tonight my heart sank. At that point I'd
never seen the Mac. And after hearing that, I thought I never
would.

Was there a little bit of worry from any of you? I'd bet there
was. The approximate date of that tape had to be near August
of 1987. As there was report after report of the 10th anniversary
of Elvis' Death.

that's kinda cool to read, i've never heard before that they reported it as him being dismissed.

and wow yeah Elvis, 1977-1987...

re now, who would be dismissing him?

if you ask Mick (someone did, at one of m&gs), LB's the heart of the band right now, and the one whose lead everyone else in the band follows, he's the one who's trying to push them forward. so who would dismiss him these days? Mick? John? Christine who just joined and having a lovefest with him judging by all the interviews?

I'm sorry but did you just borrow Stevie and Lindsey's Word of the Tour for Their Relationship (aka 'lovefest') and use it to describe Chris and Lindsey!? I feel slightly put out on their behalf.

Also, I'm sorry but ALL the interviews indicated L and C are having a LOVEFEST!? By that, do you mean, one interview indicated Chris sent some songs to Lindsey and he was pleased with them and looking forward to working with them?

I also notice you left Stevie out of the list of people who you wouldn't think would want to dismiss Lindsey. Any particular reason? Because THEIR lovefest seemed to be pretty damn strong...

you've been so great in collecting everything and anything FM, not just B or N, so i'm pretty sure you must know even better than me what they said about each other in the last few months.

you know, mostly that one interview (or were there 2?) where Christine was talking about how gorgeous he was when she first saw him and having a crush on him in the old times and how much he's always done for the band and her songs? i'm lazy to look for the quotes about their present state of affairs but they go something like "he's a lovely man now" and "i always loved her sense of humor" and "the old chemistry of the 5 is there again when she's together with us" come to mind.

basically that one interview where Christine and Lindsey dispensed with all the mounting speculations how Lindsey is a dick yet again and doesn't want Christine to re-join FM. oh and where Christine said how LB was the one who tried to convince her to stay in FM during the Dance tour, riding in her limo every night after the show. that interview put a sudden stop to all the talk about the bad blood between them.

nooooo, really? he quit? in 1987? why?

Lindsey did say he was fired, sometimes. I think that amused him.
