Lindsey and Stevie have "turned a corner"?
 

A tweet:

@EagleSacramento 96.9 The Eagle
Lindsey Buckingham says that he and Stevie Nicks have turned a corner. "Closer than we've been in 30 years."


I'm getting interesting Buckingham Nicks vibes in these recent press appearances. But does anyone know from what interview this came?

I know Stevie said that but I didn't know Lindsey did.

Is it just me or does one of them say something along those lines every time it might seem beneficial to album sales?

I was just about to say something along those lines :laugh:

They seemed to get "closer" around the time of The Dance and SYW, but I recall reading somewhere that Stevie made a comment about never working with him again sometime after that. They go back and forth so much it's hard to keep track!

that's just excerpt from a recent stevie interview. that's what she said that he said when leaving her house after recording SA. tweet makes it seem like somebody (other than stevie) heard that statement from LB, but i think it's just rehashing stevie's interview.

and i agree with you all (and it's what LB says over and over about rumours), voyeurism sells...

That's right. They're using her press. She said Lindsey said that to her.

I'll believe it when we get that Buckingham Nicks album. :lol:

Have faith, Brandon!! :)

Stevie didn't say anything about corners though! :lol:

I do. I just want it to happen before I keel over. :lol:

You and me both, brother! :lol: Before Stevie REALLY can't remember the words to Frozen Love! :lol:

Please Lindsey... time is running out !!!
 

:shocked: The car wreck we were in left me with
some impairment and a slight stroke! I only tell you this because all I wanted was to get to my computer and check on darling Lindsey!!! :cool:
So thanks to the fans who print articles & photos!

:blob2: We are all excited about the anticipated album and pray it comes out as planned before
some other catastrophe hits us !!! So Brandon
we share your angst!!! We admire Lindsey and
his fine body of work!!! & his fine body :laugh:)

haha... good to hear from ya Cammie :)

OMG, I am so sorry! It's always great to read your posts and please keep it up as best you can. You're such a positive person.:wavey:

Stevie told Perez that she loves LB's new album because he took some serious melody pills and lyric pills.

Oooh weee. Listen to me. I actually don't think Lindsey needed any lyric pills. In fact, although I love the songs we've heard, I think his lyrics were more complex on past albums (save for the obvious DYMM exception) than on the 6 SWS songs.

Michele

:laugh: I thought it was funny she mentioned the melody pills when Lindsey made the comment during the ASCAP expo how the music industry has discovered they can't survive without melody. It must be a hotbed of discussion right now.

Cammie, I'm so sorry to hear that news. I hope you are doing as well as possible! I'm glad that you are here at The Ledge. I always enjoy your posts.:nod:

Yes, they are all pushing back against rap, hip hop and the death of real music.

I think melody is important and, looking back, that is probably why it took me almost 2 years to warm up to TISL, because it lacked melody to me. However, once I fell for it, it was as if my eyes had finally been opened.

But Lindsey has always been able to bring that when he wants. There's a reason why the crowd always loves I Know I'm Not Wrong, even though must of them have never heard it before.

Plus, Lindsey did not just contribute to his own songs all those years. There are some FM songs that may not have been written by him, but are infectious because of him, at least partly.

But her lyric/melody comment made me think she didn't like UTS or GOS and that makes me a little sad. I thought she would. I don't expect her to like Go Insane or Law and Order, but I thought she would have liked the last ones more.

Add-on:

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM: He and Stevie "Still a Work in Progress"

Even 35 years after Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, the wounds of that period aren't completely healed. Lindsey Buckingham admits that he and Stevie Nicks "are still a work in progress." He says, "We broke up and we never really got closure, and it was very difficult for me to produce her."



But they both feel they've turned a corner with the duet "Soldier's Angel," off her In Your Dreams album, released yesterday. Buckingham says, "You don't want things to end in any other than a positive and unified way. So I was quite happy to see that come about." And Stevie agrees, saying, "I think that song really brought Lindsey and I back together. He said to me..., 'I feel like we're closer than we've been in 30 years.'"

Could this lead to another Buckingham-Nicks album? Eight years ago, Buckingham said he'd be up for it, and Stevie now says, "Maybe Lindsey and I will go off and rent a house in Wales and do a Buckingham-Nicks album. I have no idea, but I do know the music will continue."

Excellent. Maybe the next Mac album will have a song called "Welsh Summer." lol

Seriously, how awesome and poetic would a BN 2 be??

I remember when he called the band a "work in progress" and talked about wanting to end things well, as friends.

Yes, Lindsey, if I were you, I'd like to end things on a good, warm and high note with all 4 of them.

Michele

Stevie was saying the women in her family live forever. I can see she plans to smoke past Lindsey and intends to be the last survivor, sitting on that bed alone.

Michele

Let's hope it's "smoking" past him in only the metaphoric sense. I would love for her to stop smoking for real though. :(

That's funny -- but sad too.

And, hello, since her mom had "such bad emphysema"!! Now, cut THAT out!!!

Well, it's a very good thing that she's aware her mother's life was cut short because of smoking (although 84 is a good age, it could have been more). So, that's got to be a wake up call for her.

Michele

How much of a smoker is she? I'm somewhat aware that she's had periods of time when she smoked cigarettes, but I've never thought of her as a heavy smoker. But I see her and Lindsey as casual stoners.

well, your lungs don't distinguish between tobacco, pot, or anything else.... any kind of smoke is an irritant and causes inflammation and all the bad stuff that goes with..:shocked:

So, if Barbara Nicks smoked for 70 years she must have started at the age of 14 and she must not have stopped even after she and her husband were treated for heart problems. That's quite an addiction. I remember her making a statement after AHI about how important raising money for research is. Lindsey was standing behind her and she referenced his father's heart disease. I didn't know Mrs. Nicks was still smoking like a chimney at that late point.

Michele

actually there has been some surprising research results recently that maybe they do. not sure how reproducible and credible the study was, and they just speculated as to why that would be the case, but there is a possibility that pot smoking may not be as bad for your lungs as tobacco smoking.

I've known a lot of smokers with emphysema, carting the oxygen around and smoking up a storm. My sister is a heavy smoker and her husband has emphysema, he just quit but she's still refuses. It's been 40+ years for her.

Well, Kenneth Branagh made the image famous in Dead Again of the person smoking through a tracheotomy hole. When Stevie talks about her mom it's about someone who taught discipline and restraint, more so than her dad who seemed to be wrapped around her finger. So, I was surprised about the 70 years.

I wonder what Lindsey's mom died of. I liked it when he pointed out that at least she got to see him settled with a wife and a baby, before she passed on.

Michele

Yeah, I don't remember ever reading what happened to Mrs. Buckingham. And, 70 years is a hella long time to smoke.

Indeed. My grandfather was in the hospital, on oxygen, and demanding he be given his cigarettes. Decades-long addiction there.

My dad similar to Stevie's mom--he started smoking at 13. Alas he died of a massive heart attack from his mega-(smoke)clogged arteries at 73 and smoked right til the end though they told him it would kill him. (Everyone who didn't smoke in his family made it to their early 90s). I still resent being denied another 10-15-20 years with him. However, I understand it is not just a chemical addiction but a psychological addiction-- it becomes this thing you rely on when stressed, lonely, bored, whatever... and it's very hard to give up. My dad did try quitting many times, and the longest he was able to quite was a full two years... but there would always be something that would trigger it and he'd fall back into it.

LB's mom is forever a mystery to me. He doesn't ever say much about her publicly, though they were apparently very close. And aside from mentioning that he had the most wonderful childhood and great parents, there isn't much else said. Least of all about her passing.

She was one month shy of 79 when she died. I remember reading that she played piano and she wanted Lindsey to have lessons, but he didn't have the patience.

Thinking of Lindsey's father dying on Valentine's Day, I wonder if Stevie and Lindsey used to celebrate that occasion at all. I remember her saying she was the one who had to hand him the phone with the bad news on the other end.

Lindsey's songs didn't get much play from the White album, but SYLM, Over My Head and Rhiannon certainly did. Having your family finally hear you on the radio. You just have to say to yourself that you wish your dad had lived just a little bit longer to experience that.
