"I didn't realize you were such a fan of Stevie Nicks, my boyfriend is Mick Fleetwood's body guard and I will make sure to get you tickets for their next concert..."
This was better than a lottery win! I hadn't seen Fleetwood Mac for years and they (Stevie) are my favorites. Fleetwood Mac was there through quite a few of my relationships...songs for when it was good, and songs for when they ended.
I relived every one of those emotions last night.
When they sang "Tusk" I went back to that beautiful day when my daughter graduated from USC and we all stood on our chairs as the Trojan band played Tusk...it was one of the happiest days of my life, at one of the best Universities listening to one of the best bands college has to offer. If you don't already know Fleetwood Mac recorded the song with the Trojan Band...so USC plays it at every single football game (with the added yell at the end "UCLA sucks"....sorry Bruins, it's just part of the reverie)
This band is absolutely ageless....Christine McVie is 71.....Lindsey Buckingham is 65....Mick Fleetwood is 67....and my Stevie? Almost 67. Isn't this amazing?
Mick Fleetwood had the best time. It's true we were an incredible sold out,audience. But he was so happy. So glad to be there. And so amazing on the drums...
They came back out 2 times...each time Stevie
Nicks told a story from their past. They are open about the problems they have had, the drug abuse, divorces and just being dysfunctional. But they have come out the other end, and that is what they are all the happiest about.
In one of the stories Stevie told she said, "Don't ever give up, don't stop dreaming or believing in yourself." It sounded like she had learned that the hard way. Funny how we think some people have it all, when in fact they are struggling with things just like the rest of us.
But they do have the rockstar thing down cold.
I loved this trip down memory lane!
