Heh. This one relates to the same situation, but with an even juicier reference. I found it the other day during my regular Fleetwood Mac searches - it is rather nice for the business journalists that the companies are Fleetwood and Mac.

Housing providers Fleetwood Corp and Mac Services this week fell foul of Rio Tinto's capex squeeze. While 1970s band Fleetwood Mac crooned Don't Stop, Rio Tinto's message was Go Your Own Way, with contract cancellations affecting Fleetwood (Pilbara iron ore housing) and Mac (Alcan's 300-room Gladstone village).
