I feel that if she really poured the energy that Stevie put into her solo career, she (Christine) would had much more success. She is a very talented and marketable force.

I believe for Lindsey: His music isn't for the masses. I honestly think sometimes his music was above the top 40 mass hit machine. Law And Order is an amazing album for me personally. However, I don't think people that love Rumours are going to run out and listen to Law and Order 100 million times.

I sure wished he would have had a bit more success. But, his visions aren't/weren't always what the masses want. Sometimes it's too stripped down, and then sometimes too sophisticated. The risk of breaking formula.
$tevie has that "IT" personality that makes a star a star. I could name you a dozen bands where the lead singer(I'm NOT calling $tevie that) went solo, and pretty much fell flat on their faces. You can be a great songwriter and a talented singer....that still doesn't mean that you have IT.

Law and Order is my favorite Lindsey album! I love every note! Quirky AF!
