Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist dies at 64, very sad news..

Oh no! I always hoped all of the Mac members, even the former ones that I'm not as familiar with, would all live to ripe old ages... but we're starting to lose them. While Weston was only in the band for one year (he was fired after he was caught having an affair with Mick's wife), he left his mark. He wrote the opening segment to my favorite Fleetwood Mac song pre-Lindsey and Stevie, called "Why":

There's no use in crying, it's all over... and I know there'll always be another day. My heart will rise up with the morning sun, and the hurt I feel will simply melt away.

May he rest in peace.

New movie features love affair between Christine McVie & Dennis Wilson. Interesting, never knew about that...

Wow. I knew about their romance but never imagined it would be turned into a movie like that. Christine McVie is a very private person, but maybe she didn't sign off on it. As far as I know, you don't have to get a person's permission to do a movie on them (as George W. Bush found out the hard way, lol).

I wonder if they'll have people playing Stevie and Lindsey as well? I'll go see it!

I didn't realize this full episode was on VH1. I watched this "Behind the Music" when I was a brand-new fan after seeing "The Dance" and I found it fascinating. I recommend any FM fan watch it!

Fleetwood Mac's "Behind the Music"

PS Bad news for Mac fans regarding touring... Mick recently complained that Stevie would rather tour with Rod Stewart promoting her new album than with Fleetwood Mac. Even worse, he worries that they may never tour again! I hope he's just being melodramatic, though. He has a tendency to do that, so I'm not overly worried.

I got Ken Caillat's book in the mail last week. I'm trying to save it for vacation in a few weeks but I don't know if I can resist the drama!

[sodascouts]

It doesn't have that much drama. He details one fight between SnL and that's it. He does talk more about his own drama with Lindsey, but most of it is tech stuff. Interesting, but not dramatic.

[prayfordaylight]

Aaah. Ledge fan drama blown out of proportion as usual. Heh.

[sodascouts]

Ain't that the truth. FM fans and message boards tend to amp up the drama! For instance, even though I use the same admin style as I did on my old BN board, drama on this Eagles board is very dialed-down. The old BN board, on the other hand, had crazy drama right and left. I have no idea why that is.

[prayfordaylight]

Because no one in the Eagles slept with a bandmate (that we know of) or continues to write songs about a 35 year old breakup!
