With Lindsey being a founding member of FM, I don't think the Smiley staff has updated his introduction since the last time he was on the show.

People should distinguish between fans and the audience. Fans do want new material. Everyone who claims he really likes GYOW is not necessarily a fan. But when Lindsey made that comment, I think he was talking about making peace with the fact that the record company was not interested in new FM material, as much as he was referring to the record buyer.

It would be nice if Lindsey changed up and did an acoustic End of Time for Conan O'Brien.

I listen to SWS twice as part of the album. The electric version is the last song for me and I find it a nice coda. But I don't need to hear it played at all of the live appearances.

Where was he described as a founding member of Fleetwood Mac? That's quite a big mistake for someone to make.

Yeah, Seeds We Sow is officially my least favorite track on SwS.
Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey, the Kramer look does not look good if it's halfway up your head (yeah, I can spew the same stuff each time, too).
Interesting take on the audience's wants versus creativity. I wonder if all this backing off is a way to get his point across in a more subtle fashion...the small machine CAN merge with the big machine (God, I laughed out loud when he started with the machinery about two seconds after I started watching. I will admit to falling asleep and waking up to the discussion of the machines because...who can sleep through that? It's so scintillating. Even after 400 listens/reads).
And I loved the only genuine moment of the interview with the kids and the karma. I would love him to be interviewed by a fan. A real, true, honest-to-goodness fan who wouldn't ask stupid questions and would, frankly, cut him off if he started on art, machinery or any of the other drivel.
Oh--I did like the "I've had a lot of crazy girlfriends" mention. Good thing he thinks designing with fruit on the floor is artistic!

that's recyled too - from his VH1 BTM.

several of the recent interviews had some ok questions, but he still brought all the responses back to the points he keeps repeating... but several years ago (2008) there were several interviews where there were some different questions and answers. i also remember hearing a radio interview with him while driving and they were discussing some different stuff at the time...

That's how Tavis introduced Lindsey, before the interview began.

I suppose it could be true. Maybe that's why the band was once called, Fleetwood Mackingham.
