Some of the co-writes were them making greats songs from separate bits each she and Buck had written/composed. It shows the difference between Christine and Stevie. One is a hard working musician that has always put the band first and always willing to compose for band projects. The other is a narcissistic, fame hungry, pseudo diva that self serves at all costs. Even at the cost of the other members that helped build her fame and fake personality. |

I love all those songs, too. They are such good tunes. I don't even like Kenny Loggins that much, but those two sang so well together. And it's a great song. Magnet and Steel was played over and over again. And it was fantastic.

He does it all... sing, write, play, arrange, engineer Chris may've been upset with Lindsey then but she certainly let him "have his way" with her songs for the BuckVie album. |

Do you know what? When someone you have known since you were 17 and worked with for 50 years nearly dies and you don’t put aside your differences and call them on the telephone at the very least, then you are not still nice deep down inside. You can plunge the depths all you want. At this point in time it’s as shallow inside as it is on the surface. |
Putting this fine gem from Stevie in 2017 here. Such brilliant, eloquent and intellectual answers she gave:
Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie are about to release an album as a duo. It seems like it started as a Fleetwood Mac album, but you chose not to participate. I’ve been on the road [solo] since last September, so I don’t understand their premise. Christine was gone [from Fleetwood Mac] for 16 years and came back, did a massive tour, and then it’s like, “Now I’m just gonna go back to London and sit in my castle for two years”? She wanted to keep working. I will be back with them at the end of the year for, I think, another tour. I just needed my two years off. Until then, I wish them the best in whatever they do. Do you want to make a new record with them? I don’t think we’ll do another record. If the music business were different, I might feel different. I don’t think there’s any reason to spend a year and an amazing amount of money on a record that, even if it has great things, isn’t going to sell. What we do is go on the road, do a ton of shows and make lots of money. We have a lot of fun. Making a record isn’t all that much fun. |

From NME: “Being an ex-girlfriend, I wrote more than that. I said: ‘You’d better stay well and you’d take care of yourself’. Wasn't that so warm and comforting? “But we haven’t had any communication [since the letter]”, she added. “It’s OK. If it’s ever meant to happen, it will. If we’re meant to communicate ever again, we will. It’s not happening right now.” Checking-in during his recovery and rehabilitation wasn't meant to be. When he's ready to apologize for her mandatory cardigan uniform on the 2003 tour, then they can start communicating. |

Mick's even afraid to mention him in interviews. He's so careful about what he says. And has even admitted he's been scolded. It's like she owns all of them. Now I understand why they were afraid to call BuckVie a Fleetwood Mac album. |

Stevie the ever incredible poet, devoting as much sentiment to someone she’s known for 50+ years as you do to that person in high school who asks you to sign their yearbook but you’ve never said more than two words to ever. Her letter to him had as much depth as “have a great summer! Good luck next year!” |
I get it. We’ve been had.
I speculated early on after Lindsey “firing” if the whole drama wasn’t just some plan to give Lindsey some time off from “The Big Machine” to work on a solo album and save a crumbling marriage. Then—a global pandemic, a heart attack, and a pesky divorce unexpectedly delayed the game plan. The plan would also keep the band working and employ Stevie’s friend Mike after the untimely passing of his band leader. The ultimate finale would be a kiss and make up FAREWELL tour designed to send the Rumours 5 out in grand style. Unfortunately, age has started to kick in and the farewell needs to happen sooner than expected. We are “punters” and this band has been toying with us for 46 years. |

After all, they don’t call it the big machine for nothing! I got played in 1997 when, after a decade of musical meandering and innocuousness, the five got back together with a seemingly new maturity in which each member’s strengths were lovingly highlighted and all the band’s quirks were celebrated again by critics and the public, as in days of old. I was gullible enough to think that the reunion ethos would settle over all the band’s activities from that point on. But then Christine went and left, and Stevie trotted back off to the solo career (the career that was initially started to accommodate a band that wouldn’t record enough for her taste), and the others kind of stood around wondering, “What happened to our new dawn?” That flush of excitement and good will didn’t even last a year. I’m not certain that this band and its surrounding machinery engineer all this drama so far out into the future. I think what happens is that someone gets annoyed and turns dramatic and creates a sort of activity vacuum, and the rest of the team spills in because of gravity, and all sorts of hokum is disseminated to the press. Despite their reputation, I don’t think Fleetwood Mac are very resilient — I think they have always responded like a simple life form in a petri dish when you poke it with a small instrument. |
