It's like he wants to tell everyone about the coke and the sex and the violence but not take any of the blame for anything, though he participates in and even supplies the band with coke through a friend.
A lot of sexism-(he and the "boys" are just so happy when the "girls" are not in the studio so they can spread Playboys around and do boy things?) (Stevie is not as important or interesting because she does not play an instrument) to hitting on and sleeping with multiple women at the same time ("it's the seventies"). Then the creep factor comes into play- constant little passive aggressive digs at Stevie Nicks (of all people). He loves his doggy (famously used on the cover of Tusk, biting his shoe) and he seems nice enough at the beginning. I'd say the Grammy he won and the kind decision of the band to give him a producer credit is probably credit enough.
He can't decide if he wants to take credit for the success of an album that he had no hand in writing or performing or being falsely modest as if he wants the reader to think he deserves so much credit. First just to be honest, the technical aspect of the book is quite interesting-obviously the author has talent as an engineer. I have gone through several stages of thought while reading this book and I really had to take a breath before writing this review. Now, for the first time, Ken Caillat, the album's co-producer, tells the full story of what really went into making "Rumours"-from the endless partying and relationship dramas to the creative struggles to write and record "You Make Loving Fun," "Don't Stop," "Go Your Own Way," "The Chain," and other timeless tracks.Tells the fascinating, behind-the-music story of the making of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours," written by the producer who saw it all happen Filled with new and surprising details, such as Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's screaming match while recording "You Make Loving Fun," how the band coped with the pressures of increasing success, how the master tape nearly disintegrated, and the incredible attention paid to even the tiniest elements of songs, from Lindsey playing a chair to Mick breaking glass Includes eighty black-and-white photographs More recently, Rolling Stone named it the twenty-fifth greatest album of all time and the hit TV series Glee devoted an entire episode to songs from "Rumours," introducing it to a new generation. Inside the making of one of the biggest-selling albums of all time: Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours"Fleetwood Mac's classic 1977 "Rumours" album topped the Billboard 200 for thirty-one weeks and won the Album of the Year Grammy.
