What does your family/significant other/friends think of your love of Fleetwood Mac?

[MissLadyLoki]

My mom has never been to crazy for 'em at all and just tolerates them (but she does admit that she did like Lindsey pre-haircut, which I do have to agree with her on lol). She's more of one for more bizarre bands, like Pink Floyd, Jetho Tull, and REM.

My dad is most definitely a fan and got me started on them when he told me to check out Go Your Own Way (still my favorite FM song to this day). He owns Rumours on vinyl (which I inherited), Tango in the Night on CD, and swore he either owned Tusk the album, or that the song Tusk was on Tango. Either way, he was the one that went with me to see them last year (see ticket in my avatar). Still, they are one of my favorite rock bands.

My parents tolerate my music. My Mom likes FM, but I wouldn't say she's a fan. My dad is the same way only he likes them a little less. My brother has rumours on his Ipod, but i'm pretty sure he only likes one or two of the songs (both Stevie), so he's not really a fan either.

My aunt introduced me to them, so of course she's a fan. She doesn't listen to them as much as I do, but she looooooves Stevie, and Identifies with a lot of her songs like I do.

I, of course, love all 3 members of Fleetwood Mac, and they kinda represent 3 elements of my personality (imaginary Stevie, imaginary Lindsey, etc.)

My dogs are absolutley obsessed with FM, and they're really starting to freak me out, building a shrine to Lindsey and such.

My Husband doesn't quite get my love for all things Mac...but he tolerates it. My brother thinks it is silly, but he LOVES Dave Mathews and has seen him in concert about 10 times and plans on seeing him twice this summer so I don't know what his problem is... My Mom likes them and she has gone to see Stevie and Fleetwood Mac with me, and she knows how important they were to me when I was growing up. I guess you could say she appreciates how much they mean to me. My son...(he is 13) tolerates my obsession...but he really does like both Stevie and Fleetwood Mac. I took him to see them last spring and he now has a poster on his wall from that concert.

They're concerned...to say the least.

Recently I saw my therapist and I mentioned my obsession. I tried to tell her how bad it was... that sometimes I didn't go out with my friends because I want to watch Stevie videos, that I have spent many days at work not working so I could read concert reviews and watch videos from Unleashed, that I almost lost a dear friend over an arguement over Green Day's cover of Landside. IT IS NOT BETTER THAN STEVIE. The therapist just looked at me and said "What issss it about Stevie ? My husband loves her too...oh, you know what? I have a jacket that I want to give you, it looks like something Stevie would wear." Oh geez. I then proceed to spray Fracas for her to smell.

All the same I suppose.

It's wild that you go to talk to someone and they almost try to perpetuate your obsession with SN by giving you a jacket like she would wear!

I took a lot of heat for loving FM when I was growing up. This was the early eighties and bands like Rush, Zepplin, and Sabbath still ruled the High Schools. FM was considered "pussy music." But I didn't care. I loved them and that's that. My family thought I was unhealthily obsessed, one of my brothers mocked me pretty bad when I started the pre-BN albums. But you know what? These days, that same brother has a drum kit in his house and listens to Mick's parts all the time, especially "GYOW" and "Black Magic Woman."

At any rate, I've never tried to qualify my love for the band and that's that. I might have stepped away from them from time to time (I recall losing interest in them from 1988-93) but I came back around again.

And no, this therapist wasn't me.

Well I'm delighted that finally my 3 teenage boys enjoy singing & bopping away to F/Mac & Stevie's Enchanted B/Set whilst driving around town, though they do think it's weird that I stay up till 2 am on The Ledge & listen to mainly SN & F/Mac with my headphones. Come to think, they may have a point

Oh, are you a therapist? Just so happens I'm in the market for a new one. Do you accept fringed leather jackets as payment?

This is obviously an awesome therapist! (Could it have been a twin of mine I never knew about perhaps? )
