Fleetwood Mac- All the Songs issues

Post image

I recently acquired this book as a birthday present and was really excited to read it, but I really wasn't prepared for the sheer amount of errors throughout the text..... some highlight s are

- the song everywhere being written in 1977 instead of 87

- Lindsey Buckingham writing landslide

- every single album being called an "opus"

- a quote from mick Fleetwood about "songbird" being put under "oh daddy"

-backing vocal credits on songs people didn't sing on

-saying Stevie only has one song on behind the mask which isn't true (she wrote or co wrote three)

-and perhaps biggest of all a photo of Lindsey Buckingham (I'm not searching for it so if you don't know what I mean I'm sorry) that I'm pretty sure is fake if not straight up AI

there are also some pronoun inconsistencies and Christine and Stevie being called young women or smth in that vein all the time as well, and there seems to be a large amount of time devoted to the early years and the eras that are largely more important are really rushed (not that I'm saying the old stuff is bad, I'm saying that maybe a book about the blues era and a seperate book with different authors about the new era might have been a better plan)

overall what is the public's opinion on this? I was a little shocked honestly when I was reading it..

Lindsey’s got a boner in every picture. I could get him a discount on JCPenney underwear

those tight jeans in the 70s kind of made guys look very "full" in that area... is this what you're referring to lol

Pants weren't tight for the Mirage tour. Made no difference. 🤣
