Christine McVie Deep Dive: Say You Will
As late-career comebacks go, this one’s respectable without ever being revelatory, and lord knows it isn’t succinct, running a minute longer than ‘Tusk’ when half of that would have sufficed.
After reuniting in ’97 and touring until their Hall of Fame induction in ’98, it was inevitable the most beloved version of Fleetwood Mac would make new music. With both Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham in the mix for the first time since ‘Tango in the Night’ it also isn’t surprising this behemoth obliterates the stale duds that preceded it.
Christine McVie Deep Dive: Mase’s ‘Double Up’
I almost skipped this entry in my fathoms-deep dive into Christine McVie’s discography on the grounds that it’s utterly trivial and draws unnecessary attention to a certain S. Combs, about whom the less said the better.
Christine McVie Deep Dive: ‘The Dance’
This is a story I’ve waited nearly three years to tell, ever since I launched this deep dive into Christine McVie’s discography shortly after her death in November 2022.
But I’d like to start it by addressing widespread memes remarking on Stevie Nicks staring daggers into Lindsey Buckingham during ‘Silver Springs’ a little past an hour into this Fleetwood Mac reunion special. Yes, I see it too. As with key lyrics from any of a half-dozen songs about their failed romance, it’s extra fun to read interpretations into that look. It’s easy to understand why this moment has become both an avatar for the spurned and another example of what a badass Stevie always was.
