New book on FM coming out

[dissention]

Carol Ann Harris was a studio manager

I thought she was a secretary?

For the next eight years she was Lindsey's consort, muse, lover and guardian.

Muse?

Guardian?

(April 28, 2005)

We're in for a long wait, folks!

[shackin'up]

i wonder....will Lindsey still be my hero after reading this?

[greatdarkwing]

Carol Ann's book should be interesting...

Well as for Carol Ann's book, I'm sure that it's full of juicy details, but then so was Mick's... thanks to its disappointing fiction-to-truth ratio. Keep that in mind if she 'reveals' any secreat 'truths'!

Holy moly--Carol Ann's writing a book?! Although I would hate to give her one dime for what I am sure will be some serious gossipy trash, the allure is just too compelling! But I saw the release date was April 28, 2005 too, long time to wait. Hey maybe it will coincide with Lindsey's solo album release!

Can you order a book through Amazon UK to be delivered to the US?
I'd love to read Carol Ann's book.

And I've got the "Never Break the Chain" book last week. It's really pretty interesting so far. She interviewed a lot of the studio folks who were there around the making of Rumours. And get this--she cites the Penguin a lot and says it's really the best online source for info on the Mac--yeah, like we didn't already know that!!!

Back when she was with Lindsey, she was just "Carol." These days, she's "Carol Ann"? Isn't Carol Ann the little girl in "Poltergeist"? There is absolutely no connection between the unfortunate little chit & the rock star's crazy ex who spills all on talk shows.

Until a decent author-researcher comes along who acquires proper access to primary sources (instead of just poring over old newspaper & magazine clippings), we'll never get a genuinely good book on Fleetwood Mac.

I'd like to send all these writers of past FM books a copy each of Jacques Barzun & Henry Graff's "The Modern Researcher." They could all stand a primer on fundamental scholarship techniques.

Fabulous. Carol Ann's book will coincide with the release of Lindsey's solo album. I'm sure Lindsey will be stoked to know that Way to ride the Fleetwood Mac train.

Well, it could be a boon in that if people actually are interested in the 20 year old story that she has to tell, which essentially is a repeat of a topic the Mac itself has IMO exhausted - then maybe LB's record will benefit from the attention!!!!!!!!

Wishful thinking, David. Sadly, I don't think it will ever happen for us unless Stevie decides to write something of her own as she has said she would eventually. We'll be waiting another 20 years for that i'm afraid.

You and I could probably write a book with much more accurate detail and substance. Hmm...

Ahh..you never know. Even if he doesn't benefit, she certainly will if it sells enough copies. Hey, she needs to keep up with those cheek implants you know

That's interesting.

The publisher actually wrote us and asked if we'd be interested in a review copy/promoting it-- I said perhaps, and asked if they'd spoken to any members for the book or if the info was obtained primarily from previous interviews etc. I see above that at least they did talk to some studio people.

Haven't heard back from her yet....??
