Basically, this was what drove me out of the commune -- not the grups you
mention, but the loud music and the arrival of coke. I never listened to
Fleetwood Mac until my daughter Faera left us one of their CDs when she
moved to New York. Some of it is really great.

I don't know anything about them except they don't give interviews or
something. All rock groups are product. It's a very communal and corporate
format, not quite as complex as film, but still involving a lot of staff.

I'm not really sure. I was just saying that to be smart. I hardly listened
to music after 1971. I've been catching up a little because Faera also left
us her stereo.
