He can deny it all he wants to, but it was no mere coincidence that he enlisted this new member who was a cute blonde chick singer who stood center stage. He failed to grasp then what he now knows the hard way- Stevie Nicks cannot be replaced. Period.

Good work HejiraNYC. If that's what Mick did, and it seems to be true,
to replace Stevie with another hot blonde (notice I did say hot - talented
too) was a big mistake. If I wanted to see an impersonator I could pick
one of the thousands of Elvi (yes, Elvi) to go and see. It would have been
better to not sing the Stevie hits with Bekka.
What puzzles me is that when Lindsey quit the band before they headed
out on the Tango Tour, what happened to the concert goers who didn't have
the benefit of knowing Mr. Buckingham had called it quits?
I remember hearing about it on Entertainment Tonight. You know the days
before the internet! I think I would have been both mad and sick to find out
at the show the creative driving force behind the Mac wasn't showing up. Even
though at the time I was more a Stevie fan than Lindsey.
Same situation with the other light version of the Mac. I believe I heard they
were coming to New Orleans to put on a show (or somewhere in that region).
Again I would have been sick to find out that Lindsey and Stevie weren't apart
of this. Wonder how many people walked out after they found out the stars
weren't there?
