I'm not sure why people seem so surprised that Lindsey is driving a Mercedes. What should he drive, a Corolla? Not that there's anything wrong with Corollas, but people [should] live within their means. And clearly he can afford a big-bad Mercedes. And by the way, that Mercedes looked like it was at least four years old. So it's not like he's not frugal in a sense.

Good point

It will always be the 'poor, starving' artist in him, one way or the other,won't it?

Why would you bregrudge the man the Mercedes? Gee, aren't you indirectly putting the money in his pocket? What should he do with it?

*Tries to keep from cracking up* True, but what about a nice Porsche or JAG for that matter? (Edit 2 add-From THIS year...lol) Afterall, you said it yourself, whether or not I'm indirectly providing the money for the man is irrelevant, if he has the means.. to LIVE within the means?

This was shot three years ago

So, it probably was new then

Believe me, I do not belittle LB for spending the cash he's got. I say more power to him and wish he all the best in it!!!!!! I am just pointing out that he loves to play the tortured artist who gives into the music industry, but he appears to like the rewards of what he seems to think of as giving in. In other words, LB appears to like fame and the money that comes with it, but at the same time he initially appears to want to make anything but commercial music which is how he got what he has and how he is able to continue to live and record in high style, etc. Thus, the conundrum of LB

What was it SN said when they started out about the high life "its a high price for your luxury."

BBALLGYPSY17 · #22 03-15-2004, 11:54 AM

^ He's a contradiction that way, (well in many ways actually

) but we wouldn't love him otherwise

Crack yourself up all you want. I think this car discussion is silly. I see it gained a lot of momentum in the Rumours board as well. I don't see why we should expect him not to drive a nice car.

It's just silly.

I really have no idea how Lindsey feels about cars. If he were a car guy, I bet he'd be driving anything but the biggest, baddest Mercedes there is. THose things are about as fun to drive as freakin tanks. It's obviously a family car for him.

Besides, why should the tortured artist role be exclusive of driving a nice car? When I think tortured artist, I think inner demons. It's not necessarily about what material things you possess. Gee, you don't think Curt Cobain could have afforded a Mercedes? (I have no idea what the man drove.) Sylvia Path came from a well-to-do family.

Again, this is a silly discussion.

BBALLGYPSY17 · #25 03-15-2004, 12:21 PM

And yet, you keep biting at the discussion.

You wouldn't play if you weren't interested...you're giving into the irony and your personal sense of sarcasm, silly or not

Well, I didn't say I don't enjoy a silly discussion now and then... Just look at my record on these boards.

Oh come on

You know I am not harping on his car, his house, or anything like that. I think if he wants, he can have ten of the nicest there are and I will shout out three cheers for him

I am solely talking about LB constantly saying for like 30 years that he does not want to be a commercial artist or at least that he never wants to release "commercial" work and its always FM or someone else that makes him. Similarly, he also claims not to care about the money, but he enjoys the money (who wouldn't

) AND his willingness to compromise for the last 30 or so years into commercial recordings is what keeps him in such luxuries

Again, I am not faulting him for any of these things. I am just saying after 30 years and probably at least as many millions of $$$ if not more, LB clearly does not have to sell out to commercialism in his own head. He could make all the records he wants and release them on the net. Yet, he does not. He continues to "sell out" to the commerical side. This makes me think that although LB clearly is a brilliant artist, he really does not mind the commerical side too much as it has afforded and continues to afford him a great lifestyle that he worked very hard for.

That Mercedes represents about 45 minutes of one concert that LB has performed in over his lifetime. My Honda represents about about 1/4 of my yearly salary. So I wouldn't say LB is living lavishly by the stupid Mercedes he drives. This conversation if pathetic

BBALLGYPSY17 · #29 03-15-2004, 02:18 PM

*Smirks and looks up at Jeffs* So you're not Privvy to some good old fashioned banter on the subject...though you just proved yourself wrong

with all due respect... if you are serious about the 'pathetic' what's up your ass?

*IS pathetic I believe you were saying.. not 'if', panties in a twist and all or are you just freaudianly calling the convo into question and/ or questioning your ability to call said convo into question

You guys are good! Lots of excellent points
were made all around! Lindsey drove up in a Gold
Land Rover when Jessica met him at... That House
on the Hill...now bulldozed to build for their Kids!

One does need a safe Mercedes for the kiddo's!

Sky

P.S. Remember him pointing where the new high-tech
Recording Studio will be for the next

F Mac Album!

Iam remembering Rock and Rollers love to fight it out!
Maybe I better watch the video again and rethink it all!
