There's nothing wrong with lving money a lot, we all do. But Mick takes it to the extreme where it's like he see's all of us as his cash cows and he'll do whatever he can do to make a quick buck. People like that sicken me and don't deserve my respect.

He's always tried to make money through the years and it's partially because he doesn't know how to manage finances for ****. After all, Fleetwood Mac fired him as their manager because he was so ****ty with money. He went bankrupt for making ****ty land deals and whores out the other band members so that he gets more money.

He wrote a book that was full of embellishments and lies, not because people cared about him, but because they cared about Lindsey, Stevie, and Chris and wanted to hear about them. So, he made money off of the misfortune of others. Nevermind the fact that Mick was one of the biggest cokeheads and what he wrote in his "book" was probably all fiction and lies. I wouldn't even call it a book, I'd call it "literary excrement."

Like Bob Welch said, as long as Mick has money rolling in, Mick doesn't care what kinds of people he gets involved with. He hired the likes of a certain Jonathan Todd and I think that speaks for itself.

Jonathan Todd has stolen money, tried to make money off of other people like the sweet Pip, he's corrupted the computers of people who disagree with his tactics, and he's trashing Fleetwood Mac in the process. And, here's the kicker, Mick Fleetwood knows all about it. Anyone who would argue the contrary smokes cannabis.

So, for those reasons and MANY more, I think Mick is a piece of junk. And he ain't the best drummer by far, either.

1. it could be nice if both you and eric would start considering some heavier thinking processes before you write.
of course the man is no angel, but on the other hand, despite what you may think he's one of the world's greatest drummers, he is the man who kept this great band alive through thick and thin for 36+ years, and like it or not, he's the man who's responsible to the fact that lindsey and stevie have careers at all.
please show SOME respect.

2. he's money hungry alright. yes, sometimes it's becoming unfair to us fans, but overall i'd say that his money grabbing is beneficial for most of us.
what can i say, usually i enjoy spending money on FM. example: i'll be going to see them in london pretty soon, and it's about to cost me at least 1500$, honestly, i don't really have this money right now, will mick be responsible for this upcoming overdraft? no.
this money grabbing can end with this wretched fanclub on one hand or Tango In The Night on the other.

3. the fact that i'm smoking a nice ganja as i write this, doesn't make my opinion any less valid than yours if you don't mind.
