But we also know he's very professional, demanding, and protective of his work. Remember how he argued with Lindsey when he the newcomer first joined the band? But by 1979, John might have been tired of all the conflicts, so perhaps he didn't want to argue about the album's change of direction, or about Lindsey banging on shoeboxes for the thythm tracks? I don't know.

He may have talked about this a bit in his Q&As but i can't recall right now...
I think john and chris both thought lindsey was a little off the wall w his requests to play entire songs himself etc, but i guess they went w it to keep the peace. If Mick saw the need to let LB do his thing to keep him happy and in FM, then i'm sure he talked w J&C about that as well. By 79 they were all quite familiar w each other, drugged up and rich as hell, so maybe it was easier to let some things slide.
