"These Strange Times" is undoubtedly the album's most fascinating piece, an
ambient blend of tribal drums, solo cello and ethereal strings, with Mick's
autobiographical contemplation about addiction and redemption. Says Mick of
the song, "The refrain can be read 'God is nowhere' or 'God is now here.'
It's simplistic but it says that no matter how shitty things get, there's
light at the end of the tunnel, and it's never too late to turn your life
around. This is the first time in thirty years I came out from behind the
drums to say something. I hope the song may reach some people, and maybe
even do some good."
I don't know what album the song "These Strange Times" is on.
Fleetwood overcame drug and alcohol addictions that were literally killing him.
No doubt he went through some type of 12 step program, and as we all know, they
involve calling on a "Higher Power." Which may or may not be the God that we
know and love.
It would be pretty nice if he were a Christian, Wouldn't it?.
"The TV business is a cruel and shallow money trench.
A long plastic hallway where pimps and thieves run free
and good men die like dogs." - Hunter S. Thompson
