This song, “Why did you do it?,” is addressed to Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac, who pulled out of a tour with members of Stretch in 1974, who were to tour America under the name of ‘Fleetwood Mac’ to fulfil contracts & bookings, arranged by Fleetwood Mac manager Clifford Davis. After Mick Fleetwood pulled out of the tour it was a public humiliation for the band-members and manager Clifford Davis. Mick Fleetwood denied any involvement with the fiasco of the tour and fought for control of the name of the band, claimed by Clifford Davis, Fleetwood Mac manager. This led to a protracted legal battle between Mick Fleetwood and Clifford Davis, manager of Fleetwood Mac, Danny Kirwan, & Stretch. Mick Fleetwood won the legal battle and established legally that only a band with him and John McVie In it can legitimately be called ‘Fleetwood Mac.’ “It was no accident, you planned it. Why did you do it?” (Stretch). Paul Raymond played on my late friend Danny Kirwan’s first solo album post Fleetwood Mac “Second Chapter”. They formed a short lived band “Hungry Fighter” in 1974, which disbanded after their first gig ended in a terrible road crash with serious injury to their road manager & the destruction of their instruments & equipment. My condolences to Paul’s family and loved ones. Rest in peace Paul, your music lives on. My late friend Danny Kirwan of Fleetwood Mac released three solo albums (“Second Chapter” 1975, “Midnight In San Juan “ 1976 & “Hello there big boy!” 1979, under DJM Records, owned now by Universal Music, including a Reggae version of The Beatles’ “Let it Be.” Danny loved The Beatles. I should like to see those three solo albums remastered and rereleased. Millions of music fans would too.
