did anyone else listen to the Zane Lowe interview on Apple last week?
She mainly talked about the new single, but also touched on her work with Gorilla and the last Fleetwood Mac tour.

Yeah it was a nice surprise to hear this! Not much stood out apart from the bit about the new Gorillaz track, but she sounded happy and energetic which was very nice to hear!
She also spoke about Lindsey and his writing style without any apparent vitriol. I bet bridges will be rebuilt at some point.

I think the clock might run out before it can happen.

It's interesting how she talked about the last FM tour. She spoke high praise for Neil.
She said everybody should know that we were contracted for seventy five shows so we had to do the tour.
Then she said "When (the tour) was over, it was over."
Does that mean that was FM's last tour?

I think she did admit though that she was the one who wanted Mike and Mick came up with Neil. Even though Mick said previously that he thought of Mike first. But I never believed that it was anyone but Stevie

Wasn't there reports that Stevie was unhappy with Mike for not getting some of the guitar parts right? I thought somebody spilled the tea on that a while back.

LOL...that is some major back peddling from the "this is a new band" days.
Yeah...you were under contract for 75 shows and OPTED to fire Lindsey instead of even attempting to work it out. The dude flew to Hawaii to work it out and got the cold shoulder.
She's such a revisionist idiot.
I listened to the whole interview, and it was interesting about the new songs.
Especially the reasons for recording them.
Also she touches on Lindsey going.
But my goodness she never draws breath…
Nothing wrong with her lungs !!

I just listened to it as well and stand by my original comments. She's talking about the shakedown as if it went down exactly the way it did in 87. As if Lindsey backed out after 75 shows were booked.
Clue phone for Ms. Nicks - he won his case in court and sued all of your collective a$$es for damages.

She really is. Does she actually believe the crap she spews, or does she think we're stupid?

What new songs? And what did she say about them?
She really lives in her own little world and just adjusts stories to fit whatever narrative she’s currently selling.
It’s really starting to hit me how much age is impacting these guys. She has developed that lisp thing that I hear with a lot of older people. I don’t know if it’s teeth related or what but it was noticeable immediately on words like “summer” or “deceiving.”

Well most of her diehard cult fans take everything she says as the gospel.
It's kind of hilarious to observe because it's almost like the rest of the band (FM) has acknowledged what ACTUALLY happened, some more subtly than others and she's out there still trying to push the 2018 talking points fed to her by Irving.
Does anyone else call BS on When Doves Cry being inspired by Edge of 17? For decades she only told a handful of stories about Prince. The guy passes away and new stories are introduced every tour.

Seems unlikely. In fact, I think any connection may have been in reverse: When Doves Cry was released in what, 1984? And it wasn’t until the Rock a Little tour in 1986 when Stevie started ad libbing “I know what it sounds like when doves cry” to the song’s big jam.
What new songs? And what did she say about them?
She talks (a lot) about Gorillaz and the song Oil.
Also about . For what it’s worth, her new single.
Not songs that she has written….but both new songs nevertheless

Time does have a way of revealing all. Poor Lindsey. He was treated like crap in 2018-19 by Fleetwood Mac. Now we are seeing the truth through the lies coming out. It amazes me that Stevie thinks the fans have no love for Lindsey and wouldn't care that he was ousted. I always was a big Stevie fan above all, but after what she did, it's hard to see her in the same light.
I'm sure Lindsey is no saint, but after the tour fiasco, I really have become a big Lindsey fan. And I love that he doesn't lie about what happened. He tells it as he sees it. He should be the one to write the book on Fleetwood Mac.

I was always a Lindsey fan, but first and foremost a FM fan. And you're right, I'm sure he is no saint, and LOVED pushing her buttons. But for her to ruin the band's legacy over her selfish whims, RUINED THE ENDING OF FLEETWOOD MAC.

Indeed ..and it is the end .I believe that both of the Mcvies are done at this point. Anything after that with the Fleetwood Mac name would be an abomination.

Just like the Petty/ Crowded House FM... If Lindsey had passed away, it might have been acceptable. Her getting him fired ended the band.

The way Stevie speaks about the last tour like she feels she has to justify that they had to do the tour to fulfill a contract sounds like it's the end of the band.
"When it was over, it was over."

Her delusional narratives define her now.

Which is exactly what Chris said in that interview that she later got sh*t for and had to walk back.

I am still a Stevie fan and I don't see the band as tarnished because I think of them as a band comprised of different lineups. Nothing destroys the music that was created in each lineup. It can't be destroyed. I don't think there's any need to defend anything. Lindsey behaved as he behaved. Stevie behaved as she behaved. Actions have consequences. Lindsey got fired because of his. Tough ****. Stevie lost some "fans" and respect from "fans" because of her actions. Again, tough ****. In Lindsey's mind he will always be the victim and the true creative genius. Stevie will always be the victim and true genius in her mind. Mick will always need to find a way to make a buck.

That’s a healthy, clearheaded way to look at it all.
