Well, hell, until now I had no idea I was a butch woman either just because I was a Stevie fan!

Sorry if I think that Stevie is great.....
You took the words right out of my mouth. People these days think being a man, is being tough, strong, and listen to hardcore rock, it's about being responisble, and taking care of your family. I say f**k em These type of people have no clue what Stevie does live. She's so different, and much more energetic.

Okay, so their album has been out since...oh....what? March? And it took him this long to write a review? He's probably bitter that Come is about Anne Heche and not him. Ha!

I wasn't aware I was butch or that all you men were effeminate. Of course, this is probably coming from a man that still dances to the Macarena and thinks Britney Spears deserves an Oscar for her amazing performance in CROSSROADS.

SURRRRRVEEEEY SAYS! Asshole. Yep.

Hey, I guess we tracked down Jonathan Todd at his new gig. Sounds like sour grapes from a disgruntled former employee.

- Effeminate male, butch female, or comfortable with myself Jake
(These are my options?)

It is badly written. It's from that breed of pseudo-intelligent blather on politics or art that Orwell, in his essay on the decline of English, describes as, "at its worst, not consisting of words picked out for the sake of their meaning, nor images invented in order to make the meaning clearer. It consists in gumming together long strips of words which have already been set in order by someone else, and making the results presentable by sheer humbug. The attraction of this way of writing is that it is easy. ".

Here, there are a lot of words. Yet, I have read it twice and concluded that there is no discernable meaning; I would, in fairness, say that I get a general 'impression' (ie, he seems to like the band, he doesn't seem to like the band), but I don't even get the gist!

I think that JS is right about giving this guy too much credit, because even if he is intending to be witty and light-hearted, it's pretty clear that he the least of us knows what he's going on about!

Not to mention you like to pay for everybody's rounds. So you're a generous drunk.

Congratulations "Dave Queen", you win my award for "stupidest* Fleetwood Mac-related piece of 'writing' I've ever read in my life."

* = in every sense.

Gldstwmn, on the other hand, took out several rows of tables in the hotel bar - at least that is what the story is up to now!!!
