Imagine our surprise when we got to the concert to find that Stevie was the woman and Lindsey the man. I don't think I've ever really gotten over the surprise.

Probably the fact that on the album back cover Stevie's and Lindsey's names had been swapped didn't help.
However the first time I've actually heard about Fleetwood Mac in high-school I also misunderstood that Lindsey was the guitarist woman and Stevie was the vocalist man. Thankfully after that I stumbled upon VH1 100 greatest rock band of all time or something similar and there one of the rockstar they interviewed said "Stevie Nicks was the most beautiful woman you'd ever seen" and I finally understood.
