New Neil Finn interview on yahoo

[UnwindedDreams]

From a new interview with Neil:
I spoke with Mick Fleetwood a few months ago. He said he’s on speaking terms again with Lindsey Buckingham and wouldn’t be opposed to him rejoining the band. If that happens, as a fan, will you be happy? Will you gladly step aside to make room for it?
Neil: I would be delighted for them if they reconcile. I would gladly step aside to allow that to happen. I’m not entering the arena in terms of whether that is possible. But I’m really happy that Mick has crossed some bridges with Lindsey. I know that had to happen at some point. I know it’s not as simple as that. But look, if it served Fleetwood Mac and its best interests, I would be delighted for them. I wouldn’t lay any claim or put any obstacles in front of them.

Thank you for sharing that clip and interview bit, UnwindedDreams- they sounded great and I’m so glad Neil brought back the beautiful finish to Don’t Dream It’s Over. I loved the duet between Neil and Stevie on the tour, but was bummed when they curtailed the ending the way they did… the song just ended limply. Now it’s back.

More importantly, Neil’s comments about Lindsey rejoining FM- wow! Finally, an interviewer asks the question we’ve all been wondering, and that was so cool Neil didn’t beat around the bush, hem or haw, or give a pat answer. He was honest and beyond gracious, and I suspect Mike Campbell would be, too. I felt like Neil was saying Mick and Lindsey have reconciled but no one has talked to Stevie about what that could mean for FM. I gathered that by Neil’s comment that he didn’t even want to “enter the arena” of whether Lindsey would actually rejoin FM.

You're most welcome, bwboy. They couldn't do the outro for DDIO on the 2018 tour because they did it in the acoustic section of the show. I suppose Heywood could've played an electric solo though.

It's very generous of Neil to say he'd give his job up for Lindsey to take. But I think he says that knowing Lindsey will never be welcomed back.

Never welcomed back. To the band HE BUILT.

What's wrong with this picture? I know...

Dear sweet, naive Neil, as if anyone would care if he tried to lay a claim.

And Mike? I wish Mike would ask Neil to sing Tom's songs in a renovated Heartbreakers.

IDK. It's NOT The Heartbreakers without Tom Petty!

That would be like a FM without Lindsey Buckingham!!!!

Oh wait, we're discussing WATERED DOWN CRAP...

I think Neil has the right voice to sing Tom's songs. Only because Tom died. I would never have wanted them to have someone sing Tom's songs if he were alive.
