Lindsey didn't use a Les Paul in Auckland 1980.

Lindsey is prevaricating. Something like it happened. However, the first any of us
ever heard of it was in Mick's 1990 book. I recommend everybody pull that book off the shelf and read that section.
Mick also talked about it in 1990 on the Graham Nash show with Billy Burnette and Sharon Celani. He specifically avoided the word "kicked" and instead used the word "flicked." The book does, too. I know this sounds silly, but the act, which no one in Fleetwood Mac mentioned until ten years after it happened, has been reframed since then as an act of violence. It's been made to sound more physical than Mick said it was. I just had to get that off my chest.
