And I remember the fan club fiasco very well. People were initially promised seats within the first X amount of rows on the fan club sign-up page etc. Then people signed up, went through the process, and that didn't turn out to be the case. People were being offered seats 10-15 rows back and not even center. Then I think they refused to acknowledge the bait and switch and refused to give people refunds. It got so bad that non-fan club people who did manage to get seats up front were wearing shirts that said something like "Fire Jonathan Todd"

The club also promised exclusive backstage content provided by Mick. Weeks and weeks of the tour went by and nothing was delivered. Mick eventually posted a few really lame videos of him on a treadmill backstage and that was about it.

They basically didn't deliver what they said they would on almost every level.

It's so difficult to imagine Mick hooking up with a loser. A loser and a loser...quelle surprise!

IMO, the fan club fiasco was really the start of the decline of Mick's reputation among fans. It was a big PR blunder and how he handled it really sucked.

I joined the live chat room Todd set up and monitored. I think I got kicked out for telling one of those shrieky toadies in the room that Mick was the drummer in the band, not the singer. Todd said, “We don’t want negative nabobs in here.” I said, “Then kick them out.” And he blocked my IP address!

Can you imagine? What kind of a major idiot do you have to be to kick me out of a Fleetwood Mac chat room? I was dumbfounded.

I got banned from a Lindsey fb page for asking a woman, "would it kill you to learn how to spell his name? It's LindsEy".

I was bant!

She deserved it. LOL And I did the same thing to one of our Ledgies last year and he practically had a meltdown.

And I was kicked out of the now defunct Seven Wonders for saying Michelle Tyler sucks!(as a Stevie impersonator and singer)

Some of these people are so f*cking sensitive, with zero sense of humor...

F*CK EM!
