I thought he was answering with such class.
But then he lost me when he went political. I know it was a political event. And I expected him to be liberal like the majority of celebrities are. Even so, I am disappointed. I wish I hadn't even watched the video. |

Lindsey was playing at a fundraiser for a democratic candidate. He would need to say SOMETHING to the crowd, and he was on-message for the event. He also made it clear that a big reason he was there was that he was asked by Cameron Crowe, the director, with whom he is good friends and he says "I would do anything for Cameron". You know, loyalty.

I'll preface by saying that I'm sure I largely disagree with his politics but Lindsey was speaking at political fundraiser and sharing his views - I respect that. I think he addressed what happened with incredible class, given that he was basically stabbed in the back by a "faction" within the band. I agree that this move has indeed damaged the band's legacy.

Am I being too hopeful or did he seem like he’d be forgiving if reconciliation was on the table?
The part that interested me most was how he talked about the “factions” losing their perspective and not rising above to fulfill their destiny... what does he mean by that? I take it to mean that Stevie would rather tour/get money over pursuing creative fulfillment through an album... but that doesn’t really seem to fit with the established narrative given that no Fleetwood Mac album was on the table. Unless he is saying that they tried to suppress his artistic truth because he wanted to use this time for another album, as was reported in the press. This whole thing is so sad.

It sure is. And I was expressing how I felt.
While understanding it was a political event. |

This is a democracy and thank god there are still people who have a point of view with critical thinking skills intact. There’s a big world out there when you turn off Fox News. Wake the **** up. |

Fox News for me. But there's a plus side to that, no MSNBC either. I'm just a poor uneducated Southerner who's having difficulty understanding your post. But I thought we weren't suppose to post personal attacks on The Ledge. Then again, you've outsmarted me again. You painted with such a broad brush that the moderators couldn't possibly know that you were trying to cut me down. You are clever, no doubt about it. |

????? Bit of a strange one. I can't seem to find it now but I'm sure there was footage of Lindsey a couple of years ago playing guitar (with another musician- cant remember who) at another political fundraiser. Was it for Tim Kaine????

LB is a democrat and fans know it, on both sides of the aisle as far as politics goes - and that doesn't defer them from being fans.
we can stop discussing that particular kind of politics here.
