My Twenty-five Years In Fleetwood Mac – Mick Fleetwood, 1992 ★★½

Looking Back at "Twenty-five Years," 25 Years Later

Windsor, England is home to Great Britain’s Royal Family; half a century ago it spawned rock royalty, too. Sunday, August 13, 2017 will mark the 50^th anniversary of the debut on a Windsor stage of a blues quartet that became a pop sensation and finally a cultural institution.

Let’s jump back halfway from that auspicious day to 1992, and the publication of this scrapbook-style memoir marking the 25^th anniversary of that band, Fleetwood Mac.

Fleetwood – Mick Fleetwood, 1990 ★★

Rock 'n' Roll Sometimes Forgets

How does one spend two decades in one of pop music’s biggest bands, and emerge eight million dollars in debt?

No wonder this memoir Fleetwood proves such a disappointing read. How could he possibly have remembered anything!
