Not to entertain this nonsense even further, but allow my to transcribe a passage from Mick Fleetwood's autobiography, as well:
I rang up Keith Olsen over at Sound City and asked the name of the chap whose music and guitar-playing I had liked when I visited the studio.
Lindsey Buckingham, Olsen said.
I told him I wanted Lindsey Buckingham to be the new guitarist in Fleetwood Mac, and what did he think?
Olsen replied that Lindsey was part of a team, the other half of which was his girlfriend, Stevie Nicks. They had a band called Buckingham Nicks and were very much a pair. Keith said he didn't think Lindsey would be interested in joining Fleetwood Mac without Stevie.
