In fact, Keith says that it was Stevie's brother who paid Stevie and Lindsey a salary to be in FM.
From a Keith Olsen interview:
"'But the good news is, you know those two kids, who were they? Lindsey and Stevie? Do you think they'd want to join my band? Could you go and find out?' And I took 12 hours of constant pounding on them to try to convince them to join Fleetwood Mac on a trial basis only. And they joined Fleetwood Mac as a trial basis and they said they'd do it just for 6 weeks. Then they got better, then they found out that they were making money, just because her brother's paying their salary at 500 bucks a week. They said, well this is great."

Wasn't Chris Nicks like 21? How could he even afford that... why would he want to suddenly start doing that... why would he need to do that on behalf of Fleetwood Mac.... Why the freak wouldn't FM pay SnL themselves? Keith has given many other interviews where he said nothing about this - in fact, I've never heard it before, from any of the people who were actually involved, and it makes no sense. I think he must have been hitting the booze before he gave this one interview!
