Q: Hi John, I've heard that you had a bit of an alcohol problem up until about 1987. About how much did you drink each day?
A: Lots!

Thanks Lis, thanks John! Thanks Niki! Good question.

ooh, cool. niki's question was good - i wish john had answered more in depth. i find it surprising and sad that lindsey hasn't sent john UTS.

Love that John is so candid & honest. He sounds a bit out of the loop - like the rest of the band is off doing their own thing & he's just waiting to hear from someone to tell him when they're ready for him.

So, LB did not send him a CD. And John's daughter went to LB's show, but John didn't. I don't know what to make of that. Seems odd.

I've always gotten that impression really. Like 'I'm off sailing, call me when you need me to play. You guys can deal with the rest.'

he pretty much said as much on the DR doc, didn't he? when he was on the boat, bitching about having to play the same line over and over and over again.

well when you are a musicians... and tour with someone over very long periods of time... it's ok to sort of do your own thing..... i'm sure it's not personal....

Oh, I'm sure it's not. I think in general he's quite content to hang out & do his own thing.

Yeah, me too.

Yeah, me too.

His answers never fail to crack me up though. "I've been waiting by the mailbox."

And you know, if he'd googled 'yo-yo man john mcvie' he would have gotten to this page first: http://shn.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v1&c=8

Veddy interesting. How odd that he's never received Lindsey's CD. And the whole Peter situation just seems tragic. It must be hard to be so close to people and then one day they just aren't a part of your life anymore. I hope we get to see the Peter Green film. I had no idea this was even going on. Are they making his life story? Also, what the hell is Yo Yo Man?
I love how he said "wait for it." I wonder if he's a Keith Olbermann fan.

Maybe he doesn't want to be presumptuous and figures if John wants to hear it, he'll buy it.
He doesn't want to pull a Stevie and give his solo album to someone who doesn't give a sh*t about it.
