[elle]

@_marialouisa
Also saw Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac earlier
15 minutes ago

@erinnmoney
Just saw lindsey buckingham from fleetwood mac
4 hours ago

both of these people seem to be watching SNL rehearsals or something, b/c they are also talking about bill hader. (or maybe they saw hader doing LB?)

EDIT: the people tweeting were not watching SNL rehearsals, they are camping out overnight so they can get into taping tomorrow.

More than a little exciting.

The finale is next week. It would have been nice if he was on that, but I'll take the penultimate.

yes. i think more and more that it might be true. found two more tweets, unrelated to the first two girls. that would mean they are retiring the sketch after tomorrow.

Ed Helms hosts, Paul Simon musical guest. So if LB is there, he'll just be in the sketch.

it would be nicer if he was on in the fall, both as a part of the sketch and as musical guest too - with one of his new songs. with a few rare exceptions, almost nobody who guests in that sketch turns out good. hopefully somebody will campaign to have him back in the fall as a musical guest too.

So there is a chance LB might be on SNL tomorrow? Maybe he will be in the sketch and actually get a chance to talk Will have to watch just in case!

it seems more and more feasible. there was a dress rehearsal few hrs ago, and that's when 3 different people tweeted that they saw him.

OH GOD, I so hope he is on tomorrow, SNL is hilarious. This will be his first appearance, right?

Lindsey Buckingham finally gets to speak on ‘Saturday Night Live’

By: Tom Lanham | 10/18/11 10:00 PM

New music: Lindsey Buckingham’s sixth solo album is called “Seeds We Sow.” (Courtesy photo)

At first, Fleetwood Mac mainstay Lindsey Buckingham admits to being a tad perplexed: Why was “Saturday Night Live” alum Bill Hader appearing as the guitarist in a recurring “SNL” skit called “What’s Up With That?” as the third, perpetually bumped guest on Kenan Thompson’s campy talk show?

Instead of interviewing his superstar subjects, Thompson breaks into increasingly elaborate soul-revue songs, while Hader’s Buckingham sits silently and sulks.

“When somebody mentioned that Bill Hader was doing me, I thought ‘Gee, that’s kind of obscure,’” Buckingham says. “But obviously, I took it as a compliment.”

Once he saw the bits, says the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer — who plays today at the Regency Ballroom, promoting his new solo album “Seeds We Sow” — he couldn’t stop laughing.

“Because obviously someone had gotten some footage of the last Fleetwood Mac tour, so Hader seemed to have me down pretty well,” he says. “And the whole premise of never getting to talk somehow? Let’s just say it’s not like that didn’t resonate on some level. Then, of course, (manager) Irving Azoff called up ‘SNL’s’ Lorne Michaels and said, ‘Do you want Lindsey to do a walk-on?’ And he said yeah.”

So on last season’s penultimate episode, Buckingham strolled out in front of his doppelganger for an impromptu jam session with Thompson.

“Seeing the cast go through their paces was amazing,” Buckingham says. “Even when they do the dress rehearsal on Saturday night for an earlier audience, they’re still tweaking it, still moving things around, still pulling sketches. I take my hat off to them, because they’re holding up the legacy of live TV.”

Buckingham was particularly touched when “SNL’s” musically inclined Fred Armisen sought him out to praise his quirky, non-Mac solo albums, from 1981’s “Law and Order” to “Seeds,” which pairs straightforward pop janglers like “Illumination,” “End of Time” and “When She Comes Down” with flamenco-intricate finger-pickers like the title track. He formed his own Buckingham Records to release it.

“A lot of this album is about choices that we all make,” says the Palo Alto-born father of three. “When I look inside my particular little microcosm of family, I find a lot of good things. So whatever’s going on in the world, as frightening as it may be, ironically for me, it’s the best time of my life.”

Unless he got into his stash , he has got to be lying about the couldnt stop laughing at that skit business.

[bucklind17]

I was hoping to see Bill Hader at Lindsey's NYC, just in the audience! But I don't think he was there. Would have been funny though.

seems like it would be more probable to see Fred Armisen at LB's concert.
