Fifty years ago tonight...
 

For anyone still counting, it's now half a century since Stevie and Lindsey joined Fleetwood Mac.

A historic milestone in the history of a couple of people we know and love!

Dear Lindsey, aren't you sorry you insisted on a package deal?

...and out of those fifty years, we got less than seven years of intense activity from that line-up, a little bit of recording for Tango and a couple of reunion tours. Such a shame.

More than a couple of people, I think.

I think she meant Old Goatsy and Lindsey???

Christine's original suspicions were correct. Another woman wont work in the band.

S&L joining Fleetwood Mac changed their lives. But actually it changed the lives of the rest of the band, too. And many people related to them, like Ken, Richard, John Courage, etc.

A shame to me that the last Fleetwood Mac release of new music was 11 years ago. I guess it's a miracle Extended Play was even released because Stevie refused to make a Fleetwood Mac album in 2008-2009.

But I guess 50 years ago, Stevie wanted to be where she is now at age 76, playing in front of 60,000 people...in the daylight opening for Billy Joel.

She most certainly didn't want to be a cleaning lady.

She wanted to be famous, whatever it took.... whoever's a$$ she had to kiss, whoever she had to sleep with, whoever she had to screw over, whatever loss of artistic integrity to chase trying to have a hit song...FAME. That was all she has ever wanted.

ah, misogyny.

Coz Lindsey was SUCH a peach to work with......:laugh:

Sure, he helped make hits....but his ego also took over and not always to the band's artistic benefit and certainly contributed to serious tensions in the band...

Recall facts-- the tension in the band right from the get-go was NOT between Stevie and Christine, but rather between Lindsey and John, and Lindsey bossing people around and not respecting them as the talents they are.

But sure, it was the women.:shocked:

Don't blame me for truth telling. It would only be natural the only woman in a band would be concerned about another woman joining that plays no instrument. Fleetwood Mac never had someone like that before. Chris was the one Stevie had to win over. Once the tequila kicked in everyone was friends.
Even Stevie called herself a house cat and she was only taken because they needed a guitarist that bad. These are Stevie's words, not mine.

Fantastic merging of two entities that had exactly what the other needed.

that's not what you said. you said chris was right that another woman in the band wouldn't work. Facts show otherwise.....the band became super successful with another woman in the band.

So whatever you said, it's not what you think you said. You said two women didn't work. It actually did.
