Buckingham's Dictionary

[markiearlene]

I'm always at odds with myself over Lindsey's language. On one hand, I understand the value of a couple words with zip sprinkled here and there. But to sound Buckingham-esque here: he can be a little superfluous a times to say the least. Honestly, would Lindsey be half the persona we follow if he didn't speak like he does? I don't know him as a person, so I can't sit here and say I respect him as such. I respect him as an artist most definitely. If he can play guitar like he does, maybe there's some leeway for him to be as pompous as he is. If I were sitting back right before Tusk came out and had to bet on which FM member would have the most success solo wise, I would of said Lindsey over Stevie in an instant. And look at the outcome. . . From an emotional standpoint, I'd be using language and then some just because I'd want my fair share of respect as well. The long and the short of it: I sincerely don't believe you get to be where Lindsey is today in regards to his artwork without a big head and a bigger dictionary by his side.
