What Was Said
S: And Lindsey and I, who had been in a band for three years working together and by then were boyfriend and girlfriend, then we packed up and moved to Los Angeles. When we got to Los Angeles we spent two years, about, maybe – I know I never get this right – we spent some time and we made the Buckingham Nicks album.
S: Okay, now I’ve lost my complete train of thought because I’m so nervous. Okay, so, I think what happened then was that then there was a year that followed that before [???] about Fleetwood Mac and, um, *turns to Lindsey* is this right? I’ve completely, where are we?
L [???]
S: See, every time we try and change something it messes me. Never change anything.
L: That’s what you get for trying to shorten the story
S: I know, I screwed it up now. Okay. Well...
L: Just continue. Continue. It’s good. It’s all good.
S: I try to continue and I’m messed up now. Well, okay, so anyway, the song was lost. And we think somebody stole it out of our house because we made so many hundreds of cassettes and you could just tiptoe in, steal a cassette, copy it at your house, take it back, and we would never even know. That’s what we think happened. And then, of course, we lost it. So the song disappeared into the ethos [sic] until 2010 when some of our friends who ARE on the internet – not me – but some of our friends, found the song. They showed it to me and I’m like ‘Oh my god! How did this song – which I loved so much – get lost?!’ So I took it to Lindsey and said like ‘Look at this song!’ and he’s like ‘Wow, how did that song get lost?’ And I’m thinking ‘are we just stupid? What in the world happened?’ Anyway, so...
S: And Mick always wants to remind me - or at least he did until we had the big talk about this story being too long – that this is one of the...
S: I would first of all like to say thank you to Lindsey for bringing me with him on this ride. And then I would like to say thank you to Mr Mick Fleetwood and Mr John McVie *pause for cheers* and Christine who wishes she was here but is not but she was part of it too. Thank you to all of these boys and that lady for taking me on this amazing, crazy and wild ride that is Fleetwood Mac.

What Was Said
S: This song, we laugh about it every night on the plane [???] the city we’ve just played at.
S: In 1970, probably, I wrote a poem and it was a really beautiful poem about Lindsey and I, who had been in a band for three years and had also been going together for quite a while even by then.
S: And then, in 2010, some friends of ours who were on, you know my favorite thing, ‘YouTube’, found it. Floating around.
S: And we recorded the song and it’s recorded almost exactly the way it was in 1974. Which is great because it’s nice to bring back [???] who we were before this whole thing happened. *to Lindsey* Right? Right. If you wanna jump in here, ‘right’. Just say it: ‘right’.
L: Right. 1974.
S: 1974. So, anyway...
S: Nothing in the words ‘lead guitarist’ says ‘lead guitarist and hippie girlfriend’.

What Was Said
S: And it was probably the most beautiful poem I wrote about the two of us and obviously, as he will talk to you about later about how difficult it became later, it was not difficult when this poem was written. Everything was just easy and beautiful and we were young and crazy and nuts and everything was difficult and hard to do but we were having a great time trying to figure it out together. And that’s what this poem was about.
S: And then this is where I forget where I am in the story... It’s true. Happens every night. So, and then, um, and then... *turns to* Lindsey. Then what happened?
L: *laughs* Um...
S: Can you hear me?
L: Yes, yes. Um, yes, we started the second album. And we were in the early stages of that when we ran into this *SnL point to Mick* guy.
S: Right, well, we didn’t exactly run into him. We were at Sound City doing our record and Mick came out there and heard some songs off the Buckingham Nicks record. He was actually looking for a place to do a record but he was also looking for... *looks at Lindsey* Okay, this is where my story really gets messed up. Really, seriously, I’m just completely screwed now. So, um, okay. Really, I am! I’ve completely *fans self* I’m starting to sweat!!! Alright, okay. Well, anyway, so we recorded a few demos of which this was one. And then Mick Fleetwood heard some of our music and he wants to remind me – THIS is where [???] – to always remind you that one of the things that attracted him to us was the way we sang together as a – I just thought of this the last show – we were kind of like a triangle.
S: Nowhere in the words ‘lead guitarist’ does it say ‘lead guitarist AND hippie girlfriend’. Take it, Lindsey!
L: Wha? Oh. Well, I was very complimented by Mick’s offer but being in love with Stevie and loyal to her I said “Mick, if you take me, you gotta take my girlfriend too.” And I think it worked out okay!
S: So, to wipe the slate clean here and to end the story, I would like to thank my boys up here. First of all, Lindsey Buckingham, thank you for taking me with you into Fleetwood Mac on this wild ride, I would like to thank you, Mr Mick Fleetwood, oh caterpillar of Alice in Wonderland, for asking Lindsey and me – y’know, by proxy – to join your *Lindsey kisses Mick’s upper arm* magnificent band. And I would also like to thank Mr John McVie because I can just hear him in the background saying “Just bring the girl!!!” See, it was really, really long, the story.
