Fleetwood Mac: Reunited and It Feels So Bittersweet

'Mac is Back 

While I'm incredibly excited for the beginning of October for various reasons, (the fashion, the changing of the leaves, my birthday, and the addition of my favorite television series, Gilmore Girls, to Netflix) the next two days, October will be torture.

Mainly because Fleetwood Mac will be performing at the United Center, in Chicago on October 2nd and 3rd, and I will be...well not there. Hence, the upset. The tour kicked off yesterday, opening in  Minneapolis, MN and is set to visit a total of thirty-three cities in North America. While Fleetwood Mac has been on tour plenty of times the past couple of years, this time ALL of Fleetwood Mac Band Members will be present. So, that means singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, bassist John McVie, drummer Mick Fleetwood, singer Stevie Nicks and singer/keyboardist Christine McVie will be performing all under the same roof...FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE  1997!

So maybe now you'll understand my disappointment. 

Fleetwood Mac: Built My Life Around You

I'm not sure when I first became a fan of Fleetwood Mac, but all I know is their songs have the ability to make me want to dance, or make me want to sob uncontrollably. "Landslide" is the best example of a song that can make me cry, no matter what version. (Trust me, I've heard so many different versions, and every time I bawl like a baby).

While my favorite Fleetwood Mac song has to be "Landslide," my favorite album (as well as their most successful one),  would have to be Rumours, which was released just as the band was breaking up. (More specifically when Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham), and featured some songs you should really check out. "I Don't Want to Know", "Don't Stop" and "Go Your Own Way", are more of their well known songs, but the entire album is one you should give a listen to.
