Stevie quote from the article...
Of the 22 songs Fleetwood Mac will play during a concert, 11 will be hits, such as "Dreams," "Don't Stop" and "Hold Me," Nicks said

Huh, is she serious? Only half of the setlist will be "hits"...

lol-ing at the comment from some guy saying she shouldn't be posted about on a catholic website since she's a witch. Evidently he didn't get the "I'm not a witch, get a life" memo.

thx for posting....until they sing it (Hold me) I don't believe a word Stevie says.

I doubt that only half will be hits, more like 3/4 or more.
I am shocked that this was posted on a Catholic site because of the myths(which aren`t true of course) about Stevie and witchcraft.

Once again, there is no direct quote there from Stevie that the band will be playing "Hold Me." The author of the article speculated that the 11 "hits" that Stevie said they'd be playing, would include songs like "Dreams," "Don't Stop" and "Hold Me."

That is how songs are written, stories are told, rumours are started, fans are disappointed....

I see, so the quote is "11 hits will be played" and the article writer elaborated with listing the songs. Gotta love current journalisim/media.

I too was surprised about this being on a Catholic website! Sounds like most of the article was taken out of context.

If Stevie didn't say they were performing Hold Me, it's interesting to me that the writer would choose Hold Me as one of the hits next to Dreams and Don't Stop. A lot of people know Hold Me but I think if the writer wrote the hits, they would've chosen Landslide or Go Your Own Way. I believe Mac is going to perform Hold Me

see that's whats so confussing when random ppl list FM "hits"....originally Landslide or Silver Springs wouldn't even be on this list....given their tour history...I could write an article and list The Chain, GDW, and Stand Back as FM "hits" and who would oppose me? Certainly not the band.

Even though Hold Me was indeed a hit...if I (and most other fans) were to write about our beloved band to the general public, I think it's safe to say we would list (the well known, in fact) hits such as: Rhiannon, SYLM, Dreams, GYOW, Don't Stop, YMLF, Sara, Tusk, Gypsy, etc.

Hold Me doesn't strike me or anyone else as a "stand out" hit above the rest....unless the author was trying to connect to a younger generation that might actually recognize the song.

That said, I would Love to hear Hold Me, but not at the expense of Gypsy.

I love the part where the writer says Stevie is known for her floor-length hair. Umm, okay.

lol. She was raised Episcopalian and went to a catholic high school. Go figure Stevie leaks the set list on a catholic site well one song Hold Me which hasn't been done since 1982 live. I am catholic myself and I did a search engine for an article and this was not the article I was looking for,but this was like the first article to pop up. I just love the title to the article.I figure had to send post it here.This tour is a maybe for me unfortunately the show that is closest to me is one of the high priced shows but will see how money and ticket availabilty will be in a few weeks or as it gets closer to the show.

"We're not doing drugs and stuff like that ... You don't know what you'll do when you're not doing this."

WTF Does she mean by this? Sometimes I don't understand journalists at all. How can you end a piece with such a vague quote.
