damn.......liked all of the different Fleetwood Mac lineups...... the longstanding one with Christie and Stevie as singers was just excellent music.

She will be missed.

It’s stuck in my head.

It’s stuck in my head.

yeah...its funny how they do that. And it introduces songs that you knew, and liked, but hadn't heard in a while.

I recall the Stone's "Like a Rainbow" as well.

I happened to mention the commercial in the "Reviving Friday Jukebox" thread not too long ago because the song kept playing in my head. I first heard it during the World Series, and then looked it up on YouTube. The music video here dramatizes the awesome poem, The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. I don't which I like more, the song, the video, or the poem. All three in one makes for some good artistry in my humble opinion.

(✂️snip...)
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding—Riding—riding
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

(This goes out to you Christine.)
