Rumours 46 Years Today and Lindsey Today
Rumours was released 46 years ago today, February 4, 1977. Today, the first member of the band to acknowledge its anniversary was Lindsey. Interpret his post through your own lenses and experiences.

I saw this today on Lindsey's twitter and was going to post but Rumours has been dissected to death around here. Not much more to say. I do agree the 5 year anniversary of MusicCares is almost as newsworthy in changing the band's swansong into a dysfunctional smelly turd.

My post has little intention in dissecting Rumours again. (which is brilliant in infinite ways) It was more intended to spark discussion on Lindsey’s softening and intention behind his social media post.
Lindsey spent years publicly running from Rumours. On its most recent anniversary, post a coming together of the four remaining living band members, he was the one to publicly write how much love there is for this work and how strong that love is today. Immediately followed by likes and posts by his two daughters. The man who spent years trying to run from this album and it’s pop success, as he wanted to build independent credibility, and Rolling Stone once called “the angriest dog in rock” has come home to its brilliance, societal significance, and its indelible mark on everything he has today. In my opinion, he yearns that the last public incarnation of Fleetwood Mac include his name. It matters to him. The songs that shaped how so many of us hear music and would never have sounded as they did without him, define his legacy both publicly, and yes, privately. I believe he is driven to be known and documented as the last guitar player to play in Fleetwood Mac even if it is one song, one night. Last edited by John Run; 02-05-2023 at 07:56 AM.. |

Mick's restaurant in Hawaii has no photos of the 2018 lineup but plenty of 1975 lineup. And most importantly, Fleetwood Mac hasn't released a new song since 2013, a song which Lindsey was on. |

We knew 2018 was Fakewood Mac. We knew it then, and we know it now.

Here's video of Deacon with Eagles a couple months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCC69XKLFFs
He also wasn't an Eagle... he was a "with" |

Alright, fine, I’m ok being the only person here who says Christine, John, Mick, and Stevie were Fleetwood Mac in 2018. Last person standing LOL Now refresh my memory, was it Fakewood Mac when Lindsey, Stevie, John, and Mick toured between 2000-2013 or whenever? I can never keep it straight, all the conditions which make it Fleetwood Mac vs Fakewood Mac. I think if someone quits the band right before a tour, it’s still FM, unless they weren’t allowed to record but didn’t want to tour? Or if they were fired, then it’s not Fleetwood Mac. Which means when Bob Weston was fired, they were no longer Fleetwood Mac? |

They could have re-recorded the songs to sound like Mike and Neil. They had plenty of time before the tour to do that too. |

But I do know that I saw Fleetwood Mac on their last tour in 2019- Christine was there, and Mick was there, and Stevie was there, and John was there just like Dorothy at the end of the Wizard of Oz LOL! Sure they sang cover songs- Go Insane and Stand Back, whoops I mean Don’t Dream It’s Over and Free Falling. Darn it, I guess between those four songs and Blue Letter and the Farmer’s Daughter, well cover songs aren’t entirely new to any incarnation of FM. UnwindedDreams, please post what you think of the tribute to Christine when it airs, I’m looking forward to hearing what people think. |

Heck no! Well, Lindsey might have ruined Never Going Back Again, but other than that, heck no!

So your analogies of Lindsey, Stevie, or Christine leaving voluntarily many moons ago cant relate to 2018. The On With The Show 2014-2015 tour shocked the world and their was renewed interest in the band. It was their most successful world tour ever. It prompted speculation of a final album and tour. Soon the final album was in doubt and then the final tour was almost in doubt because of the unhappiness of one member. We know why Bob Weston was fired but we still dont know why Lindsey was fired. For months the story kept changing. Then finally it was revealed Stevie's manager told the band she was never going to share a stage with Lindsey again. Oh no! A world tour was already booked. What could they do? Tens of millions was at stake. Their solution was to hire replacements for the tour. Few believed Mick when they said they were permanent members. Half a decade later, they have never recorded together or appeared on the same stage again. Now a pivotal member has died and John will never tour again. You cant put the genie back in the bottle. Was it really worth it for their swansong and final act? Its probably the dumbest firing in rock history. You have one last tour and instead of a farewell tour its Fakewood Mac. Thanks $tevie. Stevie and Lindsey dont even see eachother on tour except on stage. They have went through lots of drama for decades. What changed? I dont find it a coincidence the band went on without her in the studio. No doubt this jealousy was too much for Stevie to take. It renewed her rage at Lindsey in a new light. For the first time ever, the band did not wait for her. It drove her nuts. I would bet my life if there was no Buck/Vie album, the tour would have resumed with Lindsey without incident.
