But those situations didn't span two years, and I do not see spending 10 days on an album as being a grand gesture of loyalty or commitment to the band. I never will. After having spent virtually no time with the band during the recording, she was in for the tour. Having spent all of his time recording, Lindsey made another choice.
I do not think and did not say that nobody else made sacrifices for this band, or that nobody else made an effort on
Tango. But as for who really made the album -- who was there daily to put it together, to toss ideas around -- Lindsey & Christine were. Stevie was almost entirely absent. John and Mick were both struggling greatly with substance abuse issues.
