Rumours (Part Two): What the Album Left BehindWe finish our Rumours deep dive by focusing on the songs that didn’t make the final tracklist — especially “Silver Springs,” the B-side that became legend.This episode explores outtakes, emotional fallout, and the version of Rumours that almost existed.

In Part One of Two from our Rumours series, we dig into the early history of the album and take a closer look at “Dreams” and “I Don’t Wanna Know” - two Stevie Nicks songs that reveal how Rumours was shaped by timing, practicality, and compromise.

Part Two will explore Gold Dust Woman, The Chain, and the songs that were left behind.

This week Randy and Anthony unbox the Bella Donna Barbie, armed with scissors, an X-Acto knife, and way too many opinions about doll hair.

What starts as a simple unboxing quickly becomes an obsessive deep dive into era accuracy, album cover details we never noticed (hello, hidden bracelet and ring!), and whether Stevie's dress should've been lavender instead of white. We battle industrial-strength plastic packaging, wrestle with plastic, printed cockatiel, discover embossed floral patterns, debate the lack of era-appropriate tambourines, and have strong feelings about those bangs.

Join us as we take this Barbie way too seriously, because our girl Stevie deserves nothing less. Plus, we dream about future Stevie Barbies (Midnight Special hair, anyone?) and share our plans for elaborate dioramas.

Final rating: 8/10. Would unbox again.
