Hope you enjoy. 
Who? 

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,520
I guess we're getting back into 
Fleetwood Mac. 

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,000
Oh my God, I'm getting 
overwhelmed again. 

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,600
We time traveling back to. 
So last episode we covered the 

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,560
70s and the 80s, and today we're
going to go from 1990 to 

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,160
President Day. 
Wow. 

14
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,120
So we got a couple decades to 
cover. 

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,960
And to recap where we left off, 
Lindsay told the band that he 

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,400
was quitting. 
Stevie chased him outside and 

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,800
they physically fought. 
Then two years later, in 1990, 

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,200
Stevie left Fleetwood Mac 2 and 
she quit. 

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,440
I didn't say this last episode, 
but I think she quit for a 

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,720
couple of reasons. 
One was she got in a big fight 

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,080
with Mick Fleetwood, who I'll 
refer to as just Fleetwood for 

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,560
to avoid confusion because 
there's John Mcvie. 

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,840
She got a big fight with 
Fleetwood about the song Silver 

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,880
Springs because she wanted to 
put it on her best hits album. 

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,840
He wanted to put it on a 
Fleetwood Mac best hits album. 

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,680
There was like a whole thing and
she felt like it was her song. 

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,440
And he didn't even put it on 
rumors anyway, So he also 

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,120
released that year a tell all 
autobiography that really shared

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,240
a lot of their dirty laundry. 
So I think she was just fed up 

30
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,560
with Fleetwood Mac and was a big
star in her own right. 

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,280
So I think she just felt like 
she didn't need them. 

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,760
So she quit the band as well. 
And then we also talked about 

33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,160
how she did a last performance 
and did for Landslide, and 

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,480
Lindsay came up to join her and 
they seemed like they were 

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,280
affectionate and happy again, 
even though they had fought a 

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,760
couple of years before. 
Yeah. 

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,200
So that's where I left off in 
the 80s. 

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,440
I just want to kind of catch us 
up on, like, what's up with 

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,360
their relationships? 
Because Lindsay and Stevie are 

40
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,080
not together at this point. 
They are always back and forth 

41
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,440
between hating each other and 
then being sort of sentimental. 

42
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,960
You know, Stevie. 
So she in the late 80s, she 

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,960
dated the Eagles singer Joe 
Walsh for several years. 

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,280
She also dated Don Henley of the
Eagles. 

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,520
So that's crazy. 
She dated in two guys in the 

46
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,720
Eagles and she and dated 2 guys 
to Fleet with Matt 'cause she, 

47
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,440
you know, had that fling with 
Fleetwood and she's called Joe 

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,800
Walsh a great love. 
And then Lindsay Buckingham, he 

49
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,040
dated a woman named Carol Ann 
Harris for many years, I think 

50
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,560
like seven years or something. 
So both Stevie and Lindsay now 

51
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,480
have had like other long, pretty
long relationships that meant a 

52
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,520
lot to them. 
You know, it's not like Stevie 

53
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,840
and Lindsay were each other's 
only relationship at this point.

54
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,200
They've had other ones. 
And then after that, Stevie for 

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,400
a year dated a musician named 
Dave Stewart. 

56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,760
And then she dated a producer 
named Rupert Hein for about a 

57
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,560
year or less. 
And then it seems like so now in

58
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,880
1990, since then, it seems like 
she hasn't really had many long,

59
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,680
serious relationships. 
So it's pretty. 

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,680
So what would that be? 
She would be like 40, I guess 

61
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,240
she'd be like 40 in 1990. 
In 1992, Lindsay actually dated 

62
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,480
the actress in HESH, later dated
Ellen DeGeneres, which is kind 

63
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,760
of interesting. 
Lindsay and Anne only dated for 

64
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,240
about a year. 
OK. 

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,320
So that's just like some 
background about their other 

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,080
relationships that have been 
going on. 

67
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:41,440
Take. 
A breath. 

68
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,800
I don't know that much about 
Anne Hesh, but I'm kind of 

69
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,320
interested in her. 
Yeah, I would love to cover her 

70
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,960
and Ellen soon. 
Yeah, and I know we still have 

71
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,880
to do Ellen and Porsche as well.
Somebody sent us a voice 

72
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,560
recording about them ages ago, 
and I feel so bad that we still 

73
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,280
haven't done anything with it, 
but I'm sure we will. 

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,160
OK, so into the timeline now. 
We're in the early 90s. 

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,760
In 1993, Fleetwood Mac was asked
to perform at Bill Clinton's 

76
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,080
inauguration. 
But Stevie and Lindsay, you 

77
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,920
know, weren't in the band, but 
they wanted them to be part of 

78
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,399
this. 
And Stevie, even though it 

79
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:22,680
seemed like they were on really 
rocky terms with each other, 

80
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,800
Stevie insisted that Lindsay had
to return to be part of this 

81
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,960
performance, which I find 
interesting. 

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,600
And apparently Lindsay found it 
hard to say no, and so he agreed

83
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,760
to do the performance. 
So they're back together. 

84
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:36,800
Seemed like it went OK. 
I don't think there was any 

85
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:40,320
major fighting or anything they 
performed for Bill Clinton's 

86
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,280
inauguration, and I think 
Michael Jackson was there too. 

87
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,640
But this was a rough time for 
Stevie. 

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,160
She had been struggling with a 
Klonopin addiction, which had 

89
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,920
gotten really bad. 
She was taking like 8 doses a 

90
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,760
day and she was having trouble 
tapping into her creativity and 

91
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,480
she apparently felt largely 
indifferent about most things. 

92
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,640
So this is just not a good time 
for her. 

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,680
In the early 90s, nineteen 94, 
Stevie checked into a rehab 

94
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,120
facility and some Fleetwood Mac 
fans on forums and such for some

95
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,320
reason believe that Lindsay 
helped her get set up in rehab. 

96
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,120
But I'm not really sure how they
know that. 

97
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,000
And I didn't really find any 
actual proof of that. 

98
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,480
So I don't know. 
That might be just wishful 

99
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,120
thinking like fan fiction. 
I'm not sure in 1994. 

100
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,920
See This is why it's weird 
because like the same year 

101
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,120
people are saying oh, Lindsay 
helped her go to rehab but then 

102
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,920
in 94 she was asked if Fleetwood
Mac would ever reunite and she 

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,800
said maybe, but not with me or 
Christine or Lindsay. 

104
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,960
Christine and I will always be 
close. 

105
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,560
Lindsay just plain doesn't like 
me. 

106
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,320
Wait, So what? 
Yeah, she's like, but not with 

107
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,880
me like. 
So then it's not really a 

108
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,040
reunion. 
I. 

109
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,160
Know Christine? 
Is it because of her ex-husband 

110
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,880
also? 
At this point, I think Christine

111
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,640
had also left the band. 
So in Fleetwood Mac people were 

112
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,720
just always coming and going, 
leaving, coming back. 

113
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,640
At this point in the early 90s, 
Fleetwood Mac actually had 

114
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,000
replaced Stevie with a young 
singer named Becca Bramlett, and

115
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,560
they had other guys that 
replaced Lindsay. 

116
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,960
So it was like a very Fleetwood 
Mac. 

117
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,760
I guess Fleetwood Mac, I mean 
Christine is gone, but it's back

118
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,360
to Fleetwood and what was. 
The other guys, John McPhee, 

119
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,320
John. 
McPhee, who are Fleetwood Mac. 

120
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:32,040
So it is technically that band, 
but everybody, I guess, like 

121
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,040
Lindsay and Stevie were like the
bigger names from it, even 

122
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,920
though they joined later, you 
know? 

123
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,800
So it's kind of ironic in that 
way. 

124
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,880
It is, even though Lindsay and 
Stevie are so famous, it really 

125
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,480
is Mick Fleetwood and John 
McPhee band, which is weird. 

126
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,560
Like they're. 
We would make get into a 

127
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,680
reunion. 
Meanwhile, they're still, like, 

128
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,600
going strong. 
Like they're still. 

129
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:56,520
I. 
Know. 

130
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,160
I know this was a low time for 
Fleetwood Mac as well. 

131
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,360
They were like opening up for 
REO Speedwagon and you know, 

132
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,960
just playing like kind of 
depressing shows compared to 

133
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,200
their heyday. 
And I didn't realize this. 

134
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,480
Like I think for millennials and
Gen. 

135
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,800
Z, we think Fleetwood Mac is 
like so amazing and so cool, at 

136
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,120
least like my friends. 
But I guess in the two, I know 

137
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,720
anyone older laugh listening 
might like laugh at me, but 

138
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,560
maybe mom would disagree. 
I don't know. 

139
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,800
But I was reading that in the 
90s and like early 2000s, maybe 

140
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,840
not early 2000s. 
At least in the 90s, Fleetwood 

141
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,520
Mac was seen as like really not 
cool. 

142
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,440
All right, I will have to stop 
the episode right there. 

143
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,120
