Not sure if this has been discussed before, just came across this Rolling Stone article from LB and was pretty shocked to read this paragraph below. Despite Stevie being a pretty crazed figure just out of rehab, I can not believe he would verbalise that she 'probably deserved to be slapped'. When if we believe Johnny Mac then LB was pretty violent to her that day as it stands anyway. This sure reinforces his violent nature towards women at that stage in his life which saddens me as I am a big fan of his generally.....


The group added two new members, Billy Burnette and Rick Vito, in an attempt to fill the void left by Buckingham's departure. Diplomatically, Buckingham says only that Behind the Mask – the 1990 record the group made without him – was "not an album I can say I took to heart." Buckingham did, however, take to heart some of the slights meted out by Fleetwood in his 1990 tell-all tome, Fleetwood. "I didn't read the whole book," Buckingham says, "but I did skim it, and there were a lot of . . . untruths, shall we say. Mick was basically trying to underplay my contribution, but the thing that really upset me is the incident he describes of the night I left the band. He had this thing in there about me slapping Stevie. I mean, she probably deserved to be slapped. But it never happened that way. I don't know what Mick was talking about."


Thoughts?
