Mick Fleetwood appriciation thread

[DavidMn]

A post I just made in the pre-Rumours section got me thinking, I know what I'm about to say will be obvious to some of you, but I really need to say it. As a Fleetwood Mac fan for almost 29 years, I have grown to love this band for it's diverse history more than anything else. And to me at least, there is one man who is responsible for keeping Fleetwood Mac together through thick and thin, lineup after lineup, and that man is Mick Fleetwood. I dont care how much money he's made, or how much went up his nose back in the day, at the core of it all is his love for this band, and his refusal to let it die. I did not get a chance to see Fleetwood Mac live until the Dance tour becuse I was either too young, didnt have the money, or whatever, and I had a chance to personally thank him and share my thoughts that I'm sharing here with him when I had the chance to meet him in 2003. He seemed genuinely touched that someone would thank him in this manner, and for me, there was no other choice. This band has been there for me through thick and thin, my rock really when things were going to **** at any point in my life, and i know that if it werent for Mick, I probably would have never gotten the chance to ever see Fleetwood Mac live. I'm sure there are people out there that know more than I do about this band and it's various members or whatever, but this is a very personal thing for me that I just needed to express. Thank you Mick for ever letting this band die. For all of your personal strifes and headaches Fleetwood mac has caused you, you never lost sight of what was most important to you, this great band. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
