I told my mom the new talk of Mac touring....

Your mom's pretty much right...

As long as we still have Mick & John, I think it's fair to say they are still Fleetwood Mac

Stevie is by far my favorite member of Fleetwood Mac. If she left, I might still buy their records but my interest would be greatly diminished. I'd still think they're "Fleetwood Mac" though, especially considering how many personnel changes the band has been through.

I totally understand why those that prefer Christine would have less interest in the group now, and I also understand why people prefer the Rumours-era line-up. There's definitely something special about that mix of 5 people. But ultimately Fleetwood Mac is Fleetwood Mac as long as Mick and John are the core, and it seems like Christine can't be coaxed back out. I keep hoping though that the band may yet record with her, and then Mick/John/Stevie/Lindsey can go out on the road without her.

That's for sure. Mick and John are the foundation - the bedrock. Aside from that, all is Fleetwood Mac. Configuations change and morph. Players come and go and
(in Lindsey's case ) come back again. That's one of the most ususual and interesting facets of the Fleetwood Mac brand -- the different phases and musical styles.
