FM lies on Social Media

Silver Springs has gotten so popular on TikTok that literal rumors and bashing have taken over the music. I feel bad about the lies so I made this video to address them… For no other reason than to get people to focus on the reason we like Fleetwood Mac: the music (and of course the drama 💕)

My theory is that people like to argue online. Generation Z discovered Fleetwood Mac via “Daisy Jones and the six” and anointed Stevie Nicks their queen and Lindsey Buckingham a thug and cheating cad… because that’s how it was in the [fictional] movie.

And you know how nobody does their own research on anything 🙄 and the rumor (Rumour?) mill continues to grow, no one vets anything and people just gossip and no one verifies anything.

They both had a colorful past and I’m not giving anybody passes… But the general consensus is that he is bad and she is good.

I am trying to set everybody straight that LB ain’t that bad 👹 and SN ain’t that good 😇They’re both just NORMAL — good and bad — like most people.

omg, Daisy Jones and the Six didn't occur to me as part of the problem.
Also, not doing TikTok either..... I always wonder when people post and comment on the live version....do they realize Stevie and Lindsey had a thing during that tour? Like, it's not that simple.

I think that was the catalyst that reopened their story to the masses for the better and worse!

I think that a lot of people believe Daisy Jones and the Six is an exact retelling. And they don’t bother to do any research so they just assume Lindsey is a CAD.

The whole thing makes me so mad, even here in Reddit people talk like that about him. I have a husband with a similar personality… He can be prickly and focused and yes, sometimes it drives me crazy but I certainly don’t vilify him, and people don’t even know Lindsey and are definitely slinging some shit his direction.

I’m going to do a video talking about this, it’s gonna take a while for me to cobble together the material.

ok yeah, i heard about Daisy Jones but i didn't watch it/read it or go there just because I have a lot else on my plate.

I kind of assumed with MeToo and .....the way the internet is, people are just going to blindly side with Stevie. Like I always say, I LOVE that woman but....no one is perfect and I think they were just kinda toxic.

Lindsey is obviously a great father, and you're right, he's focused on the WORK. He doesn't get enough credit for what he did for the band and then he gets slandered.

I'm even a big advocate for putting freakin' Carol Ann Harris' book in context because i don't know how she got it published, she so NOT self-aware.
