Which Member of Fleetwood Mac Would You Like To Have Been?

[David]

A recent conversation with DavidMN gave me the idea for this question:

Which member of Fleetwood Mac would you like to have been?

In my case, I can't really decide, but here is my reasoning:

Peter would be great because I would be so talented & I would be idolized by musicians & music fans & critics, but the drawback is that I would take some bad LSD which would trigger my incipient schizo-affective disorder & other personality disorders & much of my life would be spent in a great deal of mental, physical & emotional anguish.

John would be great because I would be universally beloved by the Mac world & I would be considered ultra-cool but the drawback would be that my booze would get to me & trigger serious health concerns.

Lindsey would be great because I would have that fire of exploration & creativity & I would be ranked among the vanguard (at least for a time) by the rock press, but the drawback would be health concerns related to the early-onset heart disease in my immediate family, & the series of losses pertaining to that. Also, I don't want hair that resembles Art Garfunkel.

Billy would be great because I would have a cool family of music makers & I would have a long-term career filled with ups & downs but mostly pretty steady, but the drawback is that I would be living in Tennessee.

So I will have to say Rick because I would have a showoffy instrumental talent (always a dream of mine) & I would get to go on Stevie's single good solo tour since the mid '80s & I would be stable & kind & be satisfied personally & professionally (touring with Bonnie Raitt & others) & would probably have a pretty good stable income & be relatively neurosis-free.
