Ok, I'm on a roll now. I just wanted to share a story with u guys about another band I like called the Stereophonics. I wont do this often, because I know this is a Stevie room, but I thought you'd all find this interesting. I posted on their website that I'd had a chance to see them in Minneapolis on May 28, and met the band before the show, they signed my poster and all that stuff, got a picture with them. then came the interesting part. this band is a bit more of a modern sort of alternative group, and when I mentioned the part about how I liked Fleetwood Mac, u should have heard them jump all over me about how old they are, blah blah blah. I just said that first of all you're entitled to your opinion, but that I feel that good music is good music, whether it be old or new. and besides, I've been a Fleetwood Mac fan for 30 years almost, and theyre music means so much to me, I really couldnt care less what someone else thinks.

See, and that attitude would make me not want to listen to their music! But I'm old and old-fashioned, I guess. Way to stick up for the Mac, though.

I'm sorry to hear that about the Stereophonics, because I am very fond of their song "Maybe Tomorrow" as well as their cover of the Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down."

The keyboardist in the Stereophonics uses many find old retro keyboards, such as the Fender Rhodes. He has a true understanding of the instrument's unique characteristics, & brings out those characteristics in his playing. I'm surprised that with such a veneration of classic equipment, this band doesn't have any more admiration or respect for classic bands like Fleetwood Mac.

I just wanted to clarify that when I said that people were all over me about Fleetwood Mac, it was the fans response in the message board, not the group itself

I'm with you on this one. However, I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just pity those who let anything like age or popularity, etc. get in the way of experiencing the talents and music of FM.
