Right on. What's odd is that we ledgies are the ones who keep hoping for those relationships to turn permanently Hallmark, as if the wisdom of age and experience makes you square your shoulders and be overcome with affection for your bandmates. So we read all the interviews and watch all the activity onstage, and whenever there's something sweet going on—a compliment, a smile, a kiss—we figure that's the long-hoped-for breakthrough in the relationship. But I think the rest of the world (or at least the rest of the world that ever thinks about Fleetwood Mac) isn't bothered at all by the cattiness, the insults (they're a little more veiled the past few decades than they used to be), the refusals to participate, the demands, the passive-aggressiveness. Because that's how people behave in real life—unless they're Mr. Rogers or Judith Martin. If I think of the people I love or whom I'm close to in my life, I could never be confident that I would never again get mad at them. We get older and more nostalgic for all we've been through, but we don't stop getting mad or annoyed with one another.

Well, I guess Lindsey banging on the wall is something new. But isn't it way more interesting to read that Lindsey banged on Stevie's wall to get her to turn Nelly Furtado down than say, Lindsey knocked politely on the door to ask Stevie if she wants some tea? It's hilarious and makes them seem like real people with a real relationship... Stevie seems obliviously annoying, and Lindsey seems (understandably) annoyed BY her. That's pretty much their dynamic in a nutshell.)

You're right: that is their dynamic. That's them. But there's something fishy about that story because I can't picture those two checking in to adjoining hotel rooms on tour. In fact, doesn't Stevie generally go find her own multiple rooms (for all her girlfriends), sometimes in a different hotel?
