The National interview

[bombaysaffires]

TOTALLY agree on the passive-aggressive thing.

I would wager that as far as anyone else in the band is concerned, Christine could walk in the door anytime and be welcome no questions asked. Not sure the feeling was the same when Lindsey left.... Christine, Mick and John are unquestionably family (they've been together since the 60s!).

I recall reading an article on LB and Kristin describing how they lived in the Four Seasons for something like 2 years (not in his house on the hill) and then with the arrival of their second child he decided ok maybe this isn't the best lifestyle and began working on remodeling his house for his new family (you can see that in the SYW documentary). the article made some comment along the lines of "seeing his two kids schlepping through the lobby" made him realize he needed to do something about it.

First....can you imagine the COST of a suite at the Four Seasons for TWO EFFING YEARS?? Second.... who didn't want to live in the house? Kristen because of all the previous women who'd lived there? LB.. because he wanted to still think he was the single guy?
