Everybody's trying to say I'm wrong
I just wanna be back where I belong

World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down

Maybe I'm wrong but who's to say what's right
I need somebody to help me through the night

World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down

Maybe I'm wrong but who's to say what's right
I need somebody to help me through the night

World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down

World turning
Everybody's got me down
World turning
Everybody's got me down

Thsi song has a vibe of the older 'bluesy' FM. I looked it up and sure enough it had it's roots in early FM.

I miss Christine....

Brings back memories of times I first fell under the influence of "the Devil's Weed"... Boy Scouts, Overnights deep in The Ozarks... This, Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do," Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," and 10cc's "The Things We Do for Love," shall always haunt me with awe and reverence... We were lucky, blessed, and spoiled to have such good music on the radio! Thanks, RP, for being just like our "hero" DJs back in the day!

And management. Mick knew the industry as well as anyone. I can't help but think that he fell backwards into LB & SN though. He was lucky to find them first!

Fair enough. 
I was referring specifically to the comments that actually are moronic or offensive, like the one that referred to Stevie Nicks as "that trampy slut ruined the band". I think one can state one's musical preference without referring to the artist as a "trampy slut".

Playing the Sister Hazel "Gold Dust Woman" cover right before this really shows off how tight Fleetwood Mac's vocals were during this period. Sorry, but the Sister Hazel attempt at a Fleetwood Mac song just doesn't quite measure up.  And Linsey Buckingham is, I think, highly underrated as a guitarist.  {#Cheers}

What a great follow up to Sister Hazels "Gold Dust Woman" !

Isn't it brilliant how the lead voice switches between Perfect and Buckingham?

What a great great tune. This whole album caught me by surprise since I was never a FM fan before. It was a gift out of the blue and MAN.

Granted some of these are not 'RnR' bands as such. But co-ed nonetheless. I agree it's less prevalent than it once was. But it's not gone; and saying it'll never come back demonstrates hubris, not fact.

We just came from Leo Kottke doing a Fleetwood Mac cover, and true to Radio Paradise form, we get a song from the original artist.  But Leo Kottke covers this song as well and I love it.  Of course the vocals are a bit...deadpan.  But with Leo its always about the pickin'.

Unfortunately, Peter Green has possibly been having conniptions for a many years. I'm not sure how or why this tune would have made any difference other than that it is similarly-named to one of his tunes.

Good call.  Fleetwood Mac was a band in search of a guitar player and singer after Bob Welch departed.  Mick heard the tapes of a struggling duo called Buckingham Nicks and liked their sound.  He called them and got them to join the band.  Rest is history, as they say.

You should check out some of the older, Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac. They had a blues-based album called "Fleetwood Mac in Chicago" (circa 1969) that tears it up. It Had Willie Dixon and Shakey Horton on it and a host of all these old long-since-gone Chicago blues players. It's an excellent album.

But therapy would have prevented "Rumors" from ever being recorded, seeing as how the album was one long attempt by the members to communicate with each other their hurt and anger they felt as personal relationships turned sour tore at the fabric of the group. It resulted in a riviting album.
