Random blasts from Lindsey's past (21st Century pics)
 

This thread is dedicated to elle, VivMcTrouble, Michele, WelshWitchPMD, CADreaming and Holiday Road as all of you seem to be the most Lindsey obsessed IMHO, although I don't expect any of these pics to be new to any of you ladies.

Section Two

section three

vivfox, thanks so much!! What a very sweet thing to do! :xoxo:

Actually, there are a few of these pics that I haven't seen. :thumbsup:

Thank you darling - there are a couple I've never seen!!!!:xoxo:

I took that one of him sitting on the stage in Dublin 2009,

Lindsey...yummmm!!!
 

:] Thanks for the interesting photos of our Lindsey !!!
Some I have seen before but the girl in the bathrobe
on the porch takes the Cake !!! Notice Linds shoes!!!

You all are so funny and Iam glad to be here to read
your wonderful Lindsey news !!! :cool: CAM/Skylark

Oh you're just being kind. We both know you own every pic of Lindsey ever created in this world.

That is such a cool photo. Doesn't it make you feel good to know that pic is one of my favorites from my Lindsey obsession, uh erm, collection?

From what I recall, Lindsey was walking down her street the next morning after his gig and she asked him to sit with her and have some coffee.

yup, also she's a fan who was at his show the night before.

thanks for sharing all these with us Viv - very sweet of you! :)

She's a wrestler who works with Billy Corgan.

i can't remember anymore and i'm lazy to look, but isn't she ex-wrestler?

Yeah but she was working with Corgan on some reality wrestling doc or something like that.

this is very nice of you, but you missed many huge LB fans, and added one or 2 who probably shouldn't be listed as such by any stretch. so i feel the need to right this wrong (see vivfox, no good deed goes unpunished ;) )

from the poll a while ago (here http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/poll.p...ts&pollid=1515) here are the people who stated they prefer LB over other 2 songwriters in FM:

3rd World Man, bangdrum, BaronVonBielski, Black penguin, bluefox4000, Cammie, crazydivaz89, D.W-Suite, elle, erwk05, estranged4life, gfd1963, holidayroad, joshywashy377, kaitsy, Lindsfan, Lori40, McTrouble, MrStevie, Nico, Peestie, redtulip, ryan4136, sanders8323, shackin'up, Silver Springs, wondergirl9847

from this list of pro-LB voters in the poll linked above, i want to give a shout-out to some who i enjoyed talking to over the interwebs, whose posts i enjoyed a lot, and others that i had a pleasure of meeting personally (bold) and we had some great times together:
bangdrum
Cammie
crazydivaz89
D.W-Suite
erwk05
gfd1963
holidayroad
Lindsfan
Lori40
kaitsy
McTrouble
Nico
Peestie
redtulip
shackin'up
wondergirl9847

and then people not listed as voters in the poll above, probably because they either joined later or rarely post but are huge Lindsey supporters:
abbijoy
BTFLCHLD
crylove77
edgeof27
Erin
Hellomonster
Jetta07
lbfan
maccafan
madness fades
playon81
Rockaway
Sahara
sushud
WelshWitchPMD

and although not primarily a LB fan, i will add Michele as someone who is hugely contributing to a LB forum, in extremely level-headed way (most of the time ;) ).

who did i forget? (i'm sure i must have... probably someone who is a huge fan and supporter and has been for years)


EDIT: just to clarify because some seem confused judging by posts that followed: this is not an attempt to create some kind of list of LB's biggest fans. anyway, there are many huge LB fans that i know of who are not even on this board, for one reason or another. also, this is not some exclusive list - if anything it is an attempt to be more inclusive than the original post was. throwing around words like clique-ish does feel alienating and unnecessary.

^Lol. :rolleyes: That is so unnecessary... I wonder which "list" you think I make... :laugh:

your vote is on SN list - http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/poll.p...ts&pollid=1515

people who appreciate TL, contribute with their posts, and/or who pour tons of $$ in supporting LB, felt it was necessary they be mentioned.

that said, we all do appreciate vivfox' thoughtfulness, and i'm sure i forgot many huge LB supporters... i amended the list and added at least 5 names already!

Is there a shipper list? :D:rolleyes:;):p

Eh, most people who post on the forums support the band members and spend tons of $$$ on them. I don't find it very necessary to make lists of the biggest supporters etc.

It was sweet of Vivfox to dedicate the thread to a few people she knew who would appreciate it, for sure. Beyond that it becomes superfluous and borderlining on exclusive/cliquey.

But regardless, thanks for posting Viv! Enjoyed the pictures a lot and there were quite a few I hadn't seen.

it's a he.

Who HE knew lol

It was really sweet of Vivfox to think of his LB fan/friends :xoxo: But, I admit my first thought too, was that there were a LOT more very obsessed fans not mentioned. And, I don't believe most people spends lots of $$$. Plenty do for sure, but some have traveled half way around the world numerous times!!! Some have gone to 10,20,30,40 shows or more (solo Lindsey shows, not FM, because we're talking LB obsession)!! So, I think it's nice that Elle included others, thereby actually making it LESS cliquey :)

Forgive me. I somehow tend to assume everyone on the internet is a girl unless I specifically know otherwise, for some reason. I guess because I'm a girl. :thumbsup:

I think people spend what they are able. Many people may not have the luxury or the means to travel across the world to see the band or Lindsey, or go to 20 shows per tour, or even to go to a SINGLE show, although maybe they wish they could. Which is why I personally don't feel it's right to single out people based on that. I think dedicating something to a few people for fun is different than actually making a list of the biggest fans. I personally feel the latter is unnecessary.

But that's just my opinion, and I can't expect everyone to agree. :)

yup. most people seem to like being appreciated and mentioned. :nod:

most people also don't appreciate being labeled clique-ish if stating they are a huge fan of someone.

also, just to clarify if anyone is confused - there are at least 2 vivs here - vivfox :xoxo: (boy) and viv mctrouble :xoxo: (girl).

Do they really? I don't even categorize myself, so I really don't want anyone else to do it for me. And I do find such lists clique-ish. But I guess some people like to be in exclusive groups. I never fit into them, so I suppose that's why I dislike them.


Michele

And me and vivfox love each other, but also like nothing better than to have a good bitch at each other!:D

Viv - WTF did you start here lol :p

ha, i knew that! that's why you are not included on my list, although you were in vivfox' original one. :)

you do have a point, i in fact never categorized myself as belonging to any group or party, and strongly dislike such categorization. i don't feel that stating i'm a fan of someone's music puts me in some exclusive club.

since the thread listed me as one of the people who would appreciate it, i felt i or someone else listed would be the right person to state that it's not only me and a few select others, that in fact there are many other people, some that i even personally know, who would appreciate this thread.

Thanks Vivfox, once again, for some great pics! :nod:

Just a thought (this IS a discussion forum after all)...

Maybe one reason so few people post here anymore is because whenever someone states an opinion they get reprimanded :shrug:

TWO people found it necessary to call Elle's post unnecessary becuase, after reading Vivfox's post, she thought to include others. And yet, Elle's post was cliquish, but Vivfox's (no offense, I appreciate his original post too) was not?? Why is that, exactly?? :confused: Personally, I don't think either post was cliquish. What I don't understand is why they're being judged differently.

And, with all due respect, I don't really understand the categorizing thing. Elle tried to do a nice thing, and point out that Lindsey has LOTS of dedicated fans. We're not a category. We're just fans. It's truly amazing the things that get blown out of proportion.

:nod::nod::nod:

Yep, lots more! Not clique-ish, we welcome LB lovers of all shapes and sizes! :D

Indeed we do :nod: I've met so many good people both at concerts, and online, that I've long since lost count. I make a point of, and I know many other LB fans do too, including and encouraging anyone who shows an interst in Lindsey and his music. It's the love of everything about him, that makes us anything BUT cliquish :nod:

I'm so confused. :confused: This thread was a very nice gesture and the pictures shared are amazing. And I appreciated the title, which grabbed my attention for sure.

But what is the big deal about elle's post? Why are people saying it is "unnecessary" if she decided to acknowledge other people who she knows are also huge LB supporters? I saw nothing but fairness in her post. I admit that I have often felt that I don't really belong in any clique on "The Ledge." I'm more of an outsider just sharing my love for Lindsey, who is my first and foremost where Fleetwood Mac is concerned. But I have so much appreciation and love for my fellow Lindsey fans, and elle's post was very appreciated by me. Sometimes it does sting to feel that, because one doesn't post as often or maybe isn't quite as consistent, they shouldn't also be considered amongst the group of huge Lindsey fans. Because I definitely am. Frankly, Lindsey is the only reason I come onto "The Ledge."

That and to read threads by many of you, especially the Lindsey stans. I am not slighting Vivfox's post. But I DO understand why elle felt the need to give a shout out to other huge Lindsey fans. She's a very fair person and I really admire that about her. Thank you elle.

Thanks for the thread. The pictures...Lindsey's hair has always held it's own.

Well, I think I got my own separate "category" in Elle's list. I responded to that description of myself.

As for clique-ishness, I think that many fans believe there are certain ways to be a fan and they like to measure others' fervor against their own and rank it.

Michele

you got a special shout-out, not a category. :nod: :)

could be, i really dislike clique-ishness. in any shape or form. when i first started posting, i felt almost every post i made was being largely ignored by most who just continued talking to their own little clique, it was like HS kids lol. however, you made me feel welcome and that was one of the reasons i stayed. i don't feel clique-ishness is the problem here these days and that's a positive thing. but i do feel bad that so few people post here while choosing to start FB groups instead, for one reason or another. it would be great if we can change that.

Well thank you. I think the language

seemed exclusionary. The inclusion or expansion upon LB lovers was great.


Your efforts to do so and contributions here are appreciated.

I think people will go where they feel most comfortable and have the most friends. A lot seems to be happening on Facebook and I understand those that would rather be there. I just hate missing out on FM news that doesn't make it here.

Michele

Feel free to categorise me - I don't mind in the least! :thumbsup:

I will always be ecstatic to be in an exclusive obsessive Lindsey category clique ;):p

;):D

(So i wanted to jump in the fight yesterday but i was too tired.)
This sentence bugs me, and i think that's what CADreaming meant when saying it is "unnecessary". Because you didn't categorize her as a LB fan (him? i think it's "her"...) while she was "listed" in Vivfox' dedication, which is, i'm sorry, not a very nice thing to do. I believe that you can be both a huge Stevie AND a huge Lindsey fan... And if stating the opposite is not being clique-ish...
On the other hand adding other people was nice gesture, i understand why you did it, but i really think that Vivfox was making a dedication to LB fans he knows and appreciates, rather than making a list.

I would like to be categorized as someone that doesn't like to be categorized.

Oh, and I really like LB's music. :D

lmao - someone else with a bit of tongue in cheek humour! :D

Oh, and re LB - :thumbsup::xoxo:

lol Viv! always the comic relief when people get too serious, and how do you all say it? "knickers in knots" over nothing? :thumbsup: :xoxo:
