"Summer Break" predictions?

louielouie2000 · #1 06-05-2009, 01:21 PM

So what do we think the Mac will be doing during the time period between the end of their North American tour, and their European dates? Will everyone scatter to their seperate homes and relax with family? Will they start noodling in the studio together or seperately perhaps? Or are they recharging for a possible worldwide Unleashed tour? Or will they just spend their time changing diapers?

I suspect everyone will run home to their families and spend time with their kids for the summer. I honestly don't see any "work" at all happening in regards to the Mac. If there were to be another album, I seriously doubt anything serious would beging happening until spring of next year at the earliest. We all know how they tire themselves out, and need massive breaks

Changing each others diapers or their kids?

I don't see them working during the break at all. I bet they'll part and then get back together in September.

I just wonder what is going to happen after Europe.

Anyway, I always recall Christine saying that they already said their goodbyes when the Dance was over and so when they went to the RRHOF ceremony afterwards, when it was over they just jumped in their separate cars and parted and didn't even say goodbye to each other again. That made me really sad to think about. Well, it still makes me sad. Michele

That's so weird to me, because that's when I became a real FM fan (they were too "wild" for me when I was a teen). Anyway, I didn't see them on that tour at all, but--it always seemed (mostly because we were TOLD--by FM, themselves) that the whole tour was about reconciling and everyone was singing songs and holding hands and doing the whole Kumbaya thing...but a cold "see ya" followed by Christine not touring and the weirdness of some of the SYW tour is just so contradictory.

But, then again, their whole history is that way so I don't know what I'm saying.

At that point in 1998, even though they don't really talk about it, they might have been just a little upset and hurt with Christine. So, maybe that's why. I don't know. She never said they were. She just said that there was a bit of arm-twisting to get her back, but -- I think that hint of coldness may have been a reaction to her leavetaking, even though they had always known she wanted to go.

People in show business slobber all over each other at the drop of a hat. It may not be common for me to hug and kiss my co-workers goodbye, but it seems very odd to me that FM wouldn't, especially when one of them was going to be in a different continent and they had no definite plans to see each other again EVER.

I wonder if it felt just as if they were parting ways until they meet up in the studio for the next album (4 years down the road), like the old days. I guess if you aren't thinking this is the last time we will be together for a real long time if ever, it's easier to just casually say cya...

Oh... and I think they will sit at home and recoup for the Summer. Do the European thing in the fall and early winter, take xmas and part of January off... then head to Australia after the new year, maybe Feb. Kinda like they did the last time.

I think for Christine she was just so damn sick of it... She just wanted to get the hell out of there...

I'm hoping to join the gang for some cocktails in Maui at the end of June

I could understand this not wanting to tour business Christine was saying but that doesn't mean she couldn't be a studio musician for the band. And yea, I could get the whole fear of travel and flying thing, but these days with digital technology Fleetwood Mac could've recorded Say You Will in L.A. and then sent the tracks digitally to England for Christine to work her part in and vice versa. That kind of stuff happens all the time now and has actually been going on for a while. If you ask me, though, it was a real slap in the face when she came out with In the Meantime. What a ****.

I think McVie has more class in her finger than you do in your entire body.

I still don't know why you are at a fourm about Fleetwood Mac when you don't even like them. Don't you have anything else to do? Just wondering.

She probably does.

And I love Fleetwood Mac.

Do you come here to stir the crap, to piss people off, to LOOK for a ban AND to let yourself down? Or is it just one of the four every alternating visit?
Enlighten us.

I come here to express my feelings on the band, to read what people say about things and to learn new information on what's up with Fleetwood Mac. I'm not looking to get banned. Like I told you before in my thread, I know I can have an abrasive personality but that's me. I don't sugarcoat my opinions. I call it as I see it.
