LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I SAW THE BEST CONCERT OF MY LIFE LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS FLEETWOOD MAC. never before as an audience member has a band given so much to me. i went to this show in the pouring rain and heavy wind outdoors at mount smart stadium with my parents, my big green raincoat buttoned up to the chin and pulled tight so no one would see me. my ears ached from the cold, and then mick started banging that kick at the beginning of 'the chain', and i forgot how cold it was. they were more energising than a hundred young bands i've seen. for over 2 and a half hours, every song was a hit. every song had a place in my heart, in the fabric of my childhood and my family life. i held my parents' hands and screamed the words. the band were completely musically tight - in particular stevie's voice was sharp and clear and full. STEVIE. how purely magical it was to see her in front of me, my crescent moon mother, in the flesh, all in black, her hair playing tricks with the light. there was so much love coming from the band directed at us but mainly at each other - I can't even tell you how special it was to see lindsey kiss stevie's hand, and speak softly in her ear. it made me believe what lindsey said about the making of 'rumours', and where they are now - that it was destiny.

love this soaking wet kaleidoscopic photo my phone grabbed during tusk. i guess that's what happens when you try photograph witches and wizards as they weave dreams in front of you ������

I love her music and she is a huge success. She could have used her clout for an up front view for her and her parents. How interesting that she just wanted to blend in with the crowd. Skip, do you know who she is?

The FM note is on her Wiki page.

It's nice to see these young artists and bands pinned down FM that influenced them.
