As for La Nicks - again, I am unsure I would have been as loyal as she was esp. considering they really treated her poorly or at least with condescending tones a la the un released Tusk doc. footage.

But, yes, La Nicks efforts did take away from time when FM could have been doing somthing. I am just saying she was not alone in taking time for herself.

And, I wasn't laying 100% blame on her...just 50%. Lindsey gets the other half. The only reason Mick & Christine even dabbled in "solo" careers was out of necessity of musical expression rather than a "grand scheme". I'd say only Mick's The Visitor project was the only real planned project he had...the I'm Not Me album was done out of "waiting" for the band. Which also must've been really frustrating, since Lindsey participated in both Mick's & Christine's solo albums at the time. If he had the time for THAT, why didn't they just do Fleetwood Mac album?
