Lindsey's guitar pic?

My favorite guess was LBTI: Lindsey Buckingham/Tuggle International.

I like it!

But it's wrong...

I came up with Lindsey Buckingham Totally Insane. But it was also wrong

I bet Buckingham and T.I. (the rap artist) went halfsies on a gross of picks to save a little ki-zash. Unfortunately the "pick plant" but both their initials on there...

Eh. A little. Just strange. Turner 1 makes more sense. I guess I think I could have come up with something better. I mean, I would prefer whatever his latest album is. There's a million possibilities.

well, it's like "Buckingham Records" - just hard facts. i like "Mind Kit Records" much better.

if it would be named after whatever the latest album is he'd have to incorporate anew every time he tours/issues an album. not practical i'd imagine.

Nah - the cost is zilch and selling 'em at the merch table would offset any you'd give away. It would be good promotion in my retail opinion to get new picks. But, he probably would sell more if he actually did use a pick! LOL.

On the current design, I really think his signature on the back would be really cool and make more sense. Not that it matters...

ah, you are talking about actual picks. no i meant LBTI must be the name of his touring company including the band and the crew - as that name so unequivocally states

of course, half of those picks are apparently actually NIN picks anyway

Oh! I think that's just a goofy thing they came up with - which was why I thought it was weird. The "touring company" is contracted out. Bus drivers, truck drivers, roadies all work for companies that LB pays, not "Lindsey Buckingham Touring Incorporated." Even the band members are basically independent contractors when you get down to it. They usually have to pay them a retainer to put them on hold for the next tour. For instance, Jana was not hired to go out on Stevie's IYD tour, but she is on retainer for the next Mac tour...

you might be right. what you describe is what i always just assumed it would be done (not that i ever thought about it much!), but after i saw what LBTI is supposed to stand for, incorporating in order to run all that would make just as much sense to me. obviously, i know nothing about running a business and am happy i don't have to.

Too much liability. They contract it out. But, I understand your reasoning. Even acts who make gazillions don't do what you're describing totally. There are so many pieces of the pie and people who get a cut, it's crazy.

can't you incorporate a business which would be contracting out? like you can hire a contractor to renovate your house and he might actually do nothing but oversee and get permits, contract out a plumber, an electrician, and architect, carpenter, etc, and get that all together and running.

i've heard somebody saying long time ago that if you run any kind of business, even if it's just you doing all the work, you'd want to consider incorporating, one of the reasons being that if it goes bankrupt then it's the business that goes bankrupt, and not you personally. obviously i'm very naive and just curious about all this...
