Not sure my questions went through. I submitted "ask" but nothing happened. I don't have a tumblr account. Do you have to register? How do you see the Q & A session?

I'm waiting for an email back from him.

tumblr is another social media forum, like Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, etc. It allows longer posts than Twitter (which only allows 140 characters) but tends to lend itself to shorter posts than traditional blogs which can go on forever. You don't need an account to see what someone posts.

I asked him how he came to work with Christine, what he liked most about working with her, and other artists he enjoyed working with.


I hate seeing lame mindless open-ended questions such as " What's Christine like?" Or out of context questions like "Does Christine like Stevie's songs?"

You may not see a thing at the rate his response time is going :)

I hate questions like "Who are you?" They're insulting to the person and just generally annoying.

I asked him how he came to work with Christine, what he liked most about working with her, and other artists he enjoyed working with. I asked him about that 1984 documentary of Christine in Lake Geneva with Russ, Todd, and George and whether he could put it on the market for us. I also asked him how it came about that George worked with two Russ Titelman artists that year: Christine and Rickie Lee Jones.

I hate seeing lame mindless open-ended questions such as " What's Christine like?" Or out of context questions like "Does Christine like Stevie's songs?"A small portion of Fleetwood fans aren't particularly bright. The best answer to some of those comments is "Google is your friend." You probably remember in the old days when this site ran a whole bunch of Q&As with band colleagues. Most of the questions were excellent, but a few of them made you feel ashamed of your connection to the fanbase. I used to scream at Lisa Adelson in email: "Why don't you delete those awful submissions before they see the light of day? Why would you do that to your guests?!"

One person's great question is another person's dumb question.
But what would drive me nuts are those stupid questions. I remember one time listening to the Mac on Rockline. Their greatest hits album just came out. Can you imagine how lucky it would be to get through and ask rock legends Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks or Christine McVie a question? But there was one person who got through and asked Christine......what do you think about advertising?
Wha wha wha what? Chris did not even understand the question and was like.....you mean advertising the album? Well if you have a product why not?
This is what you would ask a rock legend if you had ONE question :eek:

I find that very funny!:laugh: I like your questions!

I was very dismayed and embarrassed by the barrage of low level/inconsiderate questions Richard Dashut endured when he had his interactive blog. What a class act. He was humble, sensitive, honest, and very tempered with his responses. As a fan, it was such an unprecedented privilege to get unfetted insight from someone who was so close to Fleetwood Mac. But it wasn't respected.

He was careful to never breach the privacy of his subjects, nor speak in their behalf, despite the tabloid-like manner of the many of the questions he received. People got upset and angry if he didn't respond to their posts, and they expressed such cynicism about his "agenda". His intentions were pure, yet some participants were such unreasonably demanding a-holes, seemingly in search of some smoking gun.

A lot of the folks that asked Richard questions were very classless. If he didn't answer their questions with an answer that matched their fantasy about what Stevie or Lindsey were, they would berate him. It was unreal.
