Looks like he feels the same way as the majority of the Fleetwood Mac community, though... that the song just isn't so great.

Another illuminating tidbit was Ken's description of Lindsey's scorched earth way of doing things. I guess I didn't realize that aspect of Lindsey had begun emerging during Rumours. I cannot imagine the tension Lindsey must have created by either 1) booting John's bass parts altogether 2) basically demanding Mick play exactly what he wanted, and Mick doing it. It really piques my interest that Ken would again be this unabashed with his feelings- makes me wonder what kind of relationship he maintains with the band members these days, if any. I know none of the band members would agree to be interviewed for the book, and I'm starting to see why.
Are you implying that Ken has some sort of vendetta against the band? I don't think that is the case. Give him credit for not sugar-coating his stories. He's just revealing his un-candid perspective. To me it's refreshing that he feels no restraint from the band. The most illuminating observations don't come from the band members, but from those who are around them.
