Bah dah dah dah dah daah…

For my entire life, I've LOATHED any article that refers to the guitarist as the "ax-man". Juvenile journalism at it's best.

OK!! So it was “An Evening with Fleetwood Mac”!! You win!

You didn’t need to dredge up all those articles, Steve — they all get the same promo packet from the band. The press and ersatz press all call it whatever the band management tells them to call it!

The talk in the News press wires that Stevie Nicks is making overtures to Lindsey Buckingham.
And wishes to have a deep meaningful talk with him..
To heal their broken relationship…

It’s undecided whether she has danced around her kitchen till she is giddy and worn out her ballet pumps.
Or
Karen has just read her the figures for Oasis’s 17 night tour (Gb and Ireland only)
The Short tour will make in excess of 600 million dollars …
Over 65 million for each brother..
And sold out within a day.
Money talks ….

Hey sue. I don't see Stevie making overtures to Lindsey. You know she sold out Hyde on her own, as well as the biggest UK arenas in Manchester and Glasgow. She also sold out Dublin and Amsterdam's arenas.

I could see Stevie bringing Mick and John along for a FM set in her solo show. Bill it as Stevie Nicks with Fleetwood Mac: "Playing Stevie Nicks' Solo and Fleetwood Mac Hits and Celebrating Christine McVie's Music." They can do Dreams, Rhiannon, Gold Dust Woman, Say You Love Me, Everywhere, You Make Loving Fun, The Chain, Little Lies, Don't Stop, and an arrangement of Songbird with Mick on the talking drum and John too.

I think Stevie wants Lindsey out of her life and her history.

I know really…
Just a little fun.
But I would think Mick’s mind was in overdrive when he saw the figures forecast for the Oasis tour..
They are phenomenal for such a short tour

So your "The talk in the News press wires..." was just a joke? Cause I was going to ask you about where you read it, to see if it's reliable. Even so, I am always skeptical about what I read in the media, unless it is direct interviews.

Anyway, in Stevie's microuniverse everything is possible. I really believe her brain has damaged parts. That doesn't make me sad, I must admit.

Yes, sorry just a figment of my imagination..
Though
When I read The Oasis figures…it did flash through my mind…

I don’t know much about the Oasis history, just some headlines about the Gallagher brothers who insulted each other. But I’ve seen some The Police docs and understand their fights were focused on the music they made, the arrangements, the song selection, etc. Andy and Stewart attended Sting and Trudie's wedding, so I assume that the friendship, although it could be affected, had not disappeared (of course, when they were asked to play something at the party, that's when they started arguing again). So a reunion was possible and we finally were lucky to see them in the 2007 last tour.

But in the case of S&L I don't think the friendship will recover. Although as I said, everything is possible, I highly doubt it.

With no offense intended, this almost falls under "fan fiction", which isn't allowed here.

You can't believe even major news outlets these days. More fake news isn't helping.

John AIN'T doing this. Mick? Yes.

I HOPE she still wants nothing to do with him. She already ruined it, and it's too late, now.

I see what you mean ..though the premise was an honest one.
…….What would bring Stevie and Lindsey back onto a stage ?
Money…that’s what.
Yes making out it was headline news was fiction…point taken.
I didn’t think anyone would take it seriously !!

I don't think Stevie would ever make overtures towards Lindsey. The only way it would happen is if Mick's persuasion worked and then she still would not do it. Mick would be the one pulling the strings. Perhaps he convinces her that he's almost broke again and convinces her to partake in a goodbye swansong for the band. The only reason I think it will happen is because of Lindsey. I cant really understand it but Lindsey has always said he would go back and has had several olive branches towards Mick. I do believe Stevie has guilt of her actions from 2018. I dont think she wants a Yoko Ono legacy with the band. She forgave Mick and came back to the Mac after their big fight in 1991. I think there will some sort of reunion that may not include John. It may not be a tour but I think Stevie and Lindsey will be on stage together again. Why? Because the history of this band tells me so.

Another way that is often a reason for reconciliation is when someone is in danger due to very poor health, and their lost friend returns to heal wounds "before it's too late". But Lindsey already had a serious health episode in 2019 and Stevie sent her a "get well" greeting and that was it. So Mick's intervention might be the only option, but I still wouldn't want to see them (the band) together again.

I’m sure nothings off the table but to paraphrase Lindsey from the 1997 tour - time limits them at this point. They’re getting to be too old and Lindsey for whatever reason is taking way too much time off. At their age, they really need to keep the juices flowing if they want to continue to play live shows well into their 70’s and 80’s. Stevie, for better or worse, is taking a clue from how the Rolling Stones have been approaching this late stage of their careers. For the last 12 years the Stones have done some type of annual short tour, with the exception of 2020. Usually a 12-15ish show tour over a 2-3 month period. From my view it keeps the wheels turning (for the entire band/operation). If it’s not medical related, then I have to wonder if LB ever cares to take the stage or tour again at this point. These are horrible years for someone his age to simply go into hiding.

I think Lindsey is obsessed with being accepted back into the fold. He's already been publicly humiliated, but needs to show the he's still "the man"(whether he's now a eunuch or not).

Tusk Lindsey would kick this Lindsey to the curb. It's pathetic.
