Aren't We Being A Little Hard On The Band?

[Lala]

Hi all,

I've been reading all of threads regarding disapointment over lack of new/remastered material. I understand you're all frustrated, trust me I am too. But aren't we being a little hard on these guys? There have been some more personal attacks on band members, calling them "idiots", etc. And it made me stop and think, aren't we all here because we love this band?

Sure, I'm disapointed over the lack of insight between management and the band in terms to releasing more matterial. But, I love this band. I love this band because they have touched me musically. I love this band because their words and music have helped me through some hard times. I love this band because, when I'm having a bad day, I can throw on one of their albums, crank it, and feel a little better.

I'm sure some of you have similar feelings.

I guess my point is, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. I've certainly been guilty of saying things on this board that I wouldn't dare say to a band member's face. But, should we be a little more careful in posting as if they were reading? I just feel like, if Stevie on a whim checked out the board, and caught her fans calling her an idiot, she'd be less motivated to push for anything of hers to be remastered.

I don't know. Maybe I'm totally off base and shouldn't have posted this. Keep in mind I'm hopped up on cold medicine and kind of bored.

I Fleetwood Mac. I am grateful for what has been released, and will be grateful for whatever else is.
