LINDSEY GETS SLAMMED BY FANS’ “SUBTLE” MYSTERY GOO
Guitarist and vocalist Lindsey Buckingham, a former member of the storied rock band Fleetwood Mac, was attacked by a woman when he showed up for an appointment in Santa Monica, multiple law enforcement sources tell NBC4 Investigates.
When Buckingham entered the building, the woman described by authorities as a stalking suspect threw an unknown substance at the two-time Grammy winner and took off. Police have identified the suspect, but no arrests were reported early Wednesday morning.
In the latest episode of “Rock Stars vs. Unexpected Substances,” former Fleetwood Mac maestro Lindsey Buckingham, now 76 and presumably more accustomed to wielding a guitar than dodging flying liquids, found himself the unwilling star of a Santa Monica street theater. A woman—described by police as a stalker, by Buckingham’s schedule as impressively punctual—flung an unidentified gooey missile at the two-time Grammy winner before making her dramatic exit stage left. Authorities are piecing together the plot, confirming the woman’s obsession from earlier performances, and promising an encore arrest soon. Meanwhile, Buckingham, who once unplucked the strings of rock history with hits like “Go Your Own Way,” must now navigate the less harmonious strains of fame: bodyguard-less, media-scrutinized, and quite literally caught in the splatter zone. The police, NBC4 Investigates, and Buckingham’s PR team remain on standby, presumably drafting statements that hit all the right notes of “no comment” and “ongoing investigation.”

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

West Virginia DayJune 20, 2026
West Virginia Day is a state holiday in West Virginia to celebrate its joining the Union in 1863 as the 35th state. The creation of the state was a result of the Civil War. The settlers of western Virginia defied the state's vote to secede from the Union, and on June 20 West Virginia formally entered the Union as an anti-slave state. The day is marked with ceremonies at the state capitol in Charleston and at the West Virginia Independence Hall in Wheeling. It was there that the conventions were held to declare West Virginia's independence from Virginia.

Black TeaJune 20, 2026
Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
