While not everyone is as outraged as the Lindsey fans who post on these boards, there are plenty of casual fans whose reaction was negative, and who can sympathize with a guy they think got a raw deal. Thus, I doubt Lindsey will be trashed or "thrown under the bus" in that sense - they don't want to make Lindsey's fans hate them even more. They want to be the nice guys. They already wished him "all the best" in the first announcement, after all.

I think Stevie especially will speak highly of Lindsey to dispel rumors that she wanted him out because she hates him. She may even bring up their history.

Most importantly, I think they will try to soften the idea that they fired him and present it as a mutual decision, one that will benefit all parties involved - including Lindsey, who will now be able to happily pursue his artistic vision.

When it comes to the juicy stuff... what caused the disagreement... I don't think we'll get a lot of details on that. Something along the lines of "disagreement about the tour scheduling, so we had to replace him with people who were available to tour" or something like that. I can't imagine they're going to go into depth on that. What would really shock me is if we get something out of left field that's nothing like what's been going around. Now that would be something!

If Lindsey has agreed to keep quiet, he won't contradict anything.

We'll see. I could be totally off base!
Well, they just let Mick do all the talking about the dirty deed, which was indeed a firing though Mick says he won't use that word coz it's a "dirty word". Yes, Mick, because it's a dirty deed.

Stevie said nothing. She was happy to leave it to Mick and Chris didn't breathe a word but just looked down.

Stevie didn't talk?! For once in her life she remained quiet?! And Christine looked down because she's as guilty as Stevie and Mick.

Too bad Mick didn't like the word "fired", because that's what happened. If not, he would have denied it. But he didn't.

Is this a good pic or not? I cant quite decide. Though I quite like it I feel there is something wrong with it (apart from the obvious). It irks me that Stevie is looking to the side. Overall it just feels too lop-sided.

Lopsided, yep. And why are Mick, John, Stevie and Mike clumped together--cause this was the group that voted to fire LB/Mike was hired on first. Chris has only been back a few years and Neil is the newest member so they're off to the other side. Or are they trying to make Chris and Neil more of a focal point?

And in fact she's the only one looking to the side. And it's the second pic where she's looking to the side.
Name one tour pic where she's looking to the side.
The rest of the group also looks odd, especially John and Mick.

Why isn't Stevie looking at the camera? Is she planning on looking at the camera again?
And why are they always in the same positions? So many questions!

Stevie and Christine look pretty, IMHO. The men... well, they look as well as can be expected. One gets the feeling we're not supposed to look too closely at the bright lights. However, the composition of the photo is a bit odd. It's like Stevie is looking over and Christine and Neil and saying "Why are you two over there?" I'm not keen on it. Still, I definitely prefer it to that color one in front of the background that looks like a carpet, and where Neil looks like an old woman.

I think it's a cool photo, the photographer decided to portray the band into two distinct groups, Christine and Neil on one side and Mick, Stevie, Mike and John on the other, using Mick as a sort of the linking element; I'd say from this photo Mick is the one the emerges as the leading figure.

Good assessment, sodascouts. I also agree with SisterNightroad that Mick seems to be the link between Chris and Neil and Stevie, Mike, and John. It's a good picture.

Stevie probably doesn't want a straight-on shot in order to look younger. Remember Live in Boston? She was filmed exclusively from the side for that.

Mike has looked miserable in every photo/interview since he joined. Mick looks pleased with himself.
