It was a better offer even with Stevie and he still needed at least four people, including his predecessor, to tell him it was a great opportunity.

Mick told the story many times which agreed with the stage / Lindsey's usual version, including apparently in this most recent interview. and he told a different version once.
Stevie told Lindsey's / stage version many times over decades, except recently since she forced Lindsey outta FM, when she started all of the sudden saying that Mick asked her and Lindsey.

Not all of the sudden. That’s how the story was prior to 1997, before they started presenting an overly romanticized version of their history. But what do I know? I was just a fan paying attention at the time.

so i guess everyone can pick and chose a version they like and be happy in their little bubble.

Yes. You can pick the story that fits your agenda. I’m sticking with the completely consistent accounts by the two men who had the phone call.

while i'm happy for Lindsey that he and Mick seemed to have rekindled their decades long friendship, i really am not crazy about Lindsey once again re-hooking with the name Fleetwood. he's been finally starting to build a separate cred away from anything Fleetwood, as Lindsey Buckingham - Caution / The Killers is a great step in that direction and he should continue in that vein in a little time he has left, if he wants to cement his own legacy apart form the already cemented FM legacy he has.

The dude is over 70!
What other possible legacy is there?!?
