Mid-Week Song

The U.S. - British group Fleetwood Mac enjoyed a decade of pop rock hits starting in the 1970s. The turmoil within the band itself -- artistic differences and failed relationships -- were in part the catalyst for some of their greatest songs.  1976's "Go Your Own Way", their first number one hit, was an angry break- up song penned by guitarist / vocalist Lindsey Buckingham about his girlfriend / bandmate Stevie Nicks. On top of that, bandmates John McVie and Christine McVie had just divorced, and the band's namesake and powerful drummer, Mick Fleetwood, had just broken up with his wife. So the bad relationship "vibes" produced one of the great rock songs of the decade. Fleetwood turns 73 today, so a "happy birthday" to him, and drum on through the strife!
