Tony Harrison: [Saboo and Tony Harrison are DJ-ing] I’ve got it, Saboo! A concept is formulating! Fleetwood Mac’s “Tusk” in its entirety!
Saboo: [groans]
Tony Harrison: Watch the room crumble at the awe of the H-man.
Saboo: Are you insane? Maybe there is one track I could get away with off, maybe, “Rumors.”
Tony Harrison: Oh, come off it. “Tusk,” in its entirety, with the pauses, as Lindsey Buckingham intended it to be heard.
Saboo: Yeah, why don’t you just give me a .44 so I can spray my brains all over the decks?
Tony Harrison: What is your beef with the Mac?
Saboo: The same beef every right-thinking man has: they are bullshit-munchers.
Tony Harrison: When are you gonna start thinking outside the box?
Saboo: The box is there for a reason; to keep ball-men like you inside it.
Tony Harrison: You are so square! What do you want to lay down?
Saboo: I would like to play “Would I Lie to You” by Charles and Eddie.
Tony Harrison: Ahhhhh… all right, fair enough. Good choice. Slam it down.
memories of my ghost sista 
That Mac era was so commercial I have easily stored it in my musty root cellar of musical must-hears. I do remember “Tusk” as one of the most un-commercial pieces they ever did, and do have fond memories of it for that reason. For a few moments I thought maybe they had just run into a bored U.S.C. marching band on the way to a studio session, but it definitely has a dark, tribal feel to it…not as much as “Gimme Shelter” or “Kashmir” do, but it’s there. Ears open, Saboo…don’t be a musical snob like me.

Thank you, I should apologize before hand if this post is a bit obscure. It comes from a British comedy show called The Mighty Boosh, and one of their running jokes being “taking the mickey” (as my ex would use to say) off The Mac for their album Tusk. As the years go on I find the line “the box is there to keep ball-men like you in it” very useful for so many reasons, with all apologies going to Lindsey Buckingham, of course.
Obsure…yes. You had me going. I thought you were attempting to redeem the Flee-Macs for selling out, and coming up with something worthwhile. I’ll try to pay closer attention in the future.

ah, no. i am certainly not that clever. i just have a weakness for british humor. perhaps i will need to create a “recycle” tag to let the reader know i am going off on a flight of fancy, giggling over something i heard.
