If I had known at 18 or 20 what I know know, it would have been really dangerous. Fun, but really dangerous.
If I had known at 20 what I know now, I would have been a little smarter. Enough to have avoided some really stupid things I can't unremember.

I remember a saying I once saw. If you look back at your younger self and think you were pretty clever and insightful, it only proves you still aren’t.
 
She may not look as good as 'the witch', but, IMO, she has a better voice and more variety in her musical abilities.
I’d agree with that. Although Nick’s voice defined many of their hits, keyboard McVie had a number of great hit vocals as well as outstanding key play. Shock Jock Howard Stern said it all when he defined Nick’s voice as something akin to an aardvark farting in the wind (paraphrasing because I can’t fine the actual quote).

Oh yeah, he was really something, just one thing for example, they all used to meet in a breakfast place every morning and half the time Chuck wouldn't show up, an hour later they'd get a phone call from chuck telling them he wanted $10,000 in cash in a paper bag or he wouldn't show up. He rented his house to them to shoot the films, he charged for everything, he was unbelievable. He punched Keef once, lots of other things too.
 
I also saw Peter Frampton open for Dave Mason at Madison Square Garden. It was the night before the show that was recorded for Frampton Comes Alive which was in Chicago. I was 14.
Saw him a few years ago. Still great. Just less hair. Like me. I think he kind of gets left out of the really great guitarist talks. To me had the perfect balance of being very personable, like he was a friend playing for you, very engaging, but not here's my stage shtick.
