Classic Lindsey Buckingham pop song. Has that '60s/'70s vibe to it. It's off Gift of Screws, out September 16.
One of the first films I ever watched on a VCR (remember those?) back in the early 80s was National Lampoon's Vacation. Its still one of my favorites today. Another one of those time capsule films that reminds me of my childhood growing up in All-American Land. Heres the rockin' main theme of the film sung by Fleetwood Mac' alumni Lindsey Buckingham.

He even laughed a bit when an audience member shouted out for him to play Landslide.The highlights, of course were the ... MORE
Lindsey Buckingham is one of my favorite artists both solo and with Fleetwood Mac. So when I saw that he was going to release a new album and tour solo, I checked to see if he would be playing near me and was quite excited that he would be playing at the State Theater in Falls Church, Virginia on Oct. 9. Sure, it's my tennis night, but I'll go see Lindsey in such a great intimate venue, for sure! We had to see some friends in Virginia last weekend anyway, which gave us... MORE
