We love the band that is Fleetwood Mac and we simply do not, at all, care if our opinions and ideas are chunnell'd into a focus group page, blog like
http://www.fleetwoodmacnews.com
Because, we know that we can influence and shape the debate about the people in that band - the Mac, because, we love their songs, because we want a new Fleetwood Mac album; we want a Tour DVD, we want a retrospective and a proactively filmed DVD Documentary.
We do, yes, want a film of and by the fans like Fleetwood Mac: The Fans' Film
or similar to Veronica Mars the Movie.
We can, should and possibly would put our money where our mouth is and vote with our feet if there never is any new songs!!!
We are a federation of the Fans, across all of the parts of the world. We love this band, and we hope and pray for their best health and also their prosperity.
We know that as the fanbase, we shape what and when they do their thing. This tour has spread like wild-fire from the west to the east from USA/CANADA to the United Kingdom/European Union and shortly over back to Oceanic District, oh, I mean Australia/New Zealand.
And naturally the ones who disagree with that power, or that union of love for great music --- of course they can and will try to Shut Us Down.
It will
It Takes Time
and their is a Miss Fantasy in the group.
There is a time waster, or procrastinator.
There is talk on the town; that she might go solo.
There is word on the street that she might be leaving out the "back-door". There is a man who really does hope, pray that Secret Love, was not on his tape.
I know because I am a good, loyal fan.
So, tell me, if there are any promoting people or marketing gurus lurking here on the Ledge.....why kick your fanbase when the chips are going up, up and all the way further up?
Does, someone think she is a Republican when she started out a Democrat?
WTH
is going on in the collective consciousness of the business and the group of players and one silly singer that, y'know owes it all to Mick, John and her supposedly best pal Christine McVie?
Angel Face should put two and two together, get four and realise 80% of a full record album has already been done. She needs a minimum 3 preferably 5-6 songs, new off the boat.
I know I read on a fan site that there was one called My Mothers' Rings.
Another, Carousel, supposedly.
Another, Belle Fleur (oops -- went solo on that one big time!)
This is, was and remains a big rude middle finger to Mr Buck, John and possibly Mick for roping her back in after Say You Will in 2009 but especially! Especially in 2013 ... it is just so clear that was book-marked for her solo S.N. time.
I am sorry to the chiffon heads.
I am sorry to the Bucks.
But ....honestly, you know who is losing??? Mick and John, the backbone of the great band who have half the touring revenue of all three songwriters.
That is the great travesty. The great leverage is that Mick and John own the Intellectual Property to the band's name " Fleetwood Mac". Still, it is a shame and remains a great betrayal by the one person who felt like she was never meant to be on the Fleetwood Mac bill. (Payroll)

So...quite seriously?
Giving her, Stevie, the flick, is simply a matter of course for the Band Manager-ex Mick F.
But, but, but I must add this very subtle disclaimer, that he is too
nice as is his friend, the bassist ... to kick someone out of a business that returned so much to their hip pockets.
Buckingham has paid his dues with guitars blazing, producing Tusk, producing Tango in the Night, while Stevie saunters in at the end of the day as she did with Say You Will.
I've had 6 months rest from our Tour now. I was on rest. You don't want my voice broken on the record tape, do you?
NO!
Okay, good. Thank you, come again.
"She can't just come and go" sounds familiar, doesn't it? Christine retired rather than flipping a coin to hedge her bets on Dave Stewart, Dave Grohl, Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry etc, HAIM and so on and so forth
Stevie wants to nuture young talent while doing nothing to help the very four, and one in particular, who is very open and honest always.
Lindsey.
Naturally, it is the extreme rude finger to be up on stage rolling in your pay cheque whilst still.....you know...."she can't just come and go".
WELL!! Lindsey, maybe she can and always did, always has and always will ?????????!!
Sounds like a very shady, comfortable arrangement of business order to me.
Very, very comfy.
Not at all adulterous, just sleazy, sly and twice as cruel as any song Mr Buck ever wrote.
I was a Stevie fan but I have flooded over to Lindsey who is just so much more gentle, kind, caring and warm in his songs/music.
Lindsey would give his mate a hug; Stevie would sooner kick her Mates while they are down and her chips are up, up,up.
BUT THAT REALLY DID, DOES AND SHOULD BE ON THE RECORD
