Instead, he took the commercial approach and feigned shock when the reality sunk in that it was, in fact, a commercial venture and not a very artistic one.

This assumes that he's always able to make just exactly the decisions he and only he wants to make. This assumes that Lindsey feels that Stevie's "insufferable" songs weren't making any artistic contribution to an album. This assumes that he doesn't enjoy his band and wasn't there for any other reason than to make money.

This also isn't the point we were discussing about trying to convince Mick to make a double album with an analogy that you've accused him of using in a way he wasn't.
