And you're an angry hateful TROLL.

From under what rock did you crawl? You're here spewing your hatred for other board members. What time is your curfew?

It’s nice to see the Stevie hate is alive and well on these forums still 🙄 may Christine haunt each of you mean spirited people and each time you think a moments peace is coming, you break wind and get an itch. For shame. And to be fans.

Some of us acknowledge the history of her actions. Others choose to be blind.

Some celebrities speak politically and it feels completely "right" (not their opinions but hearing them have a passionate political take). Springsteen, Morrissey, Dylan, Don Henley, and so on. Their music is wound up in political movements and views. But the gang in Fleetwood Mac doesn't write that way, so when you hear one of them speak on politics, it feels abrupt or temporal in a bad sense. And they have largely kept out of politics since they became bigshots, except for a few political campaign benefits for people like Birch Bayh.

some people consider it completely right, while others gripe about it (like when someone goes to Roger Waters show and complains about all the political stuff - like, where have you been?).

while FM as a band chose commercial appeal over political expressions and their songs are mostly about love-hate, to me it feels right that Stevie weighs in about the current political happenings she clearly cares about, like Roe.

while not speaking about politics at FM or solo stage, Lindsey has done and played at a number of political fundraisers in the recent years.

Also Lindsey started dabbling in political commentary in his post-Cradle lyrics. Peacekeeper and Murrow are on the nose about war and the media machine respectively, Rodeo's main theme is consumerism/glamor, and Red Rover is a meditation on the state of the world.

Stevie: [confused] “I mean . . . do you want to know what the Highwayman is about?”

Jim Ladd: [sarcastically] “No, Stevie, I want to talk about sports.”

One of my favorite Fleetwood Mac exchanges of all time.
