Just to clarify, Stevie wasn't inferring FM had anything to do with Lindsey not smiling. She was explaining why she "went out" with him - that he had a beautiful smile and was a lot of fun -- "in the beginning" and she didn't say that he was "always very serious" or that he didn't smile "much since".

I agree with Wildhearted on the second point - the interviewer fed her the line about "come on smile, Lindsey" and Stevie in her nervousness was using it as a punchline, "and we did get him to smile". It was a joke. I think Lindsey is a very funny guy and she would know better than any of us. A lot of that was just her getting on the interviewer train. You could tell she agreed with almost everything he said. I think she was just being polite -- and she was nervous -- she fidgeted a lot.

oh, that poor helpless girl.

the interviewer looked cute. maybe that's why she wanted to agree with him on "almost everything"?

She's probably not the most objective, but she knows him in a way that none of us do. All of us show different parts of ourselves to different people in our lives. Obviously Lindsey is not going to relate to a fan backstage the same way he relates to Stevie, but that doesn't mean he's not being his real self to either one of them. Stevie has a unique worldview for sure, but she's got to have some insights on a man she has known for almost 50 years now.

I don't really think she was trying to say he doesn't smile.

Certainly, there have been times when Stevie has thought Lindsey was too serious and she has said so. The interviewer probably got the impression that Lindsey was "sooo" serious from something he read Stevie say in the first place, rather than from his own head. Which came first? Chicken or the egg or Stevie? In past interviews, Stevie has said that she thought Lindsey didn't want to have any fun. She wanted Lindsey to play more and he thought she played too much.

Of course, those are older comments. Her opinion of Lindsey's seriousness may have changed since then. But those opinions probably informed the interviewer.

I heard different, Ken said Lindsey was so funny he and Carol got really choked up quite often.

Lindsey takes his work seriously

and of course, why not re-watch this since people love to discuss it, and the whole thing is just hilarious on so many levels:

With her solo career I think she surrounds herself with "yes men"; people who won't challenge her too much, and sometimes her work has suffered for it.

and this comment from IYD doc review goes perfectly with Lindsey's face when she says it in DR doc (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/rev...ks-film-377657):
"Though unconvinced viewers may snort when Nicks compares herself to Bob Dylan or treats lyrics scribbled on hotel stationery like relics of great import..."

The only thing that stands out for me upon re-watching this video is how freaking hot Lindsey looks. Click. Re-watch.
