Pretty sure that even now there are far more than 100 people who are members of this board and several of the people that do still post already said they weren't taking sides. Further, the opinions of a pretty specific group of individuals won't at all be relevant to a reasoned examination of contract law. (and whatever else comes out from both sides during this whole mess) That will really be all that matters in the end.

I voted a while back.I hope Lindsey wins his lawsuit he filed against the band.This is very sad situation with Lindsey and the band.I have been fan since the 1970's.I'm 60 years old.I wish the band and Stevie and Lindsey had sat down together, even privately and worked this out. Instead of just firing him.And completely refusing to talk to him or communicate with him.

100+ is a good sample of Ledgies, especially of the number of people that actually post and show interest in the band here. I'd say if you did another sample of 100, you'd get the same result. Not to mention there are people in their personal lives that have the same sentiments. So it's not just here, but it's out there, in the media. What we've seen and heard from FM and Lindsey make most of us feel that he was wronged. Maybe we don't know the whole story. Maybe we never will. But, I feel that FM has a tarnished image in the eyes of many people, diehard and casual fans alike. So that is very relevant to the business of FM.


In the meantime we wait for the lawsuit to be settled one way or another. Let there be justice. But I'm not sure if there will be a real winner.

Yes, no real winners. Hence why some of us didn't vote for either.

There's no point (to me anyway) in voting in a rigged poll.

We're voting for justice, not winners.

I don’t think the group of people on this board which now seems to have whittled down to those who are borderline obsessed with the lawsuit (myself included) are anywhere close to representative of the general public. However, I think if people were told that Lindsey is suing because he was told he was fired for smirking and complaining about an intro song, and that FM’s only public statement was that they couldn’t come to terms about the tour, and that Lindsey refutes this statement, then overwhelming number would root for him.

If there is more to this story, which I continue to believe, FM needs to get it out there.

Quite frankly, why should we believe the band at this point, they have lied numerous times to the fans, so a new statement will also be viewed in that context. Any justifications regarding firing Lindsey that isn't based around the sheer ego of Stevie is just not going to fly. Be honest, say she hates him, and they took her side due to the financial gains of a tour with her vs a tour with Lindsey. Be ****ing real.

Probably wouldn't be justifiable cause to fire him in a court of law, especially with their volatile interpersonal relationships within the band, for MANY years.

Yes, and here we are. As far as the tour statement goes, we already know that was a lie. Were they protecting Lindsey or Stevie or the band by not dishing the real dirt?

Can we get 100?!

#Team Lindsey!

I’d rather he not sued at all. I’d rather see him just walk away with more dignity than seeming like the jilted ex girlfriend who’ll do anything to get back with their ex. That said I’m always on Lindsey’s side. Why was it okay for Stevie to control things with her absence? Her solo tour kept the band from touring and even turned an FM album to a duet with 4/5 members. Then Lindsey decides to do something with his solo career and it’s not okay? And to top it off she’s going to get in the RARHOF as a solo artist? I find that undeserving to say the least. My opinion.

So, please, give me your sources on that accusation. The general rule is that FM tours every 3 years, give or take (the 2014-2015 tour was an exception due to Christine). So it's been 3 years since the On with the Show tour, so this current tour is happening according to schedule. Keep in mind that Stevie's last solo album was released right in the middle of the last Fleetwood Mac tour. Did she whine and complain about not being able to do a solo tour or cut the tour short? No, because that FM tour went on for over a year. So not only did she participate in back-to-back FM tours in 2013 and 2014-2015, she recorded and released a solo album that she didn't promote due to her obligations with FM. That is a 180-degree contrast with what Lindsey is trying to do.

Regarding the RRHOF, you don't think that her solo career hasn't been successful or influential? "Edge of Seventeen" alone was the inspiration for two movies and a Broadway musical. She's released multiple platinum and gold Top 10 solo albums and continues to play arenas as a solo act. Many artists age out of the system or eventually fade away into obscurity; Stevie has continued to work consistently and her influence as a singer and songwriter is acknowledged among many of her peers. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge, objectively, the merits of her RRHOF nomination really defies credibility.

I'd love to see your shrine. Really. I'll bet it's amazing! I am being serious.
