New Mick interview with Alec Baldwin

And I just can’t envision him getting all fired up playing with Campbell or the Crowded House guy. I don’t think he listens to the Crowded House dude much if at all, and what would he do with Mike Campbell? Swap guitar riffs onstage? If that’s the extent of the intermixing, I don’t think he’d find it all that gratifying, tossing blues licks back and forth in concert. Just not his style. So what is there for him to really sink his teeth into with such a proposed project? I guess just $$$$. Rather pathetic for a guy who characterized the post-Buckingham Fleetwood Mac (both times) as mass-market corporate rock and a musical non-sequitur.

He’s really a study in failed ideals. I realize he hasn’t embarked on this project yet and it may very well not happen. But if it does, it’ll be really aesthetically pointless.

don't get me wrong... I don't think Lindsey would necessarily say yes. In fact, I don't think it'd be his bag at all. I just think it might be something Mick would scheme for.
Mick isn't getting any younger. He knows the score though, Stevie still has projects on the table she'd want to do before she ever came back to FM. I think he might be tired of the waiting.... he's done that too many times. He needs a buck and his working an angle.
For Lindsey, there's not much he could get out of it (except $$$$).
Oh, also it might give him some satisfaction. The final say, as it were. Closure, even.

Stevie could leave FM forever and do extremely well solo.

She gets energy out of her solo shows. I saw her 3 times in the 2018-2019 tour and she just wasn't like how she was on her 24 Karat Gold Tour.
Even when she did Black Magic Woman, she just stood at the microphone and went "ah, ah, ah, ah, ah". Storms in 2018 paled in comparison to Storms on Unleashed.
Also, there weren't any new costumes on the 2018-2019 tour. And people can talk about the cardigan uprising, but SYW Tour had the best and most costumes from her in 20 years!

This is all somewhat predictable and has been since the news broke that Lindsey would not be with Fleetwood Mac "anymore." Now in recent months we have had Lindsey talk about closure and a willingness to play with them again. Mick and Lindsey talking. Lindsey saying he talked about collaborating with Mick. Mick saying he gives ultimate deference to Lindsey. The 5 will play again and the only thing I can be relatively sure of its not going to include the two people they used to replace Lindsey on the last tour. That statement is just Mick being the politician he is.

A Farewell tour. Limited to probably 30 stadium dates in largest of markets in the US, Canada and Europe. 2022.

As for Lindsey's motivation. Some is a softening of his heart, some of it ia ending their "beautiful legacy" the right way and some is a further lining of his already deep wallet and that is a nice legacy to leave for his younger wife and three children.

Lindsey saying that "Mick is weak" which translates to: Stevie has his balls.

I think Mick would do ANYTHING for a buck.

And I do mean ANYTHING. Sex with men, sell a kidney, you name it. The old sleazy dirtbag would do it, IMO.

He'd have to find some other way..I can't imagine that even the most desperate customer would pay more than a couple of bucks to shag that . I don't think there is too much of market for the 73 year old kidney of a very long term drug addict and alcoholic either. Maybe he could stand on a street corner and peddle Stevie's 42 year old panties from back when they had their tryst.

He ain't much to look at, is he?

$tevie's panties would probably smell like more than $tevie. I'd hate to think what Mick's breath smells like. It's probably a smell combination.

I'll bet he's freaky deaky in that department. I've always gotten that vibe from him.

He will sell his feces in a jar. The autograph on the jar is extra of course. But he's throwing in a coupon for 10% off your next meal at his restaurant in Hawaii when of course its not being rented out for private parties.

Think of it as an investment. Just think how much it will be worth in 20 years time.

When is your birthday btw?

He truly would.

If there's one thing in this world I'm NOT interested in, it's fecal matter. Anyone's. But even especially not interested in Mick's.

It's Dec 2nd. Don't mail me no sh*tty gifts!

David is the only Ledgie who has my address, and he no longer likes me.

Except, have we seen a willingness from Stevie? All I’ve seen is Mick and Lindsey mending fences. It’s also easy to assume Christine and Lindsey are on good terms. However, if Stevie isn’t on board, it’s simply not going to happen, and I haven’t seen anything to suggest she’d consider working with Lindsey again.

It’s Fleetwood Mac, so anything is possible, but I think it’s more likely there will be another LBCM album and tour and a tour with the current lineup than another reunion.

My feeling is that Chris and Lindsey are not on good terms because he publicly revealed that she emailed him that she had nothing to do with firing and that she believed Stevie in her heart wanted him to come home, after they settled the lawsuit. She probably hoped he would've kept that private.

Stevie said last year that she'll "probably never share a stage with Lindsey again."

Are you speculating Christine is miffed from that LB interview? Or, have you read something?

Speculating, that's why I said my feeling.

I don’t either. There’s no there there.

Very possibly. Mick is the sort of chap who throws musical pasta on the ceiling to see if it sticks. (Billy Thorpe, anyone?)

For Lindsey, there's not much he could get out of it (except $$$$).

My point, too. And for the guy who dismissed the last (current?) incarnation of the band as a . . . whatever, that would be rotten of him to do it.

Oh, also it might give him some satisfaction. The final say, as it were. Closure, even.

I don’t think by “closure,” he ever meant a Mick Fleetwood’s All-Star Band kind of thing, with all this pasta dropping from the ceiling. I think he meant the Rumours Five singing Rumours Five songs on a Rumours Five stage. (Personally, I don’t know which I’d hate more, but it’s a close race.)
