thinking about fleetwood mac and how they actually sang songs about each other. and performed them. about how much they loved or hated each other like what the fuck how

I mean can you imagine. singing about how somebody broke your heart and they’re literally harmonizing. they’re right fucking there. they’re in touching distance. insanity! complete insanity! I would either break down crying or fully snap and break their neck

fucking. silver springs!!! ‘you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you!’ no fucking kidding he won’t stevie he’s literally behind you playing the drums! absolute madlads

This live performance feels like I’m watching my parents fighting in the kitchen

[Alt text: I don’t know how to feel for the audience. Did they walk away from this feeling like they’d seen the most epic/emotionally performance ever or are they traumatized?!?!?]

This post made me go to Wikipedia to kind of refresh my context on what exactly was going on in Fleetwood Mac at the time, and I forgot what a total train wreck that band was. one guy went insane on LSD and quit, and then they had to beg for him to come back when another guy walked off to buy a magazine and never came back because he joined a cult. There were like three different divorces because of band members cheating with each other. They broke up entirely at the beginning of a megatour, and their manager responded by hiring a bunch of randos to pretend to be Fleetwood Mac so he wouldn’t lose the bookings, because in the 70’s you could just do whatever. Glorious.
