Some things never change, but "6-footer?" really? Generous much? Lindsey is 5 foot 10 if that.

This time Buckingham had a splendid 10-man band behind him, one he called a family. Fleetwood Mac was a family, too, he said, but a dysfunctional one.

This guy calls it "splendid" the other one says "pointless." You win some you lose some...

Those who saw Buckingham last March at Peabody's DownUnder in the Flats may not have recognized him from his stage moves Thursday. He read poetry before some of his songs, jumped about the stage, fell down over guitarist Janet Robin and wound up at curtain call carried by Robin and guitarist Lisa Carve.

WTF? Am I reading correctly or is this some kind of strange journalism diction? He fell on that little woman? MmmK.

He may have tried too hard. The poetry particularly wasn't the right touch for this hit-oriented crowd.

Oh STFU. I love Lindsey's little Go Insane poem, you crazy-speaking freak. Screw the "hit-oriented" crowd. It's Cleveland. We could use some diversity in the arts.

**Incidentally: when I saw LB in Chicago, 2007 he got pissy faced when people were talking loudly over one of his speeches. It's good to see he expects more respect these days as opposed to trying something new.
