Mick interview late 1990
I never saw this interview before but its fascinating. Mick is promoting his book while still in the final months of touring in 1990. He talks about his affair with Stevie, him falling in love with a catfish imposter and telling Sara about it, and throwing dildos around the stage in the early days.
You can see he is not happy talking about Chris and Stevie playing their "final" show with the band in just a few weeks. He sees no sense in it at all and you can see how frustrated he is about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gK8jIOJSP8

He talks about Harold (the dildo) and kind of recalls those anecdotes in a humorous or funny way. However when he was asked during the On With the Show tour (2014) if he still kept it, he answerede very serious "Well that's kind of a pornographic question. No, he doesn't exist anymore". He looked a bit upset with that question, or so I perceived.

I liked how he addressed the ridiculousness of Christine and Stevie recording with the band but not touring. It sounded like he wasn’t especially interested in that idea. Maybe that was the real problem for Stevie.

Well, this is one of Mick’s most coherent interviews. You can actually follow everything he’s saying, and what he’s saying is substantive. It’s amazing what you can say when you’re not hamstrung by agents and surrounding band personalities dictating what can or cannot go out there. But then, he is talking mostly about himself, so…

That makes a lot of sense.

Its been over 30 years since I read Mick's book so someone help me. I remember the stories of the stalker. This woman was the stalker? If so, she continues to pursue him across the globe. Doesn't she finally catch him in New Zealand or something? Or was this a different woman? I remember the stalker that stalked him his entire career. That was a good story.
Boy, wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall when he told Sara about this woman? Sara, I have something to tell you. On no, Mick, did you go bankrupt again? No. I fell in love with a woman on the phone.

If you remember the Timespace interview, Stevie called the BTM/Farewell tour "Mick's book promotion tour" LOL
Stevie was a trooper in those days but there was another interview in 1990 that voiced her displeasure how long the world tour was playing 2-3 nights in a row. It was a real world tour, not just Australia. The did promo stuff in Japan, started the tour in Australia, did the states, Canada, went to many countries in Europe and came back to the States. Stevie had a solo album to work on and it got delayed because of this. Chris's dad's passing delayed things even further.

I'd love to have seen Sara's face: I called Sara from the road. She and I had been fighting a lot. I said, "Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I've fallen in love with someone on the phone. I can tell you more when I get home. I don't know what's going on, but I'm obsessed, it's in process, I can't stop it." Sara said forget it, and moved out. And this was the end of the Blob: Finally, after eight months of talking to this person every day, a private detective sent me Sheila's real photos of an overweight young woman in a VW who worked for the government. I don't mean to be cruel, because she was a genius, brilliantly doing voices (she was the black maid too) and stringing me along. I phoned her up ink mediately. "Sheila, the game's over, and what you've done isn't right. You need help, and you've got to stop." I tried to arrange counseling for her, because I still cared for that voice, but I never found out if it worked. I was prepared for this ending right from the beginning, I told myself, but I thought it might be worth the risk. A long time later, I dialed her number again. The answering machine played me "Still Crazy After All These Years."

Mick always checked into hotels with really stupid names. I had a friend who worked at the Breakers Hotel in 1997. During the Dance, Mick's name was Corona Light at that hotel. The employees at that hotel had seen just about every code name or fake name for celebrities, kings, queens, A list Hollywood types etc. They were in awe of the stupid names the band check into the hotel with. Speaking of Mick's book and hotels. I love the story that in the late 70s, The Rolling Stones would trash hotel rooms while on tour and tell everyone they were Fleetwood Mac or check into the hotel with that name. That story is in the book too, right? ****long nets of white cloud my memory****

I do. But years ago somebody shared the whole book in a txt format file. That's easier for searching specific episodes.
I couldn't find any other stalker related story, though maybe I'm not using the right words to look for.

sorry but he's high as a kite in this interview. His eyes give him away. The fact that he nonetheless comes across as pretty coherent speaks to how used to being high his body was.

To be fair to Mick, Fleetwood Mac was at its most successful when he was their coked up manager. He might have enabled them to blow their money on stupid $h!t, but if he could only be judged on the albums from HAHTF through Tusk (including French Kiss), I'd say he wasn't all bad.
