Fleetwood Mac

Some bands get played to death. I grew up in country NSW. Country AM radio is dire, I think they only had ten records. Fleetwood Mac was one of those bands. Ugh.

Of course I have been living in Semaphore for years now, well away from country radio. I was just listening to Old Fart radio (ABC local radio), practicing for retirement, when they played Fleetwood Mac. And, like stout Cortez on a peak in Darien, I realised that Fleetwood Mac are an astonishing group, not a crap band at all.

I'm not expecting the same discovery should I re-encounter Supertramp one day.
