I would understand if Bekka couldn't sing or they tried to pass her off as Stevie (say like Elmer Gantry) but other than a passing nod to Stevie in terms of performing a couple of her songs, it was very much a new incarnation of the band.
Look I love Ms Nicks, I really do. Her voice started me on this amazing journey through Fleetwood Mac 15 years ago. However, it must be said that Stevie Nicks = 1/16 of Fleetwood Mac.  |
That's because the other members of FM, tend to have SANE fans, and the other members didn't have to step into "those shoes"(or whatever footwear is goat appropriate).
And that's the crazy, IGNORANT part of their "Bekka sucks" stance- I went to Time, pre-internet(for me, anyway), not knowing what, or who, to expect. And while I was disappointed that Chris wasn't there,.......know what? Bekka won me as a fan, that evening. She sang Dreaming the Dream, and I was blown away. "Wow, this girl's amazing!". But being open-minded, is the last thing, a certain member's fans, will be accused of being.
1/16th. Tru dat!
