You know, I want to be excited about music, but I can't take the manufactured drama anymore. I really hated it in 1997, but it was cool seeing the gang back together, and Christine was still there.
My fandom basically retired with Christine, at least as far as this incarnation of Fleetwood Mac is concerned. I saw the last tour a few times, and enjoyed the shows well enough. A lot has changed for me personally since those shows, and I now find myself in a situation where I just can't get excited over a stale set. BTW, this rule also applies to Dave Mason. I saw him last year (first time as a solo artist), and he did about what I thought he'd do, but at least it was a free show.
Now, I'd totally go see Bob Welch, Jeremy Spencer, Peter Green, Billy Burnette, Bekka Bramlett, or Rick Vito/Mick Fleetwood's Blues Band. In a heartbeat. But the Lindsey-Stevie show just isn't for me anymore.
