Any knock on the Eagles by Lindsey was always BS anyway. As if Fleetwood Mac during his entire tenure has been some revolutionary avant-garde touring machine. Sorry, but ever since the Tusk Tour ended, his tours with the band haven't exactly been earth shattering as far as pushing envelopes, especially with new material. The Mirage Tour had a lowly four song representation from the album it supported and The Dance Tour had another set of four new songs. I will give him some credit for pushing the his own songs for the Say You Will tour but the fact that many of Stevie's "new" songs were eliminated almost immediately after their initial outing kind of ruins it.
Musicians are always out there to make money and they, nor their fans, should really expect much else. It's almost as if, because they call themselves "artists," we expect more from them than we would from someone in another profession. Lindsey or anyone else mocking the Eagles (or Fleetwood Mac, or the Stones, or any other "classic" band) for touring to make money is laughable. People work because they have to make money to live. So they make more money than us, who cares. It was kind of refreshing to read that he said that as opposed to some song and dance about creative juices, cycles and restatements of previous works and so on.
