I totally agree with everything you said, Lis. Hold on for an even crankier post.
Honestly, it will have been 9 years since the firing of Lindsey by the time this documentary comes out. Will the documentary even acknowledge how much Stevie and Lindsey actually disliked each other for the majority of the time they were in the band? They can't end it with the lovey dovey reunion like The Dance era stuff did. There may be some vestigial deep love S&L somewhere, but the day to day is mostly resentment, jealousy and antipathy.
I think "talking all the time" for S&L is not what any regular human person would call talking all the time. It's just that they're not estranged currently for now (until they don't have a product to sell). There's no way Stevie is a regular part of Lindsey's life or vice versa. They've both said that they were never really friends. They may have talked a lot around the documentary, especially if there's some cheesy segment about post 2018-reconciliation. Watch them use Chris' death as a catalyst for some S&L reconcilation bullsh$#R%#. It will be infuriating, that's for sure.
I would find it shameful and frankly pretty gross for S&L to go up on stage and pretend to have all of this affection for each other. But I think that is part of their performing schtick and has been since The Dance if not earlier. Stevie should go up there with 4 holograms of herself playing all the parts with the band behind a curtain, and then she can hug a sack of money after she sings Landslide with her hologram self playing Lindsey's guitar part. That would feel genuine.
I would be fine with Lindsey and Mick doing a few club dates. Despite everything including sleeping with his very recent ex and writing a tell all trashing Lindsey, Mick has some kind of special skill to keep Lindsey wanting to work with him.
One thing I will disagree with in the thread (not in Lis' message) -- Lindsey is nearly 80, and while body shaming is not right at any age, I don't think having some weight around the abdomen at 80 is a huge degradation in appearance. He looks pretty good for someone who has lived the life he has (though all that studio obsessiveness may have helped curb sun damage). I don't love his styling choices, but anyone going to see whatever Franken-version of FM shows up in 2027 (hopefully no version tours) isn't going for eye candy unless they have a thing for octogenarians.
