And the press begins...

Don’t be sure any answers will be forthcoming, not that the hosts will ask the tough questions. My assumption is four or five managers laid out a pretty tight script and dog and pony show.

That would be my assumption too. Just a promotional appearance to get the ball rolling on the tour. That's all these things ever are.

[gldstwmn]

Are they performing?

[bwboy]

It says it's an interview, so I doubt they will perform. I also think it will be a pre-taped profile piece.

[secondhandchain]

I am so done with this band. What a nightmare. Vom.

[AncientQueen]

I absolutely cannot muster even the slightest spark of interest in this mess, no matter how hard I try. This is just unworthy.

[Dr.Brown]

Can't help but think of Pink Floyd's Money whenever I think of this band now.

The music pairs well with Paper Doll - just mute the sound on the Fleetwood Mac video:

And play the Pink Floyd (music runs a bit longer than the FM vid):

We wish you all the best!

[Kubrick2788]

I would love to hear them do Paper Doll on the tour

[onlynow]

During which half hour do u think they will appear on the show? I am guessing they show entertainers toward the end? Thanks!

I agree with this. It is safer, besides, it is in keeping with what they've tended to do in the past-- have different interviewers record pieces in whatever soundstage where they are rehearsing. It saves the band a lot of running around and makes scheduling easier to just have a day or two where all the interviewers come to them rather than them going all over.

I guarantee there were managers etc standing right out of camera range ready to nip any untoward questions right in the bud.

It' going to be nothing but fluff piece per the bands demands. Mark my words. Barely a mention of LB leaving. Stevie is going to do all the talking and will be in her glory because Lindsey is gone and a Heartbreaker is in the band. BARF

Yes, I'm sure you're right... much the same way it was when Christine and Lindsey were interviewed by CBS last year. Or during the print interview Lindsey gave in which his agent or manager or somebody intervened when the interviewer asked why Stevie wasn't on the Buck Vie album. As you said, nipping any untoward questions right in the bud. The band members are all cut from the same cloth.

It is definitely safer for the band to do a pre-taped piece, but also more practical. The band is rehearsing and getting ready for their tour, plus unless John or Christine are specifically asked a question, they won't say a word. I imagine the same might be true of Mike, so I'm glad the interview will be pre-taped. It guarantees we'll hear something from each member.

Can't wait for the interview & coming to the Ledge to read about your takes on it.
I hope we get at least a little impression of what went down.
I mostly have been on the Stevie side of the Mac, but having played the guitar for many years, I must say Lindsey holds a special part of my heart as well. I feel like my parents got divorced and I don't know which side I shall support.

I say... support them both, if you're so inclined. Doesn't have to be exclusive.
