I don't think he was embarrassed because of anything having to do with Lindsey or Lindsey "rewriting history" or anything like that. He was just very insistent that what Ken said wasn't true. On his blogs and twitter, he's almost kind of excessive in giving Lindsey praise and saying how Lindsey was the big 'brain' behind it all and that him and Ken were just helping out and developing the ideas. I think maybe it's because they were also like best friends for 20 years so that adds a personal factor to it. I follow his assistant Stacy on Twitter as well and she mostly seems to have issue with Ken, saying Ken makes it seem like he was the main engineer and all that.

I don't even know why Richard would think he's 'forgotten' when his name is literally on the albums lol, he has an official credit as producer that will be there forever.

I didn't mean that he was embarrassed because of Lindsey. After posting the picture he expressed some feeling that posting a pic of himself with all the gold records and Grammys was not the coolest thing to do for some reason. I see nothing wrong with it.

My comments about Lindsey were my opinion of how he has chosen to spin things, not Richard's.

Oh I see what you meant and I agree.

I think Lindsey just feels that most of the public knows him as "guitarist from Fleetwood Mac" so he's excessive in talking about his other role as producer/music-crafter and doesn't feel the need to mention engineers. And it probably doesn't help that most people think of Stevie when they think of FM even though she can't play an instrument much less fully produce anything, whereas he does both. Stereotypical insecure ego rock star.

Wonder what comes first....insecure ego.....or rock star.
The two seem often to go hand in hand.

Because we have touched on this a bit in this thread I wanted to share this tidbit from Liberty Devitto's interview wit NY Newsday promoting the film Hired Gun yesterday. It seems that the band and those that are close to them become estranged as success roll on. And sorry I don't mean to hijack the thread from its original topic. I love the whole Marina Del Ray personality.

Billy Joel called ‘heartless’ by bandmates in new documentary ‘Hired Gun’
http://www.newsday.com/entertainment...gun-1.13767695


Billy Joel is “heartless” for the way he dismissed band members from the early days of his career, claims the director of a new documentary about backing musicians that opens in theaters on Thursday.

“I was such a fan of his because he was such a great performer and songwriter,” said Fran Strine, director of the documentary “Hired Gun,” which opens in 320 movie houses nationwide, including theaters in Farmingdale, Holtsville, Stony Brook and Westbury, as well as Manhattan and Queens. “But when I heard of what he did to people he had worked with since they were teenagers, people who were left out in the cold, I just thought it was heartless.”

Opening the film are interviews with drummer Liberty DeVitto and guitarist Russell Javors, who talked about the shock they felt after Joel replaced them with other musicians in his band. The trauma was even more severe for DeVitto, who had been part of Joel’s band for 30 years, through major albums and tours, including “The Stranger” and “52nd Street.”

“If Billy is the father, the parent of those songs, I’m at least the uncle,” DeVitto says in the movie, adding that he was the one who told Joel that “Only the Good Die Young” should not be a reggae song. He said he told Joel, “The closest you’ve been to Jamaica is Jamaica, Long Island, when you change trains on the Long Island Rail Road.”

Joel declined to comment on the documentary’s assertions and on Strine’s characterization of his relationships with his former bandmates. Strine said Joel declined to be involved with the documentary and that all the footage of the singer used in the movie came from film archives. He did include the story about how Joel turned down working with George Martin. The Beatles producer wanted to replace Joel’s band with session musicians, but Joel wanted to keep the band together.

Though DeVitto and Javors talk about how they were surprised by what they felt was lack of loyalty to them, turnover is unusual in the Joel camp. He has used the same road crew for more than 40 years; saxophonist Mark Rivera has been in his band since 1982 and guitarist Tommy Byrnes has been by his side since 1989; and Joel’s musical director, keyboardist David Rosenthal, has been with him for 24 years. Joel was also instrumental in getting DeVitto, Javors, saxophonist Richie Cannata and the late Doug Stegmeyer, who played bass in the band for years, inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2014.

Strine said he worked on “Hired Gun” for three years, interviewing dozens of musicians hired to perform with artists ranging from Alice Cooper to Pink and Mandy Moore, in order to shine the spotlight on the supporting players. “These guys have honed their craft their entire lives,” he said. “People should show them some love.”

Strine said the stories from the former members of Joel’s band were the ones that shocked him the most during his research for the film.

However, DeVitto, who currently plays with Javors in The Lords of 52nd Street, which performs Joel classics as they were done on the original albums, seems willing to put his beef with Joel behind him.

“If I saw Billy I’d go up to him and hug him and tell him I love him,” DeVitto says in the movie. “If he called me up and said, ‘I’m sorry. Do you want to play again?’ I’d say yeah.”

I think the insecure ego is always there and then gets elevated with the rockstar status. Always a unpleasant combination and Lindsey is a really good example of it, his arrogant sounding quotes are almost always most likely a result of him feeling the need to validate himself.

Thanks Danielle for sharing with us!!! I'm glad you are posting again here. You inspired me to do the same. The haters will always hate. Sucks to be them....
I'm glad you're here.

Here's the full interview:


Dreams Unwind: Lana Del Rey in conversation with Stevie Nicks
Lana Del Rey muses with collaborator and self-proclaimed ‘witchy sister’ Stevie Nicks about the forces that shaped her anthemic new album—and her very own lust for life. Pre-order V108 here.

“It’s just time,” whispers Lana Del Rey on her end of the telephone. “Time has brought me here.”

When Del Rey returned with 'Love’ this year—the first song from her fifth album, 'Lust For Life’, out July 21—a tonal shift was immediately apparent to anyone familiar with the singer’s notoriously dark discography. Beginning with her first record, 'Born To Die’, Del Rey’s previous four releases have been rife with references to ill-fated romance, tragedy, and betrayal. This song, however, resonated with a new note: hope.

In the accompanying video, Del Rey serenades a generation of kids who are quite literally reaching for the stars, cooing lines like, “The world is yours and you can’t refuse it” and “Don’t worry baby” (the latter being a nod to the 1964 Beach Boys song) as she beams from ear to ear.

Time itself is an ever-present theme in her work, though how she interacts with it has changed on her new album. With 'Lust For Life’, she revisits sounds and visuals from her early work with a mature perspective while bridging the past and the present both personally and politically. “Coachella—Woodstock in My Mind,” a song that draws parallels between two musical gatherings set against times of conflict, is a perfect example of this. It is only fitting, then, that the inquirer on the other end of the phone line is Stevie Nicks, fairy godmother to Del Rey’s genre of enchantingly romantic pop rock, who was on her way to becoming the voice of her own generation when Woodstock took place nearly five decades ago.

As it turns out, time—and a series of seemingly unrelated events throughout the courses of their lives—is also what brought these two kindred spirits together.

STEVIE NICKS: Helloooo? Is this you?

LANA DEL REY: It’s me!

SN: How are you from your little perch in the 'H’ of the Hollywood sign?

LDR: [laughs] Oh, I’m good. I’m sitting comfortably up here. It’s a clear evening, so I can see what everyone is getting up to down in the City of Angels. Thank you for asking.

SN: I was wondering, do you think that maybe I could rent the 'W’?

LDR: You know it is so crazy that you’re asking me that because I was thinking you would actually love to move into the 'O’.

SN: Well, the reason I picked the 'W’ is so that I could have an A-frame place, with a big, high ceiling. So, now I’ve decided that if I’m going to live in the 'W’, then we’re going to be like witchy sisters, so I have taken on a new name: Marina Del Rey. But wait, it gets better! You know the little Yorkie we brought to the studio? Her name is Mana. She’s gonna be our witchy Yorkie and her name is gonna be Mana Del Rey.

LDR: [laughs] Oh my God. It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t have a little witchy guard dog.

SN: So, let us start here on your new record. But let us first touch on the fact that your first record was called 'Born To Die’. Now this [record] is 'Lust For Life’. In between that, what is it that affected you enough to go from 'Born To Die’ to 'Lust For Life’? Because 'Born To Die’ is pretty dark and 'Lust For Life’ is pretty light. If you have a lust for life, that’s a pretty strong statement.

LDR: Yeah, they’re complete opposites, and it’s funny because when I chose the title, I didn’t think about it right away. It was the title of the first song I wrote for this record. But there are so many things that have gotten me to the point that I’m at now. One of them is just time. And because I do write everything myself, I just wanted to chronicle how I was feeling honestly, in the moment, for each record. So, I had a lot of stories that I wanted to tell that I hadn’t told yet up until this point. And now, through the last four records, I got out a lot of those stories and a lot of those feelings, and for the first time, I’ve caught myself up to real time. And now, I’m at this place where I feel like I’m really present, and when I’m reading the news, I’m really reading it, whereas before I was a little bit in my own head. So, there’s definitely been a feeling of freedom and lightness being in the present moment. That brings on that lust for life feeling, when you don’t have all of those feelings about the past weighing you down. I remember an interview that you did once where you said, “Around every corner there’s an adventure waiting to happen,” and I’m kind of in that zone right now. I just feel like whatever each day brings me is something that I need and I want. It’s just time. Time has brought me here.

SN: The way that we write is like we’re writing a diary as our songs go. If I listen to all the songs from 'Bella Donna’, and then I listen to all the songs from 'Wild Heart’, all the songs from 'Rock A Little’, and then I get to 'The Other Side Of The Mirror’…I was just thinking about this one song called 'Doing the Best I Can (Escape from Berlin).’ It goes [begins to sing] “It’s all right, baby, I’m doing the best that I can.” I named it that because of this idea of escape. Something horrible was going on in Berlin, and I was also finding my way. I was in a drug-filled fog at that point, fighting for survival. I look back on it and go, You were really trying to survive in 1989. And then I actually went to rehab in 1994 to get off that horrible tranquilizer, Klonopin—from there, I start watching my life come back around, starting with a record I did called 'Sweet Angel’, which was about the aftermath of rehab and coming back into the real world. And from then on, my path started to go up. And if I had not written all those songs, even reading all my journals from that time, they wouldn’t have really told the story, but the songs really told me the story of how bad that whole thing was. And I could watch, through the songs, my life start to come back to me. I think that we put out this running commentary on not just what’s going on in our lives, but what’s going on in the world at the same time. It’s a parallel thing. So, I see you doing the same things I did.

LDR: It’s a delicate balance because you’re chronicling your own story and then you’re also reflecting back what you see. It can take work not to let your world get too small, so that you’re still in both worlds. You’ve got your world with your own inner dialogue and your own narrative and the way that you write, and then there’s everything else. It’s funny, it’s been a minute since I’ve gone through my records, but I did do it recently and I hear so much of my own self and my own stories, but I don’t get as much of the outside world as I thought [I would]. This record is really different. When there were the women’s marches, I was writing about that. There was enough space in my mind to really absorb everything. I think I was very much in the mix of culture in California over the past five years, but it feels good to feel more connected to a wider world.

SN: I think we’re all much more connected with what’s going on right now.

LDR: That’s true. Regardless of where someone is at personally, the current landscape jolts you into being present, if you’re not crazy. If you’re a normal person, you’re suddenly aware and watching everything.

SN: And you’re getting up every day and waiting to find out what new thing has happened. I have never been that way before, ever, until the last two and a half years.

LDR: It’s a very different time for everybody. Because there is something new every day that you read and you’re like, Oh my God, is that real?

SN: My mom used to always say to me, “You’re on a mission here. People out there who are hurting or are sad or have something horrible going on in their lives, when they walk into your house of love or your house of music, you are going to take them on your own little adventure that’s going to pull them out of their life for a minute. And hopefully, when they leave you, they’re going to take a little bit of you with them and they’re going to feel better the next day.”

LDR: I love that.

SN: I think as songwriters right now, there’s a lot of songs I’d like to write that wouldn’t be very nice songs, but I’m not going to do it because we’re not going to help anybody by doing that. Then we’re just going to be in with the masses and we’re not going to be above the fray. Write your songs, but remember that we’re the ones that are here to lighten, to lighten life, to light the lanterns and the little fairy lights, and try to keep people going. We have to have hope. We have to believe that this will all end up okay and that we’ll all end up okay. Because we don’t do it, then who the hell is gonna do it?

LDR: You’re right, there’s no other way. As far as I’m concerned, there’s really not another way to sensibly think about it. I was never a huge self-editor—I wrote songs and then I felt like, Okay, well that’s that. And now, I’ve found in the last two years that I’ve really been editing some of the language of some of the songs in light of the political landscape, [because] I don’t want to be a part of anything that adds to that negativity.

SN: And your record, do you have favorite songs? Do you have ones that have your biggest messages or ones that you think are the most helpful to all the people that love your music? All the old women like me and the little girls who are listening?

LDR: I knew that the first song I wanted to put out was 'Love’ because of everything you and I have been talking about so far. It’s just the age-old thing: love is all there is. And I really was feeling that way. I made a lot of records for myself, chronicling my own stories, and I’ve played so many shows now, I’ve seen all the same kind of kids and grown-ups coming to the shows, and I really wanted to make a record for them. And then, I’ve been friends with Abel [Tesfaye] from The Weeknd for a long time, and I knew I wanted to put the title track, 'Lust For Life’, out second because we have so many mutual fans and I knew they would love it. And then 'Coachella—Woodstock in My Mind’ I wrote on my way home from Coachella when things were getting hostile between North Korea and U.S., and all those failed missile launches, which happened the day after the first night of the festival. I feel lucky to be able to speak my mind through music right in the present moment. I think one of my favorite tracks on the record is called 'Yosemite.’ The chorus is [begins to sing] “We did it for me, we did it for free, I did it for you, you did it for me, we did it for the right reasons.”

SN: I love it.

LDR: And that’s been the theme of my record: being in touch with what it takes to do things for the right reasons. All the actions that you need to take beyond just all the words and all the decisions I knew I wanted to make this year. And that song is special because it’s really a song about surrounding yourself with people who put their art and love first, who did it for the right reasons, not just the money. And I have a couple of songs like 'God Bless America,’ and another song called 'When the World Was At War We Just Kept Dancing,’ which is about what we’ve been talking about: trying to stay positive and just believing that things are going to be okay. And if it feels like they’re not going to be okay, we’ll try to make them okay individually and then together.

SN: I have not heard all these songs.

LDR: I want to play them for you the next time I see you! And I’m so proud of the song that we did, 'Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems.’ I just love your performance on it. The people reading probably don’t know that you know my longtime producer Rick Nowels from high school, basically.

SN: I’ve known your producer since he was 13 years old.

LDR: He loves you so much, you know.

SN: I do. It’s because we’ve been through so much together. My friend Robin [Anderson] died of leukemia and her brother got this terrible brain tumor, so Rick, Lindsey [Buckingham], and I are the survivors of those five people. And then, Rick went on to be this totally famous producer and songwriter. He started with me in 1985 on 'Rock A Little,’ when Jimmy Iovine dumped me and the record into Rick’s lap and said “Goodbye, good luck.”

LDR: Which is so full circle because he ended up being the head of Interscope, which I’m signed to. There are so many full circle moments.

SN: I think all of these little things, in a really fairy tale way, lead me to you and lead you to me in a strange witchy way. It’s set up, like all of these things that happened with my friend Robin, and her brother, and Rick, and everyone moving down here, me being Jimmy Iovine’s girlfriend from 1980 to 1984, then him giving the record and me to Rick, basically saying “Here, take them both and go.” All of this led to me meeting you and singing on your record. The butterfly’s wings flap in Africa and something is achieved by that butterfly across the world. That’s this story started, I think.

LDR: I don’t know if you said it in the same interview I mentioned earlier, but at some point you said that sometimes you wonder, Does anyone even notice? Sometimes you wonder when you put something out, Does anyone even notice? But it all matters. Every little thing that each person does in their individual life, even when it feels like it’s not a big decisions or not a big move, matters. Just being open to beautiful things happening creates them.

SN: That sentence was about how sometimes over the last 10 years I would say, “Does anybody really notice that I’m a really good singer now? How much better my voice is than it was 20 years ago?” You have a beautiful voice and I’ve already learned things to add to how I sing from you. Working on your song has changed me forever because I’ve learned from you. We are witchy sisters and that’s it. That’s where 'Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems’ comes from, because we are trying to ride above all the problems and have hope in everything else, but it’s still a world filled with problems no matter how hard we try to change it.

LDR: That’s what the song is about. It was such a special moment. It just goes back to my favorite song on the record, 'Yosemite,’ and doing it for the right reasons. Here we were in the studio, and when Rick and I were talking about who the other singers should be on the record, you were the only person we could both think of because of your intention and [how] that always comes through in all the music. That really closed the door on the record in the right way. It was the perfect last moment, so thank you for that.

SN: Well, I am so happy that the butterfly wings flapped at the perfect time and it made it happen because I think that, in our lives to come, we’ll be able to work on many more songs together, because you know I don’t just want to sing with anybody. I just want to sing with the people that I think can make me better and make something that’s better than both of us singing by ourselves. That’s the only reason for solo artists to sing together.

LDR: Amen to that.

SN: You know, I think I told you this, but as I travel around the country [touring], I do get to sit down in between [shows] with my friends and hold their hands and laugh about the past, and my one friend that I wrote my first song about—the 'I’ve Loved and I’ve Lost’ song I told you about—his name is Steve. I always dedicate the song to him because I was so crazy about him when I was 15 and a half; my parents gave me this guitar and I wrote this little song about him. And I can honestly say that I was as in love with him as I have ever been in love with anybody.

LDR: That’s such a beautiful thing to say. I feel the same way. Obviously when you’re at different stages in your life, things hit you harder, or just in different ways, but the way I love has always been the same. I don’t know if that’s just wholeheartedly or maybe you’re only attracted to a certain kind of person, so when that type of person comes around, you really feel it, but when these 15- and 16-year-olds are going through heart break, I really feel for them, because it’s real.

SN: It’s totally real. And what I was going to say to is that it’s funny, because this guy knows it, and I know it, and his wife knows it, and it’s fine because it doesn’t mean anything except that real love never dies.

LDR: It’s making me smile hearing you say that. Because that’s what makes life beautiful. Just having that open heart and letting it be exciting in the moment, just having that energy between two people.

SN: Every time I see this guy he goes “You need to come and visit us because we don’t have a lot of time. We’re both in our 60s, and time doesn’t go on forever.” So I’m living in the moment. I just jump on a plane and I go and do this, and I go and do this, and I come back and I do this. And I’m like, Why don’t I get a day off? But the thing is, if you stop, you stop.

LDR: I know. It’s such a big decision when you decide to become an artist because once you’re in it, you’re in it. And then there is a certain level of momentum that you want to keep.

SN: It’s a very big commitment. You know, Lana, my dad used to always say about me, “She’s never going to get married.” And I’d look at him—I was in my 30s—and I’d go like, “Why would you say that, Dad?” And he’d go, “What you do is too important to you. And you are never going to be the kind of girl to have somebody say 'You can’t,’ or 'You’re not going to go back on tour, are you?’”

LDR: Do you think that the fact that he said that switched something in you and made you think, I’m not going to get married?

SN: I think that my dad knew me really well. And for me as an artist, I was always going to want to follow my muse. And that muse was writing songs and going on tour. And so for me, I tended to say, “Well, I’m not going to be able to [get married]. I will have love affairs and I’ll meet many great men in my life, but I probably won’t commit to a relationship.” Look at me. I’m 68 years old and I just finished 48 shows—two-and-a-half-hour shows—which were preceded by 220 three-hour Fleetwood Mac shows. What kind of relationship could somebody like me have?

LDR: You know what, though? There’s billions of people in the world, but there are a handful of people that have that special, strong relationship with their own muse. For some people, it’s the biggest part of their life and the biggest relationship: following that energy, that muse, and the serendipitous twists and turns of life. The amazing thing, too—and not just with romantic relationships—is when you find other people who know exactly what that life looks like, you know? That it’s just not going to be straight and narrow. It’s such a blessing when you run into people who don’t color within the lines, that do the same things you do.

SN: I want to add, having said all that, I would never believe that it is not possible that coming right around the corner is the man of my dreams, at 68 years old. It’s possible, and I accept the possibility of that completely.

LDR: A hundred percent. And you know, life is short, but life is long, too. And there are so many things for everybody that have yet to come.

SN: Because after everything we’ve talked about, if we can honestly say that love never dies, if my heart can still flutter when I see my boyfriend from when I was 15 and a half, I cannot honestly say that there is no chance for real love in my life somewhere in the next 15 or 20 years. Because I believe that there’s always that possibility. I never want people to think that I’m some cold woman who thinks that love may have existed all those years ago when I was younger, but doesn’t exist in my dreams now, because it does exist in my dreams now. But I’m also really good not having it because I’m not lonely, I’m not bored. I have so much to do that I can hardly get three hours of sleep.

LDR: You have a beautiful relationship with yourself.

SN: I do. And I never get tired of it. I know people who are bored stiff, and that’ll never be me. I could never be bored in this world. Because of what we do, whether you have a relationship or don’t have a relationship, you balance it. I have to say that there have a been a few men in my life that have liked what I do, and have liked my friends, and have liked the fact that I like to stay up late and sit at the piano and light the candles, and were happy to lay on the couch with a book while I was doing that. They were few, but they were there, they did exist. And sometimes, I thought that the great loves of your life are the ones that just make you crazy, and say they’re coming to your house and don’t show up, and the phone doesn’t ring, and you just want to kill yourself. And then there are the ones who actually just dig what you do and who you are, and you put them in the second category of great loves. And then the nutcases of your life are the ones that were in the first category of your great loves, but they’re the ones you could never have lived with!

LDR: Absolutely. There are two different types of lovers. There are the crazy ones and then there are the ones who are really there.

SN: Exactly. And I still know all of my loves—all of them. I’m like Catherine Deneuve in The Hunger with all the vampire boyfriends.

LDR: [laughs] I can’t picture you getting into a relationship with someone who, on some level, doesn’t have an extremely strong connection to you or a strong commonality that wouldn’t span decades or eras. I’m still dear friends with my first boyfriend, and we didn’t have it all in the moment, but he was the world’s nicest guy and he’s still in my life. And that’s been the same with a lot of my boyfriends. I feel like, for me, it wouldn’t make sense to get involved with someone who I didn’t think could be either some type of really close confidant or someone who just really got me on some level.

SN: I think you’ll find, as years go by, that some of those men will matter to your more down the line, because they’re the ones who really seem to know you. So, it’s good. Lana Del Rey, I think we’ve filled up their entire magazine by now.

LDR: You’re amazing and I can’t wait to see you. Maybe it’ll be when you move into the 'W’.

SN: That’s definitely going to happen soon, like next week.

LDR: That’s the dream.

SN: That is our dream and we make dreams come true, so it’s going to happen. I can’t wait to see you, too. I hope when people read this interview they know that kindred spirits find each other along the way and that love never dies.

The Singles
Del Rey hasn't unveiled her full album track list yet, but here are the songs we know will appear on the record so far.

"Lust for Life"
The singer debuted the title track of her record, featuring The Weeknd, in April on BBC One. A month later, she released the accompanying visuals, showcasing her and the R&B singer performing atop the Hollywood sign.

"Love"
Though it's not the title track, this was the first single Del Rey released from Lust for Life. She premiered the single in February, and a dreamy music video came shortly after.

"Coachella—Woodstock on My Mind"
After attending Coachella and hearing the news of North Korea testing missiles, Del Rey felt inspired and penned a melody in the woods on the way home from the festival, which she immediately shared on Instagram. "I just wanted to share this in hopes that one individual's hope and prayer for peace might contribute to the possibility of it in the long run," she explained in the caption. A month later, she shared the fully-produced track.

"Cherry"
This track hasn't been released as a single yet, but Del Rey gave fans a taste when she performed it at the KROQ Weenie Roast Y Fiesta in May.

"Summer Bummer"
This marks one of two songs featuring A$AP Rocky on Del Rey's upcoming record. On "Summer Bummer," produced by Boi-1da, the rapper is also accompanied by Playboi Carti on the track.

"Groupie Love"
On this A$AP collab, Del Rey croons about a relationship that's like a romance between an artist and a fan. The rapper originally recorded a different verse for this song, but a few months after laying down his verse, he came back into the studio and changed it.

The Stevie Nicks Collab
Perhaps the most anticipated track on the album is Del Rey's collaboration with Stevie Nicks, "Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems."

"I kind of thought I had finished the record a couple of times, and then one of those times I really felt like I wanted a woman on the record," she said of the song. She was amazing. She was everything you hope she’s gonna be. She’s so contemporary, and she knows all the new music that’s out weekly. She loved the track and she added so much to it."

The Trailer
When Del Rey officially announced her new album, she included a whimsical trailer to explain the upcoming record and her intentions behind it.
"When I'm in the middle of making a record, especially now when the world is in the middle of such a tumultuous period, I find I really need to take the space for myself, far away from real life to consider what my contribution to the world should be in these dark times," she narrates in one part of the clip.
