r/FleetwoodMac

personally for me it's that's all for everyone, or family man

Lindsey was a surprise guest at sombr's Kia Forum show in Inglewood. Full performance here

New here, just now digging into FM's music, and wanted to share a funny anecdote for those who might be interested :D

My mom was a makeup artist in the 70s, and in 1975 (I think), Stevie hired my mom to do her makeup for a show in our city. My mom had no idea who Fleetwood Mac was, though it was right during the moment they were starting to take off.

So, my mom did Stevie's makeup, apparently Stevie was a total sweetheart, and she gave my mom backstage passes for the whole night and my mom was able to enjoy the show from just off stage. After the show, the band invited her to party with them, and also gave her the address of their summer home in Florida - she declined partying with them because she was afraid they were going to do drugs (she wasn't wrong, was she! 😅️), and she tossed the address in the trash because she didn't see any reason she'd go to Florida to hang out with these people she'd just met for a job 🫣️

Next Monday she went to work and told her colleagues about her weekend... her colleagues lost their absolute shit, considering Fleetwood Mac was becoming huge, and my mom had had absolutely zero idea who they were 💀️

But my mom always held Stevie in the highest regard, always speaking so fondly of her and saying what a sweet, gentle soul she was, even as she was becoming an international celebrity.

Edit: my god, this is a hostile sub... I'm brand new, just started listening to this band yesterday, and I made two posts... this one got half the comments implying or even telling me the story my mom told me is a lie (or feeling like they're accusing ME of lying... and honestly, who in the world makes up such a strange story for the sake of like 50 upvotes??? Christ...), and my other one where I just asked about the band since I don't know much of anything about them got so majorly downvoted and almost all the comments were so aggressive (simply because I don't know anything about this band?) that I ended up just deleting it...

Honestly, these people here putting into my head that a beloved story from my dead mother was a lie has been most painful... I only wanted to share a cute story with FM fans because I thought you might enjoy it... but the result was actually kind of painful...

What a nasty "welcome" to a fan base... y'all sure know how to keep new fans away! 🥲️

I love only over you, it genuinely is a non skip song and I fully immerse myself when it comes on. If anybody knows similar songs I would love to hear them. As popular or unpopular as they come, I don't care I just love it.
