Well Les, I pretty much agree with everything you said, imagine that? haha!

Gasp! LOL!

He could have phrased some things differently to soften them, or avoided some of these topics totally, but I don't think Lindsey was being mean to Stevie for the sake of it or because his album didn't sell as well. If you listen to Lindsey's interviews about Law and Order, he never expected his album to sail to the top of the charts. He knew that Trouble was the only really commercial sounding thing on it. He also said that he knew that audiences didn't know him very well and so he wouldn't expect the same reaction to his album as Stevie's.

Interesting little note - when Christine was doing some press for Mirage, she did one of those call-in radio shows. Don't remember which one off the top of my head. Maybe Rockline?? Someone calls up and asks if there is a big rift between Stevie and the rest of the band. Christine says that, sure they all have their problems and always will, but that some aspects have been greatly exaggerated. She then actually singles out this particular Record Magazine interview and says that she thought it was very purposely edited and shaped to leave the impression that there was a war going on, but that it wasn't really representative of the whole, true picture.
