You tell me. Say, you're Lindsey Buckingham. One of your biggest hits gets tapped to be featured in a Hollywood movie. The song is a tense, sophisticated and masterfully percussive statement on relationship angst; coming hot on the heels of your last album, which explored the complexities of love and sold 40 million copies. The song in question, called "Tusk", is being requested for licensure in a horror-comedy about an elderly Canadian man who lures an American podcaster into his home, drugs him and mutilates his body to resemble that of a walrus'. Oh, and the walrus' name is Mr. Tusk. Cause, you know, walruses have tusks. Sound good? You just know as Smith was writing the script he planned for the eponymous Fleetwood Mac song to play during the film - never mind that the lyrics have absolutely nothing to do with anything. "Tusk" the movie, is sick, weird and unfunny. Smith seems to be phoning it in on this one. He should have spent more time on the script instead of a cute cross-promotion with a highly recognizable hit single. Take a listen to Andrew and Phil's latest jaw-dropping podcast.
