It’s fascinating to note all the different levels on which you function here – the purse pop level of “Say You Will,” “Steal Your Heart Away,” “What’s The World Coming To” – compared wit the sonically surreal level of “Come,” “Red Rover.”
Yeah. But we’re not playing down to anyone. “Steal” and “World” are mine, and the title track is Stevie’s, and they all definitely fall into a similar category. And for me, I dunno – a song is something that you always think about covering. And as much as it’s interesting for me to stray into that unknown realm of “Red Rover” – and we’re working on “Red Rover” today – it’s interesting to do live. We’ve got three guitar players running through this vibrato on/off thing, and the on/off is toed into a specific click. And we have to play to that click or the timing’s all off, so we’re working it all out and it’s pretty trippy. But as much as that’s where my heart is in terms of pushing the envelope, and that “new frontier” kind of vibe . . . well, we’re a pop band. And those pop songs are always going to be there, and I would be very uncomfortable if we didn’t have some of those, ‘cause that’s where we stand. When Stevie and I joined Fleetwood Mac, and suddenly it was this big commercial animal, people would say, “Did you just decide you were gonna do that?” And my answer was always, “Well, no – this is what we do. This is what we like.”
