Not that our stuff isn't SO much more superior - because I know it is hon since you're a genius and all that. Besides, I mean we can totally add something to this band that they desperately need. And, really we would be helping them out more than they would be helping us out. Let's give 'em two years and then we'll go back to BN. Pretty please."

Err, Lindsey is great. If you are measuring "success" in terms of number of solo albums sold, then no, he doesn't sell as well as Stevie has. Doesn't make him any less of a musician - he's just not as commercially appealing on his own as Stevie is.

I love Stevie as much as the next person, but I have a lot of respect for Lindsey and his work, which he absolutely deserves. And Stevie and the rest of the Mac owe him a lot for the hard work he's put into the FM albums - without that work, those albums wouldn't be what they are.

I have no doubt that he can be very accessible to the mainstream when he puts his mind to it, but he's always appeared to be much more content doing what he wants to do, how he wants to do it, whether it sells a ton of albums or it sells no albums. And to me, that's pretty damn successful - being able to do what you want to do for a living, how you want to do it. That's definitely something I aspire to, even though I'm not a musician.

Besides, the only person I see being bitter here is you. Everyone else was having a good time. Project much? :)

There is just a lot of Stevie hating because she is that great. For all of her "out-there-ness" she remains THE MOST successful member of that band. Just something to remember while you are all being bitter and crying for your wolf, LB... Who I also adore, but you all are ready to put him on the label for GREATNESS magazine... It's laughable. So I will, "HA!"

Stevie said that Lindsey always blamed her for breaking them up.

Well, she broke them up romantically, but I think in that sentence she was talking about breaking up the Buckingham Nicks team and, from what we know, she did not break them up that way. But it plays into what we don't know, but suspect, about whatever early plans they had to return to BN after gaining a little exposure with FM.

I think he was being facetious with his post. If not, you'll have to pardon him since he's from Kentucky. You know how those people are. ;) :D

I think Stevie's unforgivible sin to Lindsey was that she was so very successful with her solo career. He's the musician and studio rat of the two after all and she was just the singer whose songs he always had to help her with. How could she possibly be more successful than he was? But she was and I don't think he's ever gotten over that. And at this point, it's obvious he never will.
