I don't know what happened after the lawsuit but she definitely experienced a change of heart, IMO. I don't know if the lawsuit had anything to do with it, but we know she wasn't happy with Bob suing them. Maybe it was something else, but she's Team Stevie now. And that something I'd never, ever understand.

Lindsey suing the band was something completely understandable from a business standpoint. And considering how fast they settled, he was completely within his right. |

I think it's self preservation more than anything.
Christine is tied to Mick and John. Mick and Christine are the parents of Fleetwood Mac. And the baby brat demanded through her mgmt that Lindsey be taken out or good luck moving on without her. Christine is more than happy to join the world of Rock and Roll again. However, she's not going to do it without the millions of dollars everyone else is making. And don't forget, she no longer gets royalties. As an actor, musician, or any kind of talent based organization. It all comes down to self preservation. Christine makes a stand, the whole thing blows up and she goes home and sits in her London apartment thinking of how she could tour a solo album by herself. Face it, you can speculate why she's team Azoff/Nick$; but, it's clear as day to me. This was a female narrative. A girl power theme to fit in with today's politically correct society. Of course, they are going to beat on the men a bit. And especially the man that was fired because NOBODY WAS HAPPY. It's sad that they didn't make it 3 hours and cover everyone's transgressions. For example, I was really impossible to deal with on a professional level WHEN I WAS DOING ALL THAT COKE AND THEN PILLS, and I can't blame Lindsey for leaving. Last point I want to make is this: I believe in my heart that Lindsey was fired in part because he left all those years ago in 1987. There is a small part of them saying, take that!! It's wrong and it makes me ill. But, that's my 30,000 foot view.

If Christine doesn't realize what Stevie and Mick are doing, then she's not the smart person I thought she was.

Well, it never occurred to me his firing was payback for those days, but it could be. They waited for him to sign for their upcoming tour, and next thing he knows, bam!!, you're no longer part of it! How does it feel now that we're doing IT to you?

The documentary was okay, but what all the old stuff about Lindsey and Stevie was doing in there....I don’t know
It was supposed to be about Christine, so yes her relationship with John, now and then, was right to be there. Lindsey’s sacking was okay to talk about as it’s pertinent to Fmac today( and why they have the current line up) but wasn’t really discussed.?? The sacking of Lindsey has its origins way back...at least back to 1998, when he became a father....but maybe even further back than that. Maybe he put her down one time too many. In Stevie’s mind payback would be due one day and she could wait, and boy she waited. |

It's really interesting how Stevie loves to tell the coke era tales and the hole in her nose story when it pertains to herself, her own drama, and her own "comeback" per say, but she almost NEVER in recent years addresses it in terms of how it fully impacted the rest of the band in 1987. As more time passes, the narrative of Lindsey leaving persists but the other side of the story gets put on the back burner, conveniently the rest of the band never addresses it either, but let's talk about Lindsey leaving some more.
If we really want to talk about leaving promoters hanging and blah blah blah, let's talk about leaving a record contract hanging because somebody was too coked up to show up for half the record. Had Christine and Lindsey not been able to hobble together TITN, they would of really been up the creek for both the record and the tour. And Stevie REALLY owes Sandy Stewart a solid for bailing her out with Seven Wonders.

Remember how Mick said Christine stood up to Stevie and wouldn’t have it when Stevie started whining about not being on Christine’s songs? Christine said, I wanted you on my songs too, but YOU WEREN’T THERE!
But wait, um, who was that person Petty and Dylan had hanging around them? |

He was reticent to record an album? TITN saw the light of day thanks to Lindsey and Christine, while Stevie was too coked up to even remember what she was doing. THAT's why he was under strain. Because of Stevie and her deterioration in front of everybody, but especially in front of him. Christine and Lindsey are the reason we had some form of FM music these past couple of years. Not Stevie. I'm mad at Lindsey for wasting so much time on these people. Too bad he didn't leave them in 1987 and never came back.

It wasn’t just Stevie. Mick was in a crazed and needy state too at that time. It was hard to work with him and Lindsey said that he knew from Tusk that if it’s bad in the studio it’s going to be 10 times worse on the road.
He left after giving them an album to tour on. A very successful album. |
