Musician Controversy

[michelej1]

I just saw this comment from Neil Giraldo in a Pat Benatar biography. I laughed because it makes it sound like in the wake of the FM break ups, musicians world wide got into ethical debates with each other about whether or not band mates should sleep together, weighing the pros and cons and supporting their views with scientific evidence.

The new band eventually relocated to Southern California to work on their debut album In The Heat Of The Night and then hit the road. Neil said of their romance, "It happened probably a week into the tour. And initially it seemed taboo. Generally nobody had relationships like that in bands because it tended to destroy them. That's why the situation in Fleetwood Mac was so controversial among musicians. --- Overall it was a risky maneuver, but the success of our relationship has always been this sense of partnership, of each of us doing our part and our best."
