Which member of the Mac would you rather hang with?

[nicole21290]

Lindsey. I need to correct him on a misattribution, related to The Beatles, he made during the first Sydney concert. It's still annoying me.....

Really? Careful what you say.

What do you mean? I enjoy guns. My dad has had guns my entire life. I've been going to the shooting range since I was 16. I'd like to talk guns with John. Wasn't he arrested at some point for having coke and illegal guns or something?

To say 'guns are good' is ridiculous. They aren't.
There are plenty of people in France right now that would certainly disagree with that statement.

I hope we don't get off topic for too many posts. If people in France were able to have guns they could have at least tried to protect themselves and others from what happened. But they were defenseless. I correct myself, guns are not good or bad, they are just inanimate gadgets. It's the person holding the gun that makes it do good or bad things. Innocent good people should not be forced to be defenseless against evil when stuff like this happens. Evil like this should not even exist in the world, we should all be able to live peacefully, but since it's not like that, good people should have the power to defend themselves against evil. Whatever form the evil is in, whether it's something like what happened in Paris or someone breaking into your house or the government becoming too powerful. It's wrong for a government to say society doesn't have the right to protect and defend themselves, but the politicians still get to have armed guards.

This is just wishful thinking. It's statistically proved that a person that owns a gun is much more likely than an unarmed person to engage in violent behaviours.
Also a person is much more likely to engage in violent behaviours after having become a gun-wielder.

'inanimate gadgets'? ... if you were refering to a house brick them I'd agree but guns are specifically created to kill.
If guns didn't exist in the first place there would be no need to defend oneself. Guns are not good things.

Christine all the way, followed by John.



I've had a handgun "carry permit" for a long time, and haven't carried one for years. Until NOW. With all the campus and movie theater shootings lately, IT IS TIME. If you think not being able to protect yourself is the wisest choice, enjoy your fate if you're unlucky enough to fall victim to one of these scenarios.

I was never comfortable with the large handguns I own, carrying them. So I went out about a month ago, and bought a Smith and Wesson "Bodyguard". It's a small(er) 380, with a laser sight. It fits comfortably in the back pocket of my jeans, and isn't much larger than a wallet(not visible in my pocket as anything more than a wallet). I intend to carry this on me, every day for the rest of my life. And I pray to god that I never have to use it.

same.

for hanging out, just Lindsey and Christine for me. i like intelligence and dry wit, which both of them seem to have in spades.

i really have no interest in meeting any celebrities, but these two people are an exception.

Curious. What was the "misattribution related to the Beatles" Lindsey made?

He was quoting the "I got blisters on my fingers!" at the end of Helter Skelter. He attributed said quote to Mr. Lennon....

I like this thread. Its easy for me. Christine all the way. I would even pay for such an experience to just sit down with only me and Christine with a bottle of wine and talk. I would love to hear about the early days and the tours. She has a great sense of humor too which would make it even better. If any band member wrote a book, hers would be the best. I also think John would be a great interview too because there is such untapped information there. He is the least interviewed member. I would love to hear all the old stories from him. Stevie would be fun too but she exaggerates so much about stuff but that is her nature. I would LOVE to interview Lindsey but not hang with him as much as Christine. There are such big questions for the rebel Lindsey. I would love to hear in his own words about the time he told the band he was leaving and Stevie attacked him.
I am not sure why some brought up politics. That would NEVER come into any conversation I had with any of them. I could care less where they stand on political issues. I think John is wonderful for doing the Clinton honors while being a republican. I cant imagine Ted Nugent performing for Obama I suspect Christine is conservative too. The only clue to this was her online chat from 1995 when asked about Bill Clinton using "Don't Stop" in the campaign. She said she was honored the song was used but she would never have voted for him.

The one thing I would love to know about the band members, all of them, if I got the chance to hang out with them would be who they were before Fleetwood Mac. In their own words plus I've always wanted to know what is in Stevie's diaries.

[jbrownsjr]

Christine would be the ultimate experience. I could listen to her talk all day. She's grounded in humor and class. She's very witty and funny.

Lindsey would be 2nd. Mick then Stevie then John.
