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.
Kismet: as I was typing this comment, “The Chain” started playing on the radio

Thanks for the clarification. Very interesting. I didn't know that many details about it. I really should check if there is some kind of official biography available. Though I guess many of these juicy details would be left out intentionally. :-)
Edit: "The Chain" is one of the many songs from them I really like.
