I think it's safe to assume that Howard will have a low threshold for conversation invoking little/big machines, complex emotional histories, cycles and painting; that will stop after 30 seconds. After lathering him up extensively and marveling over his immensely successful career, he will touch on the following:

-Howard will verify with Fred that Lindsey is one of the best guitarists in the world.
-Howard will ask him if he's seen Mick Fleetwood's "tusk."
-Howard will ask him how many chicks he's b@nged.
-Howard will approximate his net worth.
-Howard will congratulate Lindsey on staying with Fleetwood Mac and lament over the many, many other rock stars who fade into obscurity after walking away from successful situations.
-Howard will cajole Lindsey into playing an old Fleetwood Mac song.
-Howard will ask to smell Lindsey's fingers.
-Oh, and Howard will ask about every intimate detail about Stevie Nicks' anatomy. It's practically unavoidable.

I can guarantee you that this interview will be historic. Howard will squeeze information out of Lindsey that nobody has ever heard before. I simply cannot wait for this interview!!!!

Add to Hejira's list, SOMETHING that touches on Anne Heche. Lindsey's already said plenty about her..

I don't know if this interview will be particularly insightful, though.. You know Lindsey is one of the best question dodgers and spin artists of our time. I think Howard's the one who'll get bored with the variation on "no comment". For example, how about, "Howard, I think it would be respectful to some of our musical contempories if I declined the comment on that one.", except, 30 times..

We'll see. If Howard gets something new without being insanely crass.. so be it, we'll take it.

Or -- "Well, uh..." drawn out for several non committal seconds.

Excellent! You clearly understand the machinations of Howard! I love it!

This is true. Lindsey always likes to smirk, lower his eyes, turn his head and imply things. He doesn't need Howard to goad him. It's like with everyone asking him about Under the Skin (the song) and whether it was Stevie who had trouble getting from point A to point B. He indicated that it was. If Howard brings up Sheryl Crow, Lindsey will have a great time fanning that flame too. It's not that he'll say a lot. He'll just say a few enigmatic, but still insulting things.

I'd prefer he not talk about Stevie, Christine, Anne, CAH or Sheryl. If he says something untoward, it will be reprinted everywhere. The conflict stirred up will be unsavory.

Let him talk about Mick and John and women he's dated whom no one cares about.

It really was a great post!

Would Howard go so far as to talk about the coke up the butt rumor?

Yes. See there. Stevie and Lindsey have been getting along well lately. I don't need her running around talking about palm trees hitting him in the head again.

What's this? I must have missed

When Stevie was exasperated after the SYW tour she said something along the lines that she would leave so fast that the palm trees would hit Lindsey in the head.

I was thinking about Howard last night and I can imagine that he might say something negative about Christine. Hejira, I can hear him say something about "man hands" in fact. Feeling nervous.

[Spikey]

Some more excellent points made..

So, does anyone know WHEN the interview is? (i.e., when the s hits the f?)

I think it will be more like "what's her deal? Why doesn't she want to play with you guys anymore? Does she hate your f*cking guts?"

[gilby]

I listen to Howard frequently. I won't be surprised if he asks Lindsey Buckingham about anal because he asks that frequently to guests to keep them on their toes. Howard won't put up with Lindseyisms and will ask things that will make Lindsey blush so hard we will feel it over the radio waves.

Totally.

Lindsey can get quite easily sucked into the "wolf pack" mentality, as one of the male counselors I used to work with used to call it. He did when on Charlie Rose (whom I can't stand) on PBS promoting Under the SKin ( I think.. maybe it was GOS). Anyway, Charlie was CLEARLY not a fan of Stevie and made some disparaging remarks (to the effect of, was she at ground zero on 9/11? So then why does she act/write songs like she was so affected by it? --- which is so absurd from the get-go it's pathetic......and LB just did exactly what someone said... the tilting of the head, the smirk, the "yeah I know" kinda look w/out actually saying the words...I wanted to smack him.

[WildHearted]

Well..

I am looking forward to an escape from the confines of the standard interview, where Lindsey can just retell the spiels again and again, and instead get some new, interesting questions.

That said, I hope he answers the questions (some of which are bound to be scandalous) with tact. I was looking forward to a potential FM get together next year, after all.
