Guitar World
July 2003

Lindsey Buckingham

Guilty Pleasures
A few of his favorite things.
by Vic Garbarini

SONG:
Theme from "A Summer's Place"
Percy Faith
Percy Faith's Greatest Hits (Columbia, 1960)

"I remember being a kid and doing things with my family after dinner as this played on a portable radio. The melody is simple but beautiful, and a little schmaltzy. It still moves me, partly because I'm connected to how I felt about it as a kid."

MOVIE:
City Lights
Directed by Charlie Chaplin
Imagine Entertainment, 1931

"I'd always thought of him as the little tramp with the sped-up walk. It took me a while to get on the wavelength of his old silent movies, but I was in awe of this movie and the number of sketches in which the detail and invention are so rich. It blows me away."

BOOK:
Chaplin His Life & Art
by David Robinson
McGraw-Hill, 1987

"I read this not long after I left Fleetwood Mac in the late Eighties. I was looking for the strength to move forward. Chaplin took many aspects of his creative process in his own hands and fought to get things done the way he envisioned them. Plus he constantly reinvented himself. His example gave me the courage to get myself going again."
