The story about Lindsey insisting that FM hire Stevie is just part of the Stevie/Lindsey drama. It's a made of story. Keith Olsen has never told the story that way. Keith has always said that he explained, to Mick, that they were a couple. Then, Mick extended the invitation to both of them. In fact, Keith says that it was Stevie's brother who paid Stevie and Lindsey a salary to be in FM.
From a Keith Olsen interview:
"'But the good news is, you know those two kids, who were they? Lindsey and Stevie? Do you think they'd want to join my band? Could you go and find out?' And I took 12 hours of constant pounding on them to try to convince them to join Fleetwood Mac on a trial basis only. And they joined Fleetwood Mac as a trial basis and they said they'd do it just for 6 weeks. Then they got better, then they found out that they were making money, just because her brother's paying their salary at 500 bucks a week. They said, well this is great."
