Hi!

What I think:
- I cant believe that The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac has actually sold more copies than Say You Will And Even The Live In Boston DVD. Makes me wonder if there were really people who actually wanted and or want New Things from Fleetwood Mac

That never surprised me, actually. I think at this point it's fairly fair to say there are more NostalgiaFans than there are OhMyGoDNewFleetwoodMacStuff fans.

- - I think Lindsey actually respects and is proud of FM more so now than ever. Does make me scratch my head that when they were in their hey day, how he could not have respected them and the band at that point ? I mean, I love Lindsey, but the man should know that if it wasn’t for that band, he would not be living where lives today, and he would not enjoy the riches that he has. As much as I love the mans music, it is the FM stuff that has enjoyed him his life style. I think Lindsey might have been trying to bite the hand that feeds back in the day

Or bite the band that feeds, eh? Honestly I think that (especially) after Tusk everyone in the band was on such a different mindset, it was hard to come together as a unity. Lindsey has been quoted as preferring to be in another band at that time. Ditto for Stevie.

- - Stevie’s solo stuff is just plain ordinary, I never have understood the fascination with it, I mean if you take away BELLA DONNA, what is left ? I mean, I still don’t get how Behind The Music said she has sold 50 million albums, I don’t know what math they are using

Hm, different flavors for everyone. I am one of those rare people that loves Stevie's stuff as much as Lindsey's. I don't think it's fair to compare the two (if that is indeed what you are doing here). In general Stevie's stuff seems more ordinary than Lindsey's stuff, but ordinary doesn't necessarily equal bad. I enjoy Stevie's music for other qualities.

- - I think Tusk is a brilliant album

That goes without saying. There's a reason I married the damn thing.

- Don Henley is 100 % more arrogant than Lindsey at his worst, and I think Lindsey had his arrogant days

But...but...but...Don Henley is dreeeeeeeeamy.

No, he's a prick.
