He doesnt have to change his style to what's popular now. He could perhaps put out an album that was remotely interesting tho.

I mean: if you want to win a bigger audience, you have to relate to the "mainstream-alternative-audience". People that accept Bright Eyes, Queens of the Stone Age, Ryan Adams, White Stripes. Mainstream quirkyness. Yes that sounds as a contradiction, but there's a huge market there, love.

But wouldn't it be great to say "told you so" to all the people who jump on the lindsey bandwagon after he's releadse an interesting album that goes to at least the top 10.
I cant believe after all the critics raving reviews that people havent copped on. And I certianly dont believe he's too old and he definately dosent believe hes too old. Sure he planning on "staying around as long as he can" He need to release a rock album and the remaining gift of screws in back to back succession. Whilst appearing on more music mag covers....namley Rolling Stone Then he needs to do tour the UK and Europe before the end of 2008, however he could be doing with a decent back up band to perform before he goes on. A bit of Media Hype is only minor hurdle.

I love UTS, so every time we get an article about it, I'm glad to see other people realizing Lindsey's genius outside of Fleetwood Mac. And it was really great to see him included in the -06 end of year lists and stuff like that. But I'm afraid that even that doesn't translate into mainstream acceptance. Hell, I've seen a lot of people on this board who can't digest UTS... and they're all familiar with his quirks. That doesn't give me much hope about the masses. That's okay, though. Lindsey obviously lives comfortably and enjoys what he does. I don't feel a militant need, as a fan, to recruit more listeners. If someone who isn't familiar with his work can't just pick the records up and enjoy them, I have no desire to talk his music with that person. As such, I have no desire to see him change to suit that person. (I am not talking about you or anyone on this board at all, to be clear. I'm talking about Joe Schmoe on the street.) Does that make sense? I'm having a hard time putting thoughts into words this morning. As far as the GOS tracks go, sure it'd be nice to hear them all finished up. But I've heard them, am used to them, and like them the way they are. If he polished them and set them free, I'd enjoy them for sure... but he's said that he's been writing more stuff while he's on the road, and THAT'S what I want to hear on the next record. More, more, more! And Tusk is a bit of a different situation. Tusk going Top 10 and somewhat appealing to the mainstream is part and parcel of the Rumours drama that had everyone interested, anyway. If it had really appealed to the mainstream, it would have sold more coming of Rumours coattails. (Again, not that 5/6 million isn't a lot, because it is a boat-load.)

Yep. Even Lindsey himself seems to have accepted it finally.

Exactly! Oh, and ticket prices need to stay low. See, as much as I want him to get more noticed, I equally do not. Then ticket prices will go up, brokers will get really bad and I won't be able to see as many shows and get front row. It's a trade off. So, at this point, I'm happy Lindsey is getting more recognition, but not enough to screw with my concert experiences. (Oh, did I ever tell anyone that I was selfish? I am. )

Following what Sarah and Ryan said, Tusk was the first (I think) single after Rumours. Of course people are going to want to hear it. Do you think it's just a fluke that all of his other bizarre music has been completely ignored by everybody on the planet besides his biggest fans since Tusk came out? Did they even like the other stuff on Tusk? Maybe at first they admired Lindsey for his bold move, but then the novelty wore off.

I was talking about the quirkiness of tusk-the single. I'd love it if he brought out a single that earpiercing. That's the only way he could gain some new credit by people who don't know him and who are interested in quirkiness.

Sarah and those of us that actually read her post didn't forget. But I do believe we already explained that little phenomenon.
Actually we just explained the single's success. The album's success was also helped quite a bit by the commercially accessible members of the band. And the fact that it was 1979 and Fleetwood freaking Mac.

Didn't Lindsey say in an interview that he was expecting UTS to have sold 200,000-300,000 copies by summer? I'm pretty sure he said that in a couple of different interviews. That would be worldwide I'd assume.
