Everyone in the drafty rehearsal hall would be chilled into silence, even Stevie's constantly giggling band of girl fans. And after the last shudder had died away, someone would ask, as the band members gave each other knowing smiles & got back on course, 'What was that all about?' I'd shrug & say, 'It's our anthem.' "

This is just a stupid rewrite of the exact same part in the cover story in Rolling Stone in 1980. Carol -- just like every other phony baloney plagiarizer & "adapter" who wrote a Fleetwood Mac book -- must be banking on the possibility that we readers never saw these articles back then, or at least don't & won't remember them.

Ha! That's too funny. It wouldn't surprise me at all if she didn't write it. Who's to say it wasn't the same situation as Mick's and the book was written based on old news clippings and the interview CAH gave while sloshed in some bar somewhere...
