Actually on this note of Mick knowing about our site, there's something I keep forgetting to mention: My brother in law worked for a hotel in NY, the hotel where Mick and partner etc stayed when they were in the city promoting Mick's wine (the Hyatt, was it? My BIL is somewhere else now.) My BIL- David Adelson-had a chance to speak w/ a guy in Mick's entourage, and told him "My brother and his wife run a big FM site--Marty Adelson, he runs The Penguin."
The guy perked right up. "The Penguin?! We love that website! We were just talking the other day about fan sites and that one was in the top three!" (I suppose this means 2 are better than us but I can handle that LOL, I know we don't update or market stuff as much as we could...and there are some other great sites out there.) So anyway the guy actually returned to my BIL later w/ a bottle of wine that Mick had signed-- "To Marty, love Mick Fleetwood." I should take a picture of it and show you guys, it's in a nice case in our kitchen above the computer, w/ some other FM stuff.
My BIL did meet Mick briefly, said he was a BIG guy, very imposing, strong handshake. So anyway I'd like to think that Mick know who we are...?
And on the off chance that Mick reads this, the Adelsons say thanks for the wine.

That's such a great story and totally random the way that happened. Love it!
Well, he did say it was
one of the top three, that didn't mean the other 2 were ahead of you in their view, For all you know they thought the Penguin was the top site....wouldn't be a reach to come to that conclusion
Yes, there are many other great sites but no other FM site has as extensive a collection of information as the Penguin.......that's just a fact!
BTW - I just read that Cath Caroll book. Not a bad book at all and it was filled with enough interesting information to make it different from the other ones we've read. I also thought her knowledge of music and the way she critiqued the tracks on Rumours and Tusk was interesting. She did a lot of research and the book looked at that time less from the soap opera aspect and more from the music perspective. She didn't harp on the romance angle and rarely mentioned the drugs.
Her kudos to you, Marty and the Penguin were wonderful. She seemed genuinely impressed at the vast amount of information on this site.
