I disagree with the point about him leaving Fleetwood Mac. I don't think he knew how well (or poorly, as it turned out) his albums would do if he could have devoted all of his energies towards a solo career. That's why he left the band.

And, after doing everything right for OOTC, and it still bombed, Lindsey's whole attitude seemed to change towards Fleetwood Mac. Even in late '92, when before he was able to go on the road, his attitude was that FM was a dysfunctional family and that he couldn't see a situation where he'd ever work with them again. After a tour didn't help his album's sales, he magically appeared on "Time" within a year and a half. Four months later, Mick breaks up Fleetwood Mac. A month after that, Lindsey and Mick are working together. A year later, "The Dance" was recorded. The timing, for me, is suspicious. IMO, Lindsey wanted to be a success and wanted more people to hear his music, which would help him make money, which is why he came back to Fleetwood Mac. So I think dissention and Amber are both right as to Lindsey's motivation. The more people who are interested in one's work, the more money one makes.
