She should have just quit the band and stayed solo.

Like you, I believe she is a good person and this is all a horrible aberration in her character that she will come to regret. I just hope she comes to her senses before one of them dies, and that when she does, Lindsey can extend her the same forgiveness he has received from her in the past. I'm upset that my favorite band is in the crapper, even angry at times, but I can't hate Stevie. Maybe this is a much lower intensity, less extreme version of Lindsey's love/hate sans the romantic history, lol. Last edited by sodascouts; 05-09-2018 at 11:02 AM.. |

I don't think this was a rushed decision, like many fans like to think. I think she knew what was at stake when she decided to put Lindsey's firing in motion. I don't think there will be regrets, or apologies, or come back to the band. And I really hope I'm wrong because I'd love to see them all one more time.

As time passes, though, and the casual fans hear all that great FM music during commercials, they may get a craving to hear it live and sales may begin to pick up. I'm not counting on poor sales continuing. We'll see. *Of course, I also recognize that they are all richer than Midas without the tour, unless Mick has somehow managed to spend all of his money again.

I'm seeing a deep seated dislike and mistrust of women in general.

I don't know Stevie on a personal level. Most of us don't. That was kind of my point.

I have often wished they would expound a little more on the whole winners and losers theme that has shown up in their writing since Buckingham Nicks. You're right on the money with this statement.

You and your cross. We had a really nice time during your last... vacation. I'll bet the next one is permanent.

She could have pulled a move like this before, and she didn't. Something changed. I believe that "something" was his death in October 2017. The official explanation is that what changed was tour logistics, but come on! That doesn't add up. You don't destroy a band over that, especially when you replace him before letting him know that his request was apparently a deal-breaker. He leaves thinking they're considering it and is told after the fact that they've replaced him. After hearing what his backing band member said / seeing the evidence regarding Lindsey leaving MusiCares believing he was still part of the tour, and seeing the lies perpetuated in the interview with Stevie interjecting that she just wanted to be happy when explaining why Lindsey was fired, it all became clear: he was stressing Stevie out and she used this conflict to remove him from the picture so the tour would be stress-free for her. She said it herself: Tom's death made her realize she just wanted to do whatever she needed to do to be happy. That's why I think her grief is affecting her logic. Tom would be appalled that he's being used to justify Lindsey's firing. He was Lindsey's friend! I think Stevie will come to realize that treating Lindsey like that isn't really going to make her happy. True happiness cannot be derived from hurting others, no matter how "stress-free" it makes things in the short-term. Last edited by sodascouts; 05-09-2018 at 04:25 PM.. |

I also hope she realizes her "stress-free" tour has stressed out and further splintered FM's millions of fans...

And each time you respond to me it only further proves my point of view. Have a nice day David.

That’s about as big of a jump as anything I’ve ever read here. The guy doesn’t like Stevie Nicks so you project that as being a deep seated dislike and mistrust of women? Wow...

Yup. I'm that simple.

Knock off the sexist and misogyny bullcrap already.
I don't think anyone here takes aim at Stevie because she is a woman. And I certainly would never rejoice in any violence against her or Carol or anyone else. THOSE AREN'T THE ISSUES IN THIS CURRENT TIME. There are a lot of issues here to be angry about. Calling someone sexist or racist is a HUGE accusation to make and it won't be tolerated here. We don't know each other well enough to make those assumptions. If you feel that way about someone being racist, sexist, homophobic etc... take it up with me, Giulia or Michele. Bring evidence... and not just.. he called her a goat.. All 5 members have been raked over here. I will leave my public opinion on Stevie and Mick's behavior aside for the moment to say that there's no room on this board for any of that bullcrap. We've known each other for a long time. (most of us) Find a different argument on BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN. Ok... Peace to all of you... Keep the debates rolling....
