Yep, something crummy happened, whatever it was. After
Tusk and the tour, Fleetwood Mac lost its enthusiasm for group music-making. The whole dynamic was fractured from that point on. Everything the group did after that probably felt like a chore for each member. “Fleetwood Mac” became a day job for them, hobbled by inertia and “don’t-give-a-f***”
Those musical comparisons to the Beatles in Rolling Stone in the seventies were totally apt. Fleetwood Mac fractured the way the Beatles did, with a lot of the same mood states damaging the pretty group picture. When the members of a band all wish they were elsewhere, that’s what you get.
