What's the dumbest thing anybody has ever said to you about Fleetwood Mac?

[darklinensuit]

(Just to avoid bashing, let's restrict this to real-life rather than Ledge board encounters. )

For me, I've heard:

Are you sure Chris didn't used to be a man? (while watching Mirage concert video)

I know for a FACT that Stevie is a high priestess/witch.

You like Fleetwood Mac? That's as bad as liking classical music!

Rumours is really that well-known?

Stevie has got to be a lesbian if she writes all these songs about women.

How can you like her look? She wears rags.

Stevie is fat and old, how can you buy her albums?

I like that Dreams song Christine sings about Mick.

Stevie Nicks did too start Fleetwood Mac.

How lame, Fleetwood Mac does a Santana song on this album you've got!



Got anything to add to this list of dumb-ass non-fan quotables?

That: "SYW is the first full studio album by FM in 15 years".

Those fools, don't they know that TITN was out in 1987 and not 1988? (BTM & Time? What are they?)

This one wasn't supposed to BE related to Fleetwood Mac, but of course I related it to them:

Two guys walking behind me were talking about this girl who cuts hair, and her name was Rhiannon. The guy questioned "Brianna," and the other said "no, Rhiannon." Then, "Whoever thought of the name Rhiannon, that's dumb."

[beach~gypsy]

(in southern voice): "Fleetwood Mac? Oh yeah, I like him!"

[wondergirl9847]

My mom asked me "Who's she?" when I told her I wanted Lindsey's song "Soul Drifter" played at my funeral. LOL I love my mama, and she has never heard of Lindsey, but I was like "Um, mom, Lindsey is a GUY!!!!!!!" LOL

Are you obsessed with them or what? (YES, YES I AM!!)

Lindsey is gay. (Coming from a jealous co-worker )

[DownOnRodeo]

"Oh, I didn't realise there were two women ..." (This from a self-professed fan of sorts)

And riding high on the FM ignorance charts: "Lindsay Buckingham".

[misterbug]

"wait, stevies the girl and lindsey's the guy??"

[estranged4life]

was when someone honestly asked me this ONE VERY STUPID question:

"Fleetwood Mac? Is that a burger?"

...Nuff said, Brian "See, I told ya it was VERY STUPID" J.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

"Stevie Nicks? Ohhhh the curtain lady...the one who draps herself in curtains!!"


"I heard Stevie is dating Justin Timberlake, I always knew he was gay!"


my gov't teacher had the radio on and a stevie song came on and she said.."Which band did Stevie Nicks play in? Styxx??"
---i gladly informed her!

If so, please hold the Mick & put an extra slice of Stevie on mine.

When my kids were little they always asked why is Stevie the girl and Lindsey the boy? That doesn't make any sense, mommy.

When articles get Lindsey's year of birth wrong and making him older.
An ex-friend told me when I first got into the Mac that Stevie and Mick were on the cover of an album and they were naked (wrong combo) as I found out it was Buckingham Nicks, I was amazed to find out Lindsey had facial hair at one time as I was into them at the Mirage era.

I was getting my senior pictures taken last September, and I took all of my FM/Stevie albums for a pose (yeah I'm a nerd). The photographer looked at my Buckingham Nicks LP, pointed to Stevie, and said "Did you know she used to sing with Starship?" Rather than waste my time, I simply said "Oh really?"

What makes this story so funny is that the same photographer said the EXACT same thing to Johnny Stew when he had his senior pictures done (over ten years earlier!). Sorry to date you there, Brian.

My top five "Non--fan quotes.":

"Stevie, who's he???"

"Fleetwood Mac, aren't they a country group?"

"Aren' t they all dead?"

"Stevie Nicks, oh yeah, we cannot listen to her music since she is a witch..." (When you live in Amarillo, Tx---you hear a whole bunch of opinions like this. As soon as I'm eighteen, I'm moving to Vegas and away from the non-Fleetwoodmacism.)

"Lindsey, which one is she?"

*LOL*
It's ok, Josh... no one else is dating me right now!

We must have that "tri-state connection" thing going on again, because I saw the title of this thread, and I was going to post *my* story about the photographer, and then I saw you posted yours!

I just think it's hysterical that all these years later (and after I corrected him three times during the shoot), he still insists Stevie was with Starship! Ah well, what can you do!

Another dumb, but funny, Mac anecdote....
in my junior year of high school, our art class had a student teacher. It was pretty common knowledge that I was a huge Mac fan, so he walked over to me one day to tell me how much he's always loved Fleetwood Mac.
And in an attempt to impress me, he said he even owns a vinyl copy of the very first Mac album Stevie Nicks ever appeared on.
So I said, "ahh, 'Fleetwood Mac'... that's such a great album!"

But he corrects me and says, "No, the first Fleetwood Mac album she was ever on, was 'Mystery To Me.'"

I replied, "Uhm, I don't mean to argue, but 'Mystery To Me' featured Christine McVie and Bob Welch... Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham didn't join the band until 1975, and their first album with them was just titled 'Fleetwood Mac.'"

So from there he goes into a long spiel about the 'Mystery To Me' album, what the cover looked like, naming the songs (which he actually had correct), etc., and then he said, "see... Stevie Nicks was on that album."

I told him, "I guess I was mistaken," and left it at that.

I wonder if he ever pulled the album out again just to double-check!
