Random thoughts on Fleetwood Mac

As I'm sitting here watching a recent Fleetwood Mac concert on TV, here are a few of random thoughts about the band: 

  • I can't think of many vocalists I like better than Stevie Nicks. She has such a distinctive voice; you know it's her immediately (I feel the same way about Natalie Merchant...There's an intoxicating richness to both of their voices).
  • For a 60+ year old guy, Lindsey Buckingham still has great hair. And he can play the hell out of that Turner guitar.
  • Mick Fleetword still has those crazy eyes. I bet he's a trip to hang out with.
  • I don't have much to say about John McVie. I'm not sure anyone does.
  • I love the Rumours album, but I could do without most of the Christine McVie songs. They just don't do it for me. I wish that "Silver Springs" would have made the album instead of being buried as an outtake for 20 years.
