That part initially cracked me up too... but there's probably something in it. Stevie had to of been tough to be around at that time. She wasn't showing up to work for Tango, yet demanding to hear more of her influence on the album. She was definitely imploding, as was the rest of the band. Mick was burning out badly on coke, losing everything he owned, etc. I don't think John was sober yet then either, and I know Chris wasn't. Concurrently, I think Lindsey was beginning to wind down from his substance abuse years, he had ridded himself of the infamous Carol Ann Harris, and on some level it had to be hard to witness Stevie's deterioration. If you love someone once, a tiny piece of that always remains... even if you don't end amicably.

That would make me supremely happy. Save Me A Place was so gorgeous when Lindsey has performed it solo, and I'm sure it would be performed on a Mac stage as well. More of Tusk needs to show up in their setlist.
