That went over my head.

Some people are upset while others
seem to not care at all about the
new album.

I think I'm somewhere in the middle.

I don't feel like they owe me (us) a new
album. But even if they decide to give
us one will it be good?

That's my only concern. 36+ years since
the last legitimate good album. Maybe others
are thinking the same thing?

Lindsey and Christine just need to put what they've done out there.

Yes. As Fleetwood Mac since Mick and John are playing on it.

Or as Buckingham Perfekt if they are not. And tour acoutically, guitar and a piano, just the 2 of them!

In fact, even the definition of the word "fan" (fanatic) doesn't call for positive devotion. Unstinting adoration is not a requirement. You need only be zealous or obsessive. I think we qualify.

I LOVE that you're open to all points of view. And no, I'm not kissing up, I REALLY love it!

Well, yes. There's nothing to say somebody hasn't been working on Tango at the same time as Mirage. In fact, perhaps that's why the Mirage date was pushed back. Maybe working on Tango led to some changes to the Mirage set. I haven't kept up with what has been proposed to feature on Mirage but I was thinking Mirage and TITN might be quicker to bang out than Tusk as the original albums were single discs. Anyway, my hope is they'll go into the anniversary year with TITN somewhere already in the charts.

No they DO owe us because they said they would be recording an album before they went on their last tour. Pretty much they only reason to see them again was that they were going to make new music. I really feel they FAKED that they weren't anymore then an oldies act so that they could sell more tickets.

I'm feeling this way, too. There is new music waiting to be completed (the RS journalist described a couple of the tracks in the article), but I think the motive behind telling the public they were working on it was to make them seem less mercinary than they actually are. I fell hook line and sinker.

i give Lindsey and Christine way more credit than that. i think their motive was the same one as Mick's playboy interview - to get Nicks onboard with what they were doing.


now, what i do question is why they just don't release new music without her. it might be greed, or inertia, or there is something in the FM contracts giving her the power to stop the release.

You're right. I do think LB and CM in particular are creatively-inclined and eager to move forward. If what you say about Stevie possibly having power to stop an FM release if she isn't on it is true, then that makes her behavior all the more appalling. However, I think it's just the knowledge that if she isn't on it, it won't sell as much, and that, unfortunately, is a bottom-line consideration for this version of band.

But let's go with your theory (which is unfortunately quite possible). In the past, Christine once had a lot of power than she seems to have now. Her being gone for 16 years has changed the dynamic. Stevie wouldn't have nearly this much power to hold the band hostage had Christine never left.

I'd bet my right arm Stevie has no such power. A clause in an FM contract is pure speculation that makes it easier to continue blaming Stevie rather than admit the other four just don't have as much artistic integrity as some want them to. A simple statement of "We're going to spend the next 6 months recording and releasing the final Fleetwood Mac album" could have only two outcomes: either Stevie comes running with her tail between her legs not wanting to be left out, or she passes on the project and thanks her lucky stars she's not trapped in a studio with Lindsey.

There are no hostages, but there are some wimps.

This makes a lot of sense.

you seem to think Stevie would be a hostage in the studio. so are there hostages, or no?

Okay, in that scenario, there is one.
