(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

Drowning in Slop - A thriving underground economy is clogging the internet with AI garbage-and it's only going to get worse.
SLOP started seeping into Neil Clarke's life in late 2022. Something strange was happening at Clarkesworld, the magazine. Clarke had founded in 2006 and built into a pillar of the world of speculative fiction. Submissions were increasing rapidly, but “there was something off about them,” he told me recently. He summarized a typical example: “Usually, it begins with the phrase ‘In the year 2250-something’ and then it goes on to say the Earth’s environment is in collapse and there are only three scientists who can save us. Then it describes them in great detail, each one with its own paragraph. And then—they’ve solved it! You know, it skips a major plot element, and the final scene is a celebration out of the ending of Star Wars.” Clarke said he had received “dozens of this story in various incarnations.”
The City Politic- The Other Eric Adams Scandal The NYPD shot a fare evader, a cop, and two bystanders. He defends it.
On Sunday, September 15, Derell Mickles hopped a turnstile, got asked to leave by cops, then entered the subway again ten minutes later through an emergency exit. This was at the Sutter Avenue L station, out by his mother's house, five stops from the end of the line. Police said they noticed he was holding a folded knife. They followed him up the stairs to the elevated train, asking him 38 times to drop the weapon.
