Yep. And his “perspective” made him largely irrelevant. Fleetwood Mac still plays to packed houses without him. Stevie found a way to have a viable identity outside of the band. Lindsey didn’t.
Think about it: Lindsey wrote one of the most revered Fleetwood Mac songs ever (GYOW), which RS ranked highest of all Fleetwood Mac songs, and produced one of the most critically acclaimed albums ever (Tusk), but because he kept trying to find lightening in a bottle, he let his career pass him by.
