Wow, I get the complete opposite from Richard. He seems to be reaching out to the fans in a genuine, meaningful, and substantive way that NO ONE in the Fleetwood Mac world has ever bothered to do. He's been so incredibly generous with his time and money. He's given away thousands of dollars to fans he's never met through his blog, provided us with dozens of unseen pictures, and given us an intimate insiders look at the band we've never experienced before. I never, ever expected his blog to last more than a couple of months, and yet he seems to be determined to keep going despite some truly insulting, crazy people. While I think it's true he's probably doing this blog as a personal catharsis as well as for the fans, I certainly respect the hell out of the man for being as candid and generous as he has.

Thank you. I think Richard is tops. My condolences to Mick and his family on the loss of Biddy. This has got to be a rough time for him. Stay strong Mick. We need you.

I sure hope Mick allows himself to take some time off. Dealing with the loss of a parent is devastating. If he doesn't, he'll certainly regret it.

Here, here. Richard seems to have to repeatedly point out to rather rude people that he is not doing this for any fame or fortune. He has been very accommodating and kind and fair.
Poor Mick and his family and extended FM family. 98.5 years is a wonderful lifetime, but it still is his mom. It would be very hard for all of them. He's had a rough week, I hope he takes some time for himself and those around him who love him. We all love him, that's for sure.

I suspect she was cremated for some reason, and there won't be a funeral/service until after the tour. I could very easily be wrong.

RIP to Mrs. Fleetwood. My condolences to Mick and his family. She seemed like a lovely lady.

My condolences to Mick and his family. I am sorry for their loss.

The Kool Aid is why I've shied away a bit in recent months...and you're totally spot on.

If I don't meet you, Obie, and Chili before I die, my life will have been wasted. Seriously.

You should all fly in for one of our mid-west Ledge fests!!!(yeah, it's only like 5-6 of us, but that's because we don't like anyone else!) ;)
