Funniest thing I have read all week. And that includes CAH's book.

Was Mick disloyal for writing his book?
I'm torn on that one. It's one thing to write a book about your past and people you don't have any contact with anymore, but it's quite another to write a tell all book about people that you are still friends with and deal with on a day-to-day basis. Especially if said friends don't agree with what's in the book and you then years later even admit that there are some parts would require a rewrite.

It's amusing to me the amount of people who have slammed her for writing this book yet rushed out to buy it. Also people have claimed her book is full of lies, but there's no doubt the reason it took so long to hit the shelves is that the Mac's lawyers were all over it. I realise people don't want to think badly of their heroes, but this woman was there. Her view of events is bias but I don't see how or why she wouldn't be telling the truth.
In my defense, because I feel like I need to defend myself considering I am one of the people that thought it was tacky of her to release this book but also ordered it and read it, I feel strongly about stating an opinion without being completely informed. I could discuss FM and Stevie until doomsday, but I rather do it with all the knowledge I can gather on the subject. And well, I am not above admitting I am nosy also. I don't claim her book is full of lies, but I also don't take it as gospel truth, because there are simply just too many inaccuracies in it. And I certainly don't take it for gospel truth because I don't want my 'heroes' tainted. I would be the last person to put any of those people involved with Fleetwood Mac on a pedestal. I believe CarolC cornered the market on that. I had far worse images in my head than what I came across in CAH's book. Like I've said a few times before, nothing in that book surprised, most of it we already knew, so yes, it definitely passed through a few lawyers' hands. And I've changed my initial opinion towards the book.

What? I've already came up with a title for our book! It'll be a bestseller.
