When I first became aware of FM, Lindsey was not really on my mind. Got the Tusk album first and was disappointed that all the songs didn't sound like Sara. Then, I went back and got Rumours and the White album and I guess I liked GYOW, but nothing else of his said that much to me. I enjoyed SYLM, OMH, Rhiannon, Dreams. Saw them in concert in 1979, I was blown away by his performances. Embraced L & O. Eagerly awaited Mirage. By 1982, I had long since reached the point of no return as an LB fan. Michele

Wow, Michele. Good for you. How did LB look in person in 1979? I ask because he's HOT as what in pictures during that time. And if he's really handsome in person now, I can only imagine then...
I think I was very much like you...I was raised on all the really great "classic rock" type of music, dating all the way back to the Beatles. Plus people like Dylan, Young, Browne, Mitchell, S&G, etc. I think I mainly listened to the Beach Boys and Beatles when I was very young, but as I got older I appreciated more bands and think I was around 12 when I really started to love FM's music. I didn't care who any of them were, I just loved GYOW, Dreams, and Don't Stop (how coincidental that it's the three dif. leads).
But I started to really get into them in college. I was into contemporary stuff, I was at some record shop, and I picked up "Rumours" then after falling I went and got "Tusk" and that has been my favorite of theirs. I stopped buying their records, got SYW when it came out and enjoyed it, saw the concert, fell in love with Lindsey, bought his solo stuff, and then the rest is what it is.
Funny, that. Everyone has a story but it all falls in to the same sort of place when you hear the music or they're playing in front of you. You are there for the songs and the music. It's beautiful how powerful music is, eh?
