He probably shuts her up with the magic cards...I'm just sayin'...my best friend's husband is a bit of a chauvinist and quite a man's man and she's got a strong personality but will succumb because she wants for nothing and he is generous. That's what I think...

I don't think anyone bosses him around. I mean, I think she gets her way in all the things he doesn't care about (like home decorating). But in those he does, I don't think anyone bulldozes him. After all, when he said that Stella was pushy and intense, he said she was just like him, not her mother .

On the other hand, you know he could feel kind of vulnerable. If she was the type to threaten to leave every time she didn't get her way, he could fear not being a full time parent and also having to shell out half of his property to the ex. So, she has a little leverage. It's difficult to be in a position (and this is true in FM too) where you have the most to lose. I'm glad that it wasn't that way for him in the band in its hey day. I'm glad he wasn't the one most afraid of the consequences of leaving and I hope that his marriage is a good one and he has no fears or threats there either.

Thinking about his appeal, I know I am probably reading an interest that these women never had, but it always made me laugh at AHI when Sheryl Crow was hugging him at the end. With her arm firmly locked around his waist, I got the impression she thought he was "strong enough" to be her man. Also, when they were on Leno and Sandra Bullock was a guest, she seemed to be awfully quick to run out and hug him when FM's performance was over. I think he could not only get avaricious women, but also women who are successful in their own right, if he put his mind to it.

I never got to see this AHI of which you speak, but I would love to see Sheryl Crow on him.

Saw Sandra Bullock...I adore her.

Kathie Lee Gifford was kinda fawning on him. And when I saw him in New York in '07 some lady in the audience was, like, giving him a back rub as he was turned around playing guitar while pressed up against her- free willingly mind you. I'm sure it's quite obvious he can turn on the charm. I mean, with eyes like that?

I think he does bring out the blubbering idiot in women, no doubt. There's a reason Stevie writes about those eyes.... and now she's a 60 year old woman pretend skating onstage in front of thousands of people with him... see what happens...

When I met him and told him how I felt about his music, he said, "Thank you so much sweetheart," then looked me right in the eye and started batting them at me- or whatever he does where he repeatedly blinks them. Then he gave me a once over, very matter-of-factly, and a big smile, and moved on. He's a very sexy guy...but you all knew that.

I think he's given you more than a once over!--I was in that crowd when you met him, he seemed pretty locked into you And I've been to a few other shows where you were up front and LB seemed to keep coming back & playing just for you (those must have been shows where Kristen wasn't there lol!) I think LB is probably pretty faithful to Kristen, but I don't think I'd leave him alone with my girlfriend(!) I definitely wouldn't leave my girlfriend alone with that Brett dude, he's always scoping out women to take back to his hotel room

Hmm...I think Lindsey probably just focuses on a person or two from every show. I doubt I'm an exception. But I was enthralled in those moments, of course. I understood the power of that man's presence times a million.

Brett...aww, Brett. Wow, well, I had a great experience meeting up with him and just talking. He's a wonderful guy, very sweet, and not a sleaze. I won't refute what you wrote re: any liaisons, but I will say he's a charming, sweet, fun guy and I definitely cheer for him on his own (during LB shows). He's such a great person.

Well, in all fairness, after he did his little Big Love/Go Insane bit, Waddy was kind of waiting by the side of the stage for him and Waddy put his arm around him and they walked off the stage together, with their arms around each other. So, it wasn't just Sheryl who was on him.

But I think they all came out for some sort of group song or something at the end and Sheryl was next to him and had a pretty tight hold. I was like, "Hey! Watch it."
