When have they ever been happy? They were all miserable during Rumours and Tusk. The studio and tours were Fight Club Extraordinaire, but no one even thought of kicking Lindsey out then because they had too much to lose if they did.

Peace and happiness, my foot.

Where's the unhappiness here??

starting around 5:07.... see how unhappy Mick is. Oh, wait, that was before Stevie refused to participate, which meant he (and John) declined to tour because Queen Bee would be mad and not every tour with them again.

And then even that wasn't enough for her.

I remember how happy I was watching that. Seeing LB so happy to have her back. Watching this now hurts me.

This reminder makes me want to cry. I remember how ecstatic I was when seeing this for the first time- all the anticipation of what could become
sigh

I saw this and thought: There's no way $tevie can stop them from making music. They look so happy making music and they are happy!!!

Then............... explosion...

"He wouldn't tour.... errrrrrrrrr we just wanted to be happy... errrrrrrr... we thought we were breaking up as a band.... errrrrrrrrrr yeah happy.. I needed to be happy... "

Don't forget the key to the whole thing...firing Lindsey so someone could dance around their apartment for a decade.

My God these people are just awful.

They had too much money to lose if they fired him back in the 70s and 80s, that's for sure. Now that they don't want to get creative anymore, it was the perfect time to kick him out.

As painfully as it is to admit it, I think they never truly cared for him.

Well, one of them for sure doesn't want to be creative, probably because she can't create anymore.
I think the others, given the chance would be happy to create, as we saw with BM.
And I agree with you, it is looking like they never truly cared about Lindsey, and I agree that this feels painful inside my gut.

"For my conscience, that's a good thing to remember," Fleetwood laughed.
For his CONSCIENCE ???

Oh, my- if I were the interviewer I would have taken a LARGE step back after he said that, so that when the hole opened up in the ground and Mr. Fleetwood got sucked down it at the speed of light in his much-deserved handbasket , the suction didn't take me with it.

What a shameless huckster.

When you watch the maturity and carefree creativity of the Buckingham McVie studio sessions, all you can do is to pretend that the whole band disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle soon after and that was that for Fleetwood Mac.

To this day I wish that album was released under the Fleetwood Mac banner. The making of the album behind the scenes with four of them was classic. They should have just said Stevie decided to sit this one out.
