I went to his restaurant and gallery on the bottom floor in April and was supposed to go back in November. I got married here and have been going to Maui since I was a child. My heart breaks for all the people of Maui and those who have lost loved ones. I am so sorry for your loss. Mick Fleetwood is a class act - thank you for all you are doing!

We need more good souls like him

I absolutely love Mick Fleetwood. I’m so sorry to all the people of Maui.

[@PollyAlice2000]

We love you Mick, and we love Lahaina. Married 43 years, we spent many many wedding anniversaries on Maui. Renewed our vows there on our 25th with our entire family. So many memories. We are sending what we can to Red Cross for the Maui wildfires, and encourage everyone to do what they can to help people. Praying daily for those mourning loved ones and the loss of homes and businesses. Lahaina must not be lost. It must be rebuilt. It taught people around the world about Hawaiian history and culture. We pray it will be doing so again in the future. The loss of life is tragic, and we hope those left behind will be cared for and comforted.

Flew on a plane to Hawaii for the first time in 1977. A dude named Mick Fleetwood was on that plane. I barely knew who he was and I was surprised to see a British rocker on a plane from California to Hawaii. It wasn't until this video, decades later, that I learn he actually lives there. Wishing the best for him, his staff and all who've been impacted by this devastating fire.

The people need time to heal, pay respects to all that was lost. I hope and pray the island of Maui and the town of Lahaina will survive. I hope the Hawaiian spirit will remain in Lahaina. I remember going to Lahaina many years ago and how special it really was. You could feel something that was really special. There are always rainbows on the islands of Hawaii, that is one thing I do remember. I hope the rainbows will give them hope. I hope the Banyan Tree will survive and it will give the people some home and the rainbows will give them peace.

At 1:51, we hear a snippet of "Rattlesnake Shake", a song Fleetwood Mac originallly recorded back in the 60's when they were a traditional blues and blues-rock band with 3 guitarists including the legendary Peter Green, long before Christine [nee' Perfect❤] McVie and later Stevie Nicks (😖) and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band. I love their blues-rock period, and I like the somewhat psychedelic period of records like "Mystery to Me" and "Bare Trees", but they probably should have hung it up after "Rumours". (I include the above information for the younger folks who might not know about the band's early history ---- For instance, did you know that Black Magic Woman was actually a Fleetwood Mac song and not written by Santana?). Anyway, I'm very sorry for the loss of life as well as the loss of homes and businesses, and hopefully Fleetwood and others with a little bit of money and clout can help the rebuilding and recovery process go faster.
