Mick Fleetwood on CBS Saturday Morning

[bwboy]

Mick will be interviewed about the wildfires from two years ago in Hawaii, as well as I’m sure his recent Grammy nomination, Christine’s death, and the future of FM.

I’m glad to see him out there reminding people that Hawaii is still rebuilding. Saturday Nov 23 (check local listings for time).

I saw that. Hopefully, some interesting stuff. Have you listened to his album yet?

I got his album when it came out and it’s yet another great selection of songs from Mick with some great musicians. I think he really puts out some great “solo” albums. It also confirms to me his major influence and contributions in ALL the Fleetwood Mac albums.

I don't think he would discuss Fleetwood Mac in this interview one year after the August 2023 Maui fires.

Maybe not, but if the same person who interviewed Stevie a month ago on this same program is the one who will be interviewing Mick, it’s possible the question will come up. Stevie was asked about their future, even though the main topic was the song she wrote about defending Roe/Wade.

I haven’t. I’m just not a blues fan, which I think the album mostly is. But I hope the album is successful and that he wins whatever Grammy he’s nominated for. I really hope Mick will get WB or Rhino or whichever company owns Behind the Mask to give it the Deluxe treatment, but we’ll probably just get another rerelease of Rumours instead.

MF winning a Grammy on his own? Now that's rich.

The odds of that are better than the odds of him being able to pay his electric bill, however.

She asked Stevie about the future of FM? I know Stevie talked about not being able to sing Touched By An Angel to Christine and that she carries Christine's ashes. Also Stevie talked about being pregnant and choosing to have an abortion. I don't remember the future of FM being asked. It definitely was asked in the RollingStone interview.

Sorry, I guess I confused the Rolling Stone interview with the CBS Morning Show interview- thanks for clearing that up, UnwindedDreams.

Apparently this thread is full of misinformation thanks to me- I also said the interview with Mick would be on Saturday, but it wasn’t, so it must be on CBS Sunday Morning. Sorry about that.

Thank you for posting.

"A blank scope to paint on?" Seems like Mick is losing it, too.

"I hear you can drum, too." Good one from Tracy Smith.

That big window makes a nice backdrop for their talk.

Thanks again.

The island of Maui is a mere dot in the enormity of the vast Pacific Ocean, but it's not hard to see why millions visit every year, and why there are some who never want to leave. Fleetwood Mac founder Mick Fleetwood fell in love with Maui decades ago, and put down deep roots. "Long story, a long love affair," he said.

"But it really is your heart and your home?" I asked.

"Uh-huh. People often think, 'Oh yeah, how often are you on Maui?'" Fleetwood said. "This is my home. No other place."

As a young man he'd dreamed of a place, a club, where he could get his friends together, and 12 years ago he made it happen in the west Maui city of Lahaina: Fleetwood's on Front Street. The menu was eclectic – they served everything from Biddie's Chicken (just like Fleetwood's mom, Biddie, made it) to cookie dough desserts dreamed up by his children. It was also a place where Mick and friends could play. "We created, I created, a band of people under a roof," he said. "Instead of a traveling circus, it was a resident circus at Fleetwood's on Front Street."

And then, in August of 2023, the music stopped.

A wind-driven fire tore through western Maui, killing more than a hundred people, and consuming more than 2,000 buildings. Fleetwood was in Los Angeles when the fire started, and he hurried back to a scene of utter devastation.

Nearly one year on, the mental toll of the deadly Lahaina wildfire lingers ("CBS Evening News")
They survived Maui's deadly wildfires. Now many are suffering from food insecurity and deteriorating health
And his beloved restaurant? A charred sign was about all that was left.

I said, "I understand your not wanting to be, 'Me, me, me,' especially in light of the lives that were lost, the homes that were lost; you don't want to make too big of a deal out of a restaurant."

"No."

"But at the same time, this was your family. This was your home. That must've been a huge loss."

"It was a huge loss," Fleetwood said. "And in the reminding of it, that wave comes back. Today knowing we're doing this, I go, like, Okay, this is gonna be … a day."

We took a walk with Fleetwood down the street where his place once stood: the last time he was here, the place was still smoldering. "Literally, parts of it were still hot," he said.

More than a year later, the Lahaina waterfront is still very much a disaster zone.

The decision about what to do with the land is still up in the air; the priority is housing for the displaced residents. But Fleetwood says he's determined to rebuild, just maybe not in the same place.

Asked what he pictures in a new place, he said, "For me, it has to encompass being able to handle playing music. There has to be music. We had it every day. That's a selfish request!"

But before anything is rebuilt, there's still a massive cleanup that needs to be completed here.

"We will see," he said. "You have a blank [canvas] to paint on, and there's a lot of painting to do.

"You have to be careful, even in this conversation, of going like, 'How sad that was,' when really it's about, 'Yes, but now we need this.' In the end you go like, it happened. And what's really important is absorbing maybe how all these things happened, and can they be circumnavigated to be more safe in the future, and be more aware? Of course that's part of it. But the real, real essence is the future."

Fleetwood's ukelele is one of the few things that survived the fire, and he's hoping his dream survives as well.

I thought it was a charming, heartfelt interview. He said the right things, and he was suitably humble. Loved his noodling on the ukulele at the end.

He's great when he's not being run by other band members.

Is this going to be syndicated to Australian TV?
If not, can someone film/record it on their American TV and post it here on The Ledge -- PLEASE?
