Do we even know how much he got? All that was said is that they settled.

One could argue that’s perhaps the biggest thing holding her back. She’s always had plenty of business people telling her why NOT to record albums and why she should do the greatest hits tours, but she hasn’t surrounded herself with a creative group of people in quite a long time.

Some have short memories around here. Remember when the Mac tried some of Chris's songs on the Unleashed tour. It was Fleetwood Mac and it was a pathetic version of Say You Love Me. Stevie botched the simplest lyrics that she heard for almost 20 years.
Dear Lord, NO. Here is a devil's advocate position. Lets say on both of her solo stints this summer she never mentions Chris and there are no tributes to anyone. I am fine with that. I dont honestly believe she does not miss Chris. Without Chris's loving demeanor, Stevie may not have had a career. Stevie knows that. But I could see this board lighting up what a witch Stevie is for not singing Christine songs or mentioning her. When the Mac was on tour in 2018 and Lindsey was in the hospital, I remember this board lit up like a Christmas tree bashing them for not saying something or doing something on stage night after night. I was a silent minority that thought that was a good thing. They literally stabbed him in the back and threw him under the tour bus for ego and big money. I would have been furious if they dared to care about him now. I never said anything on the board until Lindsey's wife came out and said the same thing I said. With her cover, I came out and said it. She has boxed herself in and is now pressed to put in a break in her show and do an even bigger memorial than Prince or Tom. If she does not do it, she will be vilified which sort of defeats the purpose, no?

I’m assuming you’re giving Stevie’s solo career and ego a pass? (As usual)

I also thought Christine’s 1984 album was great. And, since we’re going there, I really liked John’s album and The Visitor is easily the boldest creative statement any of them made.

Regarding Family Man and Empire State....I only need to say one thing. When I See You Again. Anyone with an opinion could say the same thing about Wish You Were Here. That's such a bunk argument to make. At least the guy could show up for more than 6 weeks. Yeah, he filled out that album while Stevie dried out in rehab.

From what I've read from you, it seemed liked you felt Mick's biggest mistake was hiring Lindsey for FM. And that you thought Rick Vito blows Lindsey out if the water on guitar and that he and Billy should have been the guy singers and guitarist in the band. I talk abiut Stevie's great songs all the time. I even like Shiw Them the Way at first but now after 2 years, it fall flat to me lyrically, but the music is good. ETA: you do agree with me that Stevie is the reason the 2018 FM didn't record new songs, right? |

I’ve seen Lindsey outside of Fleetwood Mac four times. My loyalties are with Mick, John, and Christine.

I just find it interesting that even the people she has worked with, it's been in a rather limited capacity and never continued. She was even reluctant to take advice from Jimmy during the Bella Donna sessions. He sort of departed during RAL and never returned. Rupert from OSOTM, same thing. Sheryl Crow & TISL, never worked together since.

However, I’ve also said they weren’t the creative visionaries the band needed. They weren’t going to be the guys to push the envelope. I never said that hiring Lindsey was a mistake. I have a lot of issues with Lindsey that are about his attitude and sense of entitlement that’s at times as comical as Stevie’s divadom. (“I don’t listen to stuff like Bryan Adams, I seek out things like Kodo.”) Quote:

Two, in the case with Lindsey’s emergency surgery and subsequent recovery, the band was damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Some people would be outraged if the band expressed condolences, while others would be outraged if they didn’t. No-win situation there. I suspect Lindsey appreciated any well wishes, no mater who they were from. Third, and this isn’t directed solely to you by any means, Macfan4life, but to others who are saying Stevie shouldn’t do a tribute to Christine- Stevie can do whatever she likes. Chances are, the people here saying she shouldn’t do a tribute won’t be at the concerts anyway, right? I would be thrilled if Lindsey paid tribute to Christine in his next tour. |
