If any of them try to throw him under the bus it’d be a lie, because it was a simple “him or me” situation. They will probably stick with their “he wanted to leave and do his thing” story.

I personally cannot wait for the truth to come out either...so that all of you Stevie haters have to eat crow. There is NO WAY that the rest of the band would stand behind firing Lindsey because of some stupid argument like this. He did something MAJOR. Take your goat comments and all of your silly, made up hate towards her and put it where the sun dont shine.

Oh, I have a pretty good idea where the sun does't shine, but I can't say it here because you won't like it at all.

I probably have said it a thousand times by now, but Stevie is a very powerful woman (not the abuse victim her fans like to portray), and what Stevie wants is what the band does. Except Lindsey. And that's why he was fired.

Yeah, right. Again, how convenient. That's why Mick is her soulmate.

I imagine there's probably some legal stuff that'll prevent anyone from fully saying what happened.

Women can be both powerful and mistreated. Especially back in the day, it's not hard to imagine women in the position that Stevie and Chris as well were in having to deal with a lot.

Back in the day, not now.

Yeah, they will probably smile and say over and over again how Lindsey wanted to "leave" the band.

If there is a Q&A, will someone ask Mick if he thinks they will re-master the Buckingham/Nicks cd.

LOL--even if he was, he'd still never pull a Joe Walsh on her.

Priceless!

Or will an audience member pull out ALL of Mick's many interviews over the past few years and read back to him all the times he hails LB's contributions to the band and talks about how "major" it is that the Rumours lineup is back in tact.
