Fleetwood Mac on Ellen

[bombaysaffires]

People just don't get it do they?

It's not that Lindsey is gone.

It's that now we see, if there was ever doubt, that the band's integrity (or what was left of it) is totally gone.

It's bad enough to take to the road when the remaining original singers can no longer perform up to par vocally or, it appears with Chris, not even as musicians and they have to have a shadow band playing for them, but then to add two new members of the caliber of Mike Campbell and have them act as stand-ins makes them nothing but an oldies cover band. (Think about how it would be if the Heartbreakers had called in Lindsey to go on the road and sing Tom's songs......gag)

It's sad. It's embarrassing. It poops on whatever credibility they had left.

That's what is upsetting everyone. As mad as I am about the whole LB debacle, part of me would be impressed as hell if SN and CM were up there really knocking it out of the park. Far from it. It's one thing if they're all up there in the Rumours5 lineup sucking together. When they're up there sucking with replacement players, it's just sad.

The rule in showbiz is to go out on top, go out leaving the crowd wanting more. At this rate they'll go out with people saying the last tour should have been the last.
