^She was nice to sign my name on the Live in Chicago dvd at the signing.
Idt I'll ever meet her in an airport unless I'm taking a G6 at 245am |

Stevie would do a happy dance on stage. Now I have no idea if Mick was ever able to hear any of this on stage while sitting at the cocktail kit But now that story seems to be a fairytale! |

Give me one realistic scenario where Lindsey and Stevie were still a couple and he joined the band without her. If they hadn’t been together, Lindsey would have turned the band down because he didn’t want to be in Fleetwood Mac. But, Lindsey and Stevie were a couple and a musical partnership. Fleetwood Mac would have listened to the Buckingham Nicks album, become more aware of what Lindsey had been doing prior to joining, heard her songwriting and their harmonies, heard the potential she and Lindsey had together, all with her hanging around them in the studio with a producer who championed the two of them in the first place. There was never Homer’s “f**k that b***h” fantasy scenario, to be clear. So this canonization of someone for doing something he didn’t do and really didn’t need to do is ridiculous. The only one who actually went out on a limb was Mick Fleetwood. (With apologies to Sue.)

Deliberately so.
"Tortured logic is the name we use for an argument that is very complex, and takes the listener on a long trip with many twists and turns, and requires much concentration to arrive at a conclusion mostly due to its complexity." "Tortured logic is when you have no true support for your argument, so you stretch the limits of logic to an extreme to do so."

And now I'm believing Keith Olsen sold Lindsey and Stevie to Mick and that's all. So c'mon Mick... maybe ask your doctor about Prevagen! |

I just listened to the entire interview. When Mick begins discussing the hiring of Christine because she was a great musician, and that’s her being a woman didn’t factor into it, I was so pleased. And then Alec adds: “There is nobody who casts a spell on me like Christine McVie. I love her signing beyond belief. She does something to me I cannot my even describe...” RIGHT ON, Alec Baldwin!
Then, later, Alec talks about how much he love the Bob Welch-era albums, especially MYSTERY TO ME. He even cites (and plays) “Hypnotized.” He doesn’t enthuse about Lindsey or Stevie in the same way. More generally, he mentions the collective achievement of the RUMOURS-era band, and the songs being everywhere. But he doesn’t talk about Stevie’s signing or cite any of their songs outside of the Tik Tok phenomenon. I mention this only to remind all of us that there’s was so much more to this interview (including Mick’s interesting discussions of dyslexia and cocaine addiction). Alec Baldwin is clearly a band fan. But he’s also a Christine (and Bob Welch) fan, and THAT’s worth mentioning! |

There was never a scenario where Lindsey joins Fleetwood Mac without Stevie while he and Stevie were still a couple that doesn’t end with her still joining the band. It was just as inevitable at that point as Christine joining Fleetwood Mac after Peter left. Remember, we’re talking about the same woman who, at the height of her popularity and at the peak of her career, flew all over the world trying to get Tom Petty to put her in the Heartbreakers. If she was willing to put on that kind of pathetic display when she was one of the biggest rockstars in the world, can you imagine the scene she would have made at Sound City trying to get in a band that was doing everything she wanted to be doing that her boyfriend/musical partner with whom she’d made an album had just joined without her? At a minimum, she would have started cleaning John Mayall’s house in Laurel Canyon just for a character reference. But, it likely wouldn’t have gotten to that point. It’s not like the band didn’t have a say in it, too. Listen to all of the albums from KH to HAHTF. Think of “Station Man,” “Morning Rain,” “Spare Me A Little,” “Remember Me,” “Dissatisfied,” “Believe Me,” “Just Crazy Love,” “Why,” “Heroes Are Hard To Find,” and “Come A Little Bit Closer.” What do you think the first thing Christine would have thought when she heard Buckingham Nicks? Because, hate to break it to you, it wasn’t his guitar playing. She’d already played with Peter Green and Danny Kirwan. Lindsey’s a great guitarist, but he’s not at that level as a lead guitarist (which is why he didn’t want to join). No, the game changer for Christine was the harmonies. Plural. Same for John, BTW. So, let’s just dispel this glorified fan fiction that St. Lindsey, Lord of the Overdubs, high upon his horse, demanded that Stevie be included once and for all. She would have been in the band eventually anyway. It was really less Lindsey wouldn’t join without Stevie as it was you buy one, you buy both because that’s just how the Buckingham Nicks equation was.

Either it's supreme memory loss or romanticization because most people have never heard of Keith Olsen. Lindsey was nominated ad Patron Saint of Overdubs by Caillat in the Les Paul Award speech |
