Your Fleetwood Mac "Profile"

[nicepace]

Age Range: I was in college when I became a fan in 1975. You do the arithmetic.

Gender: girl

When you became a fan: In 1974 or 1975, don't remember exactly.

How you became a fan: I was introduced to the band by a classmate shortly before the 'White Album' was released. When the 'White Album' came out I bought a copy and at first thought Lindsey was the girl and Stevie the guy! (Well, Stevie Wonder and Stevie Winwood are guys, right?) When I saw them for the first time in Oct. of '75 I was hooked for life.

First 3 FM songs: I heard the 5 Bob Welch era albums first so all the songs from them.

First FM vocalist: I guess Christine, Bob, Danny and to a lesser extent Jeremy.

Favorite FM Time Period: Welch era, although I like them all (with the possible exception of the Bekka era ... sorry ... can't stand her singing style.)

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: Impossible to quantify. Christine is #1 by a country mile, but everybody else is on there too.

Concerts you've attended: I think I saw the full 'Rumours' era band six times. I've seen Christine, Bob and Peter once each.

FM stuff you own: All the albums, most of them on both CD and vinyl, most in multiple copies. All of Christine's solo records, all of Bob's (I think) and quite a few solo records by other members. I have a couple of books. A t-shirt from the Tusk tour and a t-shirt from the Christine tour.

Favorite thing about FM: The music; the variety of the music throughout their history; and the fact that the band survives, no matter what.

Least favorite thing about FM: The fact that they are sometimes put in a category with "soft rock" or "California rock" bands. They are so much better than that. Other least favorite things are the absence of Christine, and the relatively short tenure of the brilliant Danny.

Are you the same fan your where [sic] when you started: Of course not.

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: I'll go with Peter, Mick, John and Christine.

You wish for the future of the Mac: That their music will live forever and that people 100 years from now will still be listening.

Do you have the pink Legendary Christine Perfect or a Blue Horizon? If it's the latter please post a picture!

...and somewhere a fairy (or is it a kitten, I can't remember) dies of a broken heart because you don't like Bekka...
