References to Mac members in songs
Just thinking about references to pre-'75 Fleetwood Mac members in songs. Of course the most obvious one is "Rattlesnake Shake", with the reference to Mick. The only other one I can think of is a reference to Peter in the Clash's "Jail Guitar Doors" (An' I'll tell you 'bout Pete, didn't want no fame, gave all his money away......)
Are there more? |

"These Strange Times" from the Time album. The lyrics are probably all written by Mick:

I seem to recall a song with the titile "Fleetwood Mac Chicken Shack John Mayall Can't Fail Blues" though I've never actually heard the song.

The reference to the song was in Martin Celmins' notes to "The Vaudeville Years" - the band was "The Liverpool Scene".
The track was on their third album, released in 1969 - they apparently started out as three poets, (like the Fugs, without the radical agenda) who, as their work was influenced by current pop music, decided to enlist musicians to take the next logical step and put the poetry to music - They started in 1967 and DJ John Peel was an early supporter - I've never heard the song either

I am not a Gary Moore fan at all....! But I think "Still Got The Blues" is a tribute to Peter. Also, on his album "Dark Days In Paradise" there is a song called "Business As Usual", that contains the line "Under the wings of the man they call Green I found freedom."

There's a reference to Peter in the old Irish standard "The Wearin' of the Greenbaum" sung by Judy Garland in "Little Nellie Kellie."

However I do appreciate his tribute album "Blues For Greeny". Besides a couple of nasty "own interpretations" he has does some good work on Peters material, better than Bernie Marsden did. |

......uh maybe Dylan was thinking about Mick Fleetwood in "Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight" from Infidels......
"What about that millionaire with the drumsticks in his pants? He looked so bewildered when he played and we didn't dance" |
