Wink Lindsey Buckingham: TV Star

Just found this out on Facebook. Lindsey will make an appearance on the new Showtime show called Roadies, which is created by....Cameron Crowe. It looks pretty good! Plus, LB mentions The Monkees! My musical worlds are colliding!! LOL

He is in the clip titled One Crew.

Whoa! Thanks.

Well, Lindsey would certainly know John Stewart's Daydream Believer, if nothing else of the Monkees.

Oh, that's pretty funny. The "excitement" in his voice.

[From a New York Times article on Roadies]

With ‘Roadies,’ Cameron Crowe Takes His Good Mood to TV
By LORNE MANLY JUNE 17, 2016 New York Times

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/19/ar...o-tv.html?_r=0

[excerpt]

Waiting for a concert to begin, the writer and director J. J. Abrams, an executive producer on “Roadies,” spotted a woman perched on the rigging who vanished as soon as the band appeared. His curiosity piqued, he called Mr. Crowe: Wouldn’t her story, and that of the rest of the behind-the-scenes crew, be fascinating to tell?

Mr. Crowe was intrigued. A subsequent backstage visit at a Fleetwood Mac concert, where he glimpsed a family atmosphere among the crew, cemented the show’s tone in his imagination.

“I always knew that the roadies were more pure music geeks than crews on movies are movie geeks,” he added. “And I wanted to honor that.”

* * *

Though Mr. Crowe invented a 16-page history of the headlining Staton-House Band, viewers never hear the group’s songs. Live music will come from the “real” acts performing before them, which will be a constantly changing group, Mr. Crowe said.

“Like the drummer joke in ‘Spinal Tap,’ our band can’t hold on to an opening act,” Mr. Crowe said.

That comedic conceit allows “Roadies” to bring in an eclectic list of singers and bands including the Head and the Heart, Lindsey Buckingham, Halsey and Lucius.

[Excerpt from Sioux City Journal June 18, 2016]

http://siouxcityjournal.com/entertai...b5bff4712.html

I'm with the band: 'Roadies' looks behind the scenes at concerts
BRUCE R. MILLER bmiller@siouxcityjournal.com

To differentiate between the two tour managers, Wilson spoke with regulars with Neil Young and Fleetwood Mac. He discovered they’re like “two parents. The dad is the fun guy and the mom tells the kids to do the homework.”

I read in TV Guide that one of the tech advisors worked for Fleetwood Mac. I'll have to watch the credits to see who it is.

[From a Hollywood Reporter Review]

2:10 PM PDT 6/20/2016 by Tim Goodman

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/rev...-review-904512

When the show is about music — Crowe's conceit is that the opening bands keep falling off the tour, which allows him to highlight The Head and the Heart, Reignwolf and Lindsey Buckingham — as openers, it clicks even though these acts might not be for everyone (which is a risk that music series face). Same when the roadies play a "song of the day" — which runs from Frightened Rabbit to Gary Clark Jr.

hopefully we will hear him sing some great but not widely known solo songs.

The Gazette Terry Terrones June 21, 2016 Updated: June 22, 2016 at 12:18 pm

http://gazette.com/showtimes-cameron...rticle/1578638

But what ties everything together in "Roadies" is music. This series always comes back to that. Since The Staton-House Band doesn't make any of their own, the show relies on real music from actual artists. Each episode has a "song of the day," putting a spotlight on up and coming acts. The backing soundtrack is loaded and features everything from Pearl Jam to Bob Dylan. And the series even has guests musicians. In the three episodes I watched, Lindsey Buckingham, Reignwolf and The Head and the Heart were all featured. They didn't just have a quick cameo; each group had short segments that highlighted their music.

Deadline Hollywood by Dominic Patten June 22, 2016 2:47pm

http://deadline.com/2016/06/roadies-...eo-1201776228/


“This tour is a like a Fellini film crossed with an episode of The Monkees,” Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham tells Wilson’s tour manager character at one point in a Roadies cameo. No disrespect to Buckingham, who really classes the joint up for the brief time he is on the Showtime series, but that remark about the great Italian filmmaker and the made-for-TV band is what Roadies would like to be – nowhere near the mess it is.

MTV by INKOO KANG 6/23/2016

http://www.mtv.com/news/2897112/schl...adies-preview/

Pop princess Taylor Swift is treated like she personally ordered the trampling of music by spectacle, as if visual appeal had nothing to do with the popularity of Elvis Presley, Mick Jagger, and David Bowie. Meanwhile, Lindsey Buckingham — no stranger to publicity photos that exploited his very famous romance with Stevie Nicks — is verbally fellated at every turn as a master songwriter and a brilliant brand monetizer during his guest appearance in the third episode.
