Not a bad idea. But I can’t seem to muster much enthusiasm, even for this prospect. I mean, the fact that they have so many people playing on stage and they still sound as if they were all either in pain or newly awakened from a sound sleep probably means that this outfit’s old vigor is shot. Time is heartless, but the band is foolish. They’ve reached an ironic impasse where they sound best in a controlled studio environment yet insist on only playing concerts, where they can’t hide their depleted energy.

She really is a witch. She got a bunch of talented people to turn her non-sensical rants into hits and then got the biggest sucker, Lindsey, fired. That's spell craft. And Mick is a no talent, former junkie, who for some reason is the leader of the band. Lindsey could play drums better than him. Two of the least talented people run the band. It's sickening.

Mick Fleetwood is the leader of Fleetwood Mac? Who could have seen that coming?!?

And, most of them were junkies.

In all seriousness, Fleetwood Mac never didn’t have Top 40 albums when he managed them.

I have friends who rave about their bidets. They're at the bottom of the list.

What nerve!

Mick and Seedy actually did a great job of managing the band from 1975 until he was fired. They were a “clean” band for a top-echelon band. They weren’t grotesquely crass, like teen idols and movie soundtracks, and they had a class and sophistication in the market that was probably a result of Seedy saying “no” to a bunch of rotten ideas from various Sidney Falcos in the rock industry. The five of them made their most important decisions, not the label.

Mick changed. And I guess the other members of the band changed, too. Jim, thoughts?

Christine is my mother, and I inherited her tremendous fear of flying.

You buy me a ticket, and I'll drink a pint of whiskey and somehow manage to get on the plane!

I just don’t see Stevie agreeing to a reunion this time. She’s already way too pissed at Mick right now. They had a deal hahaha. Hopefully she will want to spend another decade on her Rhiannon movie and half baked products that people will listen to once and toss aside. She’d be such a negative cloud as part of any kind of reunion, why do it at this point.

Do you mean the Rhiannon project $he's been talking about since the 1970's? Yeah, it should be finished any time now...

$he's such an idiot.

Just imagine Fleetwood Mac could have had their own Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart's Club or Xanadu like movie musical! It makes me giddy to consider the possibilities !

I don't know what compelled me, but I actually just watched Red Rocks for the first time in years not long ago. It was worse than I remembered.
