You have to subscribe to read the whole article, here's the snippet I got:

Intersection of Hollywood and Vines
Wall Street Journal (subscription) - New York,NY,USA
... you know a trend is coming ashore, so consider this: Costco will soon be carrying a line of wines with Mick Fleetwood, drummer and co-founder of Fleetwood Mac. ...

Part of me is the nerd collector, eager to get my hands on a few more bottles. The other part of me is like "oh man...COSTCO?!?!?!" Are you kidding me??? lol

:o :o :o Mick is a wh*re, and has been since his first bankruptcy.


That man would do ANYTHING for a buck.....:D

Well crap. I don't know anyone with a Costco membership :(

Where is Costco? Out West? We don't have them around here. We only have Sam's Club.

Hmm..must be west thing - because come to think of it I've not seen any Costcos out here either :shrug:

And it's basically the exact same thing as Sams Club - except they probably don't sell the Walton brand or whatever it is...

This reminds me of bands sinking to the casino level.:laugh:

We have Costco's here in the UK. Wonder if it will end up over here too?

Another article - mentions the toad - I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit, seeing his name again... you've been warned...

I am picturing Mick in a paper hairnet/cap, passing out samples to people with 5 gallon jugs of mayonnaise, and 4 pound blocks of cheese in their extra-wide carts.
Of course, I have a Costco membership, and I will have to swing by his sample table. My cart will be full of junk food I like to pretend is better: a case of Annie's mac and cheese, and ten yards of fruit leather.

Ooph, that stuff is rough.
