I do because I don’t see Lindsey as the sole creative leader of the band. I see him as a very talented man who produced and arranged their songs for years. However, he didn’t write most of their best songs. To me, its sort of like when a band moves on from a long time producer. Like U2 have done several times in their run. I resonate mostly with the Christine and Stevie songs so it’s not the change to me it is for others who resonate more with the Lindsey songs. I also am more cynical to believe that Lindsey is a pure victim here I am very confident that the blame lies fairly equally on both sides and it’s more of an equitable parting of the ways Han you may think. Lastly, I believe the band needed a jolt of creative energy and was stagnating for years and Neil and Mike can offer that jolt. Neil has written and recorded something like five albums in the last six years and is a creative force who works very well with others. Mike is similar in his creative energy and brings the musical chops necessary to bring those Finn and Christine melodies and Stevie angst to life. For these reasons, I’m excited about the new lineup. It’s not that I don’t respect Lindsey as an artist. I adore Lindsey as an artist. I just think it’s best to focus on the blessings we have rather than what we don’t have. |

“Dreamin’ The Dream,” which had me choked up when I saw it. I didn’t know the song, since it hadn’t been released, but there were fireworks going off and it made for a really beautiful moment.

I feel sorry for you in advance because once this tour dies it will be your turn to feel Stevie's curse--endless postponement of FM projects in favor of her solo or Heartbreaker or acting pursuits, and none of the above involving any new material. It doesn't matter how many electric cattle prods Neil has brought over from NZ to "reinvigorate" and "energize" the situation; this project is dead in the water. And if Lindsey's complaint is mentioning the relatively poor sales or critical reception of the FM albums released during his absence, they may think twice before rushing out another hodgepodge release that ends up corroborating his assertions.

I'm not sure how anyone that has been paying attention can possibly believe what Mick has to say .

Yes to all of this. Its worth also mentioning Stevie will most likely be inducted into the R&R HOF as a solo artist soon. She's going to be dying to show the world what she's all about. If she's inducted she'll be desperate for the end of this tour so she can do her solo thing and milk all the additional interest that comes her way. She'll want to cement her legacy as a solo artist. I feel for Neil and Mike- though they are obviously party to the inner working of the band I feel us fans are more knowing than them in some ways.

Not sure I can wrap my head around why anyone would think new music could be a sad thing, but that's ok I guess. We are all entitled to our opinions.

For me, there was life in the sense that there were some good ideas: Rick's quietly mourning I Loved Another Woman in concert, for one—made me want to hear an entire Fleetwood Mac concert of slow, minor-key blues from that configuration. And I thought everyone in the band was airbrushed beautifully in photos on the album and in the press. Bunch of handsome people! Quote:
So bring on the new music, kids, and let's hear what ya got! My Spotify is ready.

In other words, they weren't lying to aggrandize themselves, or to disguise their diva-ness, they were kowtowing to her. She, on the other hand, was making sh*t up to cover her own refusal to work. BIG difference.

Sorry you didn't care for the BTM album as much as I did. I love it so much, but I totally agree Stevie's songs are not memorable. No Questions Asked and Paper Doll are fascinating to me, but in an odd way LOL. Christine, Billy, and Rick really shined, though. |

Or, maybe he was just pointing out that even $t. £ind$€¥ was capable of lying when it was in his best interest.
