I wouldn't. I'd rather hang out with John McVie and talk about Arsenal. Mick would be great to hang out with, too, although I've already done that once. John's history is significantly more impressive to me than Stevie's or Lindsey's. Think about it, he was on the "breakout" releases for Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Mick Fleetwood, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, Bob Welch, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham. (Yeah, some of them had prior releases, but McVie was on the ones that put them firmly in the spotlight.)

The whole Stevie superstar thing or Lindsey genius thing really does nothing for me. Their rock star status does not impress me. If you don't think of them as rock stars, but just as regular people, Stevie and Lindsey seem to be two of the most narcissistic individuals out there. That bores me to tears. I know a rock star that if I didn't know he was a rock star, I would never guess he was a rock star. He's too busy writing and releasing new music to get all hung up on being a rock star. When he goes out, it's to hang out with friends he's known for years or people who've more recently come into the picture who have earned some level of trust. Does he sell a lot of records? No, but then again, he told Warner Bros. to f**k off.
