It's not that each one individually is so ridiculous. It's the overall effect, year after year, of Mick treating the relationship between Fleetwood Mac & its fan base like a giant yard sale.

I couldn't agree with this more (btw, don't forget the instructional golf videos!).
I see nothing wrong with capitalizing on the Fleetwood Mac name by marketing
Fleetwood Mac merchandise: live albums, DVDs, books, etc.
What I think makes Mick so sleazy is the fact that he tries to spew out things completely unrelated to what his famous for...such as the items you mentioned about (the drum loops being an exception). Does he think that fans of FM will go out and buy his wine or the sound system because he, Mick Fleetwood, has stamped his signature on them?
