Fleetwood Mac in June's Q magazine

I don't think I saw this posted yet, but FM is in the June Q magazine. They have an awesome Rumours outtake that takes up an entire page:

COOl PIC! I've never seen it before.

I had to look at it twice, I thought Mick's hand was on Stevie's boob for a second :laugh::laugh:

I'm confessing to something that will have my FM-fan-for-life card revoked.

I hate the pictures from that photoshoot. Every last one of them.

The top hat, the ballet poses, the click-clacks Mick is wearing, the bizarre Rasputin look he's sporting. Everything.

Although, now that I'm looking at it, this one is slightly better because Stevie looks like she's about to hurl that crystal ball right in the direction of Mick's previous collection of circular stuff, and that adds a fun element.

There. I feel so much better now;-)

Someone should have told Mick to lay off the cocaine and eat a few McDonalds.

I don't see that as a problem now. He's not skin and bones as he used to be.

I like the picture. Thanks for sharing. My favorite picture from that photoshoot is the Rumours cover itself -- what a classic.

I don't think Stevie or Mick ever looked better, or more "in character." I guess I can see where someone could find it hokey though, and I totally respect your viewpoint. :woohoo:

Maybe it's the Stevie-Mick thing that I learned about later in life and never truly could wrap my brain around. Or maybe I'm just weird. Which is probably the best explanation;-)

But the Rumours cover is one of the first images I ever remember seeing of Stevie so maybe that is why I am so fond of it :D I need to go to the bookstore today and see if I can find this mag.....

And he's been complaining about his weight during the concert lately, which is funny to me, because it didn't just creep up on him. It's been there for a few years.

I don't even like the yellow-ish color of Rumours, but I love the cream/whiteness of the White album. . .

I know what you mean. The yellow looked age, in a way. But I have to say that over time, my White and my Rumours look quite similar in color, which is another reason why I think if you are a fan, you should have one to play and handle and one to store in mint condition.

Lindsey on being told that Stevie and Mick were having an affair:

Quote:

"They made a big production of coming over to my house, the two of them," he recounts. "'Lindsey, we're seeing each other'... Yeah? So? That's it? There were other things that bothered me about being around Stevie way more than that. I'd already let go of the fact that she was sleeping with other people... It was just one of those things where there was an environment of promiscuity and they got their rocks off for a short period of time and then got bored. That's the way I see it."

Now, I'd have a few follow up questions that this journalist apparently didn't ask! One of them being: WHAT was it that bothered Lindsey about being around Stevie more than her packing up, shacking up with other guys?

Thank god. Looking at his stick legs in the 70's made me want to tie him down and force feed him burgers for a week.

Who is on the cover? Looks like I'll be making a trip to Barnes & Noble.

Noel Gallagher from Oasis is on the cover. I looked for it today but the May issue is still on the stands here.

Livia

06-03-2009 04:01 PM

Yeah, it usually takes them until nearly the end of the month to get that month's issue on the shelves here.

Yay!

That Lindsey quote is interesting. I thought Mick told him by himself. I didn't know it was a two-person production.
They all keep changing their stories around.

And by the time Lindsey was told, it was almost over, anyway, right?
Maybe the fact that he didn't seem to care took away all the allure. (That, or the fact that Mick looked like he washed his hair about once every six weeks back then).

It's even more frightening in full size. :laugh: I forgot I had it and nearly jumped out of my skin when I was flipping through my albums.

I wonder what it was that made Stevie want to work with Lindsey again, since apparently she'd "vowed to never work with him again."

Thanks for scanning those, Shel.

I wonder whether "Never Going Back Again" & "Silver Springs" were both about the same situation -- some girl Lindsey dated on the road in 1975 or so.

Checking my tour dates for '75, I see only the Landover show in October & an earlier Landover show in August (which might be an erroneous listing). It's a sobering thought to think that that video we have is the same town Stevie walked in on Lindsey & new girlfriend in a hotel room!
