Lindsey Buckingham with Limited* Autographed Booklet

It's been a while since I wrote here, but I had to get in on this.

The Emily Dickinson poem from which the phrase "gift of screws" comes suggests the product of art is the result of hard work. If an artist were hard at work, would he or she not be exhausted and look pretty frazzled? The photos for this album support this--he looks like he's been hard at work!

Exactly! I love the picture. LOVE his new shorter, lighter do! I think Lindsey is trying to portray that he's older, wiser, tireder (is that a word ). Sort of a mad genius. Maybe alittle "screwy", hence the title. As far as doing the nice pose, leather jacket, holding guitar, looking all perfect and all, he's been there, done that. He's just trying to do something different

Eh. Lindsey does what he does.

If he wants to sell something that screams "depressing songs! Within!" that's good. If he wants the average person to make the connection between his work of art, and some long-dead poet's subtext, that's cool.

I still don't like the picture, though;-)
