I'm guessing being high had a lot to do with it. I also think that all the band members (not just Stevie and Lindsey), had huge egos and felt that no one could touch them in their insular Fleetwood Mac bubble. They could and did do whatever they wanted. It's not like Richard Dashut was going to rush out of the control room to Ken's aid when Lindsey attacked him. Everyone wanted to stay on the FM gravy train, not rock the boat too much, keep everything as cool as possible amidst the chaos and just finish the damn album! It's hard to believe people would sit idly by while someone was being attacked, but I really believe that the band members thought that certain rules didn't apply to them and everyone else around them just kind of fell in line. How else to explain such abhorrent behavior?
