John did tell me they had a band meeting, this was back in November, I guess. I don't think plans were ever on for a summer tour though-- he said Stevie had the Australia thing coming up, and Lindsey had something in the summer -"or so I've been told", were his words....(so maybe he views LB's tour plans w/ the same skepticism as the rest of us....?

I don't know. ) But anyway he didn't imply there was really a summer tour possibility.

Why did Bill Wyman ever leave?

to pursue a solo career in opening a small resturaunt chain, cleverly named after one of the Stones' most succesful albums

This would probably be around the same time he hooked up with the 13 year old model

Based on the interview just posted on the Stevie board, I'm beginning to think it might be a very cold day in hell when FM hits the road again.

Well, I wouldn't rule anything out, at least as far as Mick and John are concerned. Maybe even Lindsey. But, Stevie was never all that thrilled with SYW, at least in any of the interviews I've read. All that interview did was confirm what most of us already suspected, that the kissing and hand holding was mostly for show. Some of us have been saying that for years, now.

Exactly!

Christine stay at home in Kent please...just record another album with Dan and I will be happy.

You mean there are people who think otherwise?

It's totally obvious; the "tender" moments were just as staged as Lindsey's scripted prattle in between songs and Stevie's SYW lasso.

They're referred to as "shippers" because of their focus on the Buckingham Nicks relationship.

Sad but true.

Cold day in Hell indeed. I think I need to be alone for a while.

Somewhere in New York, Billy Burnette's phone just rang...

There are a couple of different ways to look at this. I always assumed the movements--the onstage dancing & hugging & all--were all done every night in virtually the same way because they were part of the show, like actors blocking stage movements. So in that sense, it was scripted (the Tusk dance & all that stuff).

But were there genuine emotions of friendship & accomplishment & camaraderie that drove those scripted dances & hugs? I think there were. The emotion was there even though it was expressed in specifically theatrical, planned ways night after night on tour.

The same is true (for the most part) with playing a set. You play it & sing it in similar ways every night onstage because otherwise it would be too harrowing & too enervating to improvise literally everything. That would be a superhuman feat. But you should still have a general enjoyment of performing & of the songs you & your bandmates wrote & got successful with so that the nightly performance is a ritual reenactment of the excitement you felt when you made the album or released it or made the cover of Rolling Stone. If you can't even work up the pleasure on *that* level, your performance can look really boring & robotic because that is precisely how you are feeling about all of it.

Gimme a break

...how f***ing tough is touring "the Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac" way? Is she freezing her ever expanding butt in an Econoline van from gig to gig? No. Flying first class & staying in 5 star hotels? Yes.
Is she playing 5+ hrs a night, 6 nights a week? No. Is she playing a 90 minute-2 hr set MAYBE three nights a week? Yeah.

The touring schedule and travel accomodations just COULDn't be that strenuous. If they are, then somebody's f***ing spoiled and is out of touch with what a "real musician's" life is.
