I'm older, but goddamn, what a guitarist. I rank him with Clapton.

"In order for us all to get back to our former lives," she says, "we must all change into spiritual warriors -- we must make it our mission to fight this virus; otherwise there is nothing left."

"Fleetwood Mac has meant so many things to so many people. we have done different things musically for so long, and involved so many talented musicians along the way...that the through line can get confusing if you love our band. sometimes it gets confusing for the guys in Fleetwood Mac" - Mick Fleetwood

you can go your own waaaaaaaay!

Stevie Nicks: "If you have stage fright, it never goes away. But then I wonder: is the key to that magical performance because of the fear?"
