I can't decide on this. David has some good points, but on the other hand, can't people grow and change and be busy and entrepeneurial? (sp). Do they have to be trapped in their band forever? And, why shouldn't he speak, as a founding member of one of the most successful and favoritist bands ever.
I'm thinking, on the other side of the argument, that perhaps these are things he is interested in doing, would want to do anyway, and that his status as a member of FM just enables him to do these things. We know he likes to talk in front of people, and he seems to have a genuine interest in wine as well. It doesn't seem entirely fair to sort of, limit him in our judgments. People seem to be talking as if these things he does are beneath him, or the band, or something. But he is a person besides being in FM. Shouldn't he be allowed to explore his interests, and develop opportunities he is interested in? And unlike Linds or Stevie, he can't necessarily have music totally consume him, as he is "just" a drummer.
I dunno, I understand the "selling out" feeling, but if he wants to do this stuff, who are we to keep him down? And I think it is kinda cool that he is whoring himself out to do regular person things.
I mean, he has other interests, and is trying to promote them - so big deal. Don't we always wish that certain other band members didn't limit themselves to being trapped in the "legend that is Fleetwood Mac" ?
Just saying. If I was trying to do some regular things to support my interests, I wouldn't want people to say if it was proper or not, because only I know what is best for me.
Who cares what Mick does? Besides if he was convincing the band to change up the setlist, which would be very important, I couldn't care less how he spends the rest of his days. You know, drum good, change the setlist, and f*ck all else. He's just a
person, who like everyone else wants to do what they want to do.
