shut us down snippet:

@stealthbabe Laura A. Bullard:
Lindsey Buckingham :) yfrog.us/gvtl5z

EDIT: apparently that's from last week, somebody said he didn't play anything tonight.

Thanks for posting all the tweets, Elle!

It sounds like a great interview. So, funny for Lindsey to say that he was shaking before coming out, but now he's drunk so it's ok:laugh:.

Michele

Was that Lindsey? I took it as being the Sara chick who said that.

yes, according to tweet that was Sara Bareilles who said that.

Oh, ok. It did seem strange to me that Lindsey would say either think, that he was shaking OR that he was drunk. It was hilarious though. Michele

I know, I was secretly hoping it was him.:lol: But I'm kinda thinking old Lindsey doesn't really drink let alone get drunk. Though it would be funny to see him interviewed drunk and even carrying around a flask in his jacket with periodic sips. He would have come full circle as an artist.

As far as I know from Neale and Brett in '08 is that he doesn't really drink and doesn't smoke...cigarettes. But they strongly implied he does the occasional pot-to-relax....

It was definitely hilarious. I thought the same thing at first.

:laugh:

Yeah, I've heard that he doesn't drink any more either.

By the way, does anyone know if this going to show up on youtube or the ASCAP site? I would love to see the complete interview.
