The 1970s had everything, lava lamps, mood rings, instant cameras, and Fleetwood Mac. They weren’t just a band, and they weren’t just singing songs, they were letting their feelings bleed into the microphone. They were raw, electric, and unapologetic.
Behind every song was a story, and behind every glance, a truth the public couldn’t quite grasp. They gave us Rumours, on vinyl and in real life, an album so iconic it made the ugliest feelings sound beautiful, and that is still referenced decades later.
If you were a Fleetwood Mac fan back then, welcome back. And if you’re new here, you’re welcome.
