Dear Sean,
I was one of the 10,000 people that paid to go to the St. Pete Times Forum last Wednesday and I just had to respond to your review of Fleetwood Mac. It seems to me that your snarky little commentary was more about judging and criticizing these Rock Legends' lives than it was about their music.
It was a great show and the songs were exactly what we all went to hear -- if they played anything else, we would have been disappointed. Those performers got up on stage and worked their asses off for 2 hrs. and 20 minutes -- they sounded instrumentally and vocally very much the way they did 40 years ago when they were in their 20s. It was a thrill to see Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and John McVuie and I hope they keep on performing as long as they can.
As I said, Sean, your downer little review was snarky, snarky, snarky and I hate to think of people reading it and believing it. Maybe your years at the St. Pete Times are what have made you such a negative, judgmental person.
