Lindsey's Heart??

[Bit_Image]

Am I the only one who can see that Lindsey is still in love with Stevie? I can find nothing of late regarding their feelings for each other. I saw a fairly recent video clip where Lindsey was singing ‘Never go Back’, which he wrote about her and he paused for a minute and you could see that he was feeling her and then he got all choked up. Both Lindsey and Stevie have written dozens of songs about the love that they share. They seem like a modern day Immortal Beloved. Each of them has revealed themselves to me in their music, and I love them for that, which is why I am consumed by their love issues. I believe that Stevie keeps her feelings hidden better than Lindsey, from what videos I have seen of him singing to her or about her. I believe that Stevie has always and continues to “taunt” Lindsey with her lyrics that hit you like a slap in the face. Nearly every song that he has composed lately seems to be about her. Perhaps its Lindsey’s questionable marriage or perhaps it’s their passion for their music that continues this spectacle, but nothing would please me more than the two of them getting together.

Are you sure that the recent clip of Lindsey singing NGBA wasn't from John Stewart's memorial? If it was, I would think that he had John in mind while he was singing and got choked up.

I think that Stevie and Lindsey will always hold a special place for each other in their hearts, however, they have both moved on, years ago.

At the shows I've attended, the so-called "affection" between Stevie and Lindsey seemed very forced and done only to please the audience.

As for Lindsey's "questionable marriage," the interactions and affection shown during the documentary on Lindsey's Live At Bass Performance Hall DVD seem far more genuine than any recent thing I've seen of Lindsey and Stevie.

All in your perceptions, I guess.

Why would Lindsey be singing NGBA at John Stewart's memorial? I thought he just did John's songs...

He mentioned it a bit at the concert. NGBA is a good example of Lindsey's modified Travis-style fingerpicking, which he picked up largely from old Kingston Trio albums -- listening to John Stewart play!

John Stewart was a big fan of the white FM album, & used to tell Nick Reynolds that he -- Stewart -- swore that Lindsey was playing banjo style with his electric guitar on that album.

Each one influenced the playing style of the other, to an extent -- but they didn't know about the mutual influence until some time later when they actually met.

Oh, ok. Yeah, I knew Lindsey and John were co-influencers. I just didn't think Lindsey sang NGBA at the funeral/memorial. Thanks for the info about the White album - interesting take on the finger picking style. I'll have to re-listen with that in mind.

Dreaming, did you ever see the Kingston Trio Reunion 1981 on video? John tells the story there before playing YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO KANSAS (on his Turner Model 1).

I think they will always love and care for one another. I don't think Lindsey is "in love" with her anymore.

Joe Walsh is the love of Stevie's life not Lindsey, and Kristen for obvious reasons is the love of Lindsey's life not Stevie. I think that answers the question about Lindsey's heart.

Well I used to think that, especially when I first saw The Dance on PBS, that there was a certain chemistry between Lindsey & Stevie that maybe carried over into their personal life. But that was about the time that Kristen got pregnant for the first time I believe, & then everything changed. Now I think Lindsey & Stevie are happier in their separate lives the way they are now. I have read different things that Stevie has said that have caused me to think that they even don't get along too well now. She's said that he was not very nice to her during their last tour, so maybe it's just creative differences there. They still have that chemistry on stage; I think they will always have that, but as for their personal life, I think not.

I basically agree with Lee. I think Lindsey and Stevie's chemistry during The Dance was incredible. Maybe there was something going on then, maybe not, but everything about that show was so intense and...you almost feel like a voyeur when you see how heated it was between them on stage. Could be acted, could be not, but they were good.

Since then, however, not too much. I think Live in Boston was sort of drab chemistry, to be honest. I LOVE that DVD, though, but mainly because of Lindsey's energy and overall craziness. If I hadn't known about SnL prior to, however, I wouldn't have thought much about their relationship from just watching that.

I really think Lindsey's moved on with his family. He looks positively content and a certain warmth radiates from him when I see pics of him with his children. Nothing's perfect, but he sure looks like he's got a lot to be grateful for. Stevie seems totally happy doing her thing. I'm not thrilled with her continually dragging LB's name through the mud in interviews, but that's her prerogative I suppose, even if it makes her sound a little sour. I'm aware that neither are perfect, but feel they both seem to be in pretty good- and very separate-places in their lives.

I'm going to use preschool logic here and say, "If he loves her, why doesn't he marry her?" Case closed. I think it's futile to overanalyze something like this.

But to the person who mentioned something about a Lindsey/Christine fling, that would be kinda hot.

And I too hate when people call her "Christy".

I apologize for calling her Christy. Please understand, I am a newbie in regards to my fanfare of Fleetwood Mac. Being 36, I listened to their songs all my life. However, it wasn’t until I found the connection between Stevie and Lindsay did I become truly impressed with their talent. When I began to learn of their past, I began to piece together the lyrics of their songs. It is at this point that I truly became immersed in FM. I know what it is like to have loved and have lost, and the FM saga somehow helps me understand myself when I listen to the songs now. The impact of their words and music have made a difference in my life.
