new Dashut blog - Truth & Consequences (My Times with FM)
http://dickdash.tumblr.com/
Richard Dashut announced that he just started a blog "Truth And Consequences - My Times With Fleetwood Mac". this is his opening post: Life is both precious & short. If one is lucky enough, one crosses paths & recognizes as such, a special person in their life called a Mentor. As luck would have it, for me, I had both a mentor & a best friend all in one. This potent combination along with an intense passion for creativity, forged my future with Fleetwood Mac. My mentor’s name was Lindsey Buckingham, & to him I owe damn near everything. This blog is therefor dedicated to Lindsey Buckingham. Thank You for enabling & sending me off on what has been an incredible journey. ….r Tags: #richard dashut #fleetwood mac #my times with fleetwood mac #exclusive #mentor #vintage fleetwood mac photos #throwback #selfie #fleetwood mac selfie #rock n roll memories #fleetwood mac history #rare photos #fleetwood mac blog #fleetwood mac stories #tour stories #fleetwood mac tour stories #in the studio #stevie nicks #fleetwood mac fanclub #christine mcvie #john mcvie #mick fleetwood #rumours #fleetwood mac timeline #fleetwood mac truth #fleetwood mac crew #fleetwood mac producer #fleetwood mac engineer #lindsey buckingham 10 hours ago

will it be piling on or is it an attempt to counterbalance a lot of the stuff that's been put out there in recent years about LB (ref. Carol Harris, Ken Caillat, even Mick's book)? Calling LB his "mentor" and owing him "everything" certainly seems like it would be the latter. But it is just so unusual for anyone intimate with the band to blab about anything…. wonder how this will be received by the band or LB. Is he trying to get back in LB's good graces or something?? Curiouser and curiouser.. btw, I love his handle on tumblr: dickdash oh and Richard, if you see this, please please pleasssse choose an easier to see font color for your page. That pale grey has no contrast to the white background Last edited by bombaysaffires; 08-08-2014 at 01:55 PM.. Reason: add comment |

I love Lindsey, but sometimes I think he's given (or claims) a little too much credit on those earlier albums. I recall Keith Olsen saying one of the things he did in the early years with Buckingham Nicks was work with Lindsey to try and get him to understand how to work with other musicians and folks in the studio….not his strong suit, at least not then. I think LB is a genius, but I think he can also get too insular, too self-referential and just like Stevie benefits from having an editor (but won't see it) Lindsey benefits from having another production opinion in the studio to keep him balanced (but doesn't see it). When I read Ken's book that was what I thought he was getting at-- that Lindsey was sooo into his own opinions that it was challenging to work with him. Also, like Stevie, I think fame did go to Lindsey's head for a few years…..with everyone telling you how brilliant you are how could it not go to your head? I think he, like Stevie, got a bit hard to handle with the ego for a time. None of that bothers me as a fan, though, because I don't think any of them are perfect, and I am kind of fascinated to know what really went on behind the public facade and what it really took for these people to keep this band going all these years. Despite what they may say at times it was definitely a hot mess and totally dysfunctional. As for Stevie being sweet and nice 'back then' implying that changed, Richard has said the exact same thing. Early in his blog he was pretty honest about how fame went to all their heads and how hard it was to go from being someone's best buddy to having to make an appointment with all the entourage just to get to talk to her. He's tempered that a little over time saying that when someone gets huge and famous and all these people start wanting things from you, you do develop a shell just to protect yourself but that deep down if she trusts you she opens up and that same sweet person is there. |

also, something that keeps being brought up by a few people lately and made me think - most of LB's character seems to be publicly defined by 2 of his ex-girlfriends. both of whom keep going back and forth on how horrible vs how gorgeous / great he was or is. while i tend to believe some of both the good and the bad they say, it does not look like the most objective picture of anybody could be painted by their exes. something like recent description from Leo Sawyer (i think) of Lindsey back in the day always bailing his friends and going out of his way to pick them up and drive them wherever they needed to go cause they were too drunk to do it themselves paints a different side of his character.

It's simply amazing. Last night I asked him about L&O and why he was not a part of the Go Insane recordings. Less than ten minutes later I had his answer!! It's great to read what he writes, he lived lot of things with FM and he can talks in first person about what happened there.
We'll see lot of amazing stories. Thanks Richard!!! Regards, Mark. |

Why is everyone so cynical around here? Richard stared in one of the questions, that he and Lindsey had lost contact for 20 years, but have renewed their friendship a couple of years ago. Just maybe they are really friends, and he wants to set the record straight, without getting paid for it, unlike Carol Ann and Ken. He did say that all he wants is an investment of fans' time, not their money.

So cynical. Why would he have any reason to kiss Lindsey's ass? He is not working with him anymore.

OMG...Have you read his responses on the blog? It's so obvious he's attempting to mend fences and get into Lindsey's good graces and work with him again, which I hope he does because Richard has his creative stamp marked on most of FMs and Lindsey's best work!

Richard Dashut on Tumblr
So I am actually really excited right now. Richard Dashut (famed Fleetwood Mac producer) has started a tumblr, and is answering fan questions. He is a really nice guy, it seems, and is giving genuinely honest answers. So check it out if you want. I wasn't sure which thread to put this in, but he's answering some questions about Stevie, so idk.
