Happy birthday TUSK

[Villavic]

And today marks 47 years. A whole lifetime.

I have not read Ken’s book Get Tusked, but after asking Google it answered about the (already known by us) decision of Lindsey about a different sound far from Rumours; it also said Ken wrote about “Buckingham’s aggressive stance derailed any chance of recording a safe follow-up to Rumours”. And “how the band members behaved like adolescents in the studio amid internal soap operas, drug use (including heavy cocaine and pot culture), and general dysfunction”. If anyone has read the book, please share whether Ken said it that way or in what context.

Then I found this 2019 interview where Ken talks about the dichotomy between the distortion, anger and rebellion of Lindsey’s songs, and the most beautiful guitar work he’s ever done… on the girl’s songs.

I guess when Ken said Beautiful Child and Sisters of the Moon background vocals are very Beach Boy-esque, he doesn’t mean the songs sound like the BB, but they were recorded in a similar technical way to Pet Sounds.

It’s a long and interesting interview. For those who has not read Get Tusked, there is a lot of information here.
