Neil did say in his introduction to DDIO that he was asked to play it.

Better Be Home Soon!

That’s the one he was pissed, well, as pissed as he gets, that wasn’t a hit.

Still, a not Fleetwood Mac song in the setlist is a not Fleetwood Mac song in the setlist.

Well isn't Find Your Way Back home an FM song because it has four FM members on it?

Well, technically, it had more members than “Twisted” and the same amount as on “Can’t Help Falling In Love.” However, at least Stevie wasn’t completely opposed to the entire concept of making a new recording with Neil Finn, which is more than can be said about Lindsey Buckingham. Really, Mick and John could be dubbed on that song and it’s a Fleetwood Mac song.

Then is Shake Your Money Maker an FM song? Just kidding! I hear you. It's odd to me that you had Neil and Mike singing and playing all those decades-old FM songs that they had nothing to do with. At least for the Tango Tour, Billy and Rick were playing brand new FM songs at the time in addition to the oldies. I know it wasn't Neil or Mike but rather Commander Nicks.


As far as Find Your Way Back Home, I agree - Stevie wanted nothing to do with Lindsey off stage.
Not sure if you knew but Stevie sent her vocals to Neil. So they didn't actually work together like she and Lindsey did on Sad Angel, Miss Fantasy, and Without You.

That's how it works now, these days.

My friend recorded a duet with Dolly Parton. I was all, "OMG, what's she like?", and all that. I was so disappointed to find that they never even met. Just sent their vocals back and forth on the innerwebs.

Whatever happened to getting together in the studio, doing a bunch of blow, and recording some magic? Sigh.....

Yep, I know. I think Stevie recorded her vocals before the lockdown.

But then you have Bruce who went out to Indiana last year to record songs with Mellencamp.

Yeah, my friend got a pic with Bruce in a restaurant here(I live, half of the time, in the same town as Mellenhead - btw, Mellenhead is a Douche with a capital D!).

So when the wave sort of hit, I think me and John, speaking certainly for myself, we'd had some reference to having something, and in truth the wave dissipated

So when the wave of nausea from this word salad hit, I think me and all of us, speaking certainly for myself, we'd had some reference to having eaten something rotten, and in truth the wave hasn't dissipated.

Love it! That Mickspeak you cited is hilarious—and more than a little frustrating. He says so many words without ever saying anything. I used to think it was a language issue, a genuine struggle. Now I think his verbiage is the result of deliberately sidestepping truth. It’s a bit of idiot genius…
