Meanwhile, Buckingham was just getting started, saying, "Kenny, hey, Kennnnny! Man, love your makeup! Really, you look great, cowboy!" Rogers elected not to fight.

LOL. Kenny Rogers.

Fleetwood Mac Did Drugs!
James Joyner @ Gone Hollywood | Monday, July 2, 2007

It must be a slow news day at Page 6, which is touting the news that Lindsey Buckingham got drunk and stoned when he was fronting the rock and roll band Fleetwood Mac in the 1970s!

Um, wasn’t it pretty widely known back then that the Fleetwood Mac gang was doing drugs? Indeed, the list of prominent 1970s rock bands not doing drugs would likely be countable on one hand without resorting to the use of the thumb. Or three of the fingers.

So, let’s get this straight: A drunk rock star made fun of Kenny Rogers?!

And that Rogers, at the time a mature man of 40 perhaps most famous for “The Gambler” and “Coward of the County,” which counseled the need to know “when to walk away and when to run” and “Walk away from trouble if you can,” respectively, didn’t decide this was worth getting into a fistfight at the Grammy’s, isn’t exactly earth shattering news, either.

I have to admit, whenever I look back on Lindsey during his Tusk days, whether MTV interviews/appearances or just general body language on stage with FM in old videos, he does exude a prick-ish vibe about him. I sense that when the big fame hit, he went majorly mental, and was generally a first class rock star asshole. He also began having epileptic seizures which must have been triggered by the drugs, the hectic pace of fast living and major stress. His demons came out in full force.

I sense the man is horribly sorry today. I bet he has learned many painful lessons throughout the years, and has healed to the point where he probably doesn't wish to revisit those darks days. If he did, he'd probably projectile vomit. Oh wait, he already did that.

I love your insight, (but more importantly your sense of humor!) It makes me smile.
