True - but then there are these:

Yesterday's Back For Fleetwood Mac
"President Clinton is trying to reunite the country - bless his heart he is reuniting Fleetwood Mac - and we wouldn't miss it for anything."
That's Stevie Nicks, ex-member of the band whose 1977 hit Don't Stop, penned by Christine McVie, has become Clinton's theme song.
The five who played in Mac during its pop heyday will reunite to play that tune at the Presidential Gala Jan. 19 at the Capital Centre in Landover, Md. (9-11 p.m. ET/PT on CBS).
"We're all excited and very honored," Nicks told USA TODAY. "It makes all 18 years (in the band) worthwhile."
She admits it was tricky getting everyone back together - two years ago Nicks was not speaking to then-band members Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood.
"When they asked, it was a very touchy thing, especially getting Lindsey to agree. But I think everyone took a second look at life," she says, "and this is such a great honor. It is very endearing for someone to pick a song of yours as their theme."
Nicks is recuperating from sinus surgery and is in the midst of putting together a new album, but says she'll get on that D.C.-bound plane Jan. 17. "I've never failed (the band) yet. I'll die trying," she says.
Although she says Fleetwood Mac is not rusty -- "We could go onstage tonight. When you're together 18 years, those harmonies are just there" - rehearsals are planned in Los Angeles next week and more in Washington Inaugural week.
"For the president, we'll be the best," Nicks says. "He definitely loves music. I hope we meet him." Maybe she'll see him at Inaugural balls or glitzy parties while she's in town?
"I would love to, but we haven't been invited."
Hmmm. Are you listening Mr. Clinton?

Do stop thinking about tomorrow, says Stevie Nicks, eager to dispel rumors Fleetwood Mac's reunion is permanent. Performing at the Presidential Gala "was a magical moment for all of us," says Nicks. "(But) I have no desire for any further active involvement," including the band's scheduled Super Bowl appearance. Would she reconsider? "If the president should call again."

Mick and La Nicks and La Nicks and LB and LB and FM were all so in and out of anger at that time I am rather glad that any talk of a reunion never went past that stage.
Interestingly, during The Dance, Stevie is still aware of the issues because she talks about how she and LB are not really hanging out and that the time on the stage is the time they get to hash it all out, though she did say those efforts on all asides and from everyone made The Dance a pleasant experience overall, esp. the performances, which were great IMO.
