Spreading the FM Love

[MirrorInTheSky]

I know that everyone gets excited when you expose someone to FM material, and they in turn fall in love with it, so I hope that you'll appreciate my story.

So I've been seeing this guy for a week, and he came over last night to watch a movie. I figured that he needed to realize early on how fanatical I am, so I said "Ok, before we watch a movie, I have to show you one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac moments." So I put in The Dance and skipped to Silver Springs. I paused it and gave him the background. "The inspiration for the song was Silver Springs, MD...it's written about Lindsay, the guy playing the guitar...was left off of Rumours....yadda, yadda..."

I play it for him, and he was "so knocked out". He was like "Can we watch it one more time?!?!" I said "You never have to ask me that." So we watched it again. Then he begged to watch it again. He said "Wow! So they're like up there talking to each other?!? All of this is between them!?!" He went on and on about it, so then I whipped out LIB so that we could compare the performances. Then we ended up watching The Dance in its entirety, and now he's excited to go out and buy Mac CDs. Yay! Another convert!!!

[diamondsnake]

Good work!!!

[DrummerDeanna]

Right on - I love that - my ex was always willing to watch/listen and listen to me talk for a helluva long time about them - but he never got hooked...

It's awesome though - whenever I start telling people about them who know nothing - they are totally interesting and want to know more...or they're just being polite and not knowing how to get me to shut up :p

Anyway - you did choose and excellent moment to show your potential bf :D

[AliceLover]

I converted my 14 year old cousin. He loves Christine so much. Anything she does he loves. Especially her butt shakes(the only dance she can do behind the keyboards).

I've been described, by someone I dated, as an "icorrigible flirt." But i'm innocent, I tell ya. :angel:

And, by the way, Curtis knows I'm harmless. :)

[ontheEdgeof17]

Hey, I'm still single, Curtis. *bats eyelashes*

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:


Well, come visit, yo! ;)

[Johnny Stew]

I've converted quite a few friends and family members, but the guys I've dated usually already like FM/Stevie to some degree or another.

That's not a pre-requisite, by the way, but it is a plus! :)

[Villavic]

My friends love to annoy me about hating Fleetwood Mac. They actually love them. But they got oversaturated in 1997 when I played The Dance (video, cd, etc) everyday and didn't stop telling about the concert I went to NYC.

So they always tell me bad jokes about the mac. It's just a revenge after my fanatism, ha ha!! However they did like the Silver Springs performance from The Dance, and loved the killer eyes between S&L during the "neeeever get away". They asked me to tell them the story behind those two.

And from the Live in Boston dvd, during the Stand Back intro, my best friend found Lindsey very sexy. He think he still is very sexy or even more now that he is older.

I'm confused. Is Mirror a Gay guy? If so, no wonder he got a convert. I busted out 53 Stevie's a bit this weekend, with my straight guy friend,(that i sleep with sometimes) who is cool, and a musician, and he wanted to watch a little bit, but i had to kick out stuff that rocked. He was like "I wanna see the five Rhiannons" but i couldn't show them all to him. And after watching one, and a Angel live (with making of) and a REALLY high GDW, well, he was interested, but i wouldn't have called him a convert, and i don't know if he was being polite or what... :p

Honey, let me put that confusion to rest. I'm queerer than a three dollar bill.

I have ways of cheering you up... :angel:

Anyway, that's so cool what you were able to do, Mirror. I have been unsuccessful in my quest to convert my friends & family. Well, one of my sisters likes Stevie, but the other says "she is terrible." :mad: Stupid bitch. :woohoo:

LOL, it's a public message board, who cares who I was "talking to." You can answer/respond to my posts whenever you feel like it. :nod:

Anyway, yeah, my sis that doesn't like FM is 16, so maybe that accounts for something? At least I have a way of torturing her. Whenever we're in the car and she pisses me off, I blast some Stevie/FM. Muwahaha. :laugh:
It's the greatest threat ever. "Shut up or I'm putting on Fleetwood Mac."

LMFAO, out loud, again...course, the inclusion of "Muwahahaha" usually gets me. It's too bad you're sis doesn't like her :( sometimes i threaten people with Mac, too, but i'd rather not. I'd rather they would say..."Mac? Great!!!!!" but, alas.... :rolleyes:

Let's just say it involves :xoxo: , and a bit more ;)

[goldustboi]

...and my future husband. :xoxo:


I was kind of hoping I could be your future husband actually. Even tho I dont post mssgs that often, I like your picture (if that is in fact you). :D

Anyway, back to the original topic, I showed my housemate Rhiannon from Rosebud whilst under the influence of pot, after which she DEMANDED we watch it again coz she was 'amazed' by it! I saw that as my perfect opportunity to then watch Mirage vid in its entirety, although by the time Love in Store was on I think she was just a little bit bored. :shocked:

Awww....Thank ya much. I'll definately consider it. :blob1:



And for me to get back on topic.....I show my friends LIB all the time and play their music in the car. I've converted one (His fav song is WTWCT now) and working on everyone else.

[MirrorInTheSky]

Ok, so people are probably avoiding this thread like the plague since it's turned into "Gayfest 2004", but I have to add one more item.

So this guy I'm sorta seeing is a maitre d' at an upscale restaurant here in town, so my roomie and I went to have dinner there last night. The hostess has us waiting for our table with glasses of champaign when I begin to hear the unmistakable intro to "The Chain" from TD. Long story short, I got to dine my entire meal listening to TD piped through the whole restaurant. Ahhhh.....heaven!

Geez. I wonder what happened when Not That Funny came on? My friends ALWAYS made me fast forward past NTF.

You just made me remember a hilarious thing that happened in London. I was in Hard Rock Cafe with Seteca and another friend and it's hella ("Stop saying hella, Cartman!" LOL) loud, and all of a sudden, I hear the intro to The Chain from The Dance, and I go "OMG, The Chain!!" Seteca goes "How did you know that from like, 2 notes?!" I start headbanging, acting like a crazy fool at the table. I seriously need therapy. :laugh:

[seeker007nmss]

Who is on the 3-dollar bill? :D

[Serrart]

My friends already think I have strange tastes in film and music and for them FM is just another episode. I'm planning another of my slow but effective conversion sessions. ;)

Romy

[RavenOfRhiannon]

I seemed to have just the opposite result with my bf. When we were first dating (10 friggin' years ago this month!) I found a casette of Rumours in his car. I figured he must like the Mac. So I took that as a sign that I could just play Mac and Stevie 24-7, like I did when I was single. Now he walks out of the room when I do...

I start headbanging, acting like a crazy fool at the table. I seriously need therapy. :laugh:

Dude, that's hella cool! (CARTMAN!!) I always pick up Mac songs that way, my ex is a musician and he was baffled by it. In the middle of a crowded restaurant, above the din, I hear a couple of notes and get all excited and he's like, "How the...?" (Why is it so exciting to hear the music out in public when you hear it in private all the time?)

My current BF really likes the Mac, I got him into them taking him to the concert last year, we were in the 4th row. He was literally blown away. He loves the Live in Boston discs, especially Stand Back, he'll blast it in the car, it's really cute! He loves Taku's work on that.

However, I once said something about him liking FM in front of one of his friends and he wouldn't admit it, like he's embarrassed! I'm like, what the??? :shrug: But, at least he likes them.

[Dreammms]

Don't forget the SCREAMING at the end! Totally embarrassing. :shocked:

wow i find the screaming sexy :laugh:

but yes when i showed that to my friends they made skip to another song.

[RavenOfRhiannon]

Do you HAVE to be a bachelor?

[½ ¡Ñ§ÅñË ®]

Yay! Another convert!!! You possessed him. He’s officially owned. :nod:

[hypnotized]

Ive played Oh Well and Green Manillishi for friends. Most of them wonder what I'm playing. When I answer, they have this puzzled look on their faces. Most of them have sought out the early Mac stuff as a result.
