Thanks for posting this. It brings back memories. I was in Jr High and remember bringing this to study hall. I forgot how much it sort of mocks Stevie for not talking to them and even brings up not talking to Rolling Stone with the band.
One thing I agree with is her confidence on stage with Fleetwood Mac really changed post Bella Donna. Creem also accurately predicted that her voice was going and getting fried. Its crazy to think Lindsey wanted to be done with touring at age 45. IDK, this article seems just as dysfunctional as the band at the time. I always loved that photo of Chris with the cigarette.

Good read, thank you.

My favorite part is the idea of SN making her points to record executives using stuffed animals.

And, how many of her bouts with walking pneumonia were really just hangovers?

John McVie enjoys a "a good dump," and sailing.

Yes. I wonder if John meant sicknesses like a neumonia, or seeing them too high, when he answered "seeing them sick" about the least thing he liked during the tour.

Fantastic article! I do remember it, but it was great to see it again. So nostalgic to look back on this and know how everything turned out. Thank you for posting.

I am sure they were worse than hangovers. She was already in bad shape and then Robin died mid tour. She could not have been that "sick" because they made up the dates in record time. When John says he hates to see them "sick" could imply sick as in sick in the head or code language for drug addiction.
