Not so convinced Lindsey's songs ever would have been given a fair shake on radio no matter what year.
Speaking of Tango. Big Love is really a Lindsey solo song. I bet even if was released as a song in 1987 as a Lindsey solo song, it would not have charted.
The huge buzz of a reunited Mac put those songs front and center with MTV.
But that's my point and Lindsey's frustration. Unlike Stevie, why do my solo songs never get played. I remember Lindsey making a crack to Rolling Stone in 1982 that his songs on Mirage never get played.

From what I have heard from casual or non-fans, Lindsey's songs post Rumours, solo or with FM, just lack mass appeal. They may try too hard to be catchy or quirky and end up irritating. And he himself lacks the X factor for some reason.

Silly Lindsey never came to Peru
At that time there was a radio that used to play Can't come back very often. It became one of my favorites, with Gypsy. Then a friend of mine got the (vynil) album, it sounded terrific!

Do you mean, "Can't Go Back"? I love that song!! They really played it in Peru? That's awesome.

What the hell was I thinking? Yes, of course I meant Can't Go Back! I probably got some glasses of red wine while writing that.

I'm intrigued that they played it in Peru.
