You're right, I think. Mick and John are like brothers and, to this day, Mick is still in awe of Peter.
Nonetheless, Mick and Lindsey are strangely connected. Mick's major MO is to keep the Mac running and touring for as long as he can. Lindsey's energies are far more self-directed, and he'd have said goodbye to the band for good--if he could. But something pulls him back. I think Lindsey NEEDS Mick's passion just as much as Mick needs Lindsey's brains and charisma. Moreover, both of them need one another commercially. They might enjoy solo and side projects, but they keep coming back to the Mac, that brand name that'll be guarantee at least a respectable amount of sales and, hence, give Mick some solvency and Lindsey a few more years of artistic freedom.
