Mick Fleetwood’s “Love That Burns”
Fleetwood Mac’s drummer Mick Fleetwood is releasing a limited edition version of the book that tells it all.
This won’t cover Fleetwood Mac as we know them, Mick says many of even the hardcore fans don’t know much about the band’s early days. He wanted that era to be better known.
The limited edition “Love That Burns” has never before seen photos from friends and colleagues of the band. It really gives you an inside look at what the band was like behind closed doors!
This is the first volume of what will be a series, covering 1967-1974.

Whole Foods Price Dropping
Now is the best time to get an Amazon Prime membership.
Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods is going to be complete on Monday, but they are already making promises.
From an Amazon press release, they are striving to make natural and organic food affordable to everyone, and as soon as the acquisition is complete, the first step to that will be lowering prices.
As a down payment on that vision, Whole Foods Market will offer lower prices starting Monday on a selection of best-selling grocery staples across its stores, with more to come.
Eventually, Amazon Prime will be used as Whole Food’s customer rewards program, giving patrons additional in store discounts and other benefits.
Today in History: Beatles Begin “Beatles for Sale”
It marked a more mature version of the Beatles.
On August 11th 1964, started recording their fourth album “Beatles for Sale.” The Beatles were wrapping up an exhausting worldwide tour, which changed their sound.
In the three previous Beatles albums, the sound was mostly joyful and exciting. This album marked a darker tone, mostly from tour exhaustion. With the darker tone, the lyrics in “Beatles for Sale” took a more introspective and autobiographical form.
“I’m a Loser,” written by front man and cofounder John Lennon (okay…it was technically cowritten by McCartney too, but yea…Lennon wrote it), it explores a mature love. It was one of the first Beatles songs to go beyond puppy love. The song even talks about keeping a stone wall happy face when things aren’t going well.
Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry
“Beatles for Sale” was a turning point for the quartet. It showed they were capable of writing the happy-go-lucky songs and consistently diving into the deeper, more mature material.
