Lindsey and his speeches...
 

>>While I'm sure Chris is happy with the fortune she's made, she's never liked touring. Go allllll the way back to the lyrics for Homeward Bound. And she was 29ish then.>>

At age 26, shortly before she 'retired' to be a housewife-- she said in an interview, "I don't want to live out of a suitcase all my life." She said she hated staying in hotels and always did her best to get back home instead.

A little trip or vacation is one thing. A long-*ss, never-ending tour is quite another. I think that would have made me insane, to try and sleep in a different bed every night...ugh. Not my cup of tea at all.

And, she said exactly the same thing about living out of a suitcase just several weeks ago in that radio interview...35 years later. :)

When you have such a wonderful talent as she does, I guess that's the cross you just have to bear. Thankfully. :woohoo:

The Lexus part doesn't bother me. But the Burgers and Fries?

Geez Louise. What happened to all that good Fleetwood Mac clean living?

A year and a half? Try 22. This is just a makeover of the "A lot of people wonder what happened to us ... and we refuse to go away" lines he said during the Mirage tour. Yes, different words, but same meaning, said at the same point during the concert, wearing the same shirt. :)

Now, if he had brought back the fedora from years ago, I might have forgiven the t-shirt. Instead, he decided to mothball the hat and follow in Lyle Lovett's footsteps. Given all the "Stevie's Bangs" conversations that have gone on, why hasn't there been a thread entitled "How Many Times Has Lindsey Seen 'Young Frankenstein'?" :nod:

But then again, look at the career Madonna has had :thumbsup:

David, I have to agree. But then again, this band has always been about the crazy. Personally, I think it's John. While he may have been the resident drunk in the band, he never actually went crazy. In fact, he's probably one of the only major players to not have gone nuts:

Peter Green: Found religion, did some drugs, lost his mind.

Jeremy Spencer: Probably schizoaffective. He had two personalities before it was cool.

Danny Kirwan: Social phobic who was crazy prior to joining the band.

Bob Welch: Appeared crazy in the 90s, but it may have been bad legal advice.

Mick Fleetwood: Snapped after being canned as manager.

Stevie Nicks: Tranqued into crazy in the mid-80s.

Lindsey Buckingham: Lost it around "Tusk." Even did an album called "Go Insane."

Christine McVie: Does not answer phone. Will only talk to old friends on phone. She's developed social phobia.

Billy Burnette: In general, he's a goofball. Probably not "crazy," but why all the country albums? This guy is an average country/rocker, but has rockabilly god potential.

Dave Mason: I think Dave lost it around '78 or so. Still talks about playing with Hendrix. Still talks about wanting to get back with Traffic. Still coked out of his mind.

JOHN GRAHAM McVIE: Sure, he's taken the 13th step a few times, but he's never been the guy in the band who's going to make people roll their eyes.

Zing! :laugh:

MONEY!!!!

Stevie certainly has done her share of corp. events in the past. AND - many acts do. In the hright of her poularity (1995ish) I saw Whitney Houstom play for the Coca Cola Christmas Party in Atlanta - so they all do it.

That's RICH.

:] :lol: :laugh: :blob2:

I remember back a few years ago, The Eagles were paid something like 600 or 800 thousand bucks for a one night stint in Ottawa for some private event... Can't recall what it was for.. but the news article was so much for them doing this private event, it was leaning towards the huge amount of cash that got them to do it... Who wouldn't do a one nighter if the price is right...

There's more than 'insanity' as a common thread. They're all amazing musicians! Is there a link between the two, maybe..?

Post of the year, right here! :wavey:
