Save Us a Place: Lindsey Buckingham Tour Stops in Austin, Tonight!

Arguably, he was the most important member of one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Fleetwood Mac. As a solo musician, he has garnered consistent critical acclaim and a dedicated following for a remarkable and deceptively complex catalog. What's more, our civilization owes him a great debt for penning the hit "Holiday Road" for National Lampoon's Vacation at a time when our nation desperately needed audio respite from the mainstream pabulum of the early eighties. Lindsey Buckingham is a national treasure, and as Austinist music editor Paige Maguire will tenaciously attest, possibly the most beautiful man alive. Tonight, the guy with the golden ear, who wrote some of the most incredibly listen-able pop songs of the past 30 years will be playing at Hogg Auditorium, in the stubble-covered, brillo-headed flesh. -Joshua Huck
