I've heard Edge of Midnight at the same location inside a store, two weeks apart.

I heard "Fleetwood Mac" mentioned in a The Last Of Us episode.

I heard YMLF 3 times on 3 different stations today. Then Gypsy on another.

I was looking for beef cuts descriptions in YT, to decide which I'll choose for my next BBQ, so I was watching a FB reel about the "inside skirt steak" and when it finished I clicked on the right arrow, thinking I'll see another reel from the same page, but it showed this:

https://www.facebook.com/reel/552138204380911

I'd answer No, cause it has been for the last 43 years, not 20.

Homer McVie's favorite Mac song was playing at a hardware store here in Australia. I have never heard it on radio etc before. It was very weird when I walked in -- I knew it was a Mac song, extremely familiar, but I couldn't pin down which one it was. I kept thinking it must be Say You Love Me, since that's a radio staple, but at the same time I knew it wasn't SYLM. After my cognitive dissonance subsided and I realized I was listening to Think About Me, I was floored.

"Songbird", today, played by me on a piano at Valence TGV train station, France. Although it was one of my better performances of it, any French travellers who might have noticed were a bit nonplussed, so I decided not to break into my rendition of "Rhiannon" which can be a bit more shaky....

So cool, I would've thanked you.

Thanks, Nathan.Just as well I don't sing along to it, though. I did once get a smattering of applause for "Songbird" when I played it on Elton John's piano at St Pancras station in London. The French may well have taste, but I suppose Christine was not much like Edith Piaff.

I was going to defend the french people, or argue that since time has passed there might not be as many fans now, but I see the Mac also didn't play in France during the Tango, BTM, SYW, OWTS, and the 1995 tours.

They did play in France on the Unleashed, Rumours and 2013 tours. Couldn't find the attendance info of those shows, but the Live CD book mentions 5,000 people for the Tusk tour Paris show. Very little audience compared with the Munich show (30,000) or the 6 London shows (8,000 each), specially since at that time Fleetwood Mac at the top of its fame.

Of course, the decision to include a city depends on several factors, but it could be said that France has not been a very attractive market for Fleetwood Mac compared to other european countries.
