Just how the song, with a few minor lyric changes, does a beautiful job of describing their life before making it big with Fleetwood Mac. Stevie almost always talks about this, but I just think it would be good with Lindsey talking about it in context of the song

Is that in an interview or article? I'd like to see the quote!

It was something about Lindsey saying he wanted to cover it but thought Donovan would "wonder why I'm doing that one and would probably say 'What the Hell's he want to cover that one for?! [in mock angry Scottish accent]'" (paraphrasing to the best of my memory. There was definitely something about the Scottish accent)
I don't remember reading that Donovan himself didn't want him to cover it. I think it was more that Lindsey imagined he wouldn't and said so in an interview or two |

The article is on the official website, lindseybuckingham.com at
http://www.lindseybuckingham.com/pre...oc=2006-12.asp Guitar World Acoustic:Your arrangement of it is very different from the original, the most obvious change being that it's in 6/8 time instead 4/4. BUCKINGHAM: That was to suit my own petty guitar needs. It's funny-one of the guys I work with was also working with Donovan at the time I was cutting it, and he mentioned to Donovan that I was doing one of his songs. When he heard which one it was, he said [imitating an angry Scotsman], "'Try for the Sun'? What's he doing that one for?" So if he ever hears my version, he'll probably go, "He ****ed it up!" I don't know how well I succeeded in putting it together. |

Yes, when I learned that Juniper's a street in his neighborhood, I imagine bike-riding too, just like my brother and I used to ride around the block. But when I first heard the song, I didn't know what Juniper was. I thought it was a fairry land for kids who aren't with us anymore and it just didn't sound that good. But even if it is a song about happy, nostalgia and unburdened youth, I don't like it that way either. It is too sweet and sugary for me. Michele |

My 2 cents worth
I never knew what Flying Down Juniper was...I first heard the phrase on GOS on Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind...
When I saw it was a song by itself on UTS, it didn't make any sense. It had to be autobiographical. Then someone on the Ledge posted a comment from Lindsey...how it was a street near his house and they rode their bikes down that street. After reading that, the song made more sense and it reminded me of my childhood and friends long long gone. (I like the phrase better on the SGCYM song...) I like the Ledge because it educates (and entertains) me, and I love to read the differing viewpoints. Thanks guys! |
