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.

I guess it all depends on where you were at the time. I’d just turned thirteen and was glued to MTV that summer. I knew nothing about them aside from vaguely recalling Stevie Nicks was in the band (which “Seven Wonders” obviously confirmed).


Anyway, that’s exactly what that story was for me. That's what piqued my interest to the point where I had to buy the album AND the single. So, to dismiss it, to me, is kind of out there.
