Weston was kept out because he had a fling with Mick's wife, Bob was kept up because Christine McVie is small minded and petty after the lawsuit and Mick, who owns the name, wouldn't cross her. Bekka, Vito and Burnette were left out because they never became contractual legal members of the band . Several days before they were supposed to become that, they were fired and that was wrong. But the rhythm section (Mick and John) put out a new Fleetwood Mac because they owned the name and the others wouldn't play. Not much different than what the manager Clifford Davis did. But they should have been in there as well.

I think the timeline is a little off. Billy was still a part of Fleetwood Mac when they did the Time album, Rick had already left (or was fired, he never said what happened) and what do you mean by "Mick & John put out a new Fleetwood Mac because they owned the name and the others wouldn't play"? Which others? After the Time album, Stevie & Lindsey came back, hardly a "new" Fleetwood Mac. They didn't need other players. Or is that the reason why Billy, Bekka and Dave Mason were fired?? I'm all confused now...
