Now -try to be as objective as possible, Stevie is the primadonna, Lindsey is the arrogant artistic director. But if his vision is being aborted by commercial arguments and your initial "partner-in-double-album" is turning his back on you, you can just logically expect someone's going to fight with all arms available. In this case: his own material.

You know I agree with you on this. But if people want to say Lindsey's the primadonna, so be it. He's been called worse things.
In all honesty I don't think Stevie threatening to pull out after 40 dates was a direct attack on Lindsey either, I think it had to do more with the record company than anything else, but the fact remains that she
is capable of getting things done her way and she's not afraid to head right for the jugular.
She might
feel outnumbered, but she isn't really. I am willing to put money on Mick choosing her side more often than Lindsey's. Well, when he's not too busy choosing Mr. Dollar's side, that is.
