CALENDAR SECTION, baby!!!!!! L.A. Times!!!!!!!!

I rarely missed a fleetwood mac tv appearance. I sat there with my vcr primed & ready many a morning & night. Plus the rock mags like circus used to run schedules of radio interviews. Believe me, you found out everything you needed to know without the aid of the Internet. The only thing you generally didn't know about were the local things in other parts of the country. For that, you had to rely on your fan network, of which I was always a member. So I had people send me tapes of stuff that was happening in, say, cleveland on wmms.
