I'm going to say this and then shut up...I really understand that Stevie is considered the main attraction of FM, and that "most people go to FM shows to see Stevie" but I'm honestly tired of hearing it. I'm quite happy being in the minority and thinking Lindsey is the greatest thing about the band, but I'm also very fair in my praise of Stevie at the same time. I find many of the Stevie lovers- like this idiot Perez (who is an idiot because he's disgustingly irrelevant and completely unfunny and NOT because he prefers Stevie)- to be absolutely unfair in their one-sidedness. And it's obvious because, from what I've heard, he only mentions Stevie Nicks as if she is the only member in the band, purposely misspells Lindsey's name, and if he says anything about LB at all it's either making fun of how he looks or mentioning how unnecessary he is to FM.
I've always had a different perspective because I became a fan of this band because of my love for Lindsey and his music and talent. I love the other members and definitely appreciate their talent, but I find it's really wrong at this point in time/history for people to be bashing Lindsey in such a way. His input in Fleetwood Mac is immeasurable. And he's incredible live. Just because some people can't see it doesn't mean he deserves to be slighted or given the "ego-stroking" quips. He puts on a show and delivers and, I'm sorry, but he delivers it to the max. And even if you don't like it, it isn't your thing, etc. you have to acknowledge that. And this cretin purposely chooses not to.
Perez Hilton isn't funny. None of the remarks he makes are either interesting or humorous. He's famous for crashing celebrity parties and drawing white scribbles over pictures. His impact on society is simply due to the rise in celebrity blogs and the fact that he's somehow made a name for himself by talking about celebrities and posing in pics with them. He's also good on knowing what is popular with people of a certain demographic and capitalizing on it. It creeps me out that whatever band I may love/adore for their artistic capabilities will suddenly pop up on his site because the lead singer is hot or gay or said something irreverent and now HE likes them...for every reason other than their music. I can't stand him and, quite frankly, if you're going to visit a celebrity blog that does it right...go
here instead. That's one that I honestly think does their thing with some humor attached.
