Age Range: 39
Gender: femme fatale
When you became a fan: 1982 I was fully on the bandwagon
How you became a fan: Loved the Hold Me video. Completely enthralled w/ Stand Back, put 2 & 2 together, realized I am in Big Love w/ FM!
First 3 FM songs: Tusk, Never Make Me Cry, Hold Me
First FM vocalist: Lindsey, Christine, Stevie later (little did I know)
Favorite FM Time Period: Mirage, TITN
Vocalist breakdown by percentage: My name is Anita, and I am a Stevie Nicks fan.
HOWEVER, I have utmost appreciation for all things FM. And I also do not think that FM
IS Stevie Nicks. To break down the Mac vocally, I'd try and even the % out between the Rumours line up. SN, LB & Chris, but I also REALLY like Welch.
Concerts you've attended: 1987 TITN being the first. I've gone as far as Colorado, Nevada, Northern/Southern Cal. FM/SN/LB shows tally real close to 100x's.
FM stuff you own: What I don't own are some of the higher end SN things. As for FM, it's bountiful. I have collector traits, and since becoming a fan, I began my collecting immediately. Even when I scaled things back a bit, I could still open a small exhibit. lol
Favorite thing about FM: Years and years of memories and the happiest place on earth for me to go to when things aren't so swell.
Least favorite thing about FM: A)The need to rape you financially if you want to see them live. Despite "times a changing" FM has a stake in this by touring w/out something to promote, etc. B)The need to keep the name FM on the marquee no matter who the line up. I both see the thinking and despise the thinking.
Are you the same fan your where when you started: Economically, I'm a "bigger fan" cause I can buy what I want now. But I don't think that's what makes a fan neccessarily. The times I haven't been so much of a fan, is when I've gotten hosed by a fleeting fan. I've def had my ups and downs of fandom. To and for the band, it's never waivered.
Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: The ultimate jam. Referring to the comment above, FM has gone thru so many tansitions. On the anniversary of FM being first FM, I think they ought to get any and all members (ugh, even Bekka
) and turn that mother out. THAT ould be worth the price of $300+ admission!
You wish for the future of the Mac:
I don't know what can or will be the future of FM. Keep making music if there is soul in it, not $signs. The dumbass that I am would buy it either way, but....
