Also, this is dispositive of my point that LB uses FM to regain popularity that his solo career cannot give him save perhaps for Law and Order. I need to find that SYW article.

But no one ever said Lindsey wasn't more interested in his solo album than he was in FM during the Dance. That's all he talked about at the time. Stevie even said that he was candid on that score. He said he was glad the Dance tour ended because he wanted to get back to that solo album.

You said that Lindsey said The Dance was about money and he wanted to rake in the millions one last time. Your quote about a roll over doesn't suggest any such thing. Now you're saying that you're implying that because he wanted to use the Dance exposure to promote his solo album, he expected to make big money off the solo album. Well, ok. But that's your take on what he said, not what he actually did say. No money talk.

As for him always using FM to help his solo career, before The Dance, the timing of his FM and solo projects was never right for that in the past. Mirage and Tango did nothing to help his solo endeavors, because he didn't have any to promote when he was getting publicity for those FM ventures.

There's no pattern of him using FM to help his solo work. Does he use FM to support himself so that he can indulge in his non-commercial solo endeavors? Yes. I think that's obvious. That is what I was saying when I likened him to George Clooney, Good Night and Good Luck and Oceans 11. FM has made him rich. No argument there.
