On January 26, 2018, the five members of Fleetwood Mac stepped on stage at the MusiCares ceremony to accept the award for Artist Of The Year. What resulted was the breakup of the band with one of its members...however...

Love Is... tells the story of two defining moments in the love story of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham - that fateful evening in 2018, and a week at the end of 2011, the week after Christmas, when a major loss in Stevie's life brought Lindsey to be by her side in Phoenix, Arizona and a long-put-away love affair was revisited in a moment of tremendous grief and emotion. 

Love Is... asks the question - What if things had ended differently at MusiCares? And what if the didn't end at all? What if it was only the beginning?

From 1995-2023, I chronicled the affair-turned-feud-turned-marriage of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, finally uniting them in "The Wild Heart" and continuing their journey in "Gold And Braid; A Love Story". In "Outside The Rain", it was a life-threatening illness in 2022 that was the catalyst for a Buckingham Nicks love reunion. And now, how about another alternate ending to the greatest love story in rock & roll history... The year is 2022. Separated by miles and by their long-standing feud since the 2018 MusiCares debacle, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are enjoying their separate solo careers in their 70s on two separate tours... That is, until a phone call to both from a band member about ANOTHER famous Fleetwood Mac couple's late-in-life reunion throws them both together for the first time in nearly 5 long years... The chain may keep them together, but will it help them all find their way back together for good after 5 years apart? Find out in my next present-day Buckingham Nicks reunion love story, "If You Were My Love".

In the spring of 1997, Lindsey Buckingham was having fun in the studio, jamming with Mick, John and occasionally Christine, 4 out of 5 members of Fleetwood Mac ready to rumble. That was when Warner Brothers, capitalizing on the renewed energy and friendships, decided adding Stevie to the mix for a full-blown reunion concert would be a great idea. The Dance, as it was soon called, reunited 5 great musicians and friends...and also...a couple, 20 years smarter and saner and still very much in love. In this THIRD version of The Dance from GoldDustLinda77, you will follow along as Stevie and Lindsey finally clear the air in an effort to see, as they both approach 50, if love can conquer all...if they just sit down and talk and "let their secrets free, baby." Welcome back to 1997, that pivotal moment in history when Buckingham Nicks proves second chances are what happens if you "let the walls burn down" and talk it out.
