Fleetwood Mac in the Rumours era; Carly Simon and James Taylor
S2E2: Go Your Own Way | Fleetwood Mac and Carly Simon & James Taylor
This week, pull on something mustard yellow and get your glitter scarves out of the closet: we’re taking a trip to the 1970s!
First up, Stacie has the trashy situation that rock superstars Fleetwood Mac found themselves in circa 1977, when the whole band was a roiling mess of heartbreak, infidelity, illicit attraction, and power-pop prowess.
In the second block, Alicia has the heartwrenching story of the marriage of Carly Simon and James Taylor. Though they had two children and spent years together, James’s drug addiction eventually made the marriage untenable.
