But she wouldn't. They outnumber Lindsey, but if he was resistant, I think she would back off pretty fast. The other 3 can outvote Lindsey, but if he wanted her to do it, I think she would (just based on her unexpected level of participation in Hawaii) and if he wasn't open -- or she thought he wasn't -- then I don't think she would, no matter what the other three were begging. I'm not saying the other three were begging, but I do think it wouldn't matter if they all wanted her to do more songs, if she knew Lindsey might not want that. I do think his preference has weight with her. More than Stevie's? Yes, as far as Chris is concerned. She would defer. If he felt that way -- I hope he didn't.

But in the contract negotiating world does Lindsey have more weight than Stevie in the band? No, not at all. I agree with the argument that he doesn't have the power in that respect.
