An observation; a number of times whem I've got into a conversation with an, erm 'young person' being a natural curious type I've asked what kind of music do you like. It's an umpossible question but the answer more often than anything has been 'Well, Fleetwood Mac !' Love was in the Air back in the day but now it seems its Fleetwood Mac. It's everywhere. And when people say they like Fleetwood Mac they never mean the Peter Green version.
Why so often Fleetwood Mac is one of the great imponderables. Bruce Springsteen is another one. Why so often Bruce Springsteen. Why not The Police to grab a name out of the blue. What has happened to U2. Search me. I'd need to do some reserch and think a bit harder than I'm willing to do to answer any of these..
It's almost impossible to listen to Rumors and be surprised by anything in the record at all actially now. It's si ubiqiutous. So much a part of the familiar landscape. Modern furniture. When Go Your Own Way came on my ears pricked up, it still chimes, every time. Then it's back to the familiar twusts and turns. Like the skin of your own body. Of tcourse there's nothing at all wring wuth the skin of your own body, In fact ti's rather comforting.
