They didn't look happy

Finally, someone I agree with. I respect his decision not to continue with Fleetwood Mac, and I understand that recording Tango wasn't the most pleasant experience. But initially, he did agree to go on the road for eight weeks, and then he changed his mind and left the band after all the plans had been made. That was a bad move, to say the least. Unlike Christine, who I understand announced her departure well in advance.

But regarding Billy and Rick, or the release date of OOTC, I do think many things would have changed or not happened, but it's hard to predict the butterfly effect in detail. Perhaps Behind the Mask wouldn't have existed, or perhaps it would have. Perhaps Time would have been the next album, released earlier, or perhaps it wouldn't have existed at all. Perhaps The Dance would have been the reunion after Fleetwood Mac's ten-year total (any lineup) hiatus. Who knows?
