We didn’t have to talk on the phone, we really weren’t phone buddies. Then we would go back to Fleetwood Mac, and we would walk in and it would be like, ‘Little sister, how are you?’ It was like never a minute had passed, never an argument in our entire 47 years.»Following audience cheers, Nicks continued, «So, when it was the two of us, the two of us were on our own, kids, we always were.
