Fleetwood Mac on CNN
 

Tomorrow morning at 7 Eastern Mick & Lindsey will be interviewed by Carol Costello. Just saw the promo, she said she can't wait.

You beat me to it, The Catdancer, though I thought it was coming up like now!

7 am eastern is 6am central my time...guess I'll be up early tomorrow! :cool:

Same here, 5 it is :eek:

I hope it will show up online because I dont get CNN no more in my cable lineup package.

I get up at 8am, as I start work at 9am. I might watch it but getting up 2hrs early will be hard to do.

Probably will catch it on youtube tomorrow night. :cool:

she said on her FB that she interviewed them and it will air thursday. didnt specify what time.

Oh, I was wondering what was going on. I happened to be up and turned on the tv, but didn't see them.

Thursday is better for me anyway...:cool:

That's odd. She said that they would be there today in the promo. Maybe I misunderstood but I saw it a few times and every time it said "Tuesday 7am Eastern". Weird :shrug:

Her show is on in the morning from 7 to 9

:sorry:

I hope the interview shows up on CNN.com or Youtube.What is the name of the show the boys will be interviewed on.I,m not familiar with the host and with the channel anymore like i used to be.

Cnn Newsroom.

thanks. that show is on at 9am, 11am, 1pm and 2pm. maybe it was originally gonna be at 9am this morning and got bumped because of protest coverage in Turkey. :shrug:

Did this air?

Not yet.

Michele

That could be it because I'm sure she said Tuesday.

Can somebody please capture this interview and share it here.Thank you an advance.

Did anyone see? I had it on in background, but never saw it - although they repeated other stories 50 times, so clearly they had time????? Now there's been a chemical explosion which will (appropriately) prob preempt any scheduled stuff-

I've had CNN on since 9:30am CST. It now 11:08am CST, still no Mac interview or mention of it or them.

Supreme court rulings on gene patents and the chemical explosion plant are front and center today. :cool:

I don't think they've aired it. I've had it on all morning and no Mick and Lindsey :shrug:

What was the outcome of this .Did they air it or it got ditched for other stories.

I got derailed from looking this up on YouTube and the CNN site do to the FM marathon on WBWC.

Nothing was aired :distress:

I figure that was going to happen.

Any update on this, Ledgies? :confused:

This interview aired this morning. (Maybe it aired other times also, I don't know). I caught it totally by accident around 8 or 830 pacific time. It lasted maybe...5-6 mins? Perhaps it was 10 mins but honestly it didn't feel nearly that long.

It was a pretty lame interview. LB and Mick sitting in front of what looked like their stage set up. The interviewer (some chick anchor person) was blathering about nothing really and then they would cut to very short, maybe one-sentence responses from Mick or Lindsey. Very edited.

The gist was:

Mick said something about yes we have a fan base but you never really know when you go out on the road if they will be willing to come out (ie, pay) to see you.

Lindsey said with the EP at least they aren't going out exclusively resting on their laurels. He did say there was a a level of excitement and creativity in the new music; they are hoping to get "Stevie to bring some new music to the table" and do more.

She asked if there was still love between LB and SN, to which LB replied "Sure" and then it was edited to jump to him saying that he's "moved on in my personal life" and he has "three wonderful kids and a beautiful wife".

And that was kinda it. A few interspersed clips of them live but mostly stuff from the Clinton inauguration and audio of Don't Stop throughout off and on. They did come back to the studio and go to commercial with some live audio of Dreams that was not from The Dance.

Short, heavily edited to sound-bytes and nothing really of substance. :shrug:

ETA: LB did say that the challenge for him and Stevie was that they never got the chance to NOT be around each other and get that sort of closure from their relationship that "normal couples" get.

And a standard LB comment on Rumours about how unique it was to have 2 couples in a band and then both breaking up and that the soap opera took on a dimension beyond the music.

Of course, it would air completely without warning, when we were expecting it a week ago.

Thanks for filling us in. LB's "sure" is pretty funny.

Lindsey and Stevie's relationship in general just makes me chuckle and scratch my head. :laugh: Their relationship is certainly very complicated. I mean, it's been how many years now since they broke up? Thirty-six? And Stevie wasn't Lindsey's longest-term girlfriend either. You'd think that by now they'd be at a good enough place where they could just give straight-forward answers like "Yes, we are good friends now" instead of "Ehh, maybe?" But I guess Lindsey has a point; they really didn't have that distance immediately after their breakup. Still though, they have the most fascinating, bizarre relationship ever. :laugh:

Well, I think it's a silly question in a way. I chuckled about it too though, the way bombaysaffires described it and how he was cut off, after one word. That struck me as funny.

But the question itself . . . It's like asking someone if they love their sister. Sure you're going to love them. He loves John. I'm not saying he loves Stevie in the same way, but after that much time has passed, of course, you're going to love them to a certain extent. All that shared history. That person is a part of you, if not in the lovey dovey sense, then in the memory sense. When someone is gone who experienced and understood what you did, you lose a chunk of yourself and your validation. I mean, if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to remember it falling with you, did it really fall?

You know a 31 year old Buzzfeed writer, Michael Hastings, crashed his car into a tree and died this week and one of the greatest remarks about him came from a rival journalist who said something like he had a hard time describing to his wife why the death hit him so hard, because he didn't much like Michael and Michael didn't like him. But the reason he didn't like him was because he was in your face, intense and competitive and believed in his craft. I understood what he was saying. You miss a person like that when they're gone, even if they really annoyed you when they were there.

I don't know why you'd even think to ask a guy who has known a woman since 1965 and worked side by side with her for many of the years since then if he loves her.

About the only thing I got out of this is that I definitely like Stevie's bangs better than the no-bangs look showed in several of the clips, and the fact that there was a mention of a Broadway show. I doubt that will ever get off the ground, though.

:laugh: yeah i just saw that. too funny! although it would actually make sense considering that's what they are acting out every day on the stage anyway. :D

Thanks for posting the link!! It wasn't up after I first saw the interview.

It's good to go back and watch it again... it was kind of a blur this morning because it caught me totally by surprise and then bam! it was over.

oops LB said "Yes" to the question is there still love between him and Stevie, not "sure" though it doesn't really change the meaning.

I'd forgotten the anchor mentioned the Broadway show thing... funny that she had no actual FOOTAGE of them saying that, which would have been far more useful than redundant comments like "geez there was a lot of drama in the band" and whether there's love between them. oy.

Makes me wonder if they really said anything substantive about a b'way show or if maybe she just asked them something like "hey would you guys ever do a B'way show like ABBA did?" and they said "well you never know" or "stranger things have happened" or "well we've talked about that......" But like others, I *seriously* doubt that'll ever come to fruition. Geez, they can barely work out a 4 song EP in this lifetime let alone getting all the managers and other players to agree to a whole freaking script and etc... the wrestling over who's version of reality gets told would be a nightmare!

Nice little interview, though I was hoping for a live interview.

The Mac need a whole hour on a talk show, the today show, GMA or something...:cool:

Lindsey always cracks me up with the "beautiful wife" thing. I'm actually surprised he doesn't say "beautiful, young wife."
It's never a "wonderful woman," or a "loving wife."
Maybe I'm just in a pissy mood;-)

Unfortunately this isn't the first mention of a Broadway show. Mick (I think) has brought the subject up before, saying he wanted to do one.

I'll pass. :D

....Eh, who am I kidding. I'd be the first in line at the box office. And the auditions. :lol:

hmmm...I can see Mick wanting to do it....but LB? The interviewer made a point to say each of them was talking about it. Lindsey's kids and beautiful wife getting expensive? ;)

CNN transcript

After 45 years, 16 members and more than 100 million albums --

(MUSIC)

COSTELLO: -- Fleetwood Mac is once again selling out. I talked with them about their enduring success.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COSTELLO: Iconic Fleetwood Mac song launched Bill Clinton's presidential campaign way back in the day. And why not? Fleetwood Mac represented youth and came to represent a new generation in the White House -- baby boomers were now in power. Seems like a million years ago, doesn't it?

But, Fleetwood Mac is back, big time. With sold-out shows, new music and new fans, even they are a little freaked out by the love coming their way. I know -- really? I sat down one-on-one with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood. It was awesome. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM, GUITARIST, FLEETWOOD MAC: Sometimes it takes a significant period of time in order to know that what you've done has legs, that it means something that it has worked its way into the fabric.

COSTELLO: When I go see a band that I really love, many years ago, first of all I want to see what they look like. Second of all, I kind of want to relive the day.

MICK FLEETWOOD, DRUMMER, FLEETWOOD MAC: I never get very specific about being focusing on too much going on in the audience.

COSTELLO: What do you do before the show?

FLEETWOOD: I get a little anxious, so I keep occupied. At a certain point, family, no family, it's like there's a lockdown where then it really gets into a rhythm of preshow. So I try to keep busy, you know. I actually am pretending to learn the guitar and the ukulele.

COSTELLO: Just to keep your mind off the coming performance?

FLEETWOOD: And I'm actually having fun doing that and I'll sit and do that in the dressing room.

COSTELLO: Once you take the stage no nerves, nothing?

BUCKINGHAM: No. I mean I can remember being nervous a long, long time ago. But you know, it's been quite a while.

COSTELLO: So you guys have sold out pretty much every show. Some people might say that's amazing.

FLEETWOOD: We feel that we have an audience, we're blessed that we have an audience. But you never really, really know whether or not they're going to knock on the door again.

COSTELLO: We have to talk about some of the drama surrounding the band.

BUCKINGHAM: The musical soap opera, if you will the fact there were these two couples who were living out their lives in front of the public and were, you know, writing songs that had cross dialogues back and forth, the subtext really of the "Rumors" album is something else.

COSTELLO: I don't know how you could have done that frankly.

BUCKINGHAM: We're still working on.

COSTELLO: So there's still love between you two?

BUCKINGHAM: Yes. We really had to compartmentalize. The other unnatural part of that was we never really had the opportunity to spend time apart in order to get the kind of closure that a normal couple would -- would have. COSTELLO: Well, there are a lot of fans who still want to see you guys together.

FLEETWOOD: And they do, every night.

BUCKINGHAM: I moved on with my life personally. I have three children and a beautiful wife.

COSTELLO: I want to ask you about your new songs because there are four of them, as I understand it.

BUCKINGHAM: Yes.

COSTELLO: So will there be more?

BUCKINGHAM: We are very much hoping to get Stevie to come to the table with some new songs. Clearly, you know what we're doing is as fresh and vital as anything we've done in a long time. You know there is still this creative forward motion in the band, you know, so that we're not strictly resting on our laurels.
