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

[goldustboi]

"Lyndsey? Who's she?"

"Stevie? Who's he?"

"I thought they were for old people"

"Wasnt Stevie Nicks banished from America for being a witch?"

Sad.

HA! Don't know where THAT came from but I think I do remember back in the late 70's there was a rumor that SN was having a fling with Paul Kantner (from Jefferson Airplane/Starship) so who knows, maybe it means you sung in band if you had an affair with one of it's members?

By then, Fleetwood Mac will have a weekly gig at -- where else? -- the Bellagio.

Said by my mother [who was apparently living under a rock in the 70's]:

"Stevie Nicks? Isn't he the lead singer for Aerosmith?"

[DrummerDeanna]

LOL...I often think my mom must've been living under a rock in the 70's as well...as she and my grandma still seem to pronounce Stevie wrong....I can't phonetically spell it lol...

I always here the

Stevie...who's he? or Stevie Nicks...yeah...I like him!

And Lindsey not being a woman throws non-macians off....

And of course I've met several people who INSIST that Stevie Nicks is a witch...oddly they can't name more than two songs, but dammit they know for sure she's a witch lol....

Someone once told me a horrid cocaine story...claiming that his best from was cutting an album in the same place as The Mac..this was in the late 70's...or early 80's and she walked into a room and well...saw first hand where Stevie was uh putting the cocaine....sounds bogus to me....ya think she'd be more discreet lol...but whatever...


OOH! My favorite...someone once told me that Stevie Nicks is a racist....lol....

I just laugh now or just do the "oh really?" thing...and let it go...I got too tired arguing with all these people who know everything about a band/person they know nothing about lol...

The dumbest thing was "I don't like Fleetwood Mac". Now THAT'S dumb!

Check out the Okay, confess post for more on the cocaine rumor.


It's funny how everybody has some friend who supposedly knows someone who knows Stevie & that she's racist, etc.
A student insists that another student's mother was her manager & was fired, & that Stevie was horrible & mean. Please.

The rumors testify to her star power. Everybody claims to know what she's really like.

I think Stevie has worked with so many people, you could play Six degrees from Stevie Nicks with anybody in the business. At the same time, many people can't name her songs.

LOL...I did that...and am glad to know that I'm not the only one who has been handed this rumour....so apparently it's a pretty well circulated rumour then....lol....and this guy was like...yeah...my friend saw it all first hand...lol...

[tamaraluvsFM]

This is so funny! Some people just have no clue about the Mac. Anyhow..here is some of the things I have heard:

"I thought Stevie was the one with the Fro in that pic"

"Fleetwood Mac? I did not know you were into New Age music"

"Aren't they all dead yet?" (yes this one I did punch the guy..lol)

"Their music sucks" (yes once again I threatened violence..lol) To me that was the dumbest line as we ALL know they rock.

"Fleetwood Mac? Never heard of them..."

Who DIDN'T she have "a fling with" in the '70's??

The more correct phrasing would probably be:
Who hasn't she been rumoured to have had "a fling with" in the '70s?!?

I think it was Cher who once said (and I'm paraphrasing here), "If I slept with every man they claim I've been with, I'd never have time to get out of bed!"

[sara1998]

"Stevie Nicks dosen't bathe, and hasen't for years. She's a witch, you know??"

This was seriously said to me right before I went to The Dance. I laughed my ass off, especially after he said, "OH, since you will be so close to the stage, I'll bet you could smell her."

I am not kidding....

When the Rumours DVD-A had just come out, I went to Tower Records and asked if they had it. The girl by the counter asked me to write down the name of the band and album on a piece of paper so she can type it into the computer. I did it and then to my astonishment she told me that they "have nothing in stock by that artist". I said "What..?? Are you sure?"...and she said "yes, take a look". She pushed the monitor to my direction and I saw this is what she'd typed in:

ARTIST: RUMOURS

ALBUM: FLEETWOOD MAC

[stevierocks87]

okay...this happened just last week...

a guy in my chemistry class who got the VB of FM album for his birthday asked me "Does Stevie sing Go Your Own Way?" and "who is that guy with the big hair in the pictures? He looks gay."



ah well, i guess there was a time when i was pretty Fleetwood Mac ignorant. But not quite that so.
