But regardless of what happened in 1974, everyone was rich and happy by 1977. The Mac were superstars and filthy rich. Bob had a top 20 solo album with 2 charting hits. Love was in the air until it wasn't  |
Yeah i get a kick out of that story with lindsey. I'd imagine it must have been a bit of a head trip to try and finagle your way into the tight bonds that existed between the 3 brits....they could read each other like books and had been around long enough to prob feel a little possessive of the band and maybe distrustful or skeptical of newcomers and their contributions.
i laughed at bob's description in his Q&A about how it felt w them...can't recall exactly but along the lines of mick being like your weird cousin who spoke by making faces, john was your alcoholic uncle who you had to humor, chris was your crotchety aunt who also made crotch jokes ...
.. i mean i'm sure it was no picnic at times, being in the middle of everyone's moods and idiosyncrasies!
