It truly was! I love Lindsey's little "oww"s in it. I usually look in the rear view mirror while driving, and do the owws with him.

Exactly my point, though. The story was big news and it was everywhere in the music press. The Mac fans already bought the album by that point. It was people like me who might have been curious about the band but didn’t know the back story that bought the album around that time. The guy who’d recently had a massive hit with Fleetwood Mac just quit. Gotta check that out!

No, Lindsey’s departure definitely wasn’t underplayed by the band. |

Hold Me was only a hit because of the limelight of Bella Donna. Stevie leaving Fleetwood Mac for her smash album created a huge music buzz. I remember it was in all the papers and on the radio that after her smash album she was already back in the Mac. Her album was still high on the charts still charting singles when Hold Me was released. Her last single from Bella Donna was released in April 1982 and Hold Me was released just 2 months later. I remember on the radio they would introduce Hold Me as the latest single from Stevie's band Fleetwood Mac. Many thought the Mac jumped the shark after Tusk and then Stevie had this HUGE solo album. People were shocked that she was back in the Mac so fast. Even Stevie said she never mentioned Bella Donna in France because she did not want to put it in their face. All that drama, news media, and limelight from #1 Bella Donna made Hold Me a huge hit. Without that, it probably would have charted Love in store territory or maybe #18 or #19. But all the drama if Stevie was leaving the Mac after her huge album still riding high on the charts pumped Hold Me to be one of the biggest hits of 1982.

Stevie going solo in 1981 was a much bigger and dramatic story than Lindsey deciding to not tour with the band in 1987 and quit. Most people would not even know who Lindsey was except core fans. In 1981 everyone knew who Stevie Nicks was. Endless stories of her "leaving" the band and even more surprised she went back. Without her mad success and endless stories of what was to become of Fleetwood Mac after Bella Donna dragged Hold Me to be a monster hit. It would have bogged down at #18 at the most.

Lindsey just had a top 5 hit with Fleetwood Mac a few months earlier and Fleetwood Mac was actively promoting a successful album. Look at all of the video interviews still lingering on YT from 1987. Even if they didn’t know his name, they knew the singer/songwriter/guitarist from Fleetwood Mac, who was in the two videos that were still in heavy rotation at the time, one being a massive hit he sang lead vocals on, just quit. You keep trying to draw half-cocked parallels, but none of those situations were the same.

Nobody outside of core fans knew who John or Christine McVie were. Why would anyone care that they were divorcing? People were only buying those albums because the songs were great.

Clearly. Obviously GYOW, Dreams, Don’t Stop, and YMLF were so great they just sold themselves, really. Nobody cared that the personal relationships within the band had turned into a four alarm $h!tshow. At that stage in their careers, nobody outside of fans even knew who they were.
