I'm sorry but I think Lindsey is a little overrated

[CarneVaca]

On the issue of violence, I will say this: If Lindsey was slapping his girlfriends around, that's not cool. I'm not going to sit here and defend that.

On the issue of violence in Fleetwood Mac, Mick himself has dismissed the episode he described in his book as exaggerated. I believe that's the word he used. And Stevie has also said she attacked Lindsey. I also read in Rolling Stone some years ago that Christine slapped Lindsey once.

This all indicates to me that there was an atmosphere in the band that was somewhat permissive of slapping each other around. So while we may make judgments of whether that's cool or not, let's not just point the finger at one person. There are enough accounts by band members themselves that it wasn't just Lindsey who was slapping others around.

These Stevie vs. Lindsey discussions indeed get out of hand, but that doesn't change my position that Lindsey is the better person.
