“ Then he put his guitar down and charged into the control room , approaching
me from the front while I was in my control booth seat . Lindsey Buckingham
placed both of his hands around my neck .
“ You are an idiot ! “ , Lindsey screamed at me , his hands tightening around my throat .
I was in the engineer’s chair that swivels and tilts back . Lindsey had pushed me all
the way back in my seat , and his hands could have crushed my windpipe . At that
moment , time slowed down for me . I did not feel fear or anger . I just thought that
Lindsey was being really stupid , and I felt so regretful that he could so quickly cross
this line with me , after all that we had been through .
I do not remember how much pressure I felt from his hands while he was throttling
me . I did not think that I was in danger . But before I could do anything ,
everybody in the room was yelling at Lindsey .
Christine was the first to call out , “ Lindsey , Stop it! You told him to go over it ! “
“ Jesus , Lindsey , you are crazy ! “ Richard yelled . “ You told him to erase it . Don’t you remember ? “
Finally , Lindsey Buckingham just let go of my throat and stood upright . His hands dropped to his
sides . “ Sorry , “ he said . He sat down in another chair and asked if he could hear what we had on tape .
Cris took over , and I just sat there , wondering if I should quit or what . “
