Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours': Everything You Didn't Know

Too Much Information

Jordan and Alex look back on the creation of one of rock’s most storied albums — from one of rock’s most cursed enterprises. They’ll discuss the band’s cocaine fueled pursuit of perfection, including the time Lindsey Buckingham strangled one of the engineers, as well as the saga of “Silver Springs,” and the mystery of Mick Fleetwood’s (wooden) balls. They’ll also discuss why Buckingham restrung his guitar every twenty minutes to record "Never Going Back Again," why Stevie Nicks wrote “Dreams” in Sly Stone’s bed, and why the Rolling Stone cover shoot added to the intense interpersonal drama within the group. (The answer to all of these, directly or indirectly, is cocaine.)
