From The Archives: When Musicians Take Fire At The Critics

Here's a bit of bonus subscriber content. Something I wrote a while back - but it mostly still holds, because I was actually writing about stuff that happened back in 1977.

A while back I was given a very nice gift – the May issue of Creem magazine. From 1977. There’s an almost unintelligible review of Leon Redbone by R. Meltzer. And there’s a review of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours that singles out Dreams as the only decent song, suggests that Christine McVie has really let her writing fall away and pines for the band to return to its blues/R’n’B roots.

Funny.
