^ I love it!
Quote:
I laughed when he said that people might die if GOS was a single, because I don't really like "rock" music, but I liked GOS. I think the music fits beautifully with the words and love the dichotomy of fury and flowers. Hey, Fury and Flowers symbolize Fleetwood Mac, in a sense. So, where was I when Fleetwood Mac took 7 of Lindsey's GOS songs and had "big hits" with them? Honestly, I think I drink sometimes, because I lose time. Lost weekends. Lost years.

Buckingham on tour with new album, plans to reunite with Fleetwood Mac
Thursday, September 11, 2008
Phase 2 of the post-Fleetwood Mac Lindsey Buckingham is nearly complete. All that remains is a concert tour, which includes a show at Tahoe Saturday, Sept. 12, in support of his new album, “Gift of Screws.” Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie plan to reunite in January to make a new studio album, then go out on a tour. A fifth member, Christine McVie, does not plan to come back. Buckingham sounds so content now, however, that it’s baffling that he wants to rejuvenate the band. Fleetwood Mac comebacks thwarted his previous attempts to record on his own over a 14-year period. In that time, Buckingham remarried and had three children, finally setting aside time for himself. “I chose to put a boundary around a three-year period and say to the band: ‘I want to make two albums and I want to tour behind them. Then, when we’re done, we can talk about what we want to do,’ ” Buckingham said in a conference call with music reporters. “That made the logistical side about it clear and easy to do. The old adage is, ‘Children are deaf to the artist,’ but I have found that to be just the opposite. It feels to me like I’m in the most creative period of my life right now.” “Gift of Screws,” set for release Sept. 16, is a rock ’n’ roll answer to Buckingham’s acoustic “Under the Skin.” “I wasn’t necessarily intending to make it so much more rock,” Buckingham said. “I was thinking it might be a step or two up from ‘Under the Skin’ had been, but it seemed to go in a certain direction on its own. That’s one thing you learn: You follow the work and let it lead you.” The man who wrote “Go Your Own Way,” took that philosophy to heart when in 1979 he produced “Tusk,” Fleetwood Mac’s follow up to “Rumours,” by far the band’s top-selling album. Buckingham’s proclivity for experimentation and creativeness, often during times of Fleetwood Mac’s turmoil and drama, was not always appreciated. “I realized not everyone was in a band for the same set of reasons,” Buckingham said. “The years after ‘Tusk’ were difficult knowing where to go as a producer and a writer for myself — increasing dysfunction of the band as they were conducting their life personally. It led to me just taking off for my individuality and my sanity. ‘Tusk’ has always been my favorite album. That was the album that defined how I still try to think today. The irony is many members of the band in retrospect look at that as their favorite album as well.” “Gift of Screws” celebrates Buckingham’s fingerstyle guitar prowess. Buckingham, who was first inspired by music when his brother bought Elvis Presley’s “Heartbreak Hotel,” is a self-taught guitar and bluegrass banjo player who was influenced by folk from the early ’60s, especially the Kingston Trio. His singing style and experience as a producer further developed a unique sound. “I enjoy taking anything and trying to convolute it beyond any sense of reality in one form or another,” he said. “I’ve never been one who’s been afraid to wear the artifice on the sleeve. Let’s have some fun. Let’s use the tools, and let the people know you’re using them.” Buckingham said his public breakup with Nicks during the production of “Rumours” limited his creativity. “Having to see her every day and do the right thing for her as a producer and not having the space for any closure, it was like someone picking at a wound all the time,” he said. “A way we dealt with it was to close off whole areas of your emotional landscape. I continued to work but the rest of my life was very narrow.” “Getting a family … was almost like a big iceberg breaking up and melting. It just gave me a whole other basis for being creative and it gave me a support system to make decisions that I didn’t feel quite as enabled to make in years past.” The stir Sheryl Crow created earlier this year when she announced that she would be replacing Christine McVie in Fleetwood Mac brought Buckingham and Nicks together for serious and productive discussions about the future of the group. Band members considered bringing Crow into Fleetwood Mac but never made an offer, Buckingham said. Buckingham said reuniting with Fleetwood Mac is like going home. “It’s comfortable, like seeing your parents, because you know each other so well,” he said. “It doesn’t mean you don’t have issues that can crop up. The agenda is to avoid things we’ve blown out of proportion in the past and to remind ourselves that we do love each other and are great friends.” http://www.tahoedailytribune.com/art...rentprofile=-1 |

They DO love each other

Stevie has also likened Lindsey to her parents in the past. She says that she's known him so long that the minute you hear that voice on the phone it makes you cry or something. That there's a comfort there, which I thought was sweet because Lindsey and Stevie don't really talk about the moments when they find comfort in each other. We only hear of the other times.
But basically, the thing is that they have known each other for 40 years and they still have a relationship. It may be a lot of things, but it really isn't a tenuous bond at all. It's going to persevere, fights and all. Michele |

You can see more of the picture in that link you provided.
http://www.tahoedailytribune.com/art...rentprofile=-1 See how big his hands are? We talked about this in the context of his forehead. Seeing his hands too and how out of proportion they are it just establishes that this picture is distorted like a fun house mirror. He is wearing the artifice on his sleeve, as discussed in the article. Michele |

London Mirror
http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv-entertain...5875-20733045/ Album review: Lindsey Buckingham - Gift Of Screws 4/5 11/09/2008 The major powerhouse and songwriter behind Fleetwood Mac’s golden era, Buckingham’s knack for blending experimentation and killer hooks finds sharp focus on this, his fifth solo album. With Mac stalwarts Mick Fleetwood and John McVie providing the rhythmic foundation, Buckingham unleashes incendiary guitar licks aplenty, Clash meets Beach Boys-style rocking fun (Underground), and mixes a feel for exotic topicality (Time Precious Time) with seasoned sensitivity and political commitment (Treason). |

Buckingham's solo work is top priority
The PE.com By VANESSA FRANKO The Press-Enterprise Lindsey Buckingham described his career as "fraught with landmines." From the personal struggles behind the scenes as the guitarist was making classic albums "Rumours" and "Tusk" with Fleetwood Mac and the related aftermath to trying to take off from the band and working on his solo career, there have been pitfalls along the way. In recent years, however, the landscape hasn't been as treacherous. "The subtext of all the work that has gone on in the last three years in a way has been much easier. It's been a period where the personal side of my life has been greatly enriched," Buckingham said in a phone interview, talking about his marriage and children. He also set aside time to put his solo work ahead of Fleetwood Mac, not allowing those songs he was writing as solo material to be picked up by the band, as they had in the past. "I chose to put a boundary around a three-year period and say to the band, 'I really want to make two albums, I have a very specific goal, I want to tour behind both of them. And then when we're done with that, we can talk about what we want to do,'" he said. Buckingham is making good on his end of the promise. He just released the album "Gift of Screws" and will perform at UCLA's Royce Hall on Sunday and at the Grove of Anaheim on Sept. 19. He gained fame with Fleetwood Mac, one of the biggest selling acts of all time, and which was inducted to the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. He recorded his first solo album, "Law and Order," in 1981 and also recorded "Holiday Road," the song from "National Lampoon's Vacation." Buckingham's last solo record, 2003's "Under the Skin," was a way for him to take his finger-picking guitar style and develop it as a bare-bones idea, adding production values. "It was certainly more of a boutique kind of thing," Buckingham said. But "Gift of Screws" is filled with more rock tracks. He said it wasn't his original intention, but where the music went. "You follow the work and let it lead you. As soon as I got some of my mates from the road, some of my road band, down into the studio and we started cutting, everything just wanted to rock," he said. He said that in making the album, he wasn't facing the challenges he usually did. Creatively, his personal life fueled the record. "We used to use that old adage, 'Children are death to the artist,' but I've found that to be just the opposite. It feels to me that I'm in the most creative time of my life right now," Buckingham said. |
