While this book probably induced concerns financial terror among the rest of the band (and maybe even some praying to the 'commercial gods'?), while listening to Lindsey's spoken words on "Surrender The Rain" (OOTC) I wonder what his thoughts were. Right now his thoughts are probably focused on the tour and his family. Would facing the book with someone like Oprah bring integrity and interest back to the band or would it just be commercial suicide? What do you think?
I think it would be a dangerous game to play. Outside of this forum the furore has died down so why not just leave it? Whenever a decision is made to take legal action a whole load of other stuff invariably comes out and why put his family through that?

I think they did the right thing and basically ignored it (for now) I wouldn't be surprised in a few years if it gets spoken about
