Yes, when Mr. Debbie Downer died, the band took off into the stratosphere.
Yes, they should have just stayed Bad Lieutenant—truly Barney’s band—but the fact is the brand makes a difference, ensuring ears to hear and butts to buy seat tickets.
In many ways, the Bad Lt experiment reflects the BuckVie experiment. If that album had been called Fleetwood Mac... but they were also being honest to the fireflies. It having, relatively, failed, Mac became Stevie’s Mac and the offending element ejected.
