Lindsey Buckingham to headline star-studded fundraiser for Democratic candidates

A star-studded fundraiser for Democratic candidates in key House races is scheduled for next month.

Former Fleetwood Mac lead guitarist Lindsey Buckingham will perform at the Los Angeles home of California Coastal Commissioner Chair Dayna Bochco on July 31.

The event’s co-hosts include directors Cameron Crowe and Callie Khouri, affordable housing developer Tom Safran, producers Doug Wick and Bill Mechanic and “Game of Thrones” co-creator David Benioff.

“The road to take back the House of Representatives runs through California,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Torrance) wrote in an email invitation. “You can meet all eight of our wonderful red-to-blue candidates in one place … eight terrific candidates. Awesome songs. Amazing people.”

Donations will go to the newly created California Candidates Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee for these congressional hopefuls in the state: Gil Cisneros, T.J. Cox, Josh Harder, Katie Hill, Mike Levin and Katie Porter.

The candidates are all competing in races former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won in 2016. Andrew Janz also is participating in the fundraiser. He’s running against Rep. Devin Nunes in the 22nd Congressional District, which Clinton lost.

There is still a contested race between real estate investor Harley Rouda and stem cell scientist Hans Keirstead in the 48th Congressional District race. On Friday afternoon, only 20 votes separated the two candidates. Whoever is declared the victor will get a portion the funds raised at this event.

[Dr.Brown]

I'm a fan of the man's music but definitely not of his politics. Of course, it's his right to express his views but he's apparently becoming more of an activist.
I think he's an amazing talent who was treated shabbily by the band but at this point I don't think I'll further patronize him. :sorry:

i think this is partly a result of him currently not having any management, apparently. all these gigs are set by Cameron Crowe, who is his friend.

that said, i know some people have trouble separating politics from the artist. there are people who stopped going to see Springsteen after he stomped and performed at various political events. but - Bruce or Lindsey are not artists who bring their political views in their regular shows. they are different from Roger Waters, for example, in that regard. if a musician makes the show around expressing his political views, then i can see people with different views not patronizing that show. when the show is just music, i can't say that i understand when people say they will stop seeing an amazing artist they love.

[Dr.Brown]

Oh, I'll still listen to his music but regardless of where any artist sits on the political spectrum, I pay to be entertained and not to be lectured by them - whether they're Roger Waters or Ted Nugent.

[mitzo]

Wow how cool is this, he is such an all-round hero. Will some funds go to helping battered and abused women too?!

[elle]

makes complete sense. :nod:

and certainly would not expect anyone not agreeing with particular politics to attend a political fundraiser(where paying to attend equates to donating to that cause). i have to wonder how much the cheapest tix for this will be. this is at the Steven Bochco's (of “Hill Street Blues,” “L.A. Law,” “NYPD Blue,” died of cancer recently) house i believe.

He's out there using his talent for something he believes in. Regardless of the side of the aisle you sit on--I respect that. Ted Kennedy and John McCain were great friends and political "foes". We can all get along.

[SteveMacD]

So, Lindsey did something you don’t agree with that got under your skin enough that you’re writing him off? And, yet you’re still angry the band fired him?

[Dr.Brown]

So, Lindsey did something you don’t agree with that got under your skin enough that you’re writing him off? And, yet you’re still angry the band fired him?

I'm not writing him off at all, just not joining him at political events and, yes, I do think the band treated him like sh!t.

None of them are getting any younger, witness Danny Kirwan's passing, so I'd hoped they could have gone out with more class.

[dreamsunwind]

i think this is partly a result of him currently not having any management, apparently. all these gigs are set by Cameron Crowe, who is his friend.

Is there any actual proof he doesn't have management anymore? I mean it would make sense but everyone keeps saying that and as far as I know there's no factual evidence to believe so.
He might just be doing it for his friend and because it's something he supports. He played with Tim Kaine during the election as well.

[dreamsunwind]

Love it.
Love that he's supporting a cause like this.
And it's extra funny to see certain people get their feathers ruffled over it :p

[Sugar Mouse]

Still waiting for Lindsey to give his side of the story. The longer it takes him to do so, the more it looks like the band's account of events is fairly accurate.

[dreamsunwind]

Lindsey doesn't issue formal press statements. Like ever. When he left after Tango his statement basically just said "yes I have left". It took years to hear about what had actually gone down during that time and why he left. And that was only through interviews and documentaries done MUCH later.
Until he starts a press cycle for whatever he does next, he's probably not going to be talking about it much. His comments at that recent event were very brief and basically just addressing the elephant in the room.

That's obviously his choice.

[Dr.Brown]

That's obviously his choice.

Or not, depending on any legal restrictions which may be associated with the band's actions.

[DownOnRodeo]

I pay to be entertained and not to be lectured by them.

Where does a song like Murrow Turning Over in His Grave fit on the entertainment/lecturing spectrum, or by 'lecturing' do you just mean speeches between songs?

[Sugar Mouse]

Or not, depending on any legal restrictions which may be associated with the band's actions.

That's still his choice if he agreed to some financial settlement that limits his ability to speak about the breakup. And he already made some negative comments about the band last month so we know he's not forbidden to speak about this.

[Storms123]

That's still his choice if he agreed to some financial settlement that limits his ability to speak about the breakup. And he already made some negative comments about the band last month so we know he's not forbidden to speak about this.

He's actually said nothing negative about them. His only comments were not negative at all Actually to all of their credit no one has said anything negative. The band has been nothing but insulting to him and his mark on their success (the bs press statement), but none of them have actually said anything negative about each other. Actually no one has actually said anything of substance.

That's very true. There's been pointed comments and their actions have been seen as disrespectful/dismissive in the eyes of many but no one has really said anything negative about anyone involved.

He said the band lost perspective and damaged the legacy of the band. That's a pretty negative comment.

[SteveMacD]

He said the band lost perspective and damaged the legacy of the band. That's a pretty negative comment.

Not really, though. He was expressing his point of view on the situation, and specified that it was factions, not the whole band.

Lindsey Buckingham to headline star-studded fundraiser for Democratic candidates




What a brave soul. Who would think that an old
musician from California could possibly support
Democratic candidates? I really am surprised by
this.

Those twelve people who show up to see him
in concert just became the hateful eight.

[Storms123]

He said the band lost perspective and damaged the legacy of the band. That's a pretty negative comment.

That's absolutely not negative, that's his opinion. And not damaging to anyone's perspective or credibility. And BTW, no more negative then the pr that the band released when they told us he was out and Mike and Neil were in.

wow we got Sugar/Mick with his/her negativity about our man wondering into LB forum now? WTWCT??

[Storms123]

WTWCT indeed..LOL

[tabruns]

Cool, good for him. I hope this is very successful.

[pauls90]

Oh, I'll still listen to his music but regardless of where any artist sits on the political spectrum, I pay to be entertained and not to be lectured by them - whether they're Roger Waters or Ted Nugent.

This is basically the "shut up and sing" argument - which is really sad.

Artists are allowed to have and express their political views - especially those who are in a position to make their voices heard on issues they feel important. You have every right not to see them perform but they are certainly not only making art to simply "entertain" you.

Why is it sad? If I don't agree with the premise of an author I won't buy their book, same with any musicians hawking a political message. They can sing and write to their heart's content but I certainly won't be paying for it.

If I want to read a political tome or attend a political rally that's one thing but if I just want to read or enjoy a concert for entertainment purposes, it's another.

[FuzzyPlum]

In a persons day job its not the done thing to talk politics. In their own time they have every right to do and say what they want to who they want. Entertainers are no different. In his day job Lindsey doesn't talk politics. See fundraisers as being 'his own time'. People are paying to hear him play and hear his message.

Its so weird people are so hung up on the fact other people have different views to them on issues.

[LB Freakazoid]

Gotta chime in on this one...

With artists, they put out there their personal stuff. That's whats make's them the artists that we love. That we support with our 'fandom'. When an artist, notably, singer/songwriters, display their guts and heart over personal episodes in their lives thru their music/writings - isn't that what connects us to them? So when you ask that artist to remain one dimensional (tell me how you've suffered cuz I can relate), how can you groove on who they are?
When artists put themselves open for display - that's vulnerable. And that's what is so gravitational.
However, to pigeonhole an artist to perform as you what them to, is repugnant. If not insulting to who puts themselves out there 'just to entertain' you.
Artists are not 'on demand'.

[sodascouts]

I have no problem with Lindsey playing political fundraisers. I do find it tiresome when performers pontificate about politics to audiences at rock concerts, but a fundraiser? As FuzzyPlum said, they can do what they want "on their own time." Whether or not he shares my political opinion is irrelevant.

However, I do wonder if everyone here would be so "who cares what the performer's political opinions are" if Lindsey were playing a Trump fundraiser!

Perhaps, but I object to being lectured to - I find that to be repugnant, especially when it's on my dime.
I'm a patron who doesn't want to be patronized and told what to do by a guy whose expertise is strumming a six-string or any other instrument.
I don't care how 'vulnerable' they feel, particularly when none of the Macsters can claim to be 'starving artists'.

And I'm sorry but these are PAID professionals ordinarily under contract so yes they are indeed 'on demand'.

Not to state the obvious, but Lindsey’s expertise is fingerpicking a six-string, not strumming.

Haha, I wasn't speaking specifically about Lindsey. :lol:
I must have had Jimmy Buffet on my mind... :D

A very good point hahaha

I legit wish Linds and Kanye would collab

[sands of time]

It sounds like Lindsey has lost his perspective.

[FuzzyPlum]

It sounds like Lindsey has lost his perspective.

????Really, why so????

[sasja]

It sounds like Lindsey has lost his perspective.

Please elucidate?

[Storms123]

He's using his talent for something he believes in, I respect that.

[FuzzyPlum]

Do you think he believed in Hillary Clinton?


I'd guess its the overall principles he believes in; fairness, equality and supporting the less fortunate.

[sodascouts]

I think political debate belongs in Chit Chat. I'd really like to be spared the predictable exchange of each party's talking points.

[Dr.Brown]

I think political debate belongs in Chit Chat. I'd really like to be spared the predictable exchange of each party's talking points.

I agree. I'd rather not see partisan politics being bandied about in the main forums. :nod:

Wherever Lindsey performs, I hope we learn more specifically about what happened and what his plans are for the future.

[secondhandchain]

I'm a fan of the man's music but definitely not of his politics. Of course, it's his right to express his views but he's apparently becoming more of an activist.

Ok because he doesn't share your political views you are going to dump him as an artist???? Holy freaking crap.

[michelej1]

No more political retorts in this thread. Take it to Chit Chat.

A star-studded fundraiser for Democratic candidates in key House races is scheduled for next month.

Former Fleetwood Mac lead guitarist Lindsey Buckingham will perform at the Los Angeles home of California Coastal Commissioner Chair Dayna Bochco on July 31.

The event’s co-hosts include directors Cameron Crowe and Callie Khouri, affordable housing developer Tom Safran, producers Doug Wick and Bill Mechanic and “Game of Thrones” co-creator David Benioff.

“The road to take back the House of Representatives runs through California,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Torrance) wrote in an email invitation. “You can meet all eight of our wonderful red-to-blue candidates in one place … eight terrific candidates. Awesome songs. Amazing people.”

Donations will go to the newly created California Candidates Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee for these congressional hopefuls in the state: Gil Cisneros, T.J. Cox, Josh Harder, Katie Hill, Mike Levin and Katie Porter.

The candidates are all competing in races former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won in 2016. Andrew Janz also is participating in the fundraiser. He’s running against Rep. Devin Nunes in the 22nd Congressional District, which Clinton lost.
