A Very Special Friend.

FLEETWOOD MAC: Not a Rumour

When Fleetwood Mac first started out, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie had a very special stage prop -- a plastic penis.

"We were ridiculous," says Fleetwood. "We wanted to stand out from all the other Englishmen playing traditional blues, so we never held back. I used to play with a massive dildo stuck to the top of my bass drum so the thing would wiggle front and centre through the entire set. We used to cover Elvis (Presley), and for John's number he'd pull his bass up high and put that thing through his zipper. He'd be there doing Elvis' hubba-hubba routine with this massive [plastic penis] hanging out of his trousers." Of course, Fleetwood says the prop did not work so well when they played a Christian college in Texas.
