I agree and think LB likes pushing the envelope and I like it when he does. But, my point was and is I do think LB is not the maverick he perhaps would like to be or like for us to think he is because although he bemoans the industry and its control of him as he did in DR - he simultaneously seeemingly loves it and works pretty well in it - I mean he keeps running back to it Maybe he is running back for Stevie - who knows - be he runs back to it nonetheless. Thus, he is a mini-maverick (levity) |

I don't think one has to love an industry and never complain about it and some of the its more rigid "rules" in order to work in it. I've been grateful for my paychecks, but that doesn't mean I never complain about my employer or don't long for priorities to be different. It seems to me that Lindsey, who grew up with the industry, so to speak, and remembers how different it used to be, is not precluded from being nervous and uncertain about leaving behind the label he knows and all of the people he's familiar with. As you alluded to earlier, black and white is rarely reality. Shades of gray is where most of life takes place. Lindsey said something about how how he doesn't always accomplish his ultimate goal, but his intention is pure. That's pretty much how I think he, as well as the rest in the band, and most of us, get through life. You have a set of priorities that you strive toward. You don't always have things turn out exactly as you thought they might, but you don't stop aspiring to those ideals in some fashion, and making concessions to realities and insecurities, each time out of the gate.

Wow, I post this late at night and wake up this morning and the post is in a frenzy! Seriously, I didn't post this for any other reason other than because I thought the quote was funny. Anyhoo.

Now, whether that made him lazy is another question. I don't think it did.

THis is funny - we could alternately torture each other while not being repulsed by the song we're using for torture. Awesome.

That's what I tell Jason: "Working for a living is what they mean by being a responsible adult, Jay." He doesn't get it. He tried working last year at (of all places) Guitar Center. Now, if there's anywhere I would think a musician would want to work if he had to, it would be Guitar Center. Jay lasted about a month there. I had a great laugh when he told me he had quit. I doubt anyone in Fleetwood Mac did -- or would have wanted to do -- much in the way of full-time workplace employment, particularly in their 20s. So many musicians, especially those who have tasted even a little bit of the Big Time, just won't force themselves to trudge off to work every morning & keep it going for years -- like the rest of us. Maybe Lindsey was just like all these guys like Jason in their 20s. They must have been as numerous then as they are now. As for Stevie, even if she worked full-time (40 hours a week) at some point, it wouldn't have been longer than about 12 or 13 months, would it? She wouldn't have worked before "Buckingham Nicks" stiffed; it would have been after, when they had been dropped by Polydor. That was in early '74 or so (the album was released in late '73). And LB & SN were put on Fleetwood Mac salary starting in early '75, right? Look out! I mean, people make it sound as if it was really something out of the ordinary . . . "Oh my god, Stevie Nicks held a . . . a . . . JOB!!" There must have been a recession at the time, because otherwise how could two healthy kids not have been able to support themselves in the Los Angeles area without starving?

I had a friend in college who always bitched and moaned on the weekends that he couldn't go out anywhere or buy any food because he was broke. I had never met someone in college who wasn't borke, but he was a rarity. He had never held a job in his life, even while in college, and he had the gall to complain to others that he couldn't afford this or that. I told him once that maybe he should get a job not just because it would give him money, but because it might give him a little purpose instead of just lounging around doing nothing. He told me it was too much work and he didn't have the patience. Quote:
