The last thing I ever thought was that this band could seriously work together again.

The old Fleetwood Mac was much better; they did some beautiful and, to my mind, very authentic blues. Chicken Shack did pretty well in Europe, but after I left, it was over.
|
The torpid Chicken Shack records were unfortunately much more typical of British blues than early Fleetwood Mac had been.

There were a lot of bad feelings when Lindsey first left the band. But there's been a lot of healing going on, growing up, maturing. The bond is a great deal stronger than what we first thought.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

This configuration of Fleetwood Mac's been together 10 years, and it's taken us entire years to make a single record.
|
We had some rehearsals where I was playing on four songs... but we dropped them from the set because it was interfering with my stage work, and I guess it wasn't that necessary.
|
We picked up the instruments and hammered through about 10 songs without batting an eye, just brushing off the cobwebs. The added pleasure of playing with those other four musicians is that it's now elevated to a joyful celebration.

We were like a big family even then. Mick's like my brother.

We're going to try and do something different this time, and away from even what we expect to do. We haven't really formed any concrete plan at the moment, but whatever it is, it's going to have a twist.

We're more like brother and sister now. I'm not trying to paint too rosy a picture. I think it took quite a few years to be able to sit down and talk to each other. It's all very nostalgic for us as well. There hasn't been an angry word between us, fingers crossed.
|
We've gone in with one song and come out with a completely different song.
|
What's past is past, it's too bloody late to do anything else. I've been very blessed and lucky in my life. To want to change the path of destiny is kind of a mistake, it leads to discontent. I don't feel complacent, but I feel content.

When I married John, I felt that it was so great to be around them anyway, just as one of their wives. I used to listen to all their music.

You can only mend the vase so many times before you have to chuck it away.
