And when she says this is the best stuff she's ever done, she is kind of throwing the entire post-1975 Fleetwood Mac catalogue under the bus too.
I don't think her comments come from a place of anger, at least in the overt, palpable sense. But I can't help but wonder if she subsconsciously feels compelled to get these subtle digs in.

Well, they're always going to get their digs in. That's basically a reflex, at this point, but this is much better than in 2005, when she was saying something like . . . I don't remember what she even said now, but the gist was she was naming the greatest guitarist she could think of and the one that sprang to her mind immediately was Eric Clapton! I'm not saying Eric Clapton isn't the greatest guitarist, but I took it as a dig. So, I knew she was mad then. And that was before the Jim Ladd interview where she complained about Mr. Buckingham being responsible for her granny sweater.
This time around, instead of having vowed never to work with him ever again in life, she seems open to the idea of maybe consulting together on a pre-FM project. Wonders may never cease.
If they ever did anything with the 3 years before they joined FM that would, of course, be the ideal time for the BN album to finally come out on CD.
