Chris and John were bringing up sales and Lindsey was passionately arguing for creativity and I recall the writer described that he slapped his hand against his chest and said "It's what's in here" (the heart) that matters. At that point Chris kinda just trailed off, seemingly not wanting to start that whole argument again....

But this was AFTER TUSK came and went. I was responding to the original post about who proposed the initial decision to do a double album.
Yes, after TUSK failed to bring in as much $ and was a comparative commercial failure, the McVies (and others) had strong opinions.
