That's why the conflicting narratives ("we reached an impasse" vs. "I acquiesced to their demands and they fired me anyway") are each accurate in the minds of the respective parties.

Nothing is inaccurate on Lindsey's mind. I'm sure he understood the decision had already been made even though he backed off his demands. I'm sure he realized this had already been planning since Classic East. But he probably thought that after, what? 43 years of work , they could, maybe, I don't know, made an exception? Change their minds? Pardon him for whatever he may have done?

Because truth is we still don't know what was exactly that he did that was soooooo terrible that they couldn't change their minds, no matter what.

There's no misunderstanding in what they did in any minds.

I just listened to a video of you make loving fun from the tail end of this tour and it was so slow and lagging that I didn’t even recognize the song at first. It’s no wonder they needed something to keep the engine running.

Also, I’m wondering if any pre recorded harmonies were a way to get around stevies most likely insistence to add her off key harmonies to the mix. Lindsey isn’t often perfect by any means but good lord her harmonies during The Chain on this last tour...yikes.

Lindsey made the mistake of loving them like family instead of realizing what pieces of sh*t they really were under it all.

Ditto! I really, really, really hope he doesn't fall into their trap anymore.
