Much kudos there. There posts are thoughtful and heartfelt.
I've said in other posts--there are NO winners in this situation. It's just bad all around. Not to poke the bear either, but yesterday's interview didn't help the band at all. Sad Situation!

yup!

kbchrush I happened to see a tweet on Mick Fleetwood’s Twitter today that asked ...”what is the secret to Fleetwood Mac’s success?” This question struck a chord with me and compelled me to answer.
But because I am getting old I don’t know how to use Twitter, I’ll just post my thoughts here...maybe someone out there can put it up on Twitter for me lol. So....“what is the secret of FM success Mick?” My opinion/answer is. ..”The heady chemistry and artistry of these 5 members together - John, Christine, Mick, Stevie, and Lindsey. That iconic sound by those 5 coupled with romantic tension and the worlds love of drama made a undeniable cocktail. Each personality and their creativity defined the band and it’s success.” Therefore honors such as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Grammys, MusiCares Person of the Year to name a few were earned by this group. It is beyond a shame what has come to pass over recent days. I have lots of thoughts, feelings and facts that I will spare you from at this point. It is my husbands place to speak in his own words when the time is right for him. All I can say is thank you to all the loyal fans that supported FM over the years and for recognizing how stars only align once in a blue moon...and they did for this band. @mickfleetwoodofficial @stevienicks #whoareyoupeople

She edited her post and added Christine and John. That's odd.

I think people should also remember that something like this is probably hard on a family. There's likely a big emotional toll in seeing your loved one get kicked out by the group he's been a part of and devoted so much of his life to for 40 years. And then just the fact that as long as the Buckingham family has existed, they've known their father/husband as a member of Fleetwood Mac. Having to adjust to the fact that he's NOT that anymore and that it happened in such a sad way is probably very difficult.

On top of which, having his credibility and work ethic called into question....Sad situation all around.

And having all the Washington Post articles etc coming out, bringing up all the domestic abuse details again decades after it happened....how does he explain all that to his teenage daughters?

Whether he got fired or not...he should have always been worried about explaining his behavior to his daughters. He is not the victim in this matter.

And yet, they love him inconditionally, because they're the family he always wanted. Luckily he found a woman who wanted to create that family with him and stop wasting his time.

Well, once again, thank you.

People seem to dismiss the fact that this family breathed FM for 20 years. Emotional ties were broken. Between the whole Buckingham family and Ms Nicks. That people that Stevie used to call her family (Jeff Buckingham and his family) especially during the San Jose concert is now bashing her.

At this point it's hard to deny Stevie had nothing to do with this.

I don't know, but I do see a picture of Lindsey, the man who beat up women. I'm just thankful he didn't beat Christine like he did Carol Ann Harris.

Oh wait, did I cross a line?

Gasp! Of course you did. Don’t you know there are people who cannot accept that their King ever did this and it was all that mean ole Carol Ann’s fault? If it happened? And that Stevie deserved all of the mental and/or physical abuse he allegedly dished out to her. But the King is 100% blameless and can go on being an ass because he is the creative force behind the great band that was the soundtrack of our lives.

you are projecting.

most LB fans have never considered him blameless in everything he ever did in his life, or any kind of king. most LB fans believe allegations in CAH book, way more than all these SN fans who find her book offensive to their faultless chiff-queen. many of us also believe in redemption and turning one's life around. the fact that LB's family stands so lovingly behind him in all this should be enough indication for anyone who is thinking he's the same man now as 40 years ago. "the power and the importance of change."

unlike SN fans who still cannot accept that their queen changed for the worse, and is so obviously a bitter a** herself, these days.

Where's that picture? Right.... it's in your mind!

Allegedly is such a beautiful word. Especially for Stevie's fans. You said it, not me. Big mistake.

And yes, you're the creative force if you can play an instrument. A tamborine doesn't count, of course.

Ever hear her count off Enchanted? I'm not sure she can count, period. Well, I guess I mean, "count in time".

I even remember reading reviews for The Wild Heart when it came out, reviewers mocking her arrhythmic count off of the song.

Creative force?

It's not like that. I DO have major problems with Lindseys character/behaviour for decades now. But that is ME. The BAND has never had a problem with that, EVER. So since that never was a factor, it wasn't a reason that played into his firing, either. The band does not care about how Lindsey treats his women, period. There is no other motive to fire Lindsey than greed, and you shouldn't try to make it about anything involving morals.

And so - while I absolutely don't like Lindsey as a person, it is still respectless towards him and the fans to fire him like that, because as long as he brought the money, no matter what he did, he was good enough. Until another option for a cashcow was there to milk.
And that is on Mick, John, Christine and (to a lesser extend) on Stevie. I find them all despicable for it.
