Umm, all the original members of Fleetwood Mac were men. And while some strange things certainly did go on, I don't think inter-bandmate romance was one of them.

people that live touring aint got the time to know others. so they end up dating each other. almost every lone singer marries her bodyguard or agent. with the passing of the years, the differences start to weigh, and they separate. different from people who had the time to choose. in the end the raw fact is that nobody can spend the whole life with the same person. there comes a time when you got tired of the same thing all the time.

Your statement is not a "raw fact," it's an opinion.
