Is Jessica still keeping up with Lindsey's official Web site?

"Keeping up with it" how? Putting someone in charge of a Lindsey buckingham website is like hiring someone to watch paint dry.

Or, ice melt.

It's like splashing paint on a canvas...

Running a Lindsey Buckingham website is a lot like painting, whereas running a Fleetwood Mac website is more like movie-making.

Of course she is, as if she'd ever stop.

There just really isn't anything to update at the moment.

Or since late 2004.

She should use the down time to add more articles & photos. Besides which, there is always the past to track down, verify & present. An official site should serve as, among other things, a research tool for fans. Sadly, none of the official FM-related sites serve even adequately for this purpose.

She's been working on the discography, adding sections for guest appearances and such. But, like the rest of us, Jessica is a regular person who has to balance that project with work, school, and a personal life. What would be highest on your list of priorities - A website for a man who isn't exactly the most prolific musician out there, or your own life? I know what my answer would be.

Besides, it is always a struggle for her to get updates/improvements made because everything must first be approved by Lindsey's management.

"been working on"?

Which is precisely why that site makes such a poor research tool: management neither knows nor cares what day Lindsey appeared on Saturday Night Live. So if Jessica has to wait for clearance from management to put up a note that says "Lindsey played Bwana & Trouble on SNL on March 5, 1982," she'll be waiting forever.

It's back to the Penguin, I guess! Here's a site that can post a date for an SNL appearance without having to obtain "clearance" through some asinine bureaucracy. Such a setup is infinitely more beneficial to fans who want to actually know things than the "official site" method.

Occassionally, I would look at the website but became bored with seeking the updates/sections that never materialized. I am pleased the equipment section was finally assembled.

EDIT: Since David is on-board I have grammatically modified my post! No doubt it is still "incorrect!"
This is fun, especially considering there are innumerable variations of what is/isn't "correct!" I could modify this post for days...perhaps weeks on end!

Now that equipment section is a VERY interesting section that was added to this official site. I was very impressed. Can you imagine John Klinney doing such a thing on his official site? haahaaaahahaaa!!!

John Kinney's site used to be great... until it became official.
Jessica's site used to be great... until it became official.

I used to think it was a great injustice that The Penguin wasn't made the official Mac site that time, but now I'm thankful it wasn't.

Miss Vicky · #15 05-20-2006, 03:24 PM

Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen an official website that was really worth a damn. Most of them are focused almost exclusively on what is happening with the artist now (and many of them don't even have so much as a discography!), which means that the sites often remain stagnant for long periods of time. It seems that a lot of them are run by people who are nothing more than professional site designers with no real interest in the music of the given artist. Obviously, that's not the case with Jessica, but she can only do so much with the restraints his management puts on her and you can't blame her for that.
