Hoping it's okay to post these here. Basically, sometimes when I have some spare time, I like to look at old Fleetwood Mac websites and the like. Some haven't been updated for a long time, and some are only available as archives. Because I like to have permanent, safe copies of information I can easily access at all times, I started collating some websites' information in the form of eBooks. I thought I'd post the links to them here. Well, the links to the ones I've completed thus far... They're not perfect but they might come in handy. *shrugs* Will update when I complete more.

They're all in ePub format which means either you need an e-reader or device capable of reading that format (an iPad, etc), or you can download software that enables you to read it on your Mac or PC:

Those tour diaries were so entertaining. Is there anyway to contact Cory? I know she has continued to work with them since. I really wish she still did this!

I don't really think she liked the public exposure. She always seemed non-plussed when someone recognized her at the concerts. I wish we had a diary like that for more than one tour. If she didn't want to do it, surely there would have been a crew member who would.

Does she still go out with F and Stevie? Or am I getting her mixed up with a blonde girl named Kim? If so, i'd definitely approach her. She seems so down to earth!

Cory wasn't on the Live 2013 tour.

Thanks for the promo! Yeah, at this point, it's pretty much an archive with a few updates once in a blue moon. No matter how outdated that sucker gets, though, I'm leavin' it up.

Created this today. It's basically as much as I could get from sararhiannon.com (via wayback machine) in terms of outtake/demo lyrics, and quotes from Stevie about her various songs.

It can be downloaded at my blog: http://buckinghamnicksff.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/ebook-sararhiannoncom.html

This is a fabulous idea, thank you for everything that has been shared.

I feel like I have totally exhausted the internet in terms of reading old but new to me Fleetwood Mac/Stevie stuff in the last year or so but all those Lindsey quotes were new to me!

Have started another archival project just in case information and quotes contained in these FM boards disappears in the future.

Contains the majority of threads from The Ledge's Rumours board in 2002, excluding those unrelated to FM or less than, say, three posts. Signatures, avatars and attachments do not appear as this is just the streamlined text.

Have included files in both .docx for Word and .epub for eReaders.

All that info and not one mention of Barry.

Still appreciated though.

Ah, my friend, there you're wrong. Obviously didn't search thoroughly enough, I must sadly inform you (ahem 27th May 2002 ahem). Though I grant it is a mention of *a* Barry, rather than *the* Barry... My apologies. Carry on with your justifiable disappointment that is our lack of devotion to your Leader.

I'm not sure how well Barry understands the written word.
But if he took the time to read through all that history and
found there was no mention of him, I'm sure his feelings
would be hurt. I suppose most would consider him primitive,
but does that mean he's incapable of deep seated feelings?
Especially towards Ms. Nicks?

The chance meeting with Stevie courtesy of Jane Goodall.
The banana incident. The resulting song and album.
The limo tapes. And then the apology. Like it or not,
Barry is a big part of her life. Ours too I suppose.

Apology excepted. Carry on.
