I suspect John holds significantly more bitterness about the Munich military brats dosing Peter Green than Lindsey getting sacked.

True statement!

Also, John was not pleased when Bob Welch left. Even when the band became a huge success, he felt ambivalent about what they then were. In 1977, when RS profiled the band, John was interviewed on his yacht/boat, where he was living at the time. He said he was perfectly happy with how the band was faring BEFORE 1975.

That says a lot about who he is. Stevie and Mick are the polar opposites of that.

Homer, consider letting go of the need to mention your hatred of Mick and Stevie in every response you make. It makes your posts less repetitious when you don’t post the same thing every time.

When you start paying my mortgage, you can start telling me what to do. Until that happens, STFU.

The story had become “the struggling band,” which just wasn’t accurate. They had fourteen roadies and got a $250,000 advance ($1,397,955.39 in 2023 dollars) to make the 1975 album when Bob was still in the band. They weren’t setting the world on fire, but they were hardly struggling.

Exactly, they just weren't filthy rich like some other acts. Even Genesis wasn't doing well during that time. By Lamb, which didn't sell well, Phil said he had sent all his money home, and there wasn't much left after a tour. Lots of work, and not huge payoffs.
