Default Happy Birthday Mick
Yeah, you’re as popular as a pocket protecter around here these days, but I probably wouldn’t have fallen in love with the music of Danny Kirwan, Christine McVie, Bob Welch, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Billy Burnette, Rick Vito, or Bekka Bramlett without you. Thanks!

you are being generous with the pocket protector comment, although, oodles of truth to it. Happy B-Day Mick--hope your cake doesn't blow up in your face!

Something is always blowing up in his face, isn't it?! Happy birthday Mick. I wish you many uncomfortable meet and greets where disgruntled fans hold your feet to the fire.

Mick, you old DOUCHEBAG, I hope you live ~just~ long enough to realize what a douchebag you truly are.

All the members of those versions of Fleetwood Mac 'gave' us Fleetwood Mac. Mick didn't know Stevie and Lindsey were going to be great when he signed them on-- he didn't even want Stevie to begin with!
I don't even think Mick is a douche or a bad person or anything, I just think that he's pretty shameless when it comes to money.

Default Alternate history
(Probably quite inappropriate for a 'happy bday' thread, but seeing as he's currently on the nose big time anyway--)

I'd be fascinated to read everyone's speculation about how everything FM/SnL-related would have played out (in the late 90s through today) had Mick kicked the bucket around the Time era.

Happy Birthday, Mick!

You might be on everyone’s ****list (mine included) but it’s primarily because of you we have anything called Fleetwood Mac beyond THEN PLAY ON.

And thanks for the super drumming...

Happy Birthday Mick!

Thanks for the band, and the music. I'm forever grateful

Don't expect too much love from the ledge. Many fans blame you for what just occurred which seems unfair to me, as we still don't know exactly what happened.

Have a super, fun filled, Birthday!
