How did you become a fan?

[holidayroad]

I guess I sort of took a complicated road to becoming a Mac fan! In the summer of 1984, I was almost 10. My parents, as indecisive as ever, decided they wanted to move south, so for two months, we lived with my uncle in South Carolina.

My mom got a job, my dad was helping my uncle fix up his house. That left my siblings and I to occupy ourselves indoors. Lucky for us, my uncle had MTV. I liked what most kids my age liked at the time- Madonna, Prince, Culture Club, Michael Jackson...I was thrilled to see all these vids. Then I saw the video that changed it all forever-Lindsey Buckingham:Go Insane.

I know anyone will think I'm nuts when I say this, but when I saw it, it's just like I knew this was who would be my favorite for the rest of my life.

In 1985, when I heard "I Can't Wait", I became a Stevie fan as well. That may seem logical to most of you, but at the time, I didn't know there was any connection between Stevie and Lindsey.

Then, in 1987, when I saw the video for "Big Love", I finally realized that Lindsey was also in a band and Stevie was in the band as well. That's when a became a FAN of Fleetwood Mac!!

Later, after purchasing more FMac and Christine's 1984 solo album, I realized I had heard a lot of the songs over the years by FMac and solo songs, but didn't know who sang them.

I've been a dedicated Mac fan since Tango, and guess I'll always remain one. For me though, it all started with Lindsey, and he's still my favorite!
