tea mixed with warm/hot honey, That will help yer throat...It worked for me!

Although he did seem rather candid on Charlie Rose when asked what the worst times in his life have been. His answer: "Fleetwood Mac." The meaning in that seems crystal clear if you ask me.

Well, he also apparently has said or given the impression that were it not for FM, he and Stevie would be together both musically and romantically. So, there is that.

I think it just galls people who hate La Nicks to have to face the reality that LB considers her a major talent he enjoys working with and being around.

Yep, that's what I use.

He cried because his solo work went down the drain.

I love Lindsey, but I kept cringing during Destiny Rules at the way he was talking. Course, his speaking voice is a little high for my tastes. But I think he often sounds pretentious and condescending, even when he is making a good point.

Pretentious and condescending? He seemed more sincere than anything else to me, but I am just slightly biased.

I feel the same way - he totally has a condescending air about him - but it comes across more in interviews to me

Careful now - only Nicks bashing allowed LB is faultless and a victim - ONLY - no exceptions (levity)

Then he had to sell the toilet because he JUST HAD to have an 18 track CD, and only being paid for 12.

Say You Will is simply unbearable on it, that vocal is horrifying.

Her new material does nothing for me. It's uninspired and lazy to these ears. She's still capable of hitting it out of the park (the song TISL, for example), but for some reason she chooses not to. Scribbling inane mumbo jumbo in your journal does not a good song make.

Oh wait, she does also sound great (IMO) on Stand Back! The Live version from Boston is my fav. of the song...EVER!

I dunno what is worse...him saying the same thing over and over or looking like death warmed over on the AMAs. I know it was a late night that night, but at least smile.

No, it doesn't gall me. LB considers many people-- whom I have little or no respect for-- major talents. Radiohead, for example, puts me to sleep more readily than most music. And Vanessa Carlton? I assume he considers her talented if he agreed to work with her, but I can't tell her apart from Michelle Branch or half the other new "artists" out there.
As much as I respect and admire his ability as a musician, I don't put much stock in what he considers talent.
