Filed under: Fleetwood Mac, Music, Rock Tours

All the signs are there we’re about to be asked to fork out hundreds of dollars to see the latest we-spent-all-the-royalties-in-the-80s tour from a band that should have retired years ago.

Bloggers are talking about it, a reference to them has shown up on the Ticketmaster website, and people are Tweeting it so it must be almost true. That’s right - it looks like Fleetwood Mac is coming to a winery near you.

She became ''quite distressed'' when her English marks began to fall." I can sympathise. My scholastic mentors conveyed to me a causal relationship… [read more]
