Well, if he did indeed think he was being fired, it was a misconception he no doubt didn't hold for too long. I'm posting an OOTC interview on my site now where Lindsey is asked by a caller, "Would you to go back to Fleetwood Mac if they begged?" His reply: "What makes you think they haven't?"
And I think they did. I think they begged hard-core, hands and knees, grovelling style. Or at least Mick did. So we can't go "aw, poor Lindsey, he thought he was fired." (Besides, I always took that line from John "I was asking him to leave the room, not the band!" as a joke.)
It does make me sad when I think of my poor sugar Lindsey crying alone in his car in the driveway, though! Bad times.
