But it did make me wonder what his parents were saying to him in the early days. Stevie loves to talk about how her dad gave her an ultimatum about going back to school.

What was Lindsey hearing from the Buckinghams? Or was his father's failing health so consuming their thoughts that they didn't give LB too many lectures about needing to give up an obsession with music that might have no future? Of course, back then, early 70s, the real craziness and single-minded drive had not yet even begun for Lindsey.

Still, when you have a son who has no degree, is 25, fighting with his girlfriend constantly, barely making ends meet and just might be a raging pothead, you do start to worry!
