They'd ask me questions which I, as an actor, knew nothing about, and I was so enchanted by the sound of my own chatter that I'd spout off my opinions. One day I was doing that on the Dinah Show. And after the show was over, this innocuous-looking gentleman walked up to me. His eyes were glistening. He said one thing: 'Why are you doing this?' Then he turned and walked away.

Poetry.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

christine's songs are great; can't believe there's any debate over this.

granted, "don't stop" is awful, but i blame the whole band for that.

i love dont stop but hear it as more desperate than, say, the clinton administration did

if "don't stop" actually played any part in getting clinton elected -- after 12 years of reagan and bush -- that just makes the song that much better.

Well, we got eight more years of Reaganism but ooooooohh doncha look baaaack

i realize i brought it up in the first place, but not gonna argue politics on a fleetwood mac thread.

i'd rather argue about the unfair treatment of nicks in these poll results.

there's no way the results of the poll wouldn't be fair unless each person got 6 votes

would be fair i mean

there's no way the results of the poll wouldn't be fair unless each person got 6 votes

I'm sure they all got their lawyers and managers on it right away.

lol

This doc is awesome:

Fave moment is probably around 23:40, where Lindsey basically says my way or the highway, either release a double album or I will take all my songs and release my own album.

Second fave around 4:50, when Stevie arrives at the studio with a dreamcatcher.

My favorite bit is when Buckingham questions Mick and when the nine-foot-tall drummer glowers and rises to his full height you suddenly realize that Buckingham may be the genius but it's Mick Fleetwood's fucking band.

I like when they interview 2 of the 3 managers about the double album.

man Fleetwood realizes what even in 2003 Buck doesn't: Buck can realize solo albums that sell low five figures because he's in Fleetwood fucking Mac.

Tell it to Mick c. "Tango" when he was living on a steady diet of coke in a camper van parked on Lindsey's property.

xpost Eh, if that fame really ported over then Bucky would be playing to thousands of people in clubs rather than hundreds.

yeah but Mick's leadership has never been questioned, and it's more certain now that he's off drugs.

Don't Stop is great, even if you hate it. Some things are beyond good and evil.

I dunno. I think Mick abdicated his leadership position, or at least Bucky took over in something akin to a bloodless coup. While Mick is awesome, it's been Bucky since Tusk - his indulgences, his compromises, his cooperation. Bucky was the only one, besides Christine (I think), who did not have a serious substance abuse problem, and I think Mick understands the band hangs on him now. Especially ever since the "Behind the Mask" debacle.

(Is Behind the Mask a debacle? I've never heard it.)

You can be essential without being a leader.

I dunno if the band has a leader so much as a person shouting loudest at the moment

The McVie songs on BTM, the only ones I've heard, stick to her tried-and-true and don't sound particularly tacky but no special touches either. I do remember "Save Me" getting airplay.

i doubt anyone's said "guys fleetwood mac needs to do something" more than mick, the other 3 show their power by saying they DON'T need to do something.

and then there's john.

and then there's john

...who has a ton to do with what makes them sound so great. i've always heard fm as very much mick and john's band; the name of the band is no accident. without 'em, the others would just be three very good singer-songwriters, all of whom benefited as much if not more from the rhythm section as the rhythm section benefited from them.

I've always thought the distance between the B/N album and the s/t/ FM record to be not so great. I love the Mick and John rhythm section, but not least because they adapted so well to Bucky's vision. And probably got even better because of it.

i doubt anyone's said "guys fleetwood mac needs to do something" more than mick

No doubt, says the only member of FM who spent a considerable time bankrupt. Either way, this was a good read: http://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/30/business/talking-money-with-mick-fleetwood-there-s-no-stopping-tomorrow.html
