There are definitely 2 groups, those that feel excited and interested to see the "new group," and those that are angry/sad/ disappointed with the band for firing Lindsey.

I land firmly in the second group. So much so, that when I unexpectedly heard "Go Your Own Way" in a store suddenly, it felt like a physical punch in the gut. The sadness that washed over me was tangible, and heavy and deep. My eyes welled up, and I felt anguish similar to a death.

For me, this is the death of the most important musical group in my life. The group that was the backdrop to my entire life. Through teenage years, school, university, marriage, babies, divorce, remarriage, etc, etc.

When someone says that "I should just get over it," it is no different to me than a solid loss in my life.

When someone says "It's only a band," it hasn't been to me.

I am definitely a Lindsey fan, I will definitely miss him. For those that are non Lindsey fans and miss him, I feel your pain and will never minimize it for you. Grieve on, my friends.
