What Was Said

S: And they found the song floating around on YouTube. So I’m really giving YouTube one thumbs up on that. There’s the song. I show it to Lindsey and I go ‘Can you believe we never showed it to Fleetwood Mac? Or recorded it? Anything, nothing?’ And he said ‘Well, I had forgotten the song ever existed also.’ And I said ‘Well, do you remember it now?’ And he says ‘Well, yeah, I’m playing on it so I guess that must be me.’ So we decided to record it.

S: So the end of this whole story is – and any time you wanna jump in, Lindsey, just jump in –
L: *gestures*
S: I know. I lose like my whole train of thought. So anyway, Mick Fleetwood, when HE heard the song...

S: So. Okay, now, you can take it from here.
L: Who, me?
S: Yeah, you.
L: Oh. Well, let’s see. Oh, Mick actually, he did call me and he said “Lindsey?” And I said “Yes, Mick?” Really I didn’t. I’d only met this guy once so... He said “Would you like to join Fleetwood Mac?” And I said “Well, Mick, if you take me, you’re going to have to take my girlfriend too!” *Lindsey walks over to Stevie at her mic and they lean in close for a brief embrace/conversation* *Lindsey walks back to his mic*
S: Fact checking.
L: What checking?
S: Fact.
L: Fact?
S: Fact.
L: *mock incredulous* As if there was any doubt?
S: ??? *laughs*
L: Sheesh. No. I said that because I loved you so much [???] And I think it worked out okay!
S: So, the end of the story is that I would like to thank my boys up here for different, for things. I’d like to take Lindsey for taking me with him into Fleetwood Mac. Thank you. *Stevie bows to him* I’m forever grateful. Being a waitress was getting old, old, old. I’d like to thank Mr Mick Fleetwood for taking both Lindsey and I on his Alice in Wonderland wild ride through the centuries. And I’d also like to thank Mr John McVie because I know that even though he doesn’t say much, back there in the distance John probably said to Mick ‘Just take the girl!’ Thank you, John.

What Was Said

S: ...we were opening for all these great bands. And we were [???] the life [???] struggling musicians. And all money from my parents had been withdrawn when I stopped going to college so we were starting to be poor. But I wrote this poem and it was about Lindsey and I. It was probably the nicest, most beautiful thing I ever wrote about the two of us and he almost gets a little angry with me, I think, when he says ‘Well, it was just because it was the very beginning’ and that’s not true. It was because it was this beautiful romantic time and you can’t get around the fact that the world was romantic that we lived in; it was a beautiful , musical, romantic world. And we were part of it.

S: So we lived in a house full of cassettes. The house of cassettes. Everything we did was put on cassette. The cassette of the song was thrown somewhere and got lost.

S: 2010. Some of my friends are on my least favourite thing in the world – YouTube – and they find my song, Lindsey’s and my song, floating around and they bring it in and go ‘look, there’s this great song’ and I’m like *hands on hips* ‘Hmm. That’s the song that we, three times it’s been lost.’ And now it’s found. Who took it? We’ll never know. But I took it to Lindsey and said ‘So, what do you think?’ and he goes ‘well, I remember this song and I’m playing on it and it’s a well done, beautifully made demo if I do say so myself’ and, um, I said ‘well, I think we should record it’ and he said ‘Okay’. So we were getting ready to do some recording anyway so we went to his house, this is at the end of last year, and we recorded the song.

S: So, I’m going to let Lindsey, who is starting to look really bored over there, take the story from there. Take it, Lindsey!
L: Who, me? Um, let’s see.
S: Attracted to...
L: Attracted to...
S: The lead guitarist...
L: The lead guitarist. Hmm. Oh! Okay. Um, yes.
S: *away from mic, watching, a hand on hip and tapping fingers on stomach waiting*
L: Mick *Stevie points to Mick* in fact, who I’d only met once *Stevie shrugs*, did call me and he said ‘Ah, Lindsey?’ I said ‘Yes, Mick’ *Stevie mimes talking on telephone* He said ‘Would you like to join *Stevie mimes playing guitar* Fleetwood Mac?’ And of course, being the extremely *Stevie shakes head mock wearily at audience* loyal person that I am *Stevie holds hands up, rolls eyes and buries lowered head in hands* I said, ‘Well, Mick, yes but you’re going to have to take my girlfriend too!’ *Stevie bows* Is that what I was supposed to say?
S: It’s all good. The story goes back to me. So... This is why you don’t really want to know me. So. Uh uh. Okay. I’m having a senior moment. Okay. Alright. So I want to thank all the three men up here [???] for changing my life. In so many, many ways. First of all I would like to thank Lindsey Buckingham for taking me with him into Fleetwood Mac. Thank you [???]. Second of all, I would like to thank Mr Mick Fleetwood for taking both of us on his magical Alice in Wonderland trip through Never Never Land. And letting me give notice at my waitress job. Thank you, Mick. I will never, ever forget [???]. Third of all, thirdly, I would like to thank Mr John McVie, the most handsomest bass player ever. Because I think he was probably standing in the background somewhere and he just said to Mick ‘Just take the girl!’ I know he said. You did say that, didn’t you? *John shakes his head* You didn’t say that? *tries to mimic John* ‘Yes, of course I did!’ So, anyway – you know what, these people are not [???] – so the end of the story is we’re going to play the song for you.

The "fact checking" part was one of the funniest bits of the whole tour.

As far as Stevie saying Lindsey said he'd forgotten it ever existed, Lindsey said, "and I remembered it perfectly" when he was talking about the song in another interview.

But the way she tells it, if he actually said "that's me playing" that sounds like an evasive way of saying, "I don't really remember it."

What Was Said

S: So it’s twice as long as the song that we’re going to play that’s getting this introduction so I’m going to try and be like a teacher – I did go to school for five years to be a teacher. So I’m going to try and focus. In 1970 there was a girl – me – who wrote a poem, a beautiful poem about Lindsey and me.

S: ...at the end of last year. And when we recorded it – he looks bored but he’s not. he’s enjoying this; he told me so – so Mick said...

S: So. This is always where I throw it over to Lindsey even though he doesn’t really want it. The end? [???]
L: Are you throwing it over to me?
S: I’m throwing it over to you now. *mimes throwing*
L: And, uh, let’s see. Well, you don’t always throw it over to me [???].
S: Well, I *gives up and turns away from mic*
L: Okay. Let’s see. Oh, yes, so, yes, she is right. Mick, we had met Mick only once and he had heard one or two of our songs. And about two weeks later I get a call from Mick saying ‘Lindsey’ and I say ‘Yes, Mick’. ‘Would you like to join Fleetwood Mac?’ he says. And I say ‘Well, Mick *laughs* if you take me *Lindsey points to himself*, you gotta take my girlfriend *Lindsey points to Stevie* too!’ *Stevie points to self*That’s what I call loyalty, baby [???].
S: He’s throwing it back to me now. Okay.
L: But, but, but -
S: But -
L: No, no, no, I mean, clearly it worked out.
S: So then I would like to take this moment to thank the boys. To thank Lindsey for saying to Mick ‘I can’t join your band and be lead guitarist if you don’t take my girlfriend.’ Thank you, Lindsey. *Lindsey blows her a kiss as she bows to him* I’d like to thank Mick Fleetwood for asking him and then me, both of us, to join this crazy band of crazy mad dogs [???] and Englishmen that went on a 37 year trip and ride. Thank you so much, Mick, for that. And then I’d like to thank John McVie, my favourite bass player in the world, for just going along with the whole thing and said ‘just bring the girl’.

Went to school for five years to be a teacher.

This "throwing it over" bit was pretty funny.

What Was Said

S: 2010 comes rolling along, 100 hundred years later, and some friends of mine come to me and say, well, there’s this great song and it’s on, oh yes you guessed it, YouTube. My song. Gone from the world, on YouTube. So whoever stole it and copied it, somehow through the waves of time, there it was. So I took the song to Lindsey and said “Listen to this!” And he’s like “Wow, that’s Without You” and I’m like “Yes, it is and we should record it.” And so we did.

S: Nowhere in the words ‘lead guitarist’ does it say ‘lead guitarist and his hippie girlfriend’. Not to mention that they already had a girl in the band. So strikes were not good. I mean, it was not in my favour. So, anyway, at this point I’d like to throw it over to *laughs* George Burns. *Stevie does throwing motion* *Lindsey points to self and then between them* Let’s do that again.
L: Are we going to do George and Gracie again?
S: We are going to do George and Graci-
L: Can’t we be somebody a little younger?
S: ??? pretty funny.
L: Yeah, we’re closing in on them
S: We’re closing in
L: Yeah, we are
S: When the music is gone...
L: We can do comedy
S: Do comedy
L: Yeah
S: Okay, so take it, Lindsey!
L: Me? Oh. Well, yes, yes. As you say, it didn’t look good for you, did it? *laughs**Stevie doing cleaning motions – sweeping etc* But... A couple of weeks later – And we’d only met Mick once; he’d heard one of our songs, really, in the studio. And a couple of weeks later we got this call, or I got this call. He says “Lindsey?” “Yes, Mick.” “Lindsey, would you like to join Fleetwood Mac?” I said “Well, uh, Mick.” “Yes, Lindsey?” “If you take me, you gotta take my girlfriend too.” *Stevie does prayerful bowing motion* *Stevie bows to Lindsey* *Lindsey lowers his voice, almost whispering* That, that’s looove. *Lindsey touches his chest*
S: Alright, it’s probably nine minutes already. So, to end our story *Lindsey checks watch* our beautiful story, uh, I would like to thank these men for, each one of them for a special thank you. Lindsey, thank you for telling Mick that you would not join Fleetwood Mac without me. Mick Fleetwood – for asking Lindsey and I join your wild Alice in Wonderland ride through the ???. And Mr, Mr John McVie for ??? the girl in the band, his wife. So he was, had to stand back and say “Okay, well I guess you can just bring the girl”. Thank you, John. *John tips hat*

[michelej1]

I really laughed when he said, "it didn't look good for you did it."

Once again, I want to wage an objection on behalf of George and Gracie. They were YOUNGER than Lindsey and Stevie when they were a comedy duo.

Stevie and Lindsey aren't closing in, they are already over the hill.

SnL look younger than Burns & Allen...

I think the closing in refers to their routine, not their age. Still funny stuff.
