Which year was this? And that's an amazing surprise. I love Rick Vito.

I think it was 1998.

Feeling old, now.

Anyway, I heard FWIW when I was at the pub down the street Monday night. Yikes! It's an iconic song from the '60s that everyone knows and her version wasn't good. It reaffirmed my theory about why she didn't make an album with Lindsey and Christine (she wouldn't have compared favorably, hurting her image) and my conclusion that it was absolutely for the best.

Are you going to hit the OHIO show with Billy? That should be pretty cool. They can fit about 80k for a show there?

It was probably 94, I’m pretty sure Rick wasn’t in the Enchanted Tour band.

I was talking about Bonnie Raitt.

I’m on the fence. I have a hard time imagining Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks playing at Ohio Stadium. It seems unnatural. Plus, I’m not a fan of Billy.

Ohio Stadium is a sacred place for me. I literally have instructions in my will to have my cremains spread in the Olentangy River right across from Ohio Stadium. Ohio State football is my religion and I’m not missing Ohio State football just because I’ll be dead.

So, seeing two 70s/80s icons there doesn’t especially excite me.

I'll mix your ashes with Woody Hayes and then throw them in the Olentangy.

... And John Cooper... :laugh:

It may be better than seeing The Stones and Kid Rock there. Billy will probably do Hang On Sloopy.

You could leave after Stevie’s set. It’s only one song less than her solo show.

Waddy, drummer, and bassist, okay.

But Waddy, drummer, bassist, two keyboardists, another guitarist, stacks of computer chips, three dancing girls, and a backdrop of pre-Raphaelite models and flying birdies?

But with Prince on the big screen!

If I had to swallow anything, I'd take a Lindsey and Mick project, but I hope that doesn't even happen. Because it's over. Let it go. Stick a fork in it.

Agree completely. Even after Mick's "line in the sand" comment, Wikipedia refuse to let anyone edit their Fleetwood Mac page to put the band in the past tense and insist on listing Mick/John/Stevie/Mike/Neil as the "current lineup".

I tried to edit it and got argued down by senior editors.
