Unexpected FM

[michelej1]

They're all over, but it still surprises me when I happen to be thinking about them at exactly the same time a song comes on. But since they are played probably once an hour at the very least on a lot of streaming stations, I guess it should not be a surprise.

Dreams and GYOW are etched into my psyche. I even hear them when other songs are playing with similarish lyrics.

Peter Green’s lovely voice:
Radio2 BBC played ....Man of the World.
Number two in the UK charts 50 years ago this week...

Number one was....Get Back The Beatles...oh my heart aches with memories.

Christine always talks about Man of the World. I love that song.

Just heard ..Albatross.. as background music to a M and S advert for
Rose wine...aaaagh.

[Street_Dreamer]

Rooms on Fire at a Black Bear Diner. (Do people know what those are? Basically a Denny's type restaurant.)

I went to one in Redding, CA years ago. The last real vacation I've been on.

[michelej1]

I heard Save Me in Albertson’s grocery store today. I recognized Christine's voice before I recognized the song. I had to move to another aisle in the store to hear it more clearly.

[Netter75]

Doing some temp work in a grocery store currently. Over the last few weeks I've heard:

Feel About You
Got a Hold On Me
Rooms on Fire
Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind
Trouble
As Long as You Follow
No Questions Asked
Talk to Me
Insider
I'm the One

That's Amazing!! I heard Rooms on Fire recently... Love that une.

Same. It's my favorite of all the ones listed, the keyboards at the beginning ripped my ear to attention lol.

I was super surprised to hear I'm the One... I know it was technically a single but I don't think it charted anywhere and it's certainly not well known enough/liked enough to make the average person's mellow ambience playlist :lol.

I definitely like the song, even if it's not produced very well or even particularly well suited to Christine McVie's voice/personality, so it was cool to hear.

[vivfox]

Miraculously, I just heard Peacekeeper on the car radio on one of those stations you can't normally get that only appear when it's raining. And it's only the 3rd time I have ever heard it on the radio.

Every once in a while, I'll hear Love Will Show Us How in a drug store or shopping center.

[jwd]

I heard "Talk To Me" in a grocery store tonight. Almost had to leave. But I just sucked it up and enjoyed it for the time it was. I would've posted this in the Stevie forum but I couldn't find anything current enough to post in and I was too lazy to look. So here it is. "Talk To Me"? lol

I like when solo works are posted here. I've heard Talk To Me in some really strange places.

I guess you can't Talk To Her now. :laugh: She will ghost you in the foggy wind if you even smirk.

“Tusk” is featured in the opening moments of episode 18 season 2 of 9-1-1.

Coming up: Rachel Steele to play as she said, "The Legendary Christine Perfect"

[jbrownsjr]

^^^^^

Well then she played SYLM... so false alarm. I actually got excited.

[Street_Dreamer]

Feel About You was playing as I entered my local mall earlier today.

Wait, BuckVie?

[HomerMcvie]

Wait, BuckVie?

It's pretty much the only Fleetwood Mac album I listen to these days.

[jwd]

It's pretty much the only Fleetwood Mac album I listen to these days.


I know. Isn't that strange how much of a bad taste Lindsey's firing has left in our mouths. And not just Lindsey fans, but generally fans of FM. I listened to BuckVie a few weeks ago and thought to myself, this will be the last FM related album that I'll have any interest in. Yeah, I guess you could say that most of the members that we've lost respect for are on it. But I look at it as what could have been before things went off the cliff.

I also got a FM fix, if you will, by recently listening to Bob Welch's 'His Fleetwood Mac Years & Beyond'. Icing on the cake is that it is one of the limited edition signature series copies! So pull out all those solo endeavors by Bob, Danny, and Peter to get through these hard times.

[Street_Dreamer]

Wait, BuckVie?

It was very surprising. Not as surprising as the time the local record store I went to was playing Billy's cover of Ring Of Fire many years ago but still surprising.

[jbrownsjr]

Wow!!

When I Comes To Love - Sirius Meg Griffin, deep tracks.

Got A Hold On Me (again!) The Bridge 8/1/19 9:43 EDT

[jeets2000]

Not sure how many of you listen to the podcast "My Favorite Murder," but a few weeks ago, they aired a live show from Milwaukee. During the introduction where the two women are just chatting before getting into their stories, they're talking about how the tour has gone and what traveling the country has been like. After telling a story about eating at a Cracker Barrel, Karen Kilgariff said (for reference, the podcast is hosted by Karen, Georgia Hardstark, and Steven is the name of their production assistant):

"So, Steven planned my travel, and Georgia planned her own travel. So we ended up at different hotels, which is super weird and makes it look like we’re Fleetwood Mac and we hate each other. Like, that’s what I would think if I was like 'Oh, she’s staying there, and she’s staying there? Oh, this must be bad!'"

Then later, when Georgia was telling a story about how she got ready for the show by putting make-up on in a Honda Civic on the way to the theater, Karen described her as the more "grounded" of the two of them. "You're the one that's grounded and real. You're the Christine McVie of this situation, for sure."

:laugh:

For those interested in tracking it down, it's episode 181 Live at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee. The Christine remark is around the 16-min mark and the Fleetwood Mac reference might be 5 or so minutes before that.

[michelej1]

I love it. It’s hard to know what casual fans perceive. We tend to read all of the interviews and histories. We know all of the idiosyncrasies. I didn’t know that everyone knew about the separate hotel thing.

And the Honda is like the old days when Christine was in the backseat, sitting on the instruments.

[vivfox]

Last night on the radio in the car I heard the unmistakable voice of Christine McVie singing a pre 1975 FM song. I had to Shazam it just to be sure. It was "Heroes Are Hard To Find." It was played on one of our oldies stations. They are always great at playing obscure things.

[Street_Dreamer]

Was shopping at my local Safeway yesterday and Save Me came on.

[michelej1]

Depending on your station you will hear a lot of Beatles, a lot of The Rolling Stones. Before they were blacklisted, I could not listen to a country station without hearing the Dixie chicks twice an hour. Stations are different, but forget the radio. When you are just walking around in the world, in the grocery store, at the hairdresser’s, in a restaurant, is there ANY band or artist that you hear more than FM? I honestly don’t think so.

I feel certain things when I hear them everywhere. Right now I feel sad, angry, wistful by turns. And I always feel quite proprietary too. I wonder how THEY feel, when they’re out and about and hear themselves all over.

There’s a street in Newport Beach called “Holiday Road.” I wonder when it got its name.

I bought 4 tubes of GoldBond Medicated Cream.

She does have eyes of the world.

[Villavic]

Does anyone else ever randomly hear Fleetwood Mac, find records or CD's or see them on TV?


I used to fly to US in American Airlines during the 90s and early 2000s. And, don't know if it was coincidence (2 or 3 travels per year) but there was always one Fleetwood Mac song in the rock/pop audio channel. At some point it was no longer unexpected ;)

Don't know if they include Mac songs nowadays. I choose other airlines. Latam sometimes include FMac songs, too.

[michelej1]

Heard the ad for FM’s upcoming California concerts this week. They list the members. Stevie’s name is first. Then Chris, John, Mick, Neil and Mike.

They don’t play GYOW during the ad like they did first time the new line I- tired here.

I must be out of the loop. I was under the impression besides the make up shows, Las Vegas was the only added show. What California concerts?

[michelej1]

It must have been for Vegas on my Los Angeles radio station. Sorry.

Loved Mark Goodman during the Fleetwood Mac Attack on MTV during the Tango promotion. I think we got a full weekend of interviews, videos at the top of the hour, and concerts.

Christine's singles aren't really ballads. SYLM, YMLF, Don't Stop, Little Lies, Everywhere, Think About Me, Over My Head, Love In Store, Save Me, Got A Hold On Me, Love Will Show Us How. As Long As You Follow (ballad) Hold Me, I'd Rather Go Blind (could be a ballad). But then, what's his definition of ballad?

Yes maybe. I also believe people confuse love songs or songs about love with ballads. Not all love songs are ballads. Not all ballads are love songs. This reminds me of my college logic class. True or false.
If some ballads are love songs.
Some non ballads are non love songs
Love songs are not always ballads

I don't consider Think About Me a love song. Although it has classic Christine love obsession in it. She's happy with the state of her relationship. So maybe it is a love song.

well.... not entirely. It's kind of a classic Chris theme of being in a relationship with a man who isn't treating her as well as she deserves. And during the Tusk period that was definitely Dennis Wilson. He was a known cad, he was totally unfaithful to her (which she knew and put up with. I get he was very charming, and possible very good in bed but....), he mooched plenty of money off her (even that famous heart shaped garden he had dug in her backyard she paid for because he had the bill sent to her.. .. even though it only got half done), got wasted and trashed her house (stories of him and his buddies destroying antiques and chandeliers and things) trashed her vehicles (didn't he crash her Rolls?).

I don't hold you down
And maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Think about me

You are so correct. Many of Chris's songs are love themed but not being treated that well from the guy. Even in the love inspired "Say you love me" she throws down the ultimatum of "if you use me again, it will be the end of me" Songs like Over My Head, Never Make Me Cry fit that theme very well.
Then there are those songs like Ask Anybody where she is torn between love for someone and the way she is being treated.

me too!!! My mom called and said "This new show on Hulu uses a Christine song as it's opening theme" and never in a million years did i expect PROVE YOUR LOVE. Wonderfully Shocking!

I Don't Want to Know on a rock radio station today. It sounded sooooo good.

Nope. I feel the same way about that song of hers you love so much, "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You."

[HomerMcvie]

Watching the Cameron Crowe movie, Almost Famous, and heard Future Games. I've seen it once before, but didn't notice.

[elle]

guess not really unexpected (The Killers have been a staple of alternative radio and still are), and guess not really FM but such signature Lindsey guitar solo - heard Caution on DC alternative terrestrial radio yesterday and was completely caught by a happy surprise! :blob2::blob1:

LB finally makes it with his current music to the alternative radio! :woohoo: :thumbsup:

[michelej1]

Nope. I feel the same way about that song of hers you love so much, "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You."

I can’t remember how I felt about the song when I first heard it on the album, but after having it in concert so often I have really come to dislike it.

[jbrownsjr]

Wow!! Safe Harbour. Sirius.

[aleuzzi]

Watching the Cameron Crowe movie, Almost Famous, and heard Future Games. I've seen it once before, but didn't notice.

I remember Bob Welch himself posting something about this on the Penguin site when the movie just came out.

[HomerMcvie]

I remember Bob Welch himself posting something about this on the Penguin site when the movie just came out.

Wow. And I've watched it like five times. But I'm always multitasking, so I guess I just didn't notice before.

Bob was such a good guy. I hate it that he's gone, and wonder if his health might have improved, if he'd just hung in there for longer. I was leaving Nashville(where he lived) the day he killed himself. I'd chatted with him on his site forum a few times, and always wanted to invite him and Wendy out to dinner(my treat, of course), but I never did. I felt like it would feel weird, that I was some stalker fan or something. I instantly regretted at least not asking him, when I heard the news of his death that evening.

I know what you mean. Bob was a good man and I was often tempted to visit Nashville just to try and catch up with him. I even offered to buy him a drink should I ever be passing through. He politely demurred...

[vivfox]

Some unknown artist to me, performing an acoustic rendition of the Dixie Chicks version of Landslide on the radio today. Well Maybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Well Maybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...the Landslide will bring it down.

[michelej1]

I heard “Maybe Love will Change your Mind” in a CVS pharmacy yesterday.

[jbrownsjr]

In Various stores and radio. I heard Little Lies.. not 1.. 2.. but 3 times yesterday. :lol:

[michelej1]

I was in Sprouts yesterday and heard Rooms on Fire and then I was there today and heard Every Day. Not the usual streaming.

[aleuzzi]

I was at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Rochester (they have outdoor seating) and heard "Man of the World" on the blues station they were playing.

[jbrownsjr]

I was near Palm Springs and the shop I was in had the radio going. I heard, "All 80's Labor Day weekend.." and then it went right into Little Lies.

It sounded so good hearing it on the radio.

[Macfan4life]

Yesterday on the way to work on Sirius Bridge, heard Little Lies followed by Bob Welch's Sentimental Lady (how cool is that... Christine on lead vocals followed by Christine on backing vocals).
On Classic rewind today heard early take of Gold Dust Woman.

[jbrownsjr]

After the Glitter Fades!! The Bridge

[michelej1]

This very second I am in The Cheesecake Factory listening to In My World. I want to shout to all the other diners and identify the artists for them.

So beautiful. In my world everybody stays.

[bombaysaffires]

I heard Go Your Own Way in yet another television commercial today. It took me a minute to recognize it as it was re-done by a female-sounding group. I didn't make it to the tv fast enough to see what product was being sold...but it was definitely a new version of the song and not a commercial I had ever seen before. Seems like that song is fair game and open for almost anyone who wants to use it... I don't recall hearing that LB sold his publishing rights (but maybe he's sold half???) and if not then he'd presumably have some say in whether or not to let the song be used. Maybe he figures by now the song has been so "productized" by FM and the zillion re-issues of Rumours that having it appear in a commercial doesn't harm the long-standing artistic reputation it has. :shrug:

Fleetwood Mac controls use of the song. LB gets money for it, but he can’t control the use of it beyond his role in FM.

You can’t take the money away from him, but you can take the control away from him. You know how that works. Think of Michael Jackson and the Beatles. McCartney couldn’t stop Jackson from putting his songs in commercials. But McCartney still got money from the use of the song.Meanwhile, McCartney owns the right to Buddy Holly songs and “over the river and through the woods.” He decides whether they are used in commercials.

As for GYOW, they are such embarrassing commercials. If it was for something cool like an amazing athletic shoe, that would be great. But it’s for old age medical products.

You can remember Lindsey talking about DS being used. It wasn’t a Christne decision, it was a Fleetwood Mac decision.

BTW, I think Lindsey still remains a member of Fleetwood Mac for that era, but there are five of them and if all of them have input then you know he can easily be outvoted.

From her solo album “In the Meantime”.

Damn, I thought they were only selling Lindsey's songs.

I guess they're hard up for money now.

Their ending just gets more and more pathetic...

Lindsey has probably made more money selling Holiday Road than the profits of all his solo albums and solo tours combined. That song has been in multiple commercials over the past 25 years.

Heard Save Me in Albertson’s grocery store. I wonder how they feel when they hear themselves. I don’t mean the hit songs. You can’t go through a day without hearing the hits and those don’t phase me or them.

But I wonder how it feels when they are out shopping and they hear something like Save Me. I feel proprietary and proud and as if the universe is speaking to me.

I picture Christine putting her groceries in the cart whilst Save Me plays over the speaker. She looks up and says, "Oh yea, I remember that song. It's from Tango in The Night. 1997." And then continues shopping.

Whereas if $tevie heard Save Me in the grocery store, $he'd be like -
"I gave Christine the chorus for that song"
"She probably was writing it about me, anyway"
"They'd be nothing without me"

$he was barely there for the recording of BTM. In actual fact.

$he was barely there for the recording of BTM. In actual fact.
That's because in her klonopin haze she got confused and locked out of the studio. One set of doors were the color of honey and one set of doors were pink and grey. She could not remember which set of doors she came from. Something more about a long hallway and her getting lost but found in time to record "Second Time Around" as the album closer.
And the rest is rock n roll history.

I want any wall of sound to be smooth. No rough edges showing. Starting and stopping a half second off from the lead sucks. It's distracting and sloppy.

Watching Eagle's rehearsals, I'm sure Glenn had a problem with this as well, as he'd complain about hearing "too many dropoffs", when they were working on harmony singing. And The Eagles obviously trump FM. :wavey:

I think pre their 1980 breakup, Glenn seemed to be a childish DICK. I watched the first DVD of "the history"(for the 100th time) last night. I can't stand young Glenn. He's completely self absorbed. When they reconvened in 1994, he seemed to have mellowed and grown up.

Of course I’ll give you that hug. And you’re entitled to your opinion.

But there isn’t one Eagles lp (excepting their two Greatest Hits compilations) that I can listen to straight through without boredom being only intermittently abated by the occasional stand out track. Even when FM was a non-hits band in the early 70s, their albums possessed genuine character. And there is nothing in the Eagles catalog to match the inventive, creative statement of TUSK, nor the near-perfect balance of RUMOURS.

To paraphrase what Mick once said: When you think of Chicago or the Eagles, you think of cold professionals; When you think of the members of FM you think of individuals...

Thank you, Tony.:woohoo:

I love Hotel CA and The Long Run in their entirety. And I also agree that early ~non hit~ FM albums were much more cohesive than early Eagle's efforts. And Hotel CA was nearly perfect as well, just like Rumours.

Name me ANY other major artist that pulled a Tusk? "Hey, we just sold 20M...I think I'll beat on some Kleenex boxes in my bathroom". We know who to credit for that. The guy that Stevie got fired...

Once in an open-air market in New Orleans, SYLM started playing over the speakers and I saw people of very different ages and backgrounds singing along. It was a magic moment. “I got goose flesh.”

Christine's songs have this energy that's hard to explain.

Christine's songs have this energy that's hard to explain.

They do, particularly SYLM and OMH for me. It's like there's a certain restrained emotion. I don't get all verklempt over Songbird, but there's a certain depth underlying even her hooky songs that pulls at me.

What's your point? That the English language is dead?:p

[aleuzzi]

They do, particularly SYLM and OMH for me. It's like there's a certain restrained emotion. I don't get all verklempt over Songbird, but there's a certain depth underlying even her hooky songs that pulls at me.

SYLM always excites me. The backing track is catchy and well-executed, but it's her voice, the pure joy of that low alto, and then the way the three voices mix in the chorus. I can hear that song 100x in a row and never get tired of it.

I enjoy "Songbird" as an earthy, direct address, a kind of homely and naked appeal to a lover whose beloved has seen her in the morning without makeup and still loves her for her unaffected beauty. But I do NOT consider the song an intense tear-jerker. "Why" and "Oh Daddy" are the weepers.

I had SO much hope for the new band with Billie & Rick when I heard this! And I agree, it's a beautiful, lush song. Sadly, we got the poorly produced dreck that followed. :eek:

I don't think I liked it as much then as I do now. It's such a beautiful song.

I even loved the video of them in a hotel and the couple playing around in the other building. I never could understand why MTV never played the video. Had to go to VH1 to see it. They played all kinds of adult contemporary Janet Jackson and other stuff but a soft song from a classic rock band.....nope. They played the hell out of Save Me and then dropped the band again for Skies The Limit. Had to go to VH1 again. Made no sense and it hurt promoting the band.

I saw Skies maybe ... maybe once back then. It was a rare video.

I hated the video as much as I hated the song. Sorry—it’s in my top three all time worst Mac songs. When I first heard it, I was crestfallen. I never thought the band would recover from the generic has beens I thought they’d become. And then, a couple years later, “Love Shines” and “Heart of Stone” blew me away. And the video for “Love Shines” is great!

A few years after that, I came upon Time and Out of the Cradle on the same day in a record store, not knowing either had been released. I remember hearing Christine’s voice and being so uplifted by the strength of her vocals there. The album was spotty and her keyboard (as opposed to the keyboard parts) was awful, but there was that voice, warm and smooth and very persuasive.

Out of the Cradle was a revelation.

But I digress...

I pretty much feel the same way about all of this.

[Macfan4life]

I love Skies The Limit both the song and video. The video is so cool in that its actual live footage along with the lip synced song from the stage at Red Rocks. I just loved the back stage shots with Chris and Stevie in their mini skirts.
I love Chris's keyboard playing in the song. Its not the most creative song she has written but I still like it. I really like in the video when all 4 singers have head shots harmonizing.
But the coolest part is the beginning showing Chris walk towards the limo in her white high heels and short skirt in slow motion. Chris is not the type to show skin but she loved showing off her legs on this tour and video :)

The only part I hate is Stevie's close up in the hat :eek: It was almost Red Rocks part 2 :lol:
