Kiss and tell books are a hazard of being in the public eye.
I personally don't like them because they are usually just bitter gripes from someone who is mad/sad about the end of a relationship but they do have an audience. The best we can hope for from this book is that since it comes many years after the event there may be an element of mature reflection in it. Also that if Carol (or her ghost writer ) is a decent writer she might be able to evoke the era in an entertaining way. However, I've read on other boards that her appearances on tv suggest a rather sad, pathetic woman still living in the past who claims she still loves LB and who can't get her story about his alleged violence straight. So the signs are not good but we'll see. Generally - considering the musical and human content of the FM story, I'm suprised there aren't any really good books about them by decent music biographers. As for books from band members, the only two I would trust to tell the tale reasonably accurately are Lindsey himself and Christine. I think we'd get a pretty good account if the two decided to pool their respective memories. But ofcourse that is never going to happen. And Kelly I agree with you, despite his other issues, I've always thought LB and Christine were the classiest members of the band. |

Let's see -- Carol Ann Harris
Help me out here guys. Is she the woman hanging on Lindsey in the video named "Mick's Lost Japan Tapes" ? The video is from the 1977 Rumours Tour...in one shot, it shows the band getting on an airplane. Stevie is sitting in first class. Enter Lindsey and Blonde Bimbo. Stevie says something like "You, get in the back. Band members only." Lindsey, obediently takes a seat and fastens his seat belt, and this silent, sluggish woman, slinks to the back of the plane. Later this same woman is seen constantly hanging on Lindsey. Is that our girl??? ... Carol Ann??? T.D. |

Ok here's my take... I'm going to settle this once again....
It's story tellin.... that's all it is... Lindsey Buckingham does not need anyone in this forum to defend him.. Based on many historical accounts... it's safe to say LB has had some physical altercations.... Hell if someone wrote about Christine beating up Dennis I would be adoring that person... Anyway, she has the right to tell her story from her point of view... (contractual stuff aside) Is it tacky? Probably... Should she feel guilty about doing it? NO!!! She put up w/ him and his antics for 8 years and if she wants to make it public she has every right to do so. My guess is this book won't make a whole lot of scratch... Quite honestly beyond this board.... I don't think many people care... C'mon people he was in a rock band... do you have any idea what goes on in superstar rock bands.... I'm shocked there wasn't more of this.... Now everyone chill and have a snort of whiskey or somethin.... PS Christine threw a drink in Lindsey's face, I liked her more after that...

as for that story about the plane, wow was stevie a beyotch or what. as lb's gf, carol ann should have stood up for herself & told her to go to hell or really as the man, lb should have jealous or not, she should have had some respect for who he was dating & living with & he should have had a spine. who was the bigger wimp? lb or his gf? can't say i blame her for writing the book . |

I think that there are few people here who would not do the same thing if they were in her position. I'm sure she's getting a nice chunk of change. |

Mick also added in his account in his book that it was not the first time Lindsey had done this to Stevie.

I would tend to agree that Julian hasn't been treated very kindly.

It probably wouldn't be too hard as Dennis was usually out of his gourd during that period.
