Mirage — and particularly “Hold Me” and “Gypsy” — was my gateway to Fleetwood Mac. We had Rumours in the house and I remember watching the “Tusk” video (with appropriate confusion and awe) on television in 1979. But with the two videos and main singles from Mirage, I quickly called the band my own. I loved 1/2 the record. A lot. (Gypsy made me a huge Stevie covert.)

Within the year, I had all of their albums up to that point. By 1983, I was the biggest Christine fan in my neck of the woods. The turning point (from Stevie to Christine) was hearing “Say You Love Me”.
