Most Unpopular Opinions About Lindsey

I agree David. I think though that LB's jealousy came more so from the fact that the girl that jilted him made good on her own. In other words, he was hurt that she no longer needed him to be a success. Male ego can be a frail thing ya know.

Also, I think La Nicks' first two records would have been panned by the critics no matter how inventive, stellar, good, etc. they were. I think critics love to take cheap shots at her, and that is sad because those first to records were mostly great to these ears. And - she, too, took risks. I mean "Beauty and the Beast" certainly was one as was the country flavor in Bella Donna. Those things were not on the radio at that point in time.

In any event, I think LB likes to take risks, but, creatively, he arrives at the end result via ideas from other artists a la the self-admitted "Jive Talking" vibe to "Second Hand News" and his whole Everly Brothers esq. flair to the Mirage and solo stuff.
