Rumours (The Book) on Facebook

Fleetwood Mac′s classic 1977 Rumours album topped the Billboard 200 for thirty–one weeks and won the Album of the Year Grammy. More recently, Rolling Stone named it the 25th greatest album of all time and the hit TV series Glee devoted an entire episode to songs from Rumours, introducing it to a new generation. Now, for the first time, Ken Caillat, the album′s co–producer, tells the full story of what really went into making Rumours—from the endless partying and relationship dramas to the creative struggles to write and record "You Make Lovin′ Fun", "Don′t Stop", "Go Your Own Way", "The Chain", and other timeless tracks.

• Tells the fascinating, behind–the–music story of the making of Fleetwood Mac′s Rumours, written by the producer who saw it all happen.
• Filled with new and surprising details, such as Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham′s screaming match while recording "You Make Lovin′ Fun", how the band coped with the pressures of increasing success, how the master tape nearly disintegrated, and the incredible attention paid to even the tiniest elements of songs, from Lindsey playing a chair and to Mick breaking glass.
• Includes eighty black–and–white photographs.

Kristina Jacinth shared a photo on Tumblr of Lindsey Buckingham yesterday at USC during the Pop Music Forum he was a guest speaker at.  Lindsey performed Big Love and Never Going Back Again, spoke about the music business and participated in an audience Q&A - after which he met those in attendance for pictures and autographs.

Mick Fleetwood was spotted in Maui yesterday by Alex Gilmore and he captured and shared this photo on Twitter. Mick was shopping, it looks like, with some sort of an audio crew following him.  Not sure what that's about... 

Lindsey Buckingham was Guest Speaker at USC Pop Forum Today

The USC Popular Music Program has a unique class called “Popular Music Forum” and if you’re someone who can’t experience it in-person, this is the perfect place for you. This blog is an exclusive look into each forum.

But what exactly is the “Popular Music Forum?” In official USC course description speech, it is:

“A weekly lecture series addressing a wide range of special topics and issues ­confronting the popular musician.”

In other words, it’s a speaker series where artists and other music industry professionals (producers, managers, etc) discuss with students about the industry and their experiences with it.

The key word here is “discuss.”

The forums are more than just a “lecture.” It’s a discussion, or Q&A session, where students can ask questions and converse with the guest.

This week, we will be welcoming Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac to our forum.

This is taking place today...

Jenay, will be blogging about the experience... You should be able to catch it HERE when it's posted...

INTERPRET THIS!
