Nile speaks with Linds

Maybe Stevie has realised that...
Life is actually short and flies by even quicker when you are in your seventies.
Too short, to pirouette around the kitchen......And.

Has written some new stuff, (maybe lockdown has inspired her !!!)
So Lindsey has saved his solo material, in the hope of a final Fmac Album.

The interview did lurch in a Mac direction.
But this is only fantasy.....no way will the Rumours 5 ever get together, again.

You mean this is our worst nightmare.

Luckily from Mick admitting he’s been talked to recently it’s clear that none of this is true.

Just like our Prime minister.....the wonderful mop head, (get it cut) Boris.
Mick, is a product of the English Public school system, and they both have problems defining truth ..

A few random things that came to me reading through this thread and listening to the podcast.

The producer who worked for about a week on Tango in the Night was Jason Corsaro. He was the Recording Engineer on some of the 80's Chic albums, along with their offshoot The Power Station. He also had engineering credits on 80's megahits from Robert Palmer and Steve Winwood. He had done limited producing at that point and I think after about a week was swallowed alive by Lindsey...

The podcast was pretty good. I did hear a bit of rasp at times in Lindsey's voice, particularly at the end of sentences, but that could be anything from allergies, to a cold, talking a lot, even some recent singing.

My god though, so many Stevie references and the spectre of Stevie. First time I have ever heard Lindsey link Go Insane to Stevie and then again Big Love. He was really working hard to make it clear what a lifelong impact she has had on him. Of course he made sure to mention that Dreams was two repetitive chords that would not have breathed if it was not for his construction of the song. Always a little reminder to her that the success of her early songs depended upon him and without those early songs - Rhiannon, Dreams. Sara, etc., the massive solo career that she built may have never come to be.

And now let's get to the Mick love affair - He actually said "Mick's intuition for what is truthful is beyond reproach"

It seems to me that the two of them are for sure planning something. The lack of mention of any upcoming solo work or acknowledgment of a completed album or even a backlog of unreleased material, tells me there is a hold in Lindsey's mind on labeling his upcoming work.

Lindsey is a grown man and his desires and wants may be very different than the fanbase here, and it seems clear his Fleetwood Mac legacy is now very important to him even if that runs counter to what his ardent supporters may want and feel.

No man "with a pair" would go back after being treated the way they treated him.

Now, if $tevie's out, that might change things a bit.

I personally won't go to a show with both of them. Again, I'd $tevie's out, then I'd go.

Because if they held hands and kissed, I'D VOMIT RIGHT WHERE I WAS STANDING!

I don't think they would ever go back to that stupid place, even though some fans will believe it as true (yes, they will).

I'd go too without $tevie, but we both know she's the golden goose. Nothing happens without her input.

I hope they're done. And you're right, $he is the golden goose.

I’m choosing to be an optimist and agree with you.

If he is shelving already done solo album for some imaginary FM reunion bs, then he didn’t learn anything from the past, and I believe he’s way smarter than that - and also, in that case, for a man who claims how he’s looking forward towards the future rather than dueling on this past, he would be completely full of it and completely stuck in the past. I believe he’s way better than that.

Of course he can do whatever he wants and feels. That's where my fear lies, and that's why I feel the need to voice it. Because this is a great place to do it.

Yep. He bemoans the mass audience for fixating on the Enquirer aspects of Fleetwood Mac at the expense of the music, but he brings up the Stevie Nicks relationship crap more than anyone. Lindsey has been doing that for twenty years. He seems preoccupied with her and her legacy more than his own. Can’t he sit an interview without talking about her or Rumours success?

I guess I agree. It would seem to be the most likely explanation for their comments. My Mick Alert gauge is climbing.

He and Mick ought to actually listen to some of the 1980 live tracks on the last two deluxe releases just to get their mojo back and then go record together. Drop the “art” and self-consciousness and just slam their respective balls together. They used to — that’s fully one-third of Tusk.

Thanks for the Jason Corsaro info!
