No solo crap (from ANYBODY in the band) until Fleetwood Mac is dead & buried. As Mick once told Lindsey...either you're IN the band or you're not; it's your choice. Same with La Nicks.

Sure, they need a break after a long tour. Fine...don't spend the band's "break" doing your own stuff. Take a REAL BREAK.

Then once everybody is refreshed, get your asses in the studio & do a full-length album...make it the last one. Let Fleetwood Mac have it's big farewell album & tour...announce it ahead of time so we can all say goodbye instead of "oh, the tour's over, what's next for Fleetwood Mac?". No, one last album, even if it is a double, triple, whatever length, just do one last album, released with all the fanfare they can muster. Make every tour stop an EVENT, not just another concert in another town. Like the Stones...bring some guests up for a song in each town...bring the Little Big Town people up for a song; Lady Antebellum; Natalie Maines, Walter Egan. Stretch the shows an extra half-hour so you can play more tunes from earlier incarnatons. It's the last tour, make it extra-special. Crap, they've already lost Welch, Weston & Brunning...what's it gonna take? Yeah, we just saw what we thought was "the impossible" with Christine playing ONE SONG two consecutive nights. Ok, she wants to regain "the spirit of the music"...do the entire process, the final album, the final tour...then go back to your Shi-tzu's. PROVE YOUR LOVE...PROVE you'd "Do it all over again".
