I told my mom the new talk of Mac touring....

She said "is Christine gonna be with them?" I said "no she's retired.". She said, "WELL IT AINT FLEETWOOD MAC!", rolled her eyes and walked away.

I thought some of u guys would appreciate that lol! Oooooh my mom is such a character. We're nothing alike!

Give your mum a big hug from me.

So it wasn't Fleetwood Mac in Peter Green's era either then lol? Gah. Though, I suppose I understand where she comes from. I'd probably lose interest if Lindsey left for good lol. Oh wait, I did. That's called Behind The Mask and Time. I listened to them once then hid them in the back of my Mac Collection...

Your mom's pretty much right...

As long as we still have Mick & John, I think it's fair to say they are still Fleetwood Mac

Stevie is by far my favorite member of Fleetwood Mac. If she left, I might still buy their records but my interest would be greatly diminished. I'd still think they're "Fleetwood Mac" though, especially considering how many personnel changes the band has been through.

I totally understand why those that prefer Christine would have less interest in the group now, and I also understand why people prefer the Rumours-era line-up. There's definitely something special about that mix of 5 people. But ultimately Fleetwood Mac is Fleetwood Mac as long as Mick and John are the core, and it seems like Christine can't be coaxed back out. I keep hoping though that the band may yet record with her, and then Mick/John/Stevie/Lindsey can go out on the road without her.

That's for sure. Mick and John are the foundation - the bedrock. Aside from that, all is Fleetwood Mac. Configuations change and morph. Players come and go and
(in Lindsey's case ) come back again. That's one of the most ususual and interesting facets of the Fleetwood Mac brand -- the different phases and musical styles.

Me too Bee! Fleetwood Mac ceased to exist for me when Lindsey left, until he came back. Unlike you though I never even listened to BTM or Time even once - and I've still never heard them, no interest whatsoever!

Not really the same thing. During the Green days, Christine was also in a blues band that was on the same label as Fleetwood Mac, often played on the same bill as the band, after a short while was married to the bassist, and played on all but two records (Peter Green's FM and Blues Jam Session at Chess/In Chicago). She may not have been in the band, but she was certainly a part of it.

This is why I read everyone of your posts.

Uck. I'd rather listen to the Jedward album than those two. And that's bad.
