Please stop the misogynistic blame game campaign against Stevie Nicks

Their breakup resulted in the best song they ever did. And don't bombard me with alternatives. I'm not a big Mac fan, but Dreams is an awesome pop tune.

Couldn't help myself.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still love all the old music, and I think Christine in particular is awesome ... but I'd not go see the Mac w/o Lindsey. He's 'the show' to me.

14 (Well, since I was old enough to understand all that type of "Love/emotional Stuff" that went on in Fleetwood Mac :chuckle and I'll soon be 57. Now, I know that they stopped inter-band dating years ago, but the fighting (Musical differences), and disagreements continued because they're all human. I'm not team ANYBODY. LOVE their music--it's still a big part of my life/memories. I wish them all well and hope that they can work out their differences. But, if they can't and it's not meant to be in this 21st century ..... I'll accept a Lindsay Buckhamg less Fleetwood Mac, because I know that ALL good things come to an end eventually. That's life too.

Now, let me go listen to Dreams before Randi Rhodes comes on. Oh, and just in case Fleetwood Mac DOES become Buckingham less for GOOD at this late date:

Song about two hours ago..

play solo dates on the band's day off. They said no. I'm intrigued to see what Mike Campbell and Neil Finn add to the band.

This is the best thing I've seen since Frida shoved her elbow into Agnetha:



There's been more analysis of that thing than "9/11 Conspiracy Proof" videos:

Everyone involved in the band seems to have issues. As a much bigger Neil Finn fan than I am a FM fan, I've been scratching my head over why he'd want to involve himself with a band drowning in so much drama all the time.

this is so much the ongoing Mac drama. wash rinse repeat

ps I love the Mac in any form

so just that's my take from what little I know of the band over the years. Even for outsiders it seems like that band is always feuding over something.

The news definitely caused a big stir in the Neil Finn fan community, which is why I even know about it. I don't hate Fleetwood Mac, in fact I like quite a few songs, but I hate spending hundreds of dollars for nosebleed seats at an arena. So I've never been one to go to shows like this. Not sure if Neil joining the tour will change my mind on that.

If I can get decent tickets for a reasonable price, I'm in.

Can't they have a disagreement (or hate each other) without "misogyny" being thrown around?

a hate campaign against a successful woman who has been physically and emotionally abused by Buckingham including him mocking her onstage during the very last tour. Your results may vary.

I certainly don't put blame this on any particular member. It isn't like this is the first time this has happened.

That said, i really enjoy Buckingham and this makes me unlikely to want to see them, though I love the rest of the band as well.

This was a professional dispute between multi multi millionaires
Side taking is about who was considered more skilled and more aligned with there enormous success
One was a singer songwriter
One was a singer songwriter, arranger, producer, lead guitarist, sweetener, musical director
If I take sides, gender is irrelevant

...that Stevie Nicks was a sign from God that cocaine is bad for you.

I never thought of Stevie Nicks as a great feminist icon because I never thought about her at all.

They're entertainers. I think I may know what a few of their catchy tunes are, but they're just catchy tunes, nothing earth shattering.

I really don't care what they fight about. It's none of my business.

his spouse you wouldn't call the cops? Is that what you're saying?

Don't trivialize real life by asking me to take cartoon characters seriously.

To compare Stevie Nicks to a woman in a woman's shelter is to be oblivious, and trivializing and frankly a little bit obscene.

How people come up with these kinds of associationson the internet - not caring about Stevie Nicks is the same as the tragedy of domestic abuse - is extremely disturbing...

You know, the beat I study on this website is the environment and its relationship to human poverty, seen through a prism of the scientific literature.

You comment reminds me of the kind of people who carry on about the importance of Elon Musk's stupid car for billionaires and millionaires as if it mattered, this on a planet where hundreds of thousands of people die - most of them children - because as the World Health Organization reports, 2.1 billion people lack access to clean water.

If there were 1/50th as many people who gave a shit about that fact - the lack of clean water for billions of people - as do the sordid lives of some stupid rock stars somewhere, or, to mention a similarly insipid bourgeois affectation, Tesla cars, the world would be a decent place.

But it's not a decent place. It's a cartoon, bread and circuses.

History will not forgive us, nor should it.

Give me a fucking break.

a petition about the mistreatment of women using a famous woman to highlight the message.

Even people who liked Fleetwood Mac don't care.

Have a nice day.

I wish he could come back to the band but the LSD really messed him up and he's never been the same.

misogyny, sexism and abuse are a great big bore. Let's get back to the missile strikes on Syria! (claps hands).
I really used to enjoy your posts.

and they CERTAINLY don't rise to the level of misogyny, sexism and abuse

if he was abusive she could have ditched his sorry ass long ago.....it's only been, what, fifty years?

That's why I posted it in the lounge.

he was fired from the Dead Kennedies. The excuse was he was a jerk. Is this good old homophobia at work?

</sarcasm>

"Rock Star" is synonymous with "huge ego impossible to work with"

(pre-video era, so it's only audio)

re-make and/or re-release the whole album. It was a gem.

tickets for the so-called final tour.

Wave enough money in these people faces, and somehow the personal hatred melts away.
