I am just laughing my head off at these posts, especially the whiney ones...

Remember Mrs. Buckingham... the mansion you are driving home to tonight was built with the hard earned $$$ that the fans have forked over for 30 years.

How far do you think your $5 is supposed to go for their mansion? I wonder how you know who paid for that house, maybe you noticed that she co-wrote songs with him, a photographer not exactly a gold digger! He looks happier than he has in his whole career-

I do have to wonder the point of the wheelchair comment? If I rent a wheelchair do I get a personal meet? How about a walker? Fake leg? I am bipolar so maybe that would qualify? That's funny-

To me its all about the music, Lindseys' first language, my take is he is a shy, personal, artistic person and to expect anything more than the INCREDIBLE music he creates and shares is just petty and selfish. He gives a "Gift" and people want more...I watched him POUR himself into that performance and he just wants to chill out, man deserves it! I had a FABULOUS time at the Portland concert- patted his boot leg, just thanking him for years of music- got his pick at the end as well, I don't need his autograph (or even the pick for that matter) to impress others, what else are those material things for? Why not appreciate what life gives you, not what you don't think it does...Peace- you have everything you need...

While I definitely agree that no one should expect anything other than what they were there intended to see, I don't think it's fair to jump down this person's throat. He/she was just dismayed because he/she didn't get to have something signed, and that is a normal emotion. Many of us were fortunate to meet Lindsey and he was kind and generous, more so than necessary. But this person did not get to experience that so I feel he/she does have some right to be upset.

I don't think it's right to hold anything against Lindsey or his wife. It wasn't a good situation. And reevaluating it, if their children were with them I don't think Kristen did anything I myself wouldn't do.

But Daltry: just so you know, Lindsey is really great to fans for the most part. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful he was to everyone when I met him. This little old lady was there with her son, who was pushing her in a wheelchair, and Lindsey went right over to her and said something...can't remember what...but it was very touching and she seemed thrilled. And he even thanked everyone for waiting out in the cold. He's a really nice guy. Sorry about your experience.

I totally agree and appreciate your post.

NOW... FOR THE THIRD TIME...

The reason for this post was not to bash Lindsey... it was only to share my experience and find out what other people have experienced. Lindsey's wife was... RUDE and Lindsey followed her like a lap dog. It was ridiculous behavior that I've never seen before and I have met many rock legends... Roger Daltrey, Ray Davies, Pete Townshend, James Taylor, Neil Diamond etc.

These are my thoughts:

I agree that he doesn't owe anyone more than just the show. If he happens to be in the mood to sign, greet, take a picture with a fan, whatever, great. But, it also doesn't give his wife the right to be rude about it and from what I've read, if I had been in the crowd and heard her talk to Lindsey that way (like he's one of her kids), I'd have been embarrassed for him. Of course, I wasn't at the bus when it happened, so I didn't hear what was said or how it was said, but that's my personal take on it.

Sarcasm... I like it! But seriously if you really don't understand ignoring fans in wheelchairs then I can't help you.
