Why did you say yes to working with Cliff again?

From the ashes of the new Fleetwood Mac rose Stretch, a group fronted by Elmer, featuring the bass player from the tour and... Kirby came back from the deep low that he'd been in.

Kirby, Elmer's musical partner.

A lot of musicians who came in weren't actually interested in joining the band.

Finally, they had a lineup, and they went into the studio.

A song he'd written during his hiatus from music.

But Elmer really connected with the lyrics.

They were about betrayal and dishonesty.

Like, the only one who knows the truth, that's him, me, and you.

The damage is much deeper than you'll ever see.

Was it a very conscious comment on the Fleetwood Mac disaster?

they decided to run through it right there in the studio.

Even though Elmer's throat was sore and his voice was really more like a growl.

And then, he explodes.

To my ears now, it's a pretty scorching track.

Like, you guys sound pissed.
