Am I the only one that thinks this borders on being ridonk?

Hahaha not at all, it is on the verge of being ridonk But what can you expect from a bunch of crazed Ledgies.

No, that's why I mentioned prayer earlier- a joke. Anyway, lots of folks on this board are young and maybe this is a normal response?

I saw that. And I responded, but not in ten characters. That was funny though.

I've not had this problem yet......

For a little while this year, like when I discovered Green Day's older music and really started getting into them for a while, I just didn't want to listen to anything else. What really got me back though, was this master reely thingy that had a pretty clear quality Goodbye Baby/The Tower piano demo on it. And thus, I am here on the Ledge again

But I'm not gonna lie though... these days I tend to listen more to Green Day than Stevie and FM. Perhaps because it's newer and fresher to me, but who knows. Also the fact that they're really active, touring, recording, and updating fans right now that it makes it easy for me to follow them.

But this Stevie/Dave Stewart thing is getting me interested. I don't like the sound of this "departure" thing though.. it makes me want to cry. :/

Listen to her songs that you normally wouldn't.

Then, a year or two from now, if the Mac spirit hits you again, it will feel all the more fresh and fervent because of the time you spent away.Michele

Agreed. I'm not always on a Mac high and I've even felt guilty about it in the past -- listening to other artists and getting excited about their music.
But the rediscovery is always totally exhilerating for me, and well worth the wait

I've only said it a hundred times, but I was there that night at the LA Forum when it was filmed. I was 18, had a lousy seat but the concert changed my life. Even the official home-release of that concert obscured one thing- the applause and crowd reaction at the end of 'Sisters' was deafening. The floors shook (I was up in the nosebleeds)- I thought it was an earthquake at first. The entire Forum, from down front to up high, had an event that we all shared, and everyone felt it and knew everyone else did, too. The Sisters ovation was endless. AND LOUD. The entire concert was beyond words, I think it's the best version of 'The Chain' that the band ever performed, Stevie's voice was supernaturally charged and gorgeous to behold. I wanted to forget about college, I wanted to live nothing but Fleetwood Mac 24-7 (Hey, I was only 18) and it is forever a part of one of the most exciting nights of my life, maybe one of the most exciting three nights of my whole life and I'm old now. In fact, only 2 perfect nights of when I was madly in love, same person, a year and a half later, really top what the Forum concert gave to my heart that night. It was so perfect, it almost would have been a perfect time to die. Soon I'll be kissing 45 goodbye. That really sucks. But being young in LA in 1982, I don't know that I'd trade it for anything. I'm glad everyone loves the clip. I WONDER why the audio was so edited out, I am not exagerrating- the entire Forum SHOOK- the walls shook, the floors shook, the audience went so crazy.

What a great post -- thanks so much for sharing that memory with us. It's precious -- hold it tight!

What I love about this performance is how passionate, animated and emotionally present the entire band is. Love this.

Don't know if this has been suggested...
Try laying in your bed naked with the lights out watching a montage of Stevie videos and let your hands roam as they please. If you have a partner in bed with you make him or her dress up as Stevie and you be Lindsey circa 1975.
