I'm a huge fan since 1982. My first album I bought was Live. But I had a copy of Mirage, taped from a friend's album, too. Later I got the other albums (Rumours lineup).
I knew the names of the 5 members, Rumours lineup again. But it was until 1992, when I read Mick's first book, that I finally learned John and Christine were a divorced couple; until then I always wondered if they were a couple, or brother & sister, cousins, etc. And until then I hardly knew there was a previous lineup (I didn't know that there were several. So I don't know if outside fans nobody knew who John or Chris were, but yes I agree sure a lot of people didn't.

Obviously nobody knew who they were, which is why “Sentimental Lady” was a Top 10 hit in 1978, six years after the original version went nowhere… Hmmm…
Anyway, nobody knew Bob Welch had been in Fleetwood Mac. Hell, nobody outside of fans knew who Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie were, much less that they played on the song. Of course, nobody knew who Bob Welch was for that matter… Hmmm… It was such a great song on its own, except…when it wasn’t??? Hmmm…

The reason nobody asked “Where’s Lindsey” is because the story had been thoroughly discussed in the press. Billy and Rick even did the Today Show.

We could go in circles about this. I guess I don’t care that much. But to say Little Lies was the huge hit it became because it benefited from whatever press Lindsey’s leaving afforded is just not true. Sorry. The song was killer, and people without a care in the world about the band’s dramas were loving it. |

Anyway, that’s exactly what that story was for me. That's what piqued my interest to the point where I had to buy the album AND the single. So, to dismiss it, to me, is kind of out there.

Which is why most $tevie fanatics bug the sh*t out of me. Because ~the persona~ is more important than the music. $he can fart out OSOTM, and they still lap that crap up like it's filet mignon. Trust me, it ain't! "Oh, but $he's twirling round and round, and I just LOVE her!!!!".

He understood it too well. I feel the "outlier/overshoot" portion of the Rumours sales, or at least the endless and still ongoing press attention on the narraitve drama, gave him a bit of a complex, such as making him unable to see that most people who like the songs like them sufficiently on their musical merits alone.

Just like the Rumours couple's drama, I couldn't care less.
It all comes down to the songs for me. At the beach, I kick sand in the 90 lb shipper's faces.
