Completely exasperating, isn't it, when people write off your favorite artist with just a few pithy sentences?
Of course Lindsey's music has heart... otherwise I, the over-passionate Italian with his heart ever on his sleeve, wouldn't be a fan.

Personally, I think 'Go Insane' is a masterpiece... but I can also understand exactly why it didn't knock a million people's socks off (and I don't think it has anything to do with that "people aren't bright enough to 'get it'" baloney). Just the same as I can see exactly why Stevie has as many detractors (if not more) as she has fans.

But as long as Buckingham fans keep ridiculing Nicks fans, I'm going to keep piping up.

"Gypsy," "Gold Dust Woman," "Sara," "Stand Back" and "Goodbye Baby" rivaled those performances, IMO.
