Every band should be comprised of multiple romantic couples who all cheat on each other with each other and then force themselves to stay together so they can take their hate out in cocaine-fueled jam sessions because it makes for better music
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
Lindsey Buckingham saying “thank you all for coming tonight” after soul-screaming at his ex for five minutes while dressed as the Onceler and on 100000 mg of cocaine
Anyway the closest thing I’ve encountered since was Rilo Kiley, which was fronted by two ex-child star songwriters who were involved. When you listen to their solo stuff enough to disentangle their styles you realize that a lot of their RK stuff was one of them singing a witty, searing critique of themselves as a person as written by the other
Anyway, since Red, about her time in their hometown of LA (I saw their goodbye show headlining the big annual street fair of the ‘90s hipster neighborhood! After they broke up then made their breakup album then realized they didn’t have any more material in them and just slapped one more together and split), Taylor Swift has very clearly been into at least Jenny Lewis, the girl of the pair. I suppose a big celebrity interpersonal-relationship lyricist who sang about how many James Taylor records she has would be

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.
