remembering how this turned out...

not a fleetwood mac fan at all. this one's in my top ten.

been watching tom hanks' wwll documentary. when it shows film of people sitting with & applauding hitler, i think about the shame descendants of those folks must feel when they see their ancestors doing that. some day the same is gonna be true for the whcd attendees children, grandchildren, etc.
