But the way they(those fans) lap that sh*t up makes me want to vomit! On the fans who lap, AND Stevie and Lindsey as well! Stop acting like IDIOTS!

I disagree, I always see it as Lindsey laying on the over the top affection....kissing her hands and head, rubbing her back, Eskimo kisses, saying I love yous....the lot. Its seldom Stevie being 'sloppy datey'. That's what sets the shippers off, as he's the married one so it doesn't make sense why he is so much more intimate than her?

Oh, I agree. Just saying that I can’t totally blame people for buying into something they were actively selling.

Maybe in 1997, but not so much on the 2009 and 2013 tours. He seemed to be begrudgingly playing along, at least to me. Notice how he’s been kind of quiet about Stevie since Christine came back.

Did you see any footage of the 2015 Australian and NZ tour particularly during Landslide and Sara....Lindsey was a horny teenager!

It's an interesting point because you had a few fans that were absolutely enraged when Christine came back. And felt she completely ruined SNL relationship.

The marketing worked. I would read hate posts on a B/N page about Christine. It was quite hilarious.

He bit her shoulder on the 2013 Nashville concert and Stevie didn't even blink. On the 2015 NZ concert (the last of the tour) their goodbye after the last song was out of a love movie.

I don't think Lindsey was playing along.

Yes, and I remember at that time some turd posted a YouTube video claiming Christine was a 70 year old transvestite who wormed her way back into the band and brought it down.

doesn't he often behave like a horny teenager though? i mean, big love grunts? guitarbation? ISA solo faces and poses? Come performances (and lyrics including the title in the first place!)?

Now square this with the post-firing of Lindsey where they insist they had the tour all set and ready to go.

Question....Was the Eagles track "Lyin' eyes" written about Stevie by any chance....?

True this interview in hindsight is hilarious and adds to the the band is lying story, which people seem to care way too much about.
