I'm DISGUSTED by all four of them, but Stevie and Mick in particular. They're all greedy old douches.

She can't tell a story without naming Lindsey. He was part of her life for the past 53 years. So, I don't know how she's gonna do it now.

Gold Dust Woman with 20 minutes of dancing! I am enjoying this tour already.

And Neil Finn is going in for this?!
And you wonder why Stevie's fans are excited? This is Heaven for them!

Mick: Lindsey, your fired.
Yeah, pretty much.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions.

I feel like it’s inevitable that we will hear a Fleetwood Mac version of “Don’t Dream It’s Over” on this tour.

Come to think of it, now Mick can recite his These Strange Times and whack himself for half an hour! Happy happy joy joy indeed for Fleetwood Mac all around.

Seriously though I don't know how much Chris was involved in this. After Buckingham revived her musical chops she now cuts him dead like this? I may be wrong, but I have always suspected that the country English lady facade concealed something more steely. Sad to say Welch was probably more right about her than we wanted to think.

Stevie: Mick, Lindsey told Lily to p!ss off. I didn't like his tone. Get rid of him.

Mick: Lindsey, you're fired.


seriously. they are so childish. you know petty sh!t is why this happened.

I am primarily a Stevie fan and I am absolutely not excited. In fact, I am outraged and disgusted. The magic of Fleetwood Mac is GONE without all 5 members of the Rumours lineup present. I waited years for Christine to return, and now this. I'm sorry to say, but the remaining 4 have made a HUGE mistake by agreeing to tour WITHOUT Buckingham! Do they need to be reminded of the blandness and mediocrity of Burnett/Vito/Bramlett/Mason? That's exactly what this will be. No one can effectively replace Buckingham in this band.

I'm afraid that I agree. As my favorite member, I've done my best to forgive her keeping Bob out of the hof. This is too much though. I'm over them all!

I'm calling for a BOYCOTT of this tour! These spoiled brats need to be taught a lesson!

Imagine Time II There is no one in this lineup who can create a coherent musical universe for everyone to exist in.

As another post said, screw it! Why don't we just go ahead and add Sheryl Crow and Vanessa Carlton to the lineup? We can sit in the audience and wonder why the hell we came. For that matter, let's call Billy Burnett while we're at it. Since we've paving the road to d-list hell, why not go for the full effect!
