Christy -
Please Please Please if you can send to Nancy (www.buckinghamnicks.net) or Tracy (www.burnish.net) or some other site so they can put it up on their sites!!!!! THANKSSSS!!!!! :]

[wondergirl9847]

I'd be happy to send someone a copy to put on their site! It will probably be the same old, same old questions. Here you go:

CNN: "So, Rumours was a terrific album....sold millions of copies."

LB: "Yep."

CNN: "You are on tour with Fleetwood Mac now, correct?"

LB: "Well, not quite yet, the tour starts this Satur...."

CNN: "Right. You'll be singing lots of hits from Rumours?"

LB: "Yes, we'll be singing some, but we'll also be singing music from our new album, Say You...."

CNN: "Stevie Nicks is your former lover?"

LB: "Well, yes, we have a good friendship now."

CNN: "That's all the time we have, thank you LindsAy Buckingham."

:rolleyes:

[Les]

LOL! You've got it down, Christy.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Wow thanks for letting us know..im sure it will be nothing new...but they just mentioned "Also this half hour, we'll be talking to Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac."

So i havent missed it yet lol

Chris

[wondergirl9847]

[FONT=Georgia]Did I miss it?! That bearded guy was just talking to the Pachachi (?) guy. It's CNN, but it doesn't say Headline News.

Am I on the right CNN?!?[

DANG!!! I WAS on the wrong channel!! Did I miss it?! Was he already on?!!??! ACK!!!!!!! LOL/FONT]

[estranged4life]

on the 30 minute CNN "Headline News" Christy...

Linds' is up next after the commercial break (I am taping it, Sur-prise Sur-prise!!!)

[HomerMcvie]

Hilarious. They're showing footage of Christine!
Well, if you wanna fill the seats, you gotta show the queen! :]

[HomerMcvie]

Man, did he have on a lot of makeup, or has he been tanning bedding?

[wondergirl9847]

Next time, tell a sistah that CNN Headline News is it's own channel!! LOL

He did NOT just say "the reconvening of these people..."???

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

He looks SCRUMPTIOUS!!

Just read above for the actual interview. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[estranged4life]

Man, did he have on a lot of makeup, or has he been tanning bedding?

has been to the tanning bed more often than not :laugh:

[sodascouts]

ARRRGHHHH!!!!!!

I'm actually glad that my VCR messed up and didn't record it.

Lindsey began with the "reconvening of these people" statement and it all went downhill from there. It wasn't Lindsey's repetitiveness that ticked me off, it was comments like these from the interviewers:

Interviewer guy: "You know, when I go see you, I want to hear the classics like I remember them. I know there is the temptation to change those up.... [inane blabbering about interviewer's high school and 8-tracks of Rumours] or do you realize people want to hear the songs they remember?"

Blondie: "Rumours is the one I remember."

I WANT set list changes! BITE ME, losers! I better not see them in Atlanta.

P.S. Lindsey and Stevie looked TERRIFIC and I'm pleased Lindsey notices all the young people in the audience.

[wondergirl9847]

I was screaming at the TV, DANCE FOOTAGE?!?!? WTH?!?! LOL

Also, he noticed that there were lots of twenty-somethings in their audience during this tour!!

YAY!!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Yes looks like tanning bed to me lol..or maybe he took a vacation in Hawaii or something while on break...

And yes he surely did say the "Reconvening" thing...lol...nothing new, just a little promo for the tour/DVD release...I enjoyed the reporter listing the songs and saying "Come" I dunno why , was kinda funny

Chris

[estranged4life]

Next time, tell a sistah that CNN Headline News is it's own channel!! LOL

He did NOT just say "the reconvening of these people..."???

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

He looks SCRUMPTIOUS!!

Just read above for the actual interview. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

he is stuck on the word "reconvening" :nod:

[HomerMcvie]

CNN is not Headline News. HN is a different CNN McNews channel.
But, watch carefully this afternoon, as they usually repeat these interviews every hour or two (today). ALTHOUGH (I watch alot of Headline News), for those who missed it, they often reshow their entertainment interviews during the following weekend.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Lol he's not gonna give up that leather jacket is he? It's turning into one of those things, it's Lindsey "black dress." almost...

Chris

[wondergirl9847]

I giggled when that dude said Come too. We are so 12 years old. :laugh:

I wanted to STRANGLE that "interviewer". UGH!! I TOLD you what they would say, before they said it, did I not? Lindsey is tired of hearing it too, you can tell by his face.

If you wanna hear the songs as they were on Rumours...GO LISTEN TO THE DAMN ALBUM!!! :mad: Stupid a$$.

[dissention]

Argh. Couldn't they have shown clips from the Boston show?! WTF?!

And I love how both the interviewer and Lindsey said the new CD has a good mix of old and new. Umm, Linds? It only has ONE new song and that's "Come," which the interviewer pronounced as "Com." Ugh.

[dissention]

[B][COLOR=Blue][SIZE=3][FONT=Georgia]I giggled when that dude said Come too. We are so 12 years old. :laugh:

"Com." :laugh:

[ShangriLaTroubl]

" which the interviewer pronounced as "Com." Ugh.


I noticed that too..lol..loser

Chris

[sodascouts]

has been to the tanning bed more often than not :laugh:

He did look a little over-tanned. I hope he doesn't become Fleetwood Mac's version of Ricardo Montalban. Otherwise, great, though.

[estranged4life]

care about the interviewer and what he listened to back in high school, He sure seemed to not know much about the SYW album, But showing footage with Christine was a classic :laugh:

[Merf]

Headline News repeats their news every half hour so perhaps it will be on at the end of the 1:00 half hour too.... I am, watching it right now....

[ShangriLaTroubl]

But showing footage with Christine was a classic :laugh:


Yes now we will have ppl at the shows saying "Where's Christine? When they talked about the tour on CNN they showed Christine, I figured she'd be here." --then WE will have to politely inform them, and rehash our speeches about Christine's retiring, and then let them know she has a new solo album coming....oh God it never stops

act like a total FM newbie, then they will ignore ya and go pester/bother someone else about Christine's whereabouts and "no-show" for the tour :laugh:

[Cammie]

:xoxo: Where is Lindsey!!!! :confused:The Mac??? :confused:
What CNN station was it on in PA??? :shrug:
Oh. I missed it all!!! :mad: :eek: (pouts!!!) Sky :mad:

[ShangriLaTroubl]

It was on the channel CNN HEADLINE news..different from the regular CNN...you may still be able to see it..someone mentioned they re-run these Entertainment interviews throughout the day..and you didn't miss much anyway

Chris

[ShangriLaTroubl]

act like a total FM newbie, then they will ignore ya and go pester/bother someone else about Christine's whereabouts and "no-show" for the tour :laugh:


Haha..good idea..although I'm one of those people who will be hoarse BEFORE the show starts, because I'm addicted to informing the casual fans at shows all about everything that's going on with Fleetwood Mac...lol...and I love to let them know that "NO they wont be doing leather and lace, no peter green wont be here, no stevie will not be wearing the white winged dove outfit (someone actually asked me about that), NO Christine didnt quit because Lindsey and Stevies fighting about their still current love affair." lol God I could go on forever..and yet I should do like you say...but I have to inform everyone

Chris

[Cammie]

:xoxo: THANKS CHRIS!!! Could one of ya'all show
a tanned up Lindsey? I should have been on 41...
not the CNN on 31!!!(Pulls her hair out!) :mad:Sky:(

[wondergirl9847]

Yeah, he looked pretty dark, but he DOES live in sunny California, and loves to swim in his pool. I can't see him going to a tanning salon. :laugh:

[Merf]

Yeah I just don't see LB doing that. It's been pretty hot in Southern California this past week I'm sure he's been playing in the pool with his youngin's. :D

[sodascouts]

Yeah I just don't see LB doing that. It's been pretty hot in Southern California this past week I'm sure he's been playing in the pool with his youngin's. :D

He's so evenly and deeply tanned, though... well, perhaps he just spends a great deal of time laying out in the sun in a speedo, making his hot body even more beautiful. ;)

[Mari]

I'd be happy to send someone a copy to put on their site! It will probably be the same old, same old questions. Here you go:

[Johnny Stew]

I couldn't have watched it even if I knew about it in time.
Our cable company... the lovely Comcast... interrupts CNN Headline News right at the time they'd be doing their Entertainment News segment, in order to bring us that must-see broadcast, Comcast News.

Or sometimes we get those little health segments with the ancient mother of Comcast CEO, Brian Roberts.
I mean, seriously, the woman is so old, her phone number is 3. ;)

Now, don't let Dissention and me rub off on you too much. :]

[sparky]

Play dumb. Just say "I can't wait till Grace Slick comes on."

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Wonder what he was doing in NYC??


Chris

[Cammie]

:] Lindsey Looked GREAT!!!:]That little bit of
tan on his very handsome face is adorable!!! :xoxo:
Happy to see the black leather jacket revived!!! :D
Why is he in NYC??? :confused: Sure hope he is swimming
and taking care of himself! Wasn't that bad!:oSky:)

[sparky]

It only has ONE new song and that's "Come," which the interviewer pronounced as "Com." Ugh.

They probably are afraid to say "Come", with the Gestapo looking over everyone's shoulder on TV and on Radio.

[Cammie]

:shrug: Sorry Chris! I asked your question! :eek: I didn't
see your post first!;) Wonder why he's there!:confused:Sky:)

The Research Pitch: Between 18 And 34 Reasons To Buy MTV
By Paul J. Gough
Staff Writer
Wednesday, May 05, 2004

At its upfront presentation tonight, MTV Networks is expected to reveal new research showing that it's the prime beneficiary of the falling numbers of adults 18-34 at most of the broadcast networks.

MTV Networks saw its 18-34 delivery jump 12 percent in the fourth quarter of last year compared to the same period a year earlier--the highest of only two networks that had double-digit gains in gross ratings points in the period.

According to the Nielsen Galaxy research, The WB dropped 18 percent in GRPs, ABC fell 11.7 percent, and NBC dropped 9.2 percent. Disney's GRPs in the demographic were flat, Fox's were up almost 1 percent, and Discovery's rose 4.6 percent. Only Turner's rose comparably--up 10.7 percent, according to the data to be released by MTV.

That doesn't tell the whole story, said Betsy Frank, MTV Networks' executive vice president of research.

"The broadcasters didn't just lose ratings, but they actually lost reach across their prime time schedules," Frank said. She said it's a problem not only of viewers tuning out the networks, but also of not bothering to tune in at all--and a problem of viewers losing confidence and trust in broadcast's ability to deliver the entertainment they crave.

That's where MTV Networks comes in with its new slogan: Consumer connection, advertiser advantage. It builds upon Intermedia Advertising Group research presented at last year's upfront that found that MTV Networks score highest on relevancy, connection, and trust.

Frank said that the research presented tonight points to MTV Networks as a place that makes a deep connection with its viewers.

"People are losing trust in institutions, and people are looking for brands they can always depend on--trust. Our viewers believe we're telling them the truth and are honest," Frank said. That's not just MTV or VH1, but across all the networks, she said.

"MTV Networks is all about the consumer," said Bob Bakish, the company's chief operating officer for advertising sales. Bakish said that the networks invest in research that finds out what the demographics are looking for-- not only on television, but also how they consume media--providing a deeper understanding of its viewers.

Wednesday's event will be MTV Network's second full upfront presentation. Last year's event was a star-filled, high-energy presentation that included performances by Elton John and Kid Rock, as well as appearances by Jewel, Paris Hilton, P Diddy, and Ozzy Osbourne, among others. This year's event will include John Stewart, Jessica Simpson, and Nick Lachey, and performances by Alicia Keys and Fleetwood Mac.

[strandinthewind]

How come none of us scored tickets to this :shrug: :mad: :D

[wondergirl9847]

Are there any Ledgies who are media or ad execs because those are the only people allowed, I hear. It's private and invitation only, so no fans and it won't be on TV. :(

Yep, the MTV studios and stuff is in NYC, so that's why he's there.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Hmmm sounds interesting. Is this something thats supposed to be on tv or what?

Maybe THAT'S WHY Lindsey is in NYC

hehe
Chris

[dissention]

They probably are afraid to say "Come", with the Gestapo looking over everyone's shoulder on TV and on Radio.

I would've told Lindsey:

"I listened to the disc last night and I totally love how Come is all over it. It really got me excited."

:laugh:

Now, don't let Dissention and me rub off on you too much. :]

Don't worry about that happening... someone has to keep the balance between good and evil around here! :laugh: ;) :xoxo:

[dissention]

I always thought her name was Suzanne? But yeah, that's her!

Yeah, it's Suzanne! Different name, same lip. :lol:

:eek:

that is hard to swallow :cool:

[dissention]

I didn't swallow, I spit. ;) And it simply landed on the board.

[wondergirl9847]

I cut out most of the uhhh's, you know's and various stutters from LB and the CNN dude.

GYOW plays as they show Dance-era practice footage

CNN: There for awhile, the members of Fleetwood Mac did go their own way, but they got back together last year for a new studio album, and now there's a new tour on the way, and a new live CD and DVD coming as well. And here to talk more about that is the Mac singer, songwriter, guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham joining us now live from New York. We're so glad to have you here. Thanks for being on Headline News.

LB: It's good to be here.

CNN: At least, if anything, this proves that last year's reunion album, Say You Will, was not a one shot thing. You've got all this activity coming up, it's gonna be a busy summer for you. Did you miss the band members, the crowds, the music, what?

LB: Well, I think you, you know, the reconvening of this group of people was more about just fate. A series of circumstances led us to this and the significant thing is that we're enjoying it alot more than we were able to before. We're all come through the other side of our various struggles, and we're just friends now. We're having a great time.

CNN: That kinda gets into my next question, that alot of the baggage from getting the band going and struggling through and having all of this great success and then seeing the rollercoaster of fame and all of this pop stardom, that maybe the pressure is off maybe more than ever.

LB: Well, it is, yes, and obviously, there was a certain [shows Dance era footage again] kind of convolution that took place in terms of having couples that were breaking up within the band at that time, kind of exercises in denial you might say, so yeah, we're having a better time than we've ever had.

CNN: Sounds like. I'm gonna try to make it to the show here in Atlanta. When I go, I'm gonna wanna hear, the old favorites, you know, Rumours, was a very big high school album for me and I'm dating myself right now, [LB laughs] but I'm gonna wanna hear the songs the way I remember hearing them when I had the 8 track playing in my car. I know that there is the temptation to wanna change things up because you've played these songs so many times and I'm wondering how you go about making those decisions about are we gonna try to throw some changes into Go Your Own Way or some of the other classics or do you realize that people wanna hear them the way you played them?

LB: Well, I think the way you introduce newness into the show isn't so much about changing the classics up, it's about striking a balance between the old material and new material. So, we have a pretty healthy selection of songs from the Say You Will album, but you don't wanna screw around too much with the old songs, those are pretty much the same as they've always been.

CNN: I mean we're talking about, looking at some off the DVD and CD, Dreams, Rhiannon, Come, Big Love, Landslide, Silver Springs, Stand Back Go Your Own Way. You've gonna get a pretty good mix here, as well as introducing folks to Say You Will, which brings me to my next question. Are you getting a good mix of folks who have been with you since the very beginning and maybe some younger fans are just now learning about Fleetwood Mac.

LB: Well, yes, we're very surprised, well, maybe not THAT surprised, but when we were touring, before, a few months ago, there were alot of I hate...I hesitate to say kids, but relatively speaking [They both laugh], alot of 20 year olds out there. I think they've rediscovered what we're doing and seem to find it fresh in the context of what's going on today, so that's nice to see.

CNN: Well, they're gonna get more chances to rediscover Fleetwood Mac this summer. This tour starts this weekend, I believe, in Madison, Wisconsin and then June 15th, the release of Live in Boston, deluxe CD and DVD package. Lindsey Buckingham, good luck with everything this year with Fleetwood Mac and thank you for being here today.

LB: Pleasure being here, thank you.

CNN (lady) to CNN (guy): If it's any consulation, Rumours is the one I remember.

CNN (guy): High school....

PFFFTTT!!! I know more about the CNN moron's teen life than I do about Fleetwood Mac's tour/album.

[Les]

Thanks for the transcript, Christy.

[Hawkeye]

If I was Lindsey I would've hit the interviewer over the head with his guitar when he said that crap about wanting to hear the songs the way they were. I'd like to have seen LIndsey's face when he said that. Does anyone have any pictures from the show.

[Nicks Fan]

The way I see it is that no matter what happens we are always going to have people talk about the Rumours and virtually ignore the other albums. I mean Rumours is a classic but they made other albums too. Iwish these reporters would stop asking these inane questions about the drugs sex and booze and breakups. We know all that already. Give us something fresh.

Matt

[Merf]

WAS STEVIE THERE ??? :p

No, it was a Lindsey-only interview.
