Who makes a living in rock and doesn’t know “Black Magic Woman”? Very, very odd.

You can’t be serious. You can’t really think something that unbelievably stupid. You of all people.

She never said she didn’t know the song. Come on, man, she was in San Francisco when Santana, who was from San Francisco, had a massive hit with the song. Of course she knew it. She didn’t know it was a Fleetwood Mac song, though, until after she was in the band.

Again, she never gave a timeline as to when she found out it was a Fleetwood Mac song. My interpretation, you know, from actually having seen her perform it, was that she realized it after she joined the band, as in 1975. But, by all means, continue on with an exaggeration that was only created on this board.
