I don't think she was being hateful towards Christine one iota. I think Stevie was just expressing that (the Rumours incarnation of) Fleetwood Mac is like a family. Even if you spend time away from your family, you never have to ask permission to come back to the dinner table. It's just understood that you're always welcome.

The way he brushes his hair back and plasters it to the top of this head definitely does him no favors. I would never, ever consider him athletic looking, either. But I think Linds has gotten to the point in his life where he just doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks about him, and that's a beautiful thing.

Well I know Stevie is not one of your heroes and that you really don't care for her at all, but my goodness, she's actually a senior citizen. Surely you must have some respect for the old lady.

They are around the same age as my parents, who look at me in shock, horror and disbelief, when I talk about the number of dates that FM do on their tours. I think they are all doing amazingly well for their age!

I agree on all counts. Eraserhead is his signature look, but he'd look like he has more, if he'd do something else with it!

And I agree that now that he's married with kids, and he is old, that he's accepted it all. And that is beautiful.

I used to love her, but(and I've said this many times) the insanity of her fanbase drove me away from her, and into the arms of the others!

But why should her fans affect the way you feel about her?

And btw, I'm a chiff and I'm really cool.

Well, speaking for myself, it's the "We love you Stevie" screams when Christine is doing an intro for "Oh Daddy," the chiffon at a Peter Green/Splinter Group at Wilbur's in Cleveland, and the chiffon at a Mick Fleetwood's Zoo show when Bekka Bramlett was in the band (though that makes MUCH more sense than at the Peter Green show).

Mostly, though, it's that notion that Stevie Nicks is the only reason Fleetwood Mac is a popular band, that anything prior to 1975 the band was just playing blues and was unsuccessful, and that how dare the band go on with a "hussy"/"Stevie wannabe" like Bekka Bramlett. They refuse to acknowledge that the band already had a legitimate greatest hits album in Europe prior to 1975, that in twelve albums the band had never been dropped, that Christine McVie had more hit singles with the band, and that Stevie (like everyone else in the band) is NOT as big on her own as she is as a member of Fleetwood Mac.

I know not all chiffon-heads are like that, but it adds up.

Also, I think Stevie has been hit-or-miss, with more misses, since 1983. She uses a lot of the same vocal runs throughout an album, EVERY album, anymore.

All of this is unfortunately true. It was Stevie who lured me in when I was 11 (1982). We had Rumours at home and I had heard every inch of that album by the time I was 10. But when "Gypsy" came out I was hooked. Thing is, the minute I bought Mirage and returned to Rumours, Stevie wasn't enough. I found myself really taken with Christine. For me, the turning point was when that same year I heard "Say You Love Me" and this sound made me shiver with excitement. I had NEVER heard a lead voice carry a song like this. By 1983, I had most of the pre-1975 albums and realized this was a band with MANY heroes.

I think Stevie's new solo work is excellent, and I like the way she has grown into her vocals and is making the most of a diminished range. But I get sooooooooooo annoyed, for instance, when I'm watching a YouTube clip of a Christine performance or some pre-BN song and there's all manner of Stevie madness in the comments. Yes, she is great, but when she isn't out front or present, try to enjoy what is in front of you, or don't say anything at all.

Yes, I don't think she was being sarcastic. I mean, she was saying that she thinks Christine is being a little disingenous suggesting she is waiting to be asked. So, her response to Christine saying that was a little arch. On the other hand, Christine was being a little precious when she said it, so touche. But Stevie was also saying that FM is Christine's home, no matter how long she's been gone. She's still part of the band and can return any time she wants.

No, I wouldn't say athletic when I see that soft tummy of his. Now, to me he is more shaving some of his hair behind the receding hairline and then after the shave point, he was fluffing the rest straight up in the air. He seems to be kind of making a straight edge or something. I don't know what you mean about plastering.

Art always had that look as long as I remember.I had the same style in school ages ago.

i'm looking through these posts and then checking the date on my calendar... yup, 2013!

eraser look? high forehead? are you all stuck in 2011??

haven't you seen Lindsey in 2012 or 2013? the man is gorgeous and aging like a fine wine (albeit with the slight help of hair club for men or similar ).

you learn to mostly ignore stuff like this, but doesn't mean it's not annoying.

But again, these are reasons to be annoyed with SOME chiffonheads, not Stevie herself.

It's not the fans that refuse to acknowledge FM's success during the years Stevie / Lindsey weren't in the band it's the band and WB that tries to sweep the non SN/LB years under the carpet...I think it would be great if they didn't just focus on the Rumours thing...

As far as Stevie goes you can't have it both ways...You enjoy the success and visibility she brings FM but you don't like all the attention she gets...Christine may have had more hits but Stevie's FM songs have probably made more money...Yes FM is bigger than Stevie solo but Stevie solo is most likely bigger than LB,CM,MF and JM solo put together profit wise...As Stevie said a long time ago the other band members can have big solo careers if they want them all they need to do is go after it...
