I believe she donated to Al Gore in 2000...and has donated to numerous other democrats before and since. Fleetwood Mac payed those fundraising gig on the Tusk tour for Even Bayh of Indiana...

Not surprised to hear that she was pro-Bush for a moment too. Most of the US was. Wasn't his approval rate post-9/11 like 80-something %?

Birch Bayh. Evan's father. I've still got the ticket stub that says Birch.

She did this which was the same thing someone else also did... Donald Trump. They both played the game.

Stevie also started voting at 71.

Speaking of - whatever happened to John Kinney? The Nicks Fix was popping during the dawn of the internet.

John Kinney? Are you here? John?

I know, and I’m disappointed. It really shouldn’t matter to me who supports who, and no or Malloy it doesn’t- I don’t mind if someone votes Republican or Democrat, but when they vote Trump, it does bother me. But I still like Rick Vito and think he is an amazing guitarist and appreciate his work with FM.

I don’t know if it’s semantics, but if someone is anti- anything, then isn’t it redundant to say totally anti-anything? I wouldn’t expect her to say she was glad he had Covid.

My understanding is Lindsey has supported or played for some prominently Democrats in the past; and that Mick is a Democrat. Christine and John it’s been said we’re Republicans. I have no idea what they thought of Trump, though. And since Christine didn’t live in America, maybe she didn’t have much of an opinion.

What did Stevie say about them kissing?

I’ve heard a story about Christine being homophobic as well, but in all fairness, I’ve always tried to give the benefit of the doubt that people change, and just because Christine may have made one comment about homosexuality doesn’t mean she felt that way her entire life. I know Stevie has spoken favorably of Night of 1000 Stevies, and given interviews to Out magazine. It always surprises me when anyone famous speaks negatively of gay people, considering how many gay people must be in their lives or inner circles.

In fact, my impression is, of all the members of the Rumours gang, Lindsey and Mick were probably the most comfortable with gay people. Just a feeling, I just suspect they’re more comfortable with the idea. There have always been rumors about Stevie being gay or bi, based on her closeness to females, so I can see her possibly being defensive about that, whereas I don’t think Lindsey or Mick would care if someone thought they were gay.

Stevie said Brit dug herself into a hole for kissing Madonna and Christina. I think she said the kissing was disgusting or along those lines. And then said Madonna was too old to be kissing Brit and Christina. Meanwhile Madonna was only like 45 then. LOL!

Night of 1000 Stevies isn’t marketed as a “gay event” to my knowledge but a celebration of Stevie. One doesn’t have to be gay to celebrate Stevie in costume.

Nicksfix URL changed to rockalittle.com. I have not entered recently since when I googled it my antivirus marks that website a yellow warning ("Caution" may have a small number of threats and annoyances, but they are not dangerous enough to warrant a "Warning" red alert. Proceed with caution). I guess it's not enough well mantained (security I mean) and they focus more on the instagram, facebook, etc.

I don't know about John Kinney but I think I read Ginny Kamano who was in charge of fan mail did wrong things and she was fired, or something like that. I don't have enough details.

If my memory is correct...it's probably been about ten years ago, John announced that he would discontinue overseeing and updating the site. It would no longer be the official website that it had become.

On the topic of Ginny - I remember hearing that she was involved in a car accident and never quite made a full recovery. There was weird behavior as a result of her injuries. Don't quote me on that, I just remember those rumors swirling around way back in the day.

On some thread many years ago I called her the Trump of Fleetwood Mac. She’s completely self absorbed and lacking any self awareness, she believes all of her own crap despite evidence of whatever she’s saying being false (usually her own words contradicting herself), she is in love with the brand of her own name, and she looks a mess usually but sticks to her branded look because the suck ups she surrounds herself with are way too fearful to tell her the truth. The vocabulary of a 3rd grader probably isn’t super fair but I see where you’re coming from. I’d say it’s more of a pre-teen level.

Stevie has not always spoken positive about A Night of 1000 Stevies. Going way back to the early days of the internet and Nicksfix (mid-late 1990s), there was an interview posted where she was asked about it. I think the event may have only happened a few years then. Her exact quote was "I think its really scary." Even for the mid to late 1990s I was shocked at her response since gay acceptance was fairly normal then and people were praising her by posing as her.
I was not impressed with Stevie's MTV's Fanatic episode where the gay girl reveals to Stevie she was thrown out of her house and scraped money together to buy Bella Donna to get her through her hard times. I don't think Stevie is homophobic but she just sat there without much concern. It was a moment she should have stood up and hugged the girl. Stevie's first agent David Forest was gay. I think sometimes peoples statements or actions dont alway portray them in the best light.

She was completely justified in attacking the Madonna/Brittany tongue kiss and doing so is not homophobic. Anyone gay/straight that sticks their tongues together on live TV just for shock value deserves any criticism they get. If they were truly a couple and had a passionate kiss then it would be different. It was done for shock value and those performer's music sucks so bad they had to resort to such tactics to be talked about. I also applaud Stevie for stating she wanted to strangle Nicki Minaj to death
Stevie stated she was going to sing Landslide to Hillary Clinton in 2016 expecting her to win in a landslide. I dont think she likes Trump one bit. But Hillary invited Stevie to the White House in 2000 when Christine politely declined to show up.
I was at the Dance show in West Palm Beach in 1997 and Donald Trump was in the second row.
