While you guys are doing that, I'll make a record, I'll put it out. I'll do a month of shows. And I'll be done, and I'll come back. It's never going to be in front. It's never going to be Fleetwood Mac. I'm the Learjet and they're the 738."
Wow, just wow. Nothing like paying respects to your colleagues' solo careers.
Lindsey had a few big hits in his solo career.
Christine had a big hit and did two solo records.
Mick had quite a few projects.
John even had a solo project.

Hm. Not sure exactly what you're saying. Didn't she start recording Bella Donna in the fall of 1980? I feel like at that point Lindsey hadn't begun his solo career yet (Law and Order came out fall '81 if I remember correctly). Mick only started recording The Visitor after she started recording Bella Donna, John only had one solo album in the 90s, and Christine hadn't released solo since '70 and wouldn't again until '84.
If you read the whole article, she was specifically speaking to what they were doing at that moment when she decided to tell them she was going solo. She wasn't sh*tting on their entire solo careers.
