From your extensive posts on the subject at various times, you seem to repeatedly take this stance that Stevie and Mick were simply being themselves and trying to talk common sense into this Lindsey character who was "portraying" himself as representing something he doesn't genuinely strive for. I think the conflicts evident in that documentary are essentially the same conflicts this band has been struggling with for 25 years and that nobody was "portraying" anything about themselves and their ideologies that isn't true to what they want for themselves and the band.

I did not mean to imply that the portrayal was not the way he is and I did not mean it in a perjorative way, which I think you took it as. I was using it as a manner of speaking andn not to imply that LB created this false persona. Sorry for the confusion.
I agree and think LB likes pushing the envelope and I like it when he does. But, my point was and is I do think LB is not the maverick he perhaps would like to be or like for us to think he is because although he bemoans the industry and its control of him as he did in DR - he simultaneously seeemingly loves it and works pretty well in it - I mean he keeps running back to it
Maybe he is running back for Stevie - who knows - be he runs back to it nonetheless. Thus, he is a mini-maverick
