Fleetwood Mac

Saw an interview the other day on CNN with Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham, and Christine McVie. Apparently they're getting back together for a tour (someone ran out of money?). The CNN crawl read "the original Fleetwood Mac back together. Seems they don't remember there was Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, and John McVie. How quickly they forget. I suppose there's a generation who only knows the "Rumours" era Mac. To me there were 3 Macs-the Green and Kirwan Mac, the Bob Welch Mac, and the group mentioned above.

Judy...Judy...Judy, such a cynic. I hope Stevie casts a spell on you.

A rap and punk-loving friend, who generally disdains melodic pop) uncharacteristically idolizes "tusk" on the basis that "the songs sound like nursery rhymes." it's a good observation--the bulk of it is fundamentally simple, three-chord tunes indelibly pounded into your skull by virtue of buckingham's drive and intensity--it's the rare record where you remember the songs the first time you hear them.

Judy, I think that after Peter Green left it was all over. But there's no denying that every subsequent incarnation had its fans, esp. the last one. I'm not among the fans of the later groups but the first one was amazing.
