There’s a reason Bob Welch was offered a deal with Capitol Records with Paris before Fleetwood Mac were megastars. Fleetwood Mac never got dropped, Paris didn’t get dropped. Buckingham Nicks got dropped after one album. Fleetwood Mac without Buckingham Nicks was still viable. The opposite cannot be said. Stevie got that equation, Lindsey spent much of his initial time in the band railing against it.

I agree 100%. Stevie always has acknowledged that they most likely wouldn't have made it without Fleetwood Mac. It was very symbiotic. Shippers have the hardest time with that.

You are good, I love this!!!!

There’s no shame in being a shipper. I have been one and I am proud of it and don’t think my beliefs were invalid at the time. But love changes. Now I am standing here, roadside, with nothing to hold and a great deal of venom.

But I don't think you were ever irrational about it. You didn't hate LB's wife. You didn't try to discount Christine and the rest of their history as if it didn't exist. You didn't accuse Christine of breaking them up.

You just simply loved that relationship and knew it's value to the group.

No, I always loved Christine, until she broke my heart.

Exactly the same. She was always my favorite. Until I learned that she has no backbone, and doesn't stand up for her friends, and folds like a cheap lawn chair.

I still love her, but no longer respect her. She's a lame, company shill.

Really, Lindsey is the only one I still respect.
