It's amusing to think of Lindsey putting lyrics on someone's song, since he's not known for lyrics. I, personally, think he's had some pretty great ones, especially in his most recent solo albums. But in the early eighties, I'm not looking to him to add lyrics to my music. Not that there's anything wrong with the Mystified lyrics. They work very well. I'm just saying, I am what I am. The Popeye problem.

Thank you for this. I've only listened to parts of their 1976 interview with Laura Gross, so this is helpful. This largely reaffirms what we already inferred from the demos that have circulated on the internet, although I was not previously privy to Buckingham's specific contributions to "Mystified" (the lyrics and drum programming). Have the two of them ever discussed the delegation of responsibilities for "Isn't it Midnight"?
