Bill Clinton Remembers Christine McVie: ‘Don’t Stop’ Was ’92 Campaign Song
Rolling Stone ^ | 12/01/2022 | CHARISMA MADARANG

FORMER PRESIDENT BILL Clinton paid tribute to Fleetwood Mac singer and keyboardist, Christine McVie following her death Wednesday at the age of 79.

In a statement posted to his Twitter account, Clinton honored McVie and shared how “Don’t Stop” – a song written by the late artist for the band’s 1977 breakthrough album Rumours – was used in his presidential run in 1992. The former president said that at the time, the hit track “perfectly captured the mood of a nation eager for better days” and that he was “grateful to Christine & Fleetwood Mac for entrusting us with such a meaningful song.” He added, “I will miss her.”

He also shared a video entitled, “When Music Makes History,” that told the story of the song’s impact on Clinton’s baby boomer generation. After Fleetwood Mac broke up in 1987, the original lineup reunited for one night to perform “Don’t Stop” at Clinton’s 1993 Inaugural Gala.

I’m saddened by the passing of Christine McVie. “Don’t Stop” was my ’92 campaign theme song – it perfectly captured the mood of a nation eager for better days. I’m grateful to Christine & Fleetwood Mac for entrusting us with such a meaningful song. I will miss her. pic.twitter.com/UPUvpDWRZB

I am sure I was the only 14 year who cried when Bush 41 lost in 1992.

The real question:

Is McVie rolling in her grave, or not?

“Don’t! Stop!” has been a common phrase heard by Slick Willie throughout his life, I suspect.

I remember it well. I graduated High School in 1977 and we voted "Don't Stop Belevin'" as our class song.

Then Bill Clintoon ruined it in 1992.

In retrospect, Bush was the patriarch of the uniparty.

That was a different Don’t Stop song. McVie’s was thinking about tomorrow.

Bill and Hill are a great match. Two extreme ego maniacs.

In ‘96, I attended a Bob Dole rally in Somerville, NJ. Poor Bob Dole, stood exclaiming,”where is the outrage?” over about 2000 attendees.
But nobody could hear him speak. There was an ice cream truck with boom boxes blaring “DON’T STOP” so loud, I asked a cop if he could do something. He just raised his hands and smirked. So it goes.

“Don’t Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)”

As a penny-ante grifter/rapist with no real track record, Clinton used McVie to fool voters into choosing Hope over Experience. Bill’s spinners were indeed clever salesmen. But Ross Perot put Clinton in the White House, not Christine McVie.

It was the event that made me dislike Fleetwood Mac.

Before that, I kind of liked a few songs of theirs.

“ Is McVie rolling in her grave, or not?”

Why. They loved Clinton. Were apostles of wokeness and the “new morality”.

Fleetwood Mac was a great band until they added the chicks.

‘It was the event that made me dislike Fleetwood Mac.’

it made no difference to me; my only interest in FM was that at least from a distance both McVie and Nicks were mouth watering...
