As much as I love the mans music, it is the FM stuff that has enjoyed him his life style. I think Lindsey might have been trying to bite the hand that feeds back in the day

- - Stevie’s solo stuff is just plain ordinary, I never have understood the fascination with it, I mean if you take away BELLA DONNA, what is left ? I mean, I still don’t get how Behind The Music said she has sold 50 million albums, I don’t know what math they are using

- - I think Tusk is a brilliant album

Hi David!

I agree on these. But one has to see that when LB was IN the situation of the rollercoaster the Mac was, he needed to polarize the situation because he felt that they should put the music in front-not the success. I think that's why he stood like a rock behind his artistic ethics, and overcried that to keep the rest of the band sharp. He also said that the success was a double edged sword. That's not single edged, but he stood for the side that the rest of the band tended to forget (in his perception). He still plays his big hits. He knows that the band brought him more than he could dream of. But on the other hand it had been a nightmare too.

I love Bella Donna too .

Tusk? The best album ever recorded by anyone.
