That's what I find interesting about the Fritz days. I'd like to know more about them. Stevie will say, "Lindsey wasn't the boss of that band!" What were their frustrations back then about not choosing what to sing, not doing so much of their own writing, Lindsey not even playing his chosen instrument. Was he unhappy. When they came into FM, even though they were making money and seemed to click almost automatically, it's clear Lindsey didn't take the backseat as the "new boy." He started with a sense of wanting to guide the direction from day one. But it wasn't like that in Fritz. So, knowing more about the metamorphosis would be interesting to me.

I laugh sometimes thinking about him. I'm sure with his voice and demeanor, after a show in the old days, people from other bands would come into the dressing room and think that Lindsey was shy and quiet with a sweet personality and walk away with that impression, while the Macsters were going, "uh, he's Mussolini!"
