The playing at starting around 1:25 is Gentle on my Mind : )
Listening to radio here in the Los Angeles area is very disappointing. They simply have no good music on the stations. Definitely no country and no rock and roll.
The oldies station is now playing 80’s music which means nothing to listen to.

"Agree about the underrated-ness of LB and love his early roots with the Kingston Trio."
The first time I could see Buckingham's playing "up close" was on The Dance DVD. I noticed he had an unusual hollow-body guitar that looked something like an overgrown ukulele, and he played with a finger-picking style like an old folkie. He even played banjo on a song or two.

Oh, HIM. You should have just said: “Stevie Nick’s old boyfriend”. *smile* I’ve always been in love with her voice so mentioning Lindsey usually did not click because I would automatically switch to her image in years past.
Then again, I have not thought about Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, or Lindsey Buckingham for some time now.
The link you pointed out was not the best example of him playing, I think. Pretty repetitious number with no stylistic nuances or flourishes.
So far, as a composer / songwriter I think he is one of the best. As a player, better than average but not someone I would pay to go see on stage.
I think the VH1 “Behind The Music” episode paints him in a much better light. Have a look then:

I’ll have to re-watch that! Probably watched it years ago but then you know, life went on and I don’t know if it was that the music in general was less striking or if it just didn’t strike a chord with me so I let it slip away.

If Fleetwood Mac hadn’t of called, I could see how they could have gone country.

I like "Spinnin' of the World," but didn't know the connection of LB (neat contraction!) with the late John Stewart.
I first saw John Stewart right after he joined the Kingstons, in Detroit at one of the first live concerts they did with John replacing Dave Guard. Fast forward to the reunion concert DVD. (That's really fast moving, from 1960.) I own the Reunion DVD and the best part for me are all the selections that include John.
Thank you for your information. Like FR for such a variety of subjects.

Yes, I think you would be quite pleased when you take the time to re-watch that. Quite a bit of background info there.
Gordon Lightfoot is a much better player and singer, I think, and many of his compositions are remarkable in their lyrics.
“The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald” is the one most liked by many, but “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” is very well done with haunting lyrics and a gentle melody.

New world order trivia...
Did you know that Jim Morrisons (of The Doors) father was (future) Rear Admiral George Stephen Morrison, who was in command of the carrier division at the Gulf of Tonkin incident ?
<><><>
An interesting factoid, but you’ve made no case of new world order in your post.
The 60s counterculture was a direct outgrowth of the 50s counterculture, not a lot of difference between the hippies of the 60s and their antecedents, the beat generation (except for the length of their hair and the openness of their substance abuse).

Glen was great , but NObody gives Chet guitar lessons .
<><><
I won’t say no one (but I cannot think of anyone off the top of my head), but certainly no one on that stage was going to teach Chet much. Maybe about showmanship, but not about how to coax music out of a 6 string guitar.

What do you think of Lindsey Buckingham?One of the most underrated conceptual artists of his time.
To: Utilizer
Ah yes, Lightfoot. If you ever once heard WotEF you never forgot it.

Grateful Dead guy involved with the CIA:

Rather surprising article, IMHO, for its day: Life, May 13, 1957 Seeking the Magic Mushroom
covered the mushroom escapades of
R. Gordon Wasson, Vice President of J.P. Morgan & Co., key proponent of psychedelics, who was good friends with one of the two key "fathers" of modern public relations,
Edward Bernays, who wrote this in his 1928 book entitled "Propaganda":
Propaganda (1928)

CHAPTER I
ORGANIZING CHAOS
" THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.
Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet.
They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social structure. Whatever attitude one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of personsa trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty millionwho understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world.
It is not usually realized how necessary these invisible governors are to the orderly functioning of our group life. In theory, every citizen may vote for whom he pleases. Our Constitution does not envisage political parties as part of the mechanism of government, and its framers seem not to have pictured to themselves the existence in our national politics of anything like the modern political machine. But the American voters soon found that without organization and direction their individual votes, cast, perhaps, for dozens or hundreds of candidates, would produce nothing but confusion. Invisible government, in the shape of rudimentary political parties, arose almost overnight. Ever since then we have agreed, for the sake of simplicity and practicality, that party machines should narrow down the field of choice to two candidates, or at most three or four. "

The first time I listened to Tusk, I was thinking, what in the world did I just hear.
But then, I started thinking Lindsey was before his time.

Growing up in the Detroit area, got to listen to(other than Motown)a lot of Canadian groups(like Lighthouse)...and of course Gordon Lightfoot.
...another unique style, great storyteller.

Robert Hunter was not involved with the CIA, as your own documentation (wikipedia) makes pretty clear. He and Ken Kesey were LSD test subjects with no knowledge that the experiments were being done under the auspices of the CIA.
