ONLINE | October 7, 2018 [email protected] Could Fleetwood Mac Be Liable for Lindsey Buckingham Going His Own Way? (859) 257-1678 Rowan L. Reid[1] Lindsey Buckingham’s sordid relationship with other members of Fleetwood Mac has been a source of news since the late 1980s.[2] After being “involuntary expelled” from the band earlier this year, he has led suit against his old band mates for breach of oral contract and breach of duciary duty. [3] He alleges that his forced departure has cost him twelve million dollars in tour proceeds.[4] The band is currently on the tour described in the lawsuit and has stops in over 50 cities in the United States.[5] While court documents relevant to the lawsuit have not been released in full, Buckingham claims he asked Fleetwood Mac to change the tour dates so that he could release his own album.[6] Following the band’s refusal, Buckingham allegedly delayed the release of his album and any potential solo tour.[7] Buckingham claims his ring from the upcoming tour and contracting with other musicians to take his place amounted to a breach of an oral contract and a breach of duciary duty.[8] In order for Buckingham’s breach of oral contract claim to be sustained, he must rst show that the statute of frauds does not apply to the agreement at hand.[9] The statute of frauds exists to prevent dishonest conduct by encouraging parties to create written documents memorializing their agreements.[10] Whether Buckingham will be able to recover under this oral agreement will depend on whether or not the contract could have been performed within a year, as contracts that can be fully performed within a year are not required to be memorialized by a signed writing.[11] Because Fleetwood Mac’s North American Tour began on October 3 and will end on April 5,[12] it is likely that this oral contract will not be barred by the statute of frauds.[13] Therefore, if Buckingham is able to show a valid oral agreement existed regarding his role in the upcoming tour, it is likely Fleetwood Mac may be liable for a breach of that agreement. Buckingham also claims Fleetwood Mac breached their duciary duty to him as a partner.[14] While this evaluation will be jurisdiction specic, the Revised Uniform Partnership Act [hereinafter RUPA] denes “partnership” as “an association of two or more persons to carry on as co-owners of a business for prot.”[15] Generally, property acquired by the partnership, which can include any business opportunities to compete, must be shared with all individuals in the partnership.[16] RUPA further states that in the case of a partner, in this case Lindsey Buckingham, who “engaged in wrongful conduct that adversely and materially affected the partnership business” the partnership may be able to force him to leave the partnership.[17] However, Fleetwood Mac will still have to pay Lindsey Buckingham the value of his interest in the partnership.[18] It is likely that Fleetwood Mac may be liable for a breach of duciary duty by not sharing the partnership opportunity of going on tour, and earning the revenue that comes along with that. If they can prove Buckingham adversely affected the partnership they may no longer be liable for a breach of duciary duty, but it will still have to pay him his fair share. It seems that Buckingham has some strong arguments in his arsenal, but Fleetwood Mac says the other bandmates are looking “forward to their day in court.”[19] [1] Staff Editor, Kentucky Law Journal, Volume 107; J.D.

  • Some Advice for Phone-Addicted Youth Who Want To
    The Roots Report: Look What’s Going Down: Artists have a duty to voice their opinions Okee dokee folks… “It’s s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound, everybody look what’s going down.” This is from one of the most famous protest songs ever written, “For What It’s Worth,” by Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield). It was written more than 50 years ago in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in California and is still revered as one of the best songs of that generation. A few years later, Neil Young wrote his song “Ohio” about the Kent State shootings. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young quickly recorded this song, and when it was released as a single, it was backed with another Stephen Stills protest anthem “Find The Cost Freedom.” At the time, “Ohio” was banned by some radio stations, but today it is one of the few actual protest songs still being played on radio. These songs, the bands and the writers were major inspirations and influences for me as a musician and songwriter. Not only do I perform “Ohio” with my band Forever Young and “For What It’s Worth” when I play solo, but I have written many sociopolitical songs of my own that are part of my body of solo work. I feel protest songs need to be written, but they are the hardest type of song to get right. They need to express the concern and anger of the subject matter and marry it perfectly with a melody to make the song viable.

  • MTO 21.1: Hough, Elements of Style in Stevie Nicks
    Volume 21, Number 1, March 2015 Copyright © 2015 Society for Music Theory Elements of Style in Three Demo Recordings by Stevie Nicks Matthew T. Hough NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.15.21.1/mto.15.21.1.hough.php KEYWORDS: rock, pop, harmony, composition, Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac ABSTRACT: This article examines demo recordings of three songs by Stevie Nicks in terms of compositional style and in relation to conventions of rock harmony. Sections from two of Nicks’ unreleased solo demo recordings are compared to publicly released versions of the same songs, revealing distinctive stylistic elements and their subsequent normalization. Compositional applications for rock music based on structural and contrapuntal techniques found in these demo recordings are also presented. Received January 2015 Introduction [1.1] Stephanie “Stevie” Nicks (b. 1948 in Phoenix, Arizona) is one of rock’s best known female performers of the last fifty years. Despite her many decades of fame, investigation into Nicks’ work as a composer remains scarce. This is perhaps not due to a lack of interest; her close association with numerous collaborators—most notably, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and other members of the band Fleetwood Mac—often makes pinpointing Nicks’ individual compositional traits difficult. As released to the public, Nicks’ songs invariably contain significant contributions from these collaborators in the form of instrumental or vocal arrangements and production. Recently, examples of Nicks’ unreleased demo recordings have begun to appear on YouTube and various file-sharing sites. In many of these recordings, Nicks is heard singing and playing a keyboard instrument without additional accompaniment.

  • A Band Together. but Who Knew We'd Find As Durable an Application Of
    o R M D EVERY MUSICIAN KNOWS IT’s THE RHYTHM SECTION THAT HOLDS a band together. But who knew we’d find as durable an application of that maxim as the one exemplified by the history of Fleetwood Mac? & Over the last thirty years, Fleetwood Mac has comprised fifteen musicians shuffled through six major lineups, resulting in endless tin- kerings with tone and genre. Yet the two members to survive it all rarely write tunes and never front the recordings. They’re the beat- keepers - drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John Me Vie. The fact that a rhythm section could sustain a band through thirty years seems all the more amazing considering the traumatic histories of the band’s shifting array o f stage-front stars. Together, their personal lives have given rock one of its most elaborate and juicy plotlines. (L Religious conversions, spells o f madness, “incestuous” liaisons within the band, drug freak-outs, alleged brainwashings, imperson- Mick ^ stevie ations, everything short of murder have spun Nicks, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Fleetwood Mac’s legacy into a story worthy of Buckingham (from left) Scheherazade. & Musically the band has endured just as many twists, moving from blues to rockabilly to laid-back California folk rock - finally to bloom into purveyors of some of the most popular and endur- ing music of the Seventies.

Born in Arizona, where she learned country duets with her grandfather as a child, Nicks (along with her then-partner, singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham) went on to help transform Fleetwood Mac from a British blues band into one of the most influential pop groups of all time. She brought a sense of softness and sophistication to rock music at a time when it was still primarily considered the province of youth culture. Her best-known turns with Fleetwood Mac—”Rhiannon,” “Dreams,” “Landslide”—proved that pop could be both feminine and powerful, earthbound yet mystical. Nicks helped close the distance between our notions of artist and star–and inspired a generation of women from Madonna and Courtney Love to Taylor Swift and Beyoncé to do the same. For as accessible as they are, Nicks’ songs are also symbolic, even mythological, springing from what seems like a world lurking somewhere beyond our own: Her 1981 solo debut, Bella Donna, mixes a rootsy, unvarnished sound with images of demons, dreams, mountains, and doves—an especially perceptive blend for an era when spirituality and self-realization were creeping into the mainstream. Ultimately, though, it’s Nicks’ connection to—and evocation of—the dualities and subtleties of womanhood that define her music: “My mission maybe wasn’t to be a mom and wife,” she reflected in an interview with ABC’s Downtown.
