I worked out tonight. Like usual, I brought my pda with me. I listened to Rumours while systematically destroying all the muscles in my upper body. I'm not sure I'll ever think the album brilliant, but it is pretty damn good.
There was a moment while wrecking my triceps on that evil, vile pain machine when the lyrics for "Go Your Own Way" really struck me. I thought "I've got to write about this more."
I envisioned a long analysis with plenty of parallels to the real word dramas of the band. I was going to note songwriting credit, study the liner notes, break down the lyrics a line at a time.
Yeah, I've totally lost interest in that. So here's what you get:

"Oh, Daddy" is really fucking good. I somehow doubt it's actually about someone's father, but it's still really good.
Like I said, I'm trying very hard to appreciate this album. But I'm still having a hard time getting past Mick Fleetwood's balls on the album cover.

Chuck Klosterman has been trying very hard to convince me of the brilliance of Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album Rumours.
I mentioned this to The Bunny and she said, "Ooh, I love that album. I've got that on CD if you want to listen to it."
So I made some mp3s and I've been listening to it on my portable lately.
It's not bad, but I don't yet know if I completely agree with Girlfriend and Klosterman.
