Fleetwood Mac's Gross Night

July 2, 2007 -- A NEW Fleetwood Mac kiss-and-tell could be nicknamed "Blow Your Own Way," considering the massive amounts of cocaine and other drugs that were consumed during the legendary band's heyday.

In her book, "Storms: My Life with Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac," Buckingham's ex-girlfriend, Carol Ann Harris, tells how the rocker had indulged in lots of beer, shots of Jack Daniel's and "California gold" when he was "unwittingly" slipped a Quaalude during the 1978 American Music Awards, The Post's Kyle Smith reports. In addition, "vials of cocaine were dumped on the backs of wrists whenever the lights darkened."

When the group won Album of the Year, Harris says, Buckingham approached the stage "looking like a character from a B-movie who'd been shot . . . his superhuman effort was leading him to the opposite side of the stage." Harris rushed backstage to find the "reeking" guitarist-singer sitting on a couch in host Dick Clark's office, looking at a puddle of his own "disgusting biohazard" vomit, which had been freshly hurled upon the "foot-deep carpet."

Clark "was staring at Lindsey as though he were something nasty that he just scraped off the bottom of his shoe," Harris writes. Hustled out by Clark's security, Buckingham continued to "projectile vomit" all over the back seat of the limo on the way home.

The fiasco was smoothly edited out of the TV broadcast, and the next morning, Buckingham, wearing a gigantic sombrero and "grinning like an inmate from an insane asylum," commanded Harris, "Don't tell me anything about last night."

At the Grammys the same year, Buckingham saw country great Kenny Rogers walk by and called out, "Oh, my God! Look at the [bleep]in' pancake makeup! It's gotta be four inches thick." When Rogers turned and glared, Harris thought, "I really didn't want to have my fairytale night spoiled by a fight between Kenny Rogers and my man." Meanwhile, Buckingham was just getting started, saying, "Kenny, hey, Kennnnny! Man, love your makeup! Really, you look great, cowboy!" Rogers elected not to fight.

Me too, because it isn't sounding like it.

Oh, so I take it you were there at the time and can give a different account? Please do tell!

Drop your pathetic attempt at internet attitude. I didn't claim to have any other account. In not so many words, I said this book and article were rubbish, and I meant it. Whether the events are true or not, I'm not even speculating. Tabloid trash is tabloid trash.

From all accounts I've read thus far, it appears that she hasn't said anything nice. Why she wouldn't just leave if he was so vile? There had to be some redeeming quality - other than the money, unless she's a golddigger; the fact that she's apparently chosen to just write nast leads me towards a lack of interest in her side of the story.

Why I feel like I even need to explain myself to you is beyond me. Where's YOUR account of the situations since you are somewhat insinuating that her words are the truth?
