When were these taken?

J/C were far more able to forgive each other for past hurts and just move on to the better place of 'the present'... 'we adore each other NOW, we appreciate the relationship we have NOW.' S/L seemed to keep rehashing the issues of the past to the point that their NOW was never a great place to be...

It's childish on both their parts, I think. Because I truly think they love pushing each other's buttons, seeing the other one get mad.

I think perhaps ego played into the equation differently between Stevie and Lindsey in multiple ways. Sure, J+C had healthy egos, but in a different kind of way. J+C were both talented musicians and were secure in their ability. I think both of them played music because they loved it first, it was less about the spotlight and fame. John didn't write songs, so they didn't have to compete or feel like they had to compete with each other in that arena.

There always was and always will be a valley of separation between Lindsey and Stevie in the respect that Stevie was all about making the splash and achieving fame, while Lindsey always made decisions from the artists point of view first. Lindsey was a guitar maniac on stage, while it was Stevie's vocals and appearance on stage that drew attention. They were both amazing songwriters and perhaps that's the one area that provides the least amount of resentment (beyond some of the sharp lyrics they've directed at each other over the decades)

I wouldn't call Old Goatsy an amazing songwriter. I mean, she doesn't really write the music, other than plonking out her F and G chords. SOMEBODY ELSE turns it into magic.

She's an elaborate arranger that sometimes writes songs on the harp.

Harpy

She has always been a storm...
cawing her lamentations in the eerie trees.

I hear what you're saying, the majority of her output has heavily relied on others to mold into something. She definitely doesn't have that sense of melody that folks like McCartney or Brian Wilson are praised for.

I have read, probably here but not sure, that the Sara 3/10/79 Version 8:48 minutes included in the Tusk Deluxe (and Expanded) was not recorded by Fleetwood Mac, it was a demo she brought to the band. If that is correct, does anybody know who arranged it?

Tom Moncrieff probably laid it all out in demo form. There’s a Q&A with Tom on the Penguin. He’s the guy who wrote the music to “Gold and Braid.”
