Mick Fleetwood wants the LB/SN rift to heal

[soul_drifter333]

This. Instead of Mick and Stevie doing fluff media pieces promoting themselves and blaming others for the band's current situation they should take responsibility for their own part. I think that the situation would have gone over better if it was handled better. Even if they don't think they did anything wrong, for the sake of the fans and the band's longtime crew, Mick and Stevie both should apologize. Haven't heard anything close to that yet, That disasterous interview on the morning show was such an embrassment. All it would take is for Stevie to say: I'm sorry to the fans that have supported and followed us for the last 40+ years, but the situation has become such that it is an unhealthy situation for everyone, so some tough decisions had to be made. We regret that it has come to this but at this point of our career we value and support a more healthy working envirnoment. Or something to that effect. Instead all we got, and are still getting are denials, and a squirm show as they toss the blame around and everything that they have worked for in the trash. Egos gone amuck and no one to keep them in check, especially not their money hungry manager.

For all the deniers and worshippers, anyone who has followed the band for any amount of time know about the constant fighting between Lindsey & Stevie, so it's more than obvious that Stevie (and Azoff) were responsible for Lindsey's firing and the way it was handled. Just as fans are constantly reminding everyone of the successful solo career Stevie is curently enjoying, makes the fact that she destoyed the band all the much disturbing. She should have left the band gracefully and enjoyed her solo sucess, but all we are still getting are attention seeking denials. Makes me wonder why I followed and supported these people all these years.

But Nicks should have told the world her intentions and explain why she was firing Lindsey and hiring her friend Mike Campbell. Instead she stayed silent and let Mick do the trash talking. Good grief the things Mick was saying about Lindsey were incredible. The band was not happy with Lindsey and to be happy Lindsey needed to be gone. Then he went on to say that Lindsey would never come back to the band and this was a final decision. Stevie used Mick like a puppet. But Mick went along just for the money. If he simply cared about the rift then do that privately. Don't involve the fans, the media or us. But we know why he's going public. His intentions are financial for healing the rift which makes him scumbag of the year again. They year is only half over but he already gets my vote. Its so cynical. There are other bands that fire members. But there has never been this puppet show back and forth. Like I said earlier, if he really cared about the rift they could have put the breaks on the tour for a bit. But he wanted that cash too much.
