I remember when
Rumours came out, my dad had the album and the 8-track. I wasn't allowed to touch the stereo. (I was 7 at that time). I remember the album with the "yellow" cover as being off-limits, and I remember hearing "Dreams." That was the "big people's music." I stuck to my Disco Duck.
My parents divorced that same year. So later on, after my dad moved into his apartment, I associated "You Make Lovin' Fun" with that time period. It must have been playing on the radio when he picked me up one day or something...but that memory is crystal clear.
I do recall seeing the "Hold Me" and "Gypsy" videos in the early 80s, but my first "on my own" Stevie/Fleetwood Mac moment was my purchase of the "Stand Back" 45. I had known about the Stevie witch rumour by then, but I don't think I associated her with Fleetwood Mac at that point. But, anyway, I thought I was pretty cool for having that 45!!
Then in 1987, I heard "Big Love" on the radio....and saw Lindsey pouting sexily in the video...and that, ladies and gentlemen, was that.
