Survivors

[CADreaming]

I wouldn't say they came out of it unscathed. A lot of stuff fell apart in the wake of their excesses - you basically ended up with 3 maybe 4 addicts. It's a miracle they managed to keep the band going for as long as they did until Lindsey left in '87. And, it's a great question - how/why they managed to pull it back together. Money never stopped other bands from imploding - if anything money was a contributing factor. I would say rehab and therapy must have really worked and a joint effort at recognizing they all do care for each other and have a growing respect for what each person brings to the band. Plus, coming out of the fog and being more mature probably did help them to understand how being in a vehicle like "Fleetwood Mac" only helps them financially if they can work through all the politics and emotions that get in the way.
