Now THAT would be something very very cool. Sadly, no record company will let them record in style (house in Bel Air) like that and, therefore, I do not see Mick doing it. But, the concept is HUGE IMO.

A double bill with Buckingham/Nicks and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, perhaps.......just a little idea, no such scuttle.....but it would seem natural.

Actually, I think Mick would be into it, and would probably be the only person who could pull it off. I read Mick's book not long ago and one clear thing that comes through is his true love for FM and it's entire legacy. He considers any players that were a part of the band as a sort of "extended family", and get has stayed in touch with the original guys. Danny is probably a very long shot, but the others are reachable. And Mick has tremendous respect for Greeny's position as the guy who started it all. Mick has also been instrumental in getting early Mac stuffed released in recent years.

Well, with Mick talking about the possibility of a reunion of the original band, it's hard to say which Fleetwood Mac he's referring to these days.

Now, we cannot give up. If everyone keeps saying it wont happen then it wont and as odd and messed up it sounds for him to make a solo album..I am sure it will happen...Just beleive and you will receive.

Screw the tour, does anyone else see something wrong with this age? Won't Stevie be turning 57 herself in May?!?!? I thought Mick was much older than her.

"The 57-year-old drummer for Fleetwood Mac said his partial
hearing loss is why he became involved in Monday's experimental
"quiet" rock concert at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in which
about 100 people took part, with mixed results."

That's a shame about his hearing loss. I guess back when he first started he didn't use ear plugs, but I don't think this "quiet" rock concert is the answer. This kind of concert experience wouldn't impress me at all.

No, he's not that much older than her-- This year LB will turn 56, Stevie will turn 57, Mick will turn 58, John will turn 60 and Chris will turn 62. So many articles get their ages wrong.

I've read many articles with Mick's birthdate being in 1942, not 1947. I've sometimes suspected that Mick at some point shaved five years off his age. He certainly looks more than just one year older than Stevie & there's no way he looks four years younger than Chris.

I don't know, I kinda think he looks ok for 57! But I like older guys.

Chris has said she felt like 'a big sister' to the guys.... Men don't seem to care as much about that 'age' stuff.... for some reason I believe him!

Then again, Mick at one point was the manager of Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, John McVie, Christine McVie, AND Bob Welch. That would add five years to anybody's life. As he said, it's no wonder he went bald!

Thank you Lis!
Queen of the Penguin...I am so glad you cleared up the age thing with Mick. So many people seem to think he is so much older than Stevie..you know old enough to have fallen in love with Jenny was Stevie was ten years old. Um, nope. Stevie doesn't normally write that literally anyway. She means VERY YOUNG...sorry for the rant. Micks age is such a issue with me and Beautiful Child.

True. But his energylevel on stage is at least 30 years younger than those ladies.

The man looks fabulous.

Basically my feeling is that when he filled out that Melody Maker Chart in 1969, he wrote his bday as 6/24/47-- and why would a 21 yr old lie about his age? (well maybe to appear older so he could drink etc but that wasn't an issue anyway!)

The falling in love w/ Stevie when she was 10 bit is beyond my scope of Stevie knowledge LOL. IMO she just chose the age ten because it rhymed w/ 'then'!
