That said, glad he referred to dropping SS in order to serve the dynamic of the record, as opposed to the bs “it was too long” explanation that was bandied about for years. RUMOURS needed (and still needs) IDWK in order to maintain the balance between “up” and slow tunes, as well as the masculine-feminine vocal presence. Sorry SS—you simply aren’t a part of the real RUMOURS. Your time would come 20 years later.

Your first part is truth. His STORY TELLING is absurd. He only morphed his story to fit the consensus that Rumours was perfect the way that it is. Back recording Rumours, SS the way that it was probably was too long for 10 tracks. Like all of his stories over the years, he changes like the wind. He flipped flopped 4 times on Lindsey's firing. Mick just tells people what they want to hear. Dont fall for it. Even if you disagree with his decision, it would be nice if he had balls to defend his decision with honesty.
