LB Says FM: With or Without Sheryl

That's precisely what I'm trying to say, you just articulated it much better and with much less rambling lol. It seems to me at this point in Lindsey's career that he cares more about making music than he ever has before. He just wants his music out there; be it in Fleetwood Mac, solo, soundtracks, whatever. Between SYW, UTS, this coming solo album, and likely coming FM album, he's putting out more material than he ever has. Lindsey knows he is a boutique product in solo form, and that FM music will be heard by more ears (although not as many as in the past mind you). He knows he can put out his solo albums and do whatever he wants with those, flexing his creative control muscles as much as he wants. At this point he has to really WANT to work with FM to be persuing it still. He's made plenty of money in his lifetime through FM and real estate ventures (!), and if control is all he really wants, he can have that with his solo endeavors. I think he genuinely wants to work within FM, and he realizes that he will have to comprimise to do so at this point. He's a stubborn guy folks, if he didn't want to do this he wouldn't do it. Even though he and Stevie fought a lot during and after SYW, it is for her that he's doing all this comprimising for... looking at outside producers, another female bandmember/muse, etc. The Lindsey of 1987 wouldn't have done that.
