Default Mike Campbell admits it felt like a blip

Just found this article. This answer caught my attention:

How was the Fleetwood Mac experience? It was a blip in your career, but you did some significant shows with them in what seems like it would have been a tough situation – although you have a long history with Stevie Nicks.

“It’s interesting that you use the word blip because we went around the world for two years and played a lot of shows. It was actually a beautiful and long journey – but now when I look back at it, it does feel as you described it. It went by and became something that happened but is hard to believe. Like, I went to high school once and I toured the world with Fleetwood Mac. [Laughs]

With a big thanks to Old Goatsy for ruining the last tour of FM.

I don’t think anyone would disagree with that assessment.

Even if they had recorded an album as Fleetwood Mac, it still would have just been a blip.

Unfortunately it was the last erratic blip before the terminal bleeeep of the band's ECG machine.

You couldn't have described it better. Definitely unfortunate.

I always got the impression that it had been a few years since Mike had spent time with Stevie and once he agreed to tour with Fleetwood Mac, he may have received a rude awakening in regards to Stevie. I genuinely think he thought it was going to be at least a tour AND an album, but he and Neil really turned out to be nothing more than hired stand-ins. He always did these great instagram videos of himself, Sharon, and Marilyn singing together before the shows. Not once did Stevie ever join them.
