Nathaniel Rateliff’s “And it's Still Alright” was written about he and his wife’s divorce. It’s one of those records where the meaning behind the songs just bleeds out in them, both lyrically and performance wise. It’s one of my favorite albums of the last few years, but man, it’s got some real pain in it.

It’s even more insane and salacious than that. Christine wrote “You make loving fun” about the affair she was having with the band’s lighting director. Her husband, Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie, recorded it thinking it was about their dogs.

After Stevie Nicks and Buckingham broke up, and Nicks was dating Don Henley (who’s it’s rumored she was seeing before her divorce from Lindsey), she cheated on Henley with Mick Fleetwood. Keeping in mind, her angry and hurt ex husband is still part of the band she and her new affair partner are in. Oh, and while she’s banging Mick, he’s in the middle of trying to fix things with his ex wife Jenny Boyd, who’d had an affair with the former lead guitar player Bob Weston, who Fleetwood fired. Buckingham wrote “go your own way” as a fuck you to Nicks.

I sincerely doubt there’s another band out there with as much utterly insane soap opera internal drama.

For me it's the utter and complete Middle Class Whiteness of her lyrics and style. The kind of hopes, dreams, and worries that seem to be the content of her lyrics are the kind of things that only become important enough to sing plaintively about if you have lived the kind of life you would expect growing up in suburbia with supportive, loving parents.
