yeah we were just talking about it on fb. doesn't look anything like him, especially the nose. and you can't see much more, you can't see even his whole hand. but i guess it has to be him, so...

Looks just like him. And, so it is!

Y'all are so weird. Why piss on the discovery of a rare part of musical history? Geez.

Be excited. Just because Stevie is in it doesn't make it a bad thing!

Look Elle - there's Lindsey playing the guitar as a babe in the woods! Woo hoo!

man. another one of the thought/expression control police showed up. be happy! be excited! any other thoughts not allowed.

i do think it IS him. 1971, what is that, middle of Fritz era?

but you can't see him at all, and what you can see of him looks nothing like him.

and, why would it be a bad thing just because SN is in the pic?

How is saying that doesn't look like Lindsey urinating on anything?

Yes, posture, looks, weight all foreign. The only similarity between him and the "known" Lindsey is the hair color. Michele

wdm6789: Now correct me if I'm wrong, but in the picture of the band bowing to Jim Devenney it appears as if John is offering up a joint and one of their signature bottle caps of cocaine to Jim.

As far as the joint goes, I don’t think so because John didn’t smoke pot and didn’t like it. The cap on the other hand I can neither confirm or deny, I just don’t know, probably just a prop for the pic?

…..r

Yeah if you look at the picture, John is holding two bottle caps of cocaine, one in each hand. The way his right hand looks, it appears like he's holding a joint. But after further review, I think he's holding two bottle caps of coke.

It is getting awfully Orwellian here, isn't it?

I always thought Lindsey on the cover of the BN album didn't really look like him. He almost looks more like one of the Eagles.

I'm pretty sure these pictures have to be him, but I think we could mostly agree that it doesn't look like Rumours era Lindsey.

I could be wrong, but I think that's the same Martin he used for years prior to Fleetwood Mac.

Well, I was thinking that it didn't much look like the pre-FM Lindsey, but yes when Richard said he recognized the guitar, that was certainly a clincher.

I don't think it looks like Lindsey = You are saying that they aren't in love!! Why can't you just believe they are still secretly together! You hate Stevie!!

[secret love]

The most offensive thing you can say to someone is to tell them how to think. My opinion is my business, not yours!

When people post things on the Ledge that I disagree with, I try to refrain from saying their opinion is wrong. Instead I like to tell them my different view and explain why I feel that way.

I completely agree with Elle about "thought police". There is a proliferation of them here on the Ledge. The thought police seem unaware how rude it is to tell someone to change their way of thinking. That is the job of psychiatrists only! It is not the job of Ledgies!

Yes, that's completely what CAD meant...

MAYBE it could've been worded better but I do agree that it's a little strange that there is much debating as to his identity and whether his nose is quite the same or whatever. It is VERY cool to have a new photo from this time period so yeah, it was odd to come here and Facebook and just see people going 'oh, well, really doesn't look like him...'. That's all. No, there's no need to tell people how to react but surprise at how people HAVE reacted is something I do understand, and I felt it myself.

I mean, it's no big deal, but I think the comment CAD made doesn't seem to exactly warrant all this blathering about 'thought police' and so on. IMO.
