The reason nobody asked “Where’s Lindsey” is because the story had been thoroughly discussed in the press.

Billy and Rick even did the Today Show.

I remember some press. But it didn’t strike me as catastrophic, which Lindsey’s leaving really was. I found it all very underplayed.

We could go in circles about this. I guess I don’t care that much.

But to say Little Lies was the huge hit it became because it benefited from whatever press Lindsey’s leaving afforded is just not true. Sorry. The song was killer, and people without a care in the world about the band’s dramas were loving it.
