I remember Lindsey was totally talking about Stevie and just being semi evil about it. Back then he cared much less how he came off.

Hmm! What exactly did he say? I've never seen this interview and am intrigued!

Now he must be polite etc. His wife must really be tired of hearing about Stevie.

I hope I get to catch this interview someday. It seems I miss everything

Ask around and maybe someone can make a copy for you of last night's show. You can also check Charlie's site as they have copies to buy but I'd bet someone can get you a copy and in the mean time Tracy has it up at Burnish.net. Thank you Tracy



Lindsey was in that agitated state he was in for all the Go Insane interviews. He was wired and almost twitching, talk about Lindsey at his weirdest. It was a great interview and Charlie was a fan back then too and knew about Lindsey's behind the scene's talents, when no one else seemed to care.

......I was surprised how whiney, swishy, gay-like Buckingham sounded when he was interviewed by Rose. Kinda like a classical musician. Was he like this in '84, too? He looks so macho on stage......

Nicks always sounds so butch in her interviews, quite mannish, actually. But on stage she looks feminine.

What good actors they both are......

I am really shocked........

Now there's a new take on Lindsey and Stevie,

I've never heard anyone say Lindsey was swishy gay-like and I have to admit I'm rolling about Stevie sounding butch.


Oh, in 84 he was actually quite agitated and twitchy, does that make him butch or gay swishy...not that there's anything wrong with that! LOL

...when Buck prolongs the syllables in his words it sounds effeminate to me.....like "yeah-es....." along with the excessive eye-blinking "packaged deal." He used to wear eye makeup I see, when only "questionable" musicians were wearing it. (Jagger, who slept with Bowie, etc.)

...when Nicks on the radio is sandwiched in between clear-voices of....let's say..Nora Jones and Faith Hill.....she sounds masculine...and ancient! In interviews for SAY YOU WILL she sounds mannish. Not just "alto," but "bass." She has an extremely low voice, rather than just deep and sexy.

I didn't get any of that stuff. I thought Lindsey was more relaxed and happier than he's been in any other tv interview we've seen in a long time but I don't see him being anymore effeminate than he is normally. As for the makeup, I think it was meant as an artistic statement and was part of the entire look he was going for at that time with his clothes and hair. I don't understand, are you trying to say he's sleeping with other men because he was wearing eye makeup? I'm serious, I'm really confused by that analogy. BTW, he wears makeup now for his tv and stage appearances, but it's more subtle and most men in entertainment have to wear it.

As for Stevie, she's always had a deep voice and I only find it funny about refering to her as butch since she's considered and is so feminine and girly, it's hard to think of her as anything else but feminine

This is enlightening.
She sounds sexy to me.
I must have an identity crisis. I guess I'm gay & never knew it.
It's like they always say, G-d invented Adam and Eve, not Adam and Stevie.
And I'm looking forward to Butch Angel, her upcoming album.

Another thread slips into the realm of the absurd.

I like Stevie's talking voice. It's never bothered me. As for Lindsey, he is disarmingly charming when he speaks. I'm sure he catches a lot of interviewers by surprise the first time. And if he wants to wear mascara again, go for it.

I totally disagree, actually. I don't think the interview was particularly good for a variety of reasons. One was that Lindsey was totally uncomfortable doing it via satellite, having to look into the camera lense in some remote studio rather than talk to Charlie face to face. It also wasn't very good because I didn't think Charlie was conducting a particularly good interview. He asked Lindsey several questions about Stevie, often interrupting Lindsey before Lindsey could finish an answer, but which Lindsey tried to answer fairly quickly and, as I recall, fairly diplomatically. Then Charlie threw out an -- "Aren't you jealous?!" -- question at him. I didn't think he was evil at all, despite the just plain rudeness of the question. He said Stevie worked very hard for her success and that, no, he wasn't particularly jealous because they both defined success differently and worked toward their own separate goals.

Just my memory of it.

Really?! How lame! My respect for Charlie Rose just went down a notch.

Of course this is just your opinion and not necessarily the opinion of everyone else.

Hey Les,

I didn't mean that Lindsey WAS evil, he just was sly--I can't describe it. He had this evil grin most of the time I do remember that.

He described he and Stevie as great lovers but as competitors and when Rose asked if he was jealous, I honestly can't remember his answer.

Lindsey had every right to wear the expression he did, but now-a -days he would handle things so much differently.

I have alot of 1984 footage, most of it Lindsey just seems on edge and not terribly happy. The Pee Wee Big Top premiere he is happy but everything else he seems nervous and just tired of hearing the same thing...Stevie...Fleetwood Mac...and in one interview when they asked " any plans for FM" and he was like " none at all!" He was not amused.

He is a different man now and back then its just uneasy for ME to watch him be how he is --but its mostly understandable because he was going through alot.

I haven't seen this interview ( now I can---thanks, plus you can order the video for $30) but Im sure he just carries himself differently.

As for Stevie's "butch" voice, she still is ultra feminine. I mean she probably burps and makes noises like all of us, but as low as her voice maybe and as light hearted as her conversation can be, and as silly as she can get, I can't imagine her being crude, too much girlie in her!

WHY? He had the gall to ask what other lame interviewers wouldn't ask. That's what I like about Charlie: he asks good questions and doesn't give a rats ass how the guest feels about the questions.

The interview from the other night wasn't particularly good, but it was a million times better than a ****ty "Did the success of Rumours catch you off-guard?" Dateline interview. It was a missed opportunity indeed.

As for Stevie being butch and Lindsey being feminine, 4buck has a problem with overanalyzing things. It's absurd and ridiculous and very off-putting to people who like posting. How pathetic.
