For the first time in documentary history, I have some hopes for this Frank Marshall production. I saw his Beach Boys film and it was solid . . . you know, actually interesting. But I think Fleetwood Mac could have chosen an even better team to put something like this together. I also saw the Billy Joel doc AND SO IT GOES, which was magnificent on every level — as historical artifact, as streamlined and structured production, as insight into the artist, and as lengthy emotional journey. It was made by Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin for HBO, and it obviously had a crack production team behind it, which was given access to all sorts of vaults, and had writers around who built a narrative that was quite powerful — about Joel’s family life, his marriages, his parents, his tortured relationship with his dad, his studio achievements, his musical heritage, his tours, his rise and fall and rise again on the cultural scene.

If Fleetwood Mac gets even one-tenth of that care and passion from Frank Marshall, the doc will definitely be worth seeing.

If only it had been the Joel team doing this . . . .

As for any other stuff coming down the pipeline, a Lindsey solo album and a Stevie solo album and tour are about all. No Fleetwood Mac. However, I’m thinking that the psychobabble hints from Lindsey refer specifically to a single track on Stevie’s album (about ex-boyfriends) that will be produced by Lindsey or will feature a vocal from him.
