He never uses the word “brand” when talking about her. “Blazing a trail,” on the other hand, is a phrase used for someone who’s got a lot of passion and is seen as a leader in their field. Not saying I agree or disagree, but to me the language feels like he still thinks highly of her.

I reread the article. You are correct. He doesn't say brand. Sorry about that.

Not directly related to Fleetwood Mac , but…

FFS, if the Heartbreakers wanted to do shows, there’s one stupidly, blatantly obvious guy to take the helm. He’s an artist in his own right, his voice would work well on Tom’s songs, and he’s not remotely intimidated by walking in the footsteps of an American legend.

Lukas Nelson.

Lukas Nelson.

Mike sounds pretty darn close to Tom and isn't an outside singer. But I just don't know that he can fulfill that frontman role like Tom did in that band.

I agree, which is why I think Lukas Nelson is the guy.

Mike says he talked to Mick recently and discussed Fleetwood Mac and Mick said it all "hinges on Stevie?"
I see a Sheryl Crow-esque Fleetwood Mac reunion in the future. It may not even include John. But if Mick said that means he's asking Stevie or begging Stevie once she is done with her tour.
Mick needs money/

Humm.. he said "“I spoke to Mick [Fleetwood] not too long ago, and it’s kind of up to Stevie if she wants to go in that direction".

I don't think Stevie would be interested to re activate the band. Besides, no Lindsey, no Christine, and very likely no John, there is no point.

If Mick needs money again, she could hired him as drummer in her solo tours, and sing more Mac songs (if that means more revenue to Mick).

Call it Fleetwood Nicks, but don't call it Fleetwood Mac. Please God, no. Enough destruction for your ego. Enough is enough is enough.

You have not been paying attention. (Unfortunately) Lindsey has always said he would go back. Mick changed his tune too and said he was open to having Lindsey back. Its true Stevie does not need Fleetwood Mac. But IMHO she has guilt that the only way she in her mind can get over it is to make (fake) amends with Lindsey on stage again. Its very predictable. It may not be a long tour but I have always said it would happen. Its not what I want to happen but I strongly believe it will happen. Stevie is proving she can still do it. Lindsey can still do it. Mick can do it and needs money. I think John is done though. I can see Dan Perfect being asked to partake.
BTW all of this is in the upcoming book.

Lukas Nelson.

A bit of name recognition helps when replacing someone as famous as Tom Petty was. Admittedly, I’m out of the loop when it comes to music today, but I have no idea who Lukas Nelson is.

I did sound for him 4-5 years ago. He's a nice, talented guy.

He actually has two, the other being Micah. He also has a daughter, Paula, who sings and is a SiriusXM radio host.

Lukas is also an amazing guitarist.
