I was 16 when Rumours was released. I was already a diehard Fleetwood Mac fan by then. I remember my friend Anne gifting me handwritten lyrics for "Gold Dust Woman" (she'd done that for "Rhiannon" too). One of the highlights of my life was back in 2014 singing "Gold Dust Woman" in a bar with the band!
Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorite bands of all time. Steely Dan is another. Perhaps a post about Fagen and Becker is coming soon?
Thank you for your wonderful writing. Love going on this musical journey with you.
Beautiful, dear Lynn! I love that gift of the handwritten lyrics. I used to do that as a teen, too. It's how the lyrics get emblazoned into our hearts and minds - thru the hand, writing.
Steely Dan is incredible. One must dive deep into that catalogue, to be sure. Jazz, blues, rock genius, Fagen and Becker.
I'd love to hear from folks if they're wanting more music writing. I have much to say and to share - to keep it all alive for all generations.
Thank you, Lynn. Rock on, Gold Dust Woman. Love you.
Yes, handwritten lyrics...I spent hours writing lyrics as a teen and young woman! And there were always those maddening words that you just couldn’t figure out, no matter how many times you listened.
Of course this is on your list! This came out when I was 16, and I know every last note. I will never grow tired of it, and have played it here at Ängsbacka while cooking in the kitchen to the delight of many ✨

Like in "Blinded By the Light"!?!? "Swept up like a ??? in the middle of the night." 🤣
I always that the word was "douche." Am I allowed to write that word here?
Actual lyrics:
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night…
Yep, Bruce Springsteen wrote "deuce," but Manfred Mann confused us all with his douchey pronunciation ;)!
Exactly!!! And I thought it was douche, as well, but that made no sense 😝
Lyrics without Google were something else.
Completely agree. That's why we remember the lyrics from back then... we had to really concentrate.
