But wait a minute, hasn't Lindsey always been this way? Come on! You adored him and you weren't clued into his very large egomaniac tendencies? And he was frigg'n
worse back then...
Yeah, he's completely stuck on himself. His songs, for goodness sakes, are pretty much all one-sided, and I bet he could probably talk about his art and all it's unique coolness for days on end. Not untypical of most brilliant, creative, genius people.
And to be honest, Lindsey has never really gotten his deserved recognition. Yeah, music critics have given him the retrospective nod, most of his peers are on to how incredible he is, and of course he has an (awesome) loyal fan base. But it's very low-key and, for all his contributions, I think the general public kind of looks at him as a really good guitar player who sings Go Your Own Way and used to date Stevie. I mean, that may be a little extreme, but most of the people I have ever brought up Fleetwood Mac to (and that has been quite a lot) think of him that way. And others get him mixed up with
Christine of all people (WTF?)...
Yeah, so let him toot his own horn. Sorta used to it now. Aside from all the talk, he doesn't come across as some arrogant jerk who walks around wanting people to worship him. And when I met him I honestly think he was the most humble musical artist/famous person I have ever encountered. Really, really,
really sweet. He's just a little rough around the edges...
