Lindsey - epiphany!
 

soo, i'm at school, supposed to be working on a project for World History.....

and i'm just thinking...

Lindsey's kinda......amazing...:p

ok...i'm done...

:sorry: for the pointless thread.

and i will now direct you to the awesomest photo ever...

Click me!!!!!

Can you do a report on LB for World History?? lol! I wrote a term paper in college titled 'Lindsey Buckingham and His Commercial Effect on Fleetwood Mac'. This was in 1992, after he had left FM. I received a B+!:laugh:

I did a report on Sonny Bono's solo album Inner Views when I was in college. We had to get our paper approved by the teacher first and he told me he didn't think I would have much material, but I proved him wrong. Everyone else was doing their paper on the Beatles.

I did like Fleetwood Mac when I was in college, but I never thought to write about them at the time.

Great subject matter! Well, it's probably good that our instructor didn't want to know our topics beforehand. He probably would have laughed at me.

For AP English III for a final project we had to do a research paper on anything we wanted, and of course I did it on Fleetwood Mac. That was 3 years ago, and my FM knowledge has at least tripled by now, but I still received an A :D

haha wow i didn't think this thread would get much of any views.....but i do wish i could do a report on him! unfortunately it's on the industrial revolution.......grrrrrr

I did an essay describing Debbie Harry (I just posted it in the writing thread) in school and got an A+ :thumbsup:

I did the same exact thing in 9th grade for my iSearch english paper..I had to write two poems, one original and one found poem. For the found poem i used this article about Fleetwood Mac being the biggest soap opera in history and i used that for my title (The Biggest Soap Opera In Rock and Roll History) and for the found poem i used Angel, Songbird, and Tusk. the title of that one was The Deranged Circus. They both turned out really good and i got an A+ on both (do they even give us +'s anymore). This project is what made me fall in love with all of them. I can probably find the Deranged Circus one but I the other one has long been lost =[

I have yet to be able to do a FM related paper, but am looking forward to the day!!! Cool to hear your stories!

I loved World History in high school.

And I give your picture a B rating ;)

a B?!?!?!! B?!?!?!?!?!?! i'm sorry but it's definitely worth an A! :laugh:

(as i love old Lindsey best)

it's friggin amazingg!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOLZ

The picture reminded me of you, Brandon. What do you think Shane?

Yeah, this picture of my FM fav member get's an A. However, I'm always strangely attracted to Christine's photo in my signature, which get's an A+. Thus, your Lindsey photo is only the second best picture ever... :laugh:

haha fine i'll take that.....but i do lo:nod:ve that pic of Chris! Stunning!

Kind of OT but...
 

I can't remember what class it was-probably some writing course- but in undergrad I wrote a paper explaining why Plastic Ono Band by John Lennon was probably the most powerful, soul-bearing, and testimonial album ever created, and I totally got an A on it.*

*I think the professor was a Lennon fan. ;)

But seriously...that album is a work of art. I'm all for papers on the greatness of an artist or a work of art. It's SO much more compelling when you believe it yourself, though you have to word it in a way that doesn't sound completely biased.

If I was writing a paper now I would totally choose LB's Out of the Cradle as best album ever. And I would make sure to toot his horn.:nod:

I remember justifying listening to Tusk while studying for my geometry exams by incorporating the geometry into the songs from Tusk. "What Makes You Think You're an Equilateral Triangle" was a fave. Also recall the lyric "said Sara! You're a parallelogram!" Yeah.

I look forward to my birthday in a few months when my Dad'll buy me all of Lennon's albums - a wonderful 21st birthday present! But until then I'll have to omit them from any favourites lists I might create, as I sadly haven't heard any of them (I only own the compilation Lennon Legend). :distress:
Out of curiosity, are you a Nutopian citizen? (http://www.joinnutopia.com/)

You'll fall in love with him all over again...I think people sometimes forget that John was simply an extraordinary, brilliant songwriter. Sometimes we all get caught up in the hype and the stories and the image, but strip it all away and you have a very simple man with many strong convictions and flaws- and he could make all of that into incredible music.

The "Lennon Anthology" is one of the most beautiful collections of music I have ever heard in my life.

No, :). Not a citizen... Thanks for the link!

Epic :D :nod:

I wrote an article on Stevie for a school magazine, and talked about her a lot in an English essay on song lyrics. I think teachers like to see enthusiasm :)

Btw, I don't think this is a pointless thread. I have those "epiphanies" all the time about a particular artist or song (or line in a song!) and it's great to share them!

Lindsey is great. I remember seeing him for the first time watching the Dance and being just transfixed. It's sad in my area when I gush about Lindsey, everybody always go who:( Idiots lol

Mick

^^ It's worse when they go "who's she?" :rolleyes:

Yeah, that happened to me when I called to buy tickets to one of Lindsey's Vegas shows. The sales rep at the hotel box office was calling him "her."

Michele

oh my god i hate that too! And then i talk about Stevie and they call him a "he"

makes Miranda sad....... :(

Didn't mean to dig up this old thread, but I've had some FM epiphanies. Recently, in my struggles to pass precalc (along with the rest of the class), I realized my experience sounded a lot like the lyrics to I'm So Afraid, so I posted the Rosebud version of it on my Facebook just yesterday (those of you that are friends with me on FB, such as golddustdrummer, saw it).

I never wrote any papers on FM, but knowing me, it'd probably be a debate over whether or not I prefer Rumours or Tusk Lindsey more lol. Or maybe it'd be why I think Tusk is so awesome.

i would love for a full-fledged Ledge debate on Rumours vs. Tusk

ultimately, i would have to be on the Team Tusk, but it would not be an easy choice.

I'm a bit of a newbie truefaith, so can you start it on the Rumours board? Please? I'll definitely take part in it.

And I'll be honest: it's a tough decision for me too, like trying to pick between Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, or IV and Physical Graffiti, or Abbey Road and the White Album (sorry, had to throw out classic vs. double album debates), and depending on my mood, I'll be in either camp.

I get that feeling about Stevie, in class too :nod:
