I don't expect to ever know what really happened, and on some level, I don't really want to. I guess I don't really thrive on scandal so much.

You're so right - I don't want to believe Lindsey is violent, so I've been trying to figure out ways where that's not true. I really admire and respect Lindsey and it would be really hard to continue doing so if I thought he was like that.

So here's what I tell myself: the "Rhiannon" bit was an isolated incident due to the circumstances surrounding the end of the mammoth Tusk tour; Carol Ann and Mick were exaggerating; Stevie attacked Lindsey and not the other way around (not that she deserved to be hit, as hilarious as doing cruel things to her is - oh, and I didn't know about the tripping. Man, that doesn't make Lindsey look cruel so much as it makes him look completely LAME!); he'd never do anything like that again. I belive that that's possible and I choose to give Lindsey the benefit of the doubt.

On Christine: She's beautiful, just a different type of beauty. Stevie has a sexier aura but Chris is still lovely. I guess some guys will never go for that but some guys do. She's certainly not ugly, however, by any stretch of the imagination. I wouldn't be suprised if sometime during the Rumours merry-go-round Christine got to ride Lindsey, lol, but I don't buy that it happened during Tango and that it was his burning love for her that made him leave. I think it's obvious the "creative reasons" were the main ones, as well as what he's also stated about not being emotionally able to stay in a group with Stevie anymore.

On Iovine: Stevie has a thing for men who produce her music. lol
