but 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions'.
i don't distinguish between mick, mich or nigel, they all have as much to gain from 'helping' peter when help means becoming bandmember, manager, and band member, respectively. if mick wants to help pete, give him studio time and access to the musicians he wants to work with (if pete wants to continue playing). or help pete with legal troubles related to dissolving the splinter group.
hopefully, mick is doing those things. but is reforming the original fleetwood mac pete's wish, or mick's? is it in pete's best interest? it would be fantastic if it happened....
best, zero

It IS a good thread. Zero is right about not distinguishing between who and who is not helping Greeny. Everyones had a bite at the cherry. I dont think anyone can help Pete with the legal problems cos hes strapped in to the PGO and they have total control. But there are a lot of good people out there who only want Greeny's wellbeing at heart. Ultimately, he has the choice to play with whom he wants; perhaps even the Firehouse Five again ! Who knows ? One thing I always fall back on - whatever makes Greeny happy is good enough for me.
