I'd have to go back and listen to the album all the way through

Well, I think Diane falls into that category, harkening back to a music era that has passed. Music that inspired a young Buckingham.

Thinking of the album, how come we never discuss Book of Love? That song never comes up in anything. Maybe they should sing that on this tour, just because it's completely forgotten.
