And props to David Wild - Rolling Stone Magazine writer for calling one of Stevie's new
songs "Italian Summer" one of her top 3 songs ever. And maybe the single most romantic.

REVENGE ON RECORD...

#6 Fleetwood Mac 'Go Your Own Way'

It's a miracle Fleetwood Mac stayed together during the mid-70s, with all the bed-hopping and drug taking. Even more amazing is that they produced their masterpiece, ‘Rumours', featuring this embittered pop masterpiece, written by Lindsey Buckingham about his split with Stevie Nicks. "Packing up, shacking up is all you want to do," he charmingly told the entire world, while she mumbled the backing vocals.

The only thing more captivating than watching thousands of hardcore Stevie Nicks fans mill around in one place is watching the woman herself, who, at 62, still sounds—and looks—as remarkable as ever. Clad in the requisite all-black ensemble and with a truckload of bedazzled scarves at her disposal, the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman delivered a powerful, emotive, and at times downright rockin’ set to throngs of fans and lookalikes at the Santa Barbara Bowl this past Wednesday night.
