I guess Lindsey did have a job at one time...

Instead, he took the commercial approach and feigned shock when the reality sunk in that it was, in fact, a commercial venture and not a very artistic one.

This assumes that he's always able to make just exactly the decisions he and only he wants to make. This assumes that Lindsey feels that Stevie's "insufferable" songs weren't making any artistic contribution to an album. This assumes that he doesn't enjoy his band and wasn't there for any other reason than to make money.

This also isn't the point we were discussing about trying to convince Mick to make a double album with an analogy that you've accused him of using in a way he wasn't.

He's a grown man, no one twisted his arm.

"Insufferable" is my opinion.

The fact that he opted to turn it into yet another Mac project with insufferable Stevie Nicks songs after his album had been rejected in the nineties makes it obvious that money was part of the equation.

No, it isn't. Keep up, dear.

And even grown men don't get to do everything precisely as they want to at every moment in life.

Yes, it was. But you were framing your argument as if it were part of his opinion.

Sure, but that doesn't make it the only part of the equation.

LOL, yeah sorry. Trying to follow the debate logically is probably silly if the other keeps shifting the ground to suit their points.
