Band Name Origins:
- Short for "Fleetwood McVie" for the drummer and bass player. Band founder Peter Green refused to name the band after himself, so it wound up being named after the rhythm section. Submitted by: Chrys Jordan
- When the band started as a 4-piece they went by the name Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac featuring Jeremy Spencer incorporating the names of all of the band. Eventually it was truncated to the more catchy Fleetwood Mac. Thats what it says in the sleeve notes of the BBC recordings CD anyway. Submitted by: Matt

a parody of "Silver Springs" by Fleetwood Mac
Written in 2008, and recorded that same year, Dave's original performance was one of eh-let's get it over with. Revisiting all these classics is giving me lots of new fun ideas, not sure when I'm going to be ready to jump back in the fray, but this was a fun one this time around.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Landslide"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills...
Why They're Nonsensical: Snow doesn't reflect, Stevie. Your ex-beau could stare at those hills for the entire winter and never once see your reflection. Come to think of it, even if snow did reflect, the reflection he'd see would be his own, so what was the point of that line?
Submitted by: Brian D. Smith

take your silver spoon, and dig your grave. Why They're Nonsensical: I'm not sure if Stevie was high when she wrote this, but this song was about her drug abuse.

Lyrics Pronunciation:
"Dreams"
The Lyrics: When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
Why: Stevie Nicks puts the stress on the second syllable of "washes" rather than on the first, which used to make me think she was saying "When the rain won't shoes you clean, you'll know," and I used to think it was funny.
