(You thought playing “Never Going Back Again” night after night would be easy?) Unsurprisingly, there was the requisite domino effect of gossipy headlines for the next few years. But after bringing a lawsuit against the rest of the band, then settling it; undergoing emergency triple-bypass surgery; experiencing various reconciliations; surviving a maybe–maybe-not divorce from his wife; and, most recently, putting out a new solo album, Lindsey Buckingham, in September— phew!—he now finds himself in a fulfilled state of mind. During a break in his touring schedule, Buckingham spoke from his California home about the highest highs and lowest lows of his career. Oh, yeah, and about Stevie Nicks.
Most underappreciated Fleetwood Mac song
“Tusk.” It wasn’t so much the song as the whole album, but if you wanted to generalize, you could put people in two camps: After Rumours, when Tusk came out, people either got why we did it and appreciated the departure we’d made or it alienated them. You lose a certain faction of people when you move that far to the left. Everyone was expecting Rumours II. We gave them something totally different. I always joke that I would’ve loved to have been a fly on the wall when Warner Bros. first sat down in their boardroom and put the whole album on. They were probably going, “What the hell is this?”
Song that reminds you most of Stevie Nicks

A Wonk in Full- Ezra Klein, glowed-up and post-coup, was almost a celebrity at the convention.
Ezra Klein, glowed-up and post-coup, was almost a celebrity at the convention. Ezra Klein, who is known to keep his passions in check, did not have the right credentials to get into the arena. The Secret Service didn't recognize the New York Times' star "Opinion" writer and podcaster, but eventually he was able to figure out how to get in to where he belonged. This was, after all, as much his convention as any journalist's, since its high-energy optimism turned on the fact that President Joe Biden was no longer leading the ticket and, starting early this year, Klein had led the coup drumbeat.
The Afterlife of Donald Trump - The presidential hopeful contemplates his campaign, his formidable new opponent, and the miracle of his continued existence.
Donald Trump raised his right hand and grabbed hold of it. He bent it backward and forward. I asked if I could take a closer look. These days, the former president and current triple threat-convicted felon, Republican presidential nominee, and recent survivor of an assassination attempt-comes from a place of yes. He waved me over to where he sat on this August afternoon, in a low-to-the-ground chair upholstered in cream brocade fabric in the grand living room at Mar-a-Lago.
