Yes, he did all those things and ought to be congratulated for them. He also: - Tried to force Stevie's hand and cajole her into recording a studio album with Fleetwood Mac by recording eight songs with Mick and John shortly after her mother died. He then tried her to convince her to sing on these when she clearly did not want to and of course, he knew that all along. - He is the man who said to/about Christine "she can't just come and go", after he left the band for ten years from 1987-1997 and came back for one off appearances in 1990 and 1993 giving fans false hope for a reunion - ok, until the reunion happened, after ten years of to-ing and fro-ing. - He wanted to intersperse solo shows with Fleetwood Mac shows. Hardly could say "stand with my band" on that front. - Got so caught up in the lustful of appeal of new music that he forgot about the financial rewards of touring as well as the higher fan demand for touring versus new music. - He got his wish and released a pseudo Fleetwood Mac album without Stevie and STILL was NOT satisfied and wanted to do a second album with Stevie involved. Pushed for this prior to the current tour, even when he knew it was not what she wanted and she had told him several (MANY) times why. |

I especially love the part about "forcing Stevie to do something". As if Karen would have allowed that!

Fleetwoodf*cking Mac would have died by 1980 if it weren't for HIM. Bunch of f*cking ignorant, selfish, egomaniacs, they are.

He played along on 2-3 songs at those BTM shows as it was to be the last show with Chris and Stevie. He played exactly ONE song in 1993 as requested by the then President-Elect during inauguration planning. |

If you're a fan of A BAND, and you're characterizing CREATING MUSIC as some sort of lesser endeavor to a massive arena tour in which they play songs we've all heard on numerous previous tours, how could you ever understand the frustrations of someone who puts that creative process first? It's not as if Lindsey was demanding the band stop touring altogether and only record new music. He was saying, Let's do what we've always* done and put an album out first, then tour behind it. I personally know I'll never understand why that suddenly became such a burdensome ask from 2005-2018. *Until 2009. |

So, why was Lindsey not satisfied with the 2014-2015 tour and the 2017 tour being the Fleetwood Mac crowning achievement and farewell? |

Because "with the finish line in sight" (as he put it), they tarnished the legacy of a band in which he had invested much of his working life.

Yeah, well, when you need to explain something we already explained a thousand times, it becomes a pointless conversation.
