thanks you guys, and I agree that it changes her statement from what I thought she was saying. I still think my question of her tact still stands though.
I think phrasing it the way she did, "They never let me . . ." gives this image of her being controlled by the rest of the band. Or that she has suggested that they play GDW for a longer time and was told "NO". She could have said, "we never play it that long in fleetwood mac, that was fun" or something without the dig.

maybe instead of tact I would say that she had a lapse in taste.
Yes she was excited and full of blow so I will cut her some slack. But it seems that this was how she rolled with her public statements. I can't think of another good example right off though (no, i am not full of blow
) Actually Michele gave us an example from the say you will tour.

right - she could have said "i wanted to do this song for many years, but the time just wasn't right. Now it is." or in someway that doesn't seem to be poking at the same people she is on stage with. lol
but then again, maybe she is just playing up the "conflict" in the band because it's what people expect at a fleetwood mac show.
