I bet the bedrooms went totally unused as they drove back to their own individual houses every night.

Oh, I'm absolutely certain you're right! It never even occured to me that they would sleep in that house. They're all far to big of divas these days to do such things. Gone are the days when Fleetwood Mac confined itself to big houses in far away places to make sure their music was pure, and their work ethic was good. In come the days where they rent double digit million dollar homes where they can be lazy and spoiled without the nosy record company being around, then go home to their own multimillion dollar palaces only miles away at night. Hell, I guess I shouldn't complain... that's a hell of a lot better than a "hits tour" where they aren't even bothering to take new publicity pictures, much less record any new material to tour behind!!

I can't believe how everyone is getting their panties in a bunch over such trivial stuff. The tour was just announced, give it time. I could care less about what they do, because in my mind, they've been putting out albums fairly steadily for 33 years, so they can do whatever the heck they want to do at this stage in their lives. If you're not happy with the tour and the ticket prices, then don't buy tickets.

But they really haven't been putting out albums steadily for 33 years, that's the problem. Let's break down what the Rumours crew has released:
1970s- 3 albums
1980s- 2 albums
1990s- 0 new albums
2000s- 1 album
That's hardly steady output over 33 years. I think all of our biggest gripes stem from how lazy they have become ever since their super star success over 30 years ago. This latest announced tour is their most blatent cash grab yet, and I think that's why we're all upset. They're clearly not in it AS A BAND for the artistry anymore... they're about the almighty dollar. And that's what stinks.
