Oho! But his guitars are of a hearty constitution. They aren't pampered or babied. Sure, they're stroked often, but also very used to being pulled, thrown, hoisted aloft, battered.

One of you asked (maybe in some other thread) whether Lindsey had any job during the Hungry Years.

How much session or for-hire work did he actually do? I know of the brief tour with Everly in 1974, & the studio session with Kathryn & Duffy & the Enemies List -- on "Pre-Impeachment Blues" & "Nixon's the One."

What else?

Yet he did describe his thoughts after the break up to Rolling Stone in 97 as, "So you don't want to be my wife, my girlfriend, but you want me to do all that magic stuff on your songs. Is there anything else that you want, just, like, in my spare time?"

Oooohhh he sounds like a feisty little bitch. I love it.:xoxo: Lindsey and Stevie, together, are so fascinating, I'm sorry. Like Shakespeare on cocaine. How can you not, even if you're like the most anti-romantic person ever, get drawn in? They make you.

Thank You for your very kind and unexpected words, CADreaming! I'm aware it was just all too much. Yet, after hitting 'submit reply' I was able to sleep for 11 hours, unfortunately, some reading it may have had the urge to do the same.
It seems I'm not the only one who tends to love The Ledge long about 4am, 5am... for me, I know it's the meds just going above and beyond the call of duty and not leaving my system. It's not that funny is it, when it happens twice a week or so...for nine years. I really appreciate being able to read the thoughts of the more than a few real talents here who just make me say **Yes!!!** when they've contributed to these forums again and take me out of all of myself. 'Whatever gets you through the night', I guess, applies :)

CADreaming in kindness, and indulging me by reading my medi-missive wrote:
**Bravo. All very well put (even if I don't 100% agree with some of your assessments). I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. Thank you.

Yeah, he's classic. My read is I think they considered themselves married and I don't know if any legal papers were ever desired, not because he wasn't serious enough to want to take that step, but because it seemed unnecessary.

Sometimes they describe themselves as having divorced too, when they lump themselves together with the McVies. If I remember correctly and am not confusing it, even on that Charlie Rose interview Lindsey did just a few years ago, I think he said something about them not being married technically and Rose said, "but might as well have been" and Lindsey confirmed, "might as well have been."

I wonder what he expected of Christine in order to make her songs more brilliant?

^ He just wished she wouldn't be that brilliant on her own and hoped she would stop slapping him around like a little puppy for a while if he was doing really really well in the studio.

I'm sure Chris would bring the whole British Empire down on him if he would overstep the borders she set for him. In just a few words.

This has been such an awesome thread, so detailed everyone's opinions of what happened!!!

I think it's amazing that what we know of seems to be so little in the whole big picture,

I truly hope that one day we can find out...

Then i (at least) can be at rest...:angel:
