Things learned from watching much music's "classic albums:rumors"
1. Fleetwood Mac were a bunch of incestuous 70s swingers.
2. Christine McVie is really talented, but also ugly and British; therefore, Stevie Nicks is more famous.
3. Mick Fleetwood is a complete nutjob, and in the late 70s looked sortof like a hopped-up cross between Tommy Chong and Gallagher.
4. Despite the fact that apparently air-headed california pseudo-hippies were really into the mysticism of FM in the 70s and 80s (pers. comm. G.J.D.), Fleetwood Mac still kinda rule.
and in case you live in a hole
the duke case is the new O.J. trial http://www.slate.com/id/2140413/?nav=fo
I am still twinged with sympathy for kaavya, but it is eroding quickly since I heard about the half mil advance.

I grew up listening to my parents play Fleetwood Mac, and I've always liked them. They really were a good band. Left to their own devices, Nicks is a little too self-indulgent, Buckingham a little too sing-songy and poppy (think: 'Holiday Road'), and McVie a little too vanilla. Together, they brought out the best in each other, and collaborated one some truly great records.
Despite his ugliness/goofiness, I think that Mick Fleetwood is one of the best living rock drummers. His beats raise "Go Your Own Way" and "You Make Loving Fun" from 'ho-hum, another good Fleetwood Mac song' to full-fledged classics.

The juxtaposition of a Slate article that actually tried for a half, then gave up into the usual nothing saying with the classic album that produced the classic song "Second Hand News?" Priceless.
