It's just like the situation with the Lakers & Kobe Bryant. I can't believe how many people are saying that they'd stop being Laker fans if Kobe leaves the team. Kobe isn't the be all, end all of the Los Angeles Lakers, just as Stevie Nicks is not the be all, end all of Fleetwood Mac.

I agree with the first part of your answer- that there are clear cut Stevie fans no matter where she rests her hat. But the Lakers? I don't consider him the be all/end all of the Lakers either. He's not from LA at all, as is typical of most professional teams. He's from Pennsylvania. Eh. He should join the Sixers. In the end, I think we are merely cheering for the uniform.
With Fleetwood Mac are we, "cheering," so to speak, predominately for the rhythm and bass section? Fleetwood Mac is dead, yes?
