When he said:

We were going to sustitute Barnyard animal noises in Mick's "World Turning" vest for the last show but the tech got cold feet.

I almost fell out of my chair!!!!!!!!!

He really didn't answer the question about the walkers at all

glad to see her answered my Kerry question :

Hello Mr. McVie,

Thanks so much for taking our questions. First off I just wanna say you are the backbone of Fleetwood Mac, and your bass playing is the best in rock music. I hope I can meet you someday. My question though, is kind of not music-related though. Lindsey Buckingham has referred to you in interviews as a "staunch republican," so my question has two parts. First off are you now an official US Citizen and eligible to vote here? Secondly, a fan who got the backstage tour from the Fan Club on this tour, said your tour road case had a JOHN KERRY for PRESIDENT sticker on the side. Is that true, and are you a US Citizen, and if it is true was it put there as a joke of some sort? Thanks! (Chris McLeod, Locust Grove, Georgia, U.S.A.)

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the questions. I've been a citizen since 1986. I think I still have "dual citizenship" with the U.K. but I figure I'll be here for awhile.

"They" put the "Kerry" sticker on my case for a joke. It's not there anymore!!

Thanks again! McVie

One can be socially liberal but politically conservative. Down here in the South I'm drowning in a sea of rebublicans... but some are very cool!

All of my "fag hags" and even my parents are repubs. But they all love gay folks, love my boyfriend, and feel we should have equal rights and protections legally as straight folks. But for issues that are more defining to them they are republican. For my girl friends it's abortion. I'm as anti-abortion as you can imagine, but that issue alone cannot make me forgive the republican party of it's other stances on other issues. For my parents it's the defense issue. Way before 9/11 they felt Clinton was too soft on defense, and wasn't being proactive with some of the situations of the day regarding defense. So to them that was their defining issue. We all just have to keep reminding ourselves that just because someone is a republican doesn't mean that they support all of the current president's policies. None of us democrats can say we totally 100% agree with every policy our party stands for either. I personally couldn't have given a damn about politics until Dubya came along and attacked Iraq... then went on a spiraling path downward from there (Patriot Act, deficit, Marriage amendment, etc). And I think once he's out of office the country will cease being this divided. But this is the wrong forum for this... so I'll stop my rant

I too have been enjoying John's Q&A. I just wish he'd answer more questions.. and faster

. He can't be THAT busy nowadays

LouieLouie, I agree w/ all the stuff you wrote above re: 'politics', well said.

Just wanted to add that although the time to submit ?'s ends on the 10th, I did tell him that does not mean HE has to be done by then. I am hoping that he'll keep at it for awhile after that, however sporadically...we have gotten almost 200 questions in (I think he broke the record for # submitted in so few days) --but so far I have pulled about 30 that I would like to still send to him, and I'm sure a few more will come in within the next few days that will be added to that. I am trying to get ones that range through all the eras; there's a lot to cover in a 40 yr career. Frankly if it takes him 6 mos to do those 30 it would still be well worth the wait, IMO.

Obviously I cannot apply any pressure here.

Whatever he wants to answer, however long he wants to do it for, is A-OK with me, end of story!

Oh god, he really is a riot. Although some of the questions we get in make me laugh just as hard. At least he's a good sport!

My favorite was how he said "Charles Mingus" my other favorite was how he answered questions from so many ledgies i knew!! My other favorite was him saying Stevie had one of the dirtiest laughs he's heard on a woman.
