BIG MAC

Thank you, Robert Hilburn, for an insightful cover story on five of the most talented individuals in pop music today (“Big Mac Is Back,” June 14).

The article managed to pinpoint one of the major reasons for Fleetwood Mac’s enduring success over the last dozen years: The band is composed of five distinct personalities who are not afraid to exercise their creativity outside the realm of Fleetwood Mac. When the band manages to come together to work on a project, the creative energy in the air is bound to result in friction. As their fans know, however, the results are well worth it.

If more albums and tours are in Fleetwood Mac’s future, I will eagerly await them. If, on the other hand, this is the Mac’s last “Tango in the Night,” I am happy to have been along for the ride.
