[Karen]

Another album? That's wonderful news!!

[wondergirl9847]

PeaceMAKER!! LOL I just KNOW that Livia whispered "PeaceKEEPER" to him!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[Bella Figura]

yes, not a bad interview, the dj asked some really good questions, thanks to Livia!!I hope Livia gets to say hello privately!! and tells him to check out the Ledge!!

[Karen]

Thanks, Livia! That was a nice interview. It's so good to hear his voice, even if it's over the phone.

So, how cold is it in New York? They might have to bundle up during the performance on Friday.

[wondergirl9847]

Thanks for telling us about this and CONGRATS on getting to listen in...I can't wait to hear your account of being there and if you got to chat with Lindsey!!!!!!

BTW, my 2,000th post!!

[Bella Figura]

it's quite cool here today, we had two days in the 80's and then today we're down to the 40's again with some rain on the way. Tommorow it'll be a little warmer in the 50's but a good possibility of rain, so FM just might be miserable in Rockerfeller Plaza tommorow especially since they're from CA!!

LOL! The 40's is very cold when you come from a more tropical climate. I'm a Florida girl, and I thought it was way too cold when I lived in Virginia. Isn't it also very windy in the Plaza? Oh, I hope they have a canopy or something (if it rains), but I doubt that they'll do that just for them. I don't think they've done that before.

I hope you're staying warm.

I missed the interview, Can someone give the highlights for it (Livia??)?...Brian J.

ps-Congrats Christy on 2000!!!

[gypsysara]

Im in Cali... can someone tell me more about the interview, what questions were asked, etc??

Inquiring minds wanna know!

[Livia]

And my hands are still shaking! I am so freaked out I can barely type...yes, I got to talk to him, BRIEFLY, after the interview...

Well, first of all, they started an hour late - not really sure why at first, we thought they had their time zones mixed up. They FINALLY called the "hotline," which is actually a red phone, and just said they were running late and asked if we were already on the air. Byran told them that the current song playing was about to end, they asked how much time we needed, Bryan said 5 minutes, they said, "Okay, 'cause that's all we can give you, anyway." It was VERY fast!

Bryan already had his own list of questions, and being that it is HIS show, afterall, I couldn't exactly force him to ask mine. However, I did give him a list of the "top 10" from the Ledge. He liked the new technology question, so that was the only one he asked on the air.

Damn, if LB could just have given SHORTER answers, we would have had time to ask more questions!

I'm gonna jump around here a bit and skip to the end. I asked LB, off the air, what Red Rover is about. This is gonna blow your minds! He said that he imagined a set of Greek Gods looking down on earth, on the human race, watching us be self-destructive and wondering what we were going to do next. And should the Gods pull the plug on the human race? It was wild! I'm sorry I don't remember verbatim, I was jotting down notes as fast as I could while he was talking, but that was basically it.

Let me get caught up here at work for a second and eat my lunch and I'll post more.

[wondergirl9847]

*bowing to the greatness that is LIVIA*

OMG, GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU for asking what Red Rover was about, you FRICKIN RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREEK GODS!!!!!! MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WIERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to go listen to it AGAIN for the trazillionth time to put that interp in there!! LOL

CONGRATS again on getting to sit in and TALK TO LINDSEY!!!!!!!!

HURRY UP AND EAT, WE need more info!! LOL Just kidding, DON'T CHOKE!!

This is sooooo exciting that a Ledgie got to talk to Lindsey!!!!!!! YAY LIVIA!!!!!!

[Livia]

MSCAE in Murrow is simply "free association," he couldn't come right out and say MSNBC, for example.

[wondergirl9847]

He DID make it up then!! COOL!!!! LIVIA, MY GOSH, YOU ROCK for asking him these questions!!!!

My question to you...how did you stay calm talking to Lindsey!?!??! LOL I would have been biting my knuckle going..OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!!! LOL

[Livia]

Christy, your enthusiasm is cracking me up, girl!

Okay, as soon as the interview ended and they played Peacekeeper, Bryan asked if LB could spare (me a little) a couple more minutes to talk to a fan who was in the studio. He said okay, but it had to be quick. I said hello, that I loved the album and they should all be very proud of it, and pleeeease don't make us wait another 16 years for more new material. He laughed and said, "We won't, I promise." I asked him if he gets online much and is he aware of the various Mac sites and message boards? He said no and that he doesn't really know much about them. I said, "Well, on behalf of my friends online, I just have a couple quick questions about some of your songs, what's Red Rover about?" He answered (see above), and then when I started to ask about MSCAE in Murrow, I said, "And another quick question (he interrupted, "Okay, but it really has to be quick")...about Murrow.." and he interrupted me AGAIN and went into a 30-second explanation about the song and when he finally finished, I got the MSCAE blurb in there, and he answered that. He said he had to go, and was looking forward to the tour. I said thanks and good-bye and that was it!

Oh yeah, they gave me a cool, cobalt blue coffee mug that says "The Year of Fleetwood Mac" on it too!

Wow, that does give us a whole new perspective about this song. Especially the part about "Red Rover, We've come to take you over." LOL!! That is so funny!
