Not for sales, not for avoiding pain, not for selfesteem, just for the love of chemistry that you once had with the five of you.
Last time was 86-87 and you were in deep shyt, and not there. Now you all are coming of age and are willing to respect eachothers feelings more than ever. Do it one more time, WHY the friggin' hell NOT? |

interesting posts, and i think you all are onto something.
for all we know, and judging by the Tusk doc, Lindsey did much more than just arranging and producing on many of the songs. remember "
if we keep your melody on there"? and actually WMYTYTO, TL lyrics project a lot of that frustration. yet he never received or asked for the songwriting credit and unlike with the producing where he gripes about it (and then people slam him when he's asking for producing credit , of course!
- isn't he a whiny diva, right?
). he never says what exactly he did on many of Stevie's songs in the past. neither does Stevie, i don't think.
but i think self-esteem that you mentioned in passing Gerald has a lot to do with it. that's the reason Stevie doesn't want to go back to the band and work with Lindsey in particular anymore. he offered he can give her some melodies, remember? she feels she found other people she can work with when she's out of inspiration for chords and melodies (and doesn't mind giving them the credit for work they do, there's no historical baggage and co-dependency there for her). she doesn't want to go back to being dependent on LB. we won't see any SN/LB so-writes but seems very likely we'll see plenty more of SN/DS ones.
