I'm sure that the biggest Fleetwood Mac fans are familiar with this, but Peter, Danny, John, Mick, and Jeremy completed a survey where they all answered various questions about their preferences, biggest breaks in their careers, personal ambitions, etc. The article can be found on page 11 of this New Musical Express article.
