Just came across this old 2003 article in Am. Songwriter-
Lindsey Re: Go Your Own Way-
"That came very quickly. I remember sitting down and putting that together when we were taking a break in Florida. We rented a house to start rehearsing before Rumours, and it was an immediate song. It was a very present thing in terms of the response it got from the band. The drum beat that Mick did in the verse was actually his version of trying to do something that I asked him to do that he couldn't do. What he did was better. I'd been listening to "Street Fighting Man," and Charlie Watts does this kind of offbeat rhythm. Mick, either he didn't want to do that or he couldn't get it, so he came up with his own version."
