In fact, despite the fact that his suits were tailored, the hair meticulous and the eyes lined, it said "I don't care" more than the hippy look does to me, because grunge was so common and accepted among his peers. It was the "normal" for then. But when those locks were shorn, his originality came out -- well, within the context of Fleetwood Mac and its fans, anyway. When you look at musicians as a whole, punk rockers, etc., Lindsey's Tusk look wasn't that avant-garde or original.

I suppose I have the same inability to accept Lindsey in perfectly preened outfits as you do with his much more Bohemian look. The suits, manicured hair and everything else do smack of the way he chooses to present himself eloquently and articulately through his speeches and anecdotes. But at the same does, it doesn't feel to me as though it is all he is about. There's no denying that he still has a Bohemian mentality. And the Armani and eyeliner just feel so much like a mask to hide the awkward, constantly thinking and questioning individual beneath. I can appreciate it on a purely aesthetic level. But beyond that just jars a bit with me.
