Oh Stevie, how could you?

Fleetwood Mac made a long-awaited return to LA last week, allowing a fact-finding visit to the cheap seats sideways-on to the stage.

This revealed that Stevie Nicks now benefits from a TV next to her microphone, screening lyrics to Go Your Own Way, Dreams, and all the other old hits.

Ms Nicks is 61, and those years of rocking and rolling have no doubt taken their toll on her memory. But an autocue feels rum: Mac fans are surely entitled to expect better than a glorified version of karaoke.

I know - they act like it is the end of the world -- moreover, I have never seen her look at it during a song

Didn't Ralph Berkowitz used to give concerts with the score on his piano?

Stuff like that never bothered me, although I did enjoy it over the years when Stevie forgot the words ("Dreams" at the Cotton Bowl, July 1978).
