Down, Homer! I’m surprised to hear you say you would touch anything that dangled between Mick’s moist thighs LOL!

god I hate typing on my phone. Auto correct f*cks you every time.

Pretty funny, though. Mick has been nasty for 40 years...

This is ridiculous. I have never seen a band auction off their awards. Mick is selling his Rock N Roll Hall of Fame award? The Hall should strip it from him. He really needs the money? Many artists auction off clothes and mementos. That is not new. Elton John had a huge auction a few years ago. But these auctions are always 100% for charity. But they are actually profiting from this auction and will only say a part of the proceeds goes to charity but refuse to say the percentage. That tells you everything you need to know.
Stevie does not want the Video award for Gypsy? I would think of all that work she was forced to do she would want it. So they decided to keep the Grammys

This band keeps getting more ridiculous

I think the article says that it's Christine trophy for the Gypsy video. I guess each band member got one, and after all Chris is a supporting actress in the video.

I have no doubt that Mick also tried to rope Stevie and maybe Lindsey into this sell-out sell-off, and that those two wanted nothing to do with it.

I can understand Christine getting rid of stuff. She comes across as completely unsentimental most of the time, and maybe there are some tax considerations for liquidating your estate while alive. But the shonky and shameless idea of selling off a bunch of random crap with "a portion" of the proceeds going to charity has the name Mick Fleecewood all over it. I imagine that whoever places the winning bid on Christine's historic baby grand will open the lid to find a one-month trial subscription to Fleetwood's Coffee Beans taped to the keys.

Thats a good point that Stevie and Lindsey stuff seems to be missing which tells you something. You are right, its Chris selling her Gypsy trophy.

These auctions happen all the time in rock. I think its cool and hopefully Chris's dress ends up at a Hard Rock somewhere for the world to see.

My issue is this auction is not exclusively for charity. I have never seen something like this before. It tells you it was Mick that concocted this idea since he has not much royalties and touring cash to get him by. He leads one of the biggest bands in rock and does meet and greets for a few hundred dollars. How could anyone sell their RRHOF award for cash and not exclusively for charity? That's a first for rock. It's pathetic to sell it. I applaud Stevie and Lindsey for not taking part.

But you can get a surfboard that Stevie gave to John. I wonder if Stevie has touched it.

I doubt it. That sounds like an assistant's job.
The real question is has John touched it?

Why yes, she is often seen mid afternoon, (she doesn’t get up till 3..)
throwing a 360 at Santa Monica beach.

Very funny! If the coffee beans are in fact included, I may actually purchase the baby grand. But I really don’t get the hate by some folks- as you yourself said, it’s just “a bunch of random crap.” I get rid of my crap by donating it to Good Will, but only because I can’t get anyone to bid on it!

Same thing about Christine- of all of the members, she is the least sentimental. Frankly, I’m stunned she still has that dress from the back of the Rumours cover. A pack rat who keeps mementos of their tours, photo shoots, recordings, and clothing and accessories would seem to describe Stevie, not Christine.

I wonder how much the cutout board of John would fetch? I admit I’m curious to see how well those items do sell, but I don’t mind they’re doing this. I’m sure they talked it over with their families and the survivors of their estate don’t want them, so why not sell them? They get money and folks who pay that much will certainly take care of the items in question. It’s not like someone’s gonna buy those awards so they can be melted for scrap. I’m getting a sense of “I already hate Mick so now I can add this to the list of reasons why I hate him.”

Anybody notice in the Billboard article it mentions Lindsey as a member of Fleetwood Mac and doesn't mention Mike or Neil?

"The two other members of the celebrated quintet — Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks — are not involved with the auction."

[Macfan4life]

Since this thread was announcing the auction, Micks RRHOF award sold for $16k which included a magazine with photos of the band with the award. It sold for average estimated worth. I still cant believe he sold it. Regardless of what you think of the Hall of Fame, its an exclusive club. Is Mick the only one that sold his award? I am sure he spent the $16k by now.

Not hatred of the man... just eyerolling derision at the things he does and says.

Macfan4life said it best:

"By Grabthar's Hammond... Oh, what a savings!"

The good news is that you'll be able to sate your curiosity, bwboy--the auction will be livestreamed on the auction house website!

Here are some last minute additions to the auction:

- The cardboard cut out of John that was featured in the Tusk video, which John was unable to attend due to prior commitments.

- The actual microphone Dave Mason used to record Time, which he lovingly gifted to Christine.

- The RV which Lindsey bought so Mick’s drug dealer could live on his property during the recording of Tango in the Night.

- The necklace Christine wore during the recording of Rumours, which contained her daily ration of cocaine.

The Julian’s Auctions list saddens me. To see Christine auctioning off her tour traveling vanity case..is all I need to know. The end of an era.
