I think his eyes, facial structure and hair all express his temperament and I don't think that's true for most people. I don't think physical characteristics represent personality traits as squarely as his do. I love images of him from the back, in profile, in shadow, because they often say "Lindsey" to me just as loudly as if he'd opened his mouth and introduced himself. Michele

I agree with every word you have used to describe LB, and I know he looks best when he's very thin- which is most of the time- but still...this particular picture just brings out the maternal side in me I didn't think even existed. He looks like he's about to pass out from exhaustion. Anyway, I agree that 1982 was not my fave year for him, but we'll have to agree to disagree on 1997. I KNOW he had that awful moment where he resembled Albert Brooks for a second, but I thought he was so gorgeous on The Dance.

Then again, YOU have way more LB creds in terms of all the public appearances he made around that latter year (if any). I don't really have much to go by outside of The Dance and that awful photo. Maybe you saw him live and observed differently.

I did see a lot of Dance shows, but not as many as I would have seen if I thought Christine was leaving the group forever. She broke my heart.

But if I'd been online talking about FM back then in 1997, I don't think I would have had many complaints about Lindsey's looks. I was so thrilled to have the 5 of them. I was delirious. I thought he was too puffy, but it is not something that preoccupied me at all. I wouldn't have cared what any of them looked like at the time. I was that happy.

Also, I should say that if Lindsey looked like that and stayed that way, it would have been one thing. I would have just accepted that as his middle-aged appearance and it wouldn't have been a big deal. He was no ogre. But he didn't stay that way. Even during the tour I saw him losing weight before my eyes, so it is mostly in retrospect that I say he was bloated in the beginning, because it didn't last. If it had, instead of calling it bloated, it would have been the new "norm," the way men nearing 50 look.

Also, I've said this before, but Lindsey was wearing a shirt under his jacket for the whole tour and the shirt never seemed to fit right. It was sideways, like it was buttoned wrong or something. I know this must have been part of his "look," but I could always see it straining out of position under his jacket. It just made him look a tiny bit like a slob. So . . . I was always thinking, "Man, what is your problem?" But I was thinking that with love.

In other pictures, you'd think twice about giving him a hug as you'd think "He probably thinks he's above this". But in these pictures, you just want to go up to him, arms out stretched, and exclaim "Give us a schnuggle!".

Looks aside, the floral backdrop in the first picture makes me want to throw up. He looks like he's gone to my Nonna's house for Tea and Crumpets.

I thought he was gorgeous on The Dance also! That was when I first saw him, and when I went online to look at older pics from the 70's and 80's...I could not believe it was the same person. It's strange, I would not describe The Dance era Lindsey as "fat" by any means, but just that little bit of extra weight made him look totally different, to me at least.

When I first looked at Go Insane Lindsey vs. Rumours Lindsey vs. The Dance Lindsey I was like..."There is no way this is the same person, right?" Now I know it is, but not being familiar with him, plus not looking hard enough fooled me.

Sometimes, I can't "see" him when he has the big hair, mustache and beard. I just can't peek through and recognize him in all that. He looks more like himself in the high school pictures than he does in his twenties, I think sometimes. But once he cleaned up, then it's been Lindsey all the way. If it really was your idea to get him the haircut, CAH, then thank you.

I first started liking Lindsey in 1984, but I didn't see a pic of him with his beard until Tango was out. All I could think is 'This looks nothing like him'! He looked like a completely different guy!

Fleetwood Mac get stuck on an observation deck, and the first things that happen?

Mick comes on to Stevie.
Lindsey starts pouting and practicing his male model look.
Chris starts swinging from the railings.
And, uh, John just stands there.
