Fleetwood Mac is not really political. In 1995 Christine McVie went on the record in her online chat interview (gosh remember when online chat was something) and stated she would have never voted for Bill Clinton. But she was honored that a president would use her music. That is a class act! How many artists today would say the same thing. I remember in 2008 when they played Heart's Barracuda at the GOP convention (Sarah Palin was called Barracuda by her college basketball team) and Heart instantly told them to never play that song again.
When Hillary Clinton invited Fleetwood Mac to the White House in 2000 to perform, Christine McVie declined but the band still went on to play Don't Stop.
Their song was played in a political campaign but I don't make that leap Fleetwood Mac is political. They did get involved in the 1980 Senate campaign of Birch Bayh but that was because the senator helped the Mac on something.
As for the song Don't Stop. Its incredible. Its a terrific piano shuffle that was taken to another level with Lindsey. Still to this day, I turn it up on the radio. That song has helped me emotionally through many different hard parts of my life.
The songs I would skip on a FM album? Caroline and Welcome to the room Sara. And Hard Feelings from Behind the Mask LMAO
