Well, she probably does keep them in a vault now. That's why LB is always complaining that she's not bringing anything "new". I think that if she fell asleep during a recording session, the temptation might be too great to resist. That's why it surprised me so much when she said she gave one of her journals to Dave Stewart to read.

I doubt that the raw prose holds much interest for Lindsey. Just the demos.

Oh, I think he would be very interested. She puts everything in those journals. They are basically her version of "Dear Diary".

Stevie: I worked really hard for two years promoting my album of 14 songs.It was tiring. And Fleetwood Mac would never do that much press.

Oh please.

Fleetwood Mac Kiss And Make Up…For Now
by Bené Viera

Fleetwood Mac‘s drama almost matches its number of hits. The hookups, breakups and cocaine eventually crumbled the band that produced the iconic Rumours. Thirty-five years later the trio are laying aside the bad blood to hit the road.

A Fleetwood Mac reunion is happening, folks. The rumors are true. VH1 News chatted with the group about what’s different this time. “We were prevailing as a group under the worst personal circumstances,” said Lindsey Buckingham. Drama will no longer affect the music. It’s all about putting on a show for the fans. On April 4 the tour begins. Either this lovefest will make for an amazing chemistry on stage or the old demons that once haunted the band will arise again leaving for interesting headlines.

she said that when she gave a journal to DS he actually read through it to her utter surprise - because Lindsey never cared to when she'd do the same.

That's interesting. I didn't know that he wasn't interested. hmmmm, I'm going to have to look through those lyrics again...

Well, I don't think she actually meant that she tried to give that specific book of poems to Lindsey and he didn't want to read them. I think it was more of a hypothetical - Lindsey never would have read them if she had given them to him... I mean, he never read what she wrote to him on her Bella Donna album, afterall...

That's what I thought she meant too.

You know, even when Stevie was pretending to be Lindsey, "Yes, Stevie, Rhiannon is a very pretty name," I got the feeling that she was spot on in capturing the humoring nature of his tone and think his genuine interest in those kind of musings from her is limited.

It's like Stevie saying if she had to read Mick's book, she'd do it with a big red pen making corrections all along the way. I imagine reading Stevie's journals would be a headbanging experience for anyone who might actually figure in those journals and have a quite different perspective on the stuff inside of them.

I think Lindsey hears enough from her that he's not hunting down journals to read more. Life is finite.

I was just about to say... he's spent how many years listening to her talk about herself? I can't fathom him ever wanting to read what she's written about herself, too.

I wasn't thinking of it those terms. I was thinking of it in terms of he knows that she writes about him constantly. I would think that he would be curious to see what she has written about him recently. I wasn't thinking in terms of her day to day stuff or song lyrics.
