Have I missed my chance to see Fleetwood Mac live?

Diehards might say the chance passed me by years ago when Christine McVie called it quits, but now Mick Fleetwood is saying that the remaining foursome may never hit the road together again. With Stevie Nicks continuing to tour behind last year’s solo album, In Your Dreams album, any plans for Fleetwood Mac have been called off. “It comes down to her, and for the first time, I think, even Lindsey [Buckingham] has lost his patience,” Fleetwood tells Playboy magazine.

Ah, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. The interplay between the two former lovers has always been fascinating, with their breakup first put up for public consumption via “Go Your Own Way.” Written and sung by Buckingham, it was the lead single from what became a monumental album for Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, and also their first top 10 hit. Amazingly, Nicks sings backup on “Go Your Own Way,” a track in which the invective is directed at her.

“Go Your Own Way” has been the subject of many a cover in the three-plus decades since its 1976 release, with Lissie the latest to give “Go Your Own Way” a go. Last November, Illinois-born, California-based singer-songwriter released Covered Up With Flowers, an EP featuring renditions of tracks by Kid Cudi, Nick Cave, Metallica, Joe South, and Lady Gaga (a quite brilliant “Bad Romance”).

Now Lissie has appended Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way” to the EP, recorded for a new advertisement for Twinings tea in the UK. Commercial use aside — how exactly does a kiss-off song relate to tea bags? — Lissie’s cover of “Go Your Own Way” is steeped in real emotion, the only way Fleetwood Mac’s devastation-pop classic should be done.
