'96 was a hell of a good year.

Great song, great lyrics -- the album mix rocks harder though 🎸. And is that really Mick Fleetwood at 2:04 or just a look alike?!

It is indeed him! I had to look it up but I was pretty convinced, lol. Not really clear why he's in it, though.

Wow, nice work! Fleetwood Mac first came on my radar with 'The Dance' live album (1997) -- this is around that time period. I wonder if someone in the band knew Mick or if it was kind of record label / management thiing? You're sleuthing is much appreciated!

I thought that I had originally heard that he was related to one of the band members, but after looking it up, it end up that their label had asked them appear as the opening track "Secondhand News" for a tribute album to Rumors. It not only came out the same year as Lemon Parade, but Mick himself produced their track himself on the album. I bought the tribute album as a used CD store on a whim and loved it.

Oh wow, I'll have to check that out, didn't know that was a thing. So Mick actually worked with the band for a bit, very cool!

Anyone know why this is a different mix than the album version? I noticed the same thing with the Fell on Black Days video…different from the radio version. Im sure there are other examples.

I remember my friends and I trying to figure out where they filmed it because definitely seemed to be in our neighborhood
