LB is an insecure man

I think it's the first I read an interviewer says For some people Tusk is actually the great Fleetwood Mac album. Interesting.

Stevie was a superstar as a solo artist. Lindsey wasn't. That all hurt him a lot.
Humm.... probably it hurted it in his pride, and because of all the story between them, I guess. But as an artist, I don't think Lindsey was looking for being a superstar. His solo albums weren't designed for a superstar. He was more interested in the art, the work. I don't see his albums intended to be a commercial huge success.

Yes, regardless of taste one thing you have to give Lindsey is that he could manufacture a hit commercial recording if he so wanted.

Lindsey was "writing songs for Stevie and Christine"??? Come on Mick, you know better.

I think it's important to distinguish that Lindsey did not write those songs - he contributed instrumentation, which is not substantial enough to get him writing credits.

I believe the "lol" at the end of the post meant he was being facetious.

Well, that went over my head!

I agree. Lindsey's solo album weren't designed for commercial success. Infact all his album were more adventerous, very distant from the pattern of making hits for sales.
