Is that really true?

I admit I haven't been into this game (mainly because I don't know all the members of FM past that well and I've also found it to be a little cruel), but I saw this and had to ask. I hope Lindsey isn't actually telling Stevie how to dress. That's just bizarre beyond words.

Part of it is this desire that I have (perhaps others as well) to be able to say, "Well, one of my faves in the band is so and so," and have someone say "Who the heck is that? The only one I know is Stevie." Eh, I'm being silly.

No, I know exactly what you mean. I've definitely enjoyed liking more obscure artists, simply because no one knew who they were. I think you feel like they belong to you more - does that sound weird? I guess when everyone likes them there's more people to share them with! Or you feel like you have a cool little secret

She's boring.

Even though I know you're kidding, I think Christine could have, in the 70s at least. Other than her music, she definitely had an attitude and style that is very rock star sexy. I would have loved to have read one of those romantic Rolling Stones articles focused on Christine from the 70s - I can just imagine it, Chris with cigarette in one hand, bottle of wine in another, as tipsy as she is witty. But I don't think Christine ever cared enough to push that, I think she was happy enough standing behind the keyboards letting the other members bask in the limelight myself.

A tour of which I've purchased tickets to 2 shows for. See, I'm a fan. I was just continuing on a running joke. Many apologies if it went over your head.
Unless of course, you're carrying it on as well. To which I would say "Kudos" for keeping it alive.

Yep. I agree with you

It didn't simply sell because it's a great record, although that obviously helped. It sold because all the other factors fell into place, helping it break big.

I'm pretty sure a lot of similar factors helped Stevie become a solo superstar while Lindsey didn't, but it easily could have been the other way round. There's not one Lindsey solo album, that doesn't contain a pure pop song that could have, if the circumstances been right, been a number one single. And Christine has never been shy of embracing her love of pop music either.

And secondly, I totally agree with you about Peter!

I think Lindsey is many things at the same time as a solo artist but nothing too convincingly. Then there are some songs or, more often, parts of songs that reflect a great talent probably not always correctly driven. Christine's albums sound mainstream to me in the music but I love her lyrics that many times have inside an unexpected ironic or self-ironic, touching, straight look on life and feelings.

About Peter Green, he would be my second choice after John McVie.

He deserves a medal for resisting all these years with all those divas.

I do believe Joe was doing the same.

He's not exactly the "unicorn beanie baby" type.

Who is? No one, I hope.

And if you don't hear "heart" in go insane, for instance, (bells whistles and other technical wizardry" you simple haven't listened to all those voicetracks he built up and sang from his guts. I'm sorry but Stevie did not do a vocal performance last tour like Lindsey did during "Come" or " SaY goodbye" or "NGBA". Only Beautiful Child came equally close.

Completely exasperating, isn't it, when people write off your favorite artist with just a few pithy sentences?
Of course Lindsey's music has heart... otherwise I, the over-passionate Italian with his heart ever on his sleeve, wouldn't be a fan.

Personally, I think 'Go Insane' is a masterpiece... but I can also understand exactly why it didn't knock a million people's socks off (and I don't think it has anything to do with that "people aren't bright enough to 'get it'" baloney). Just the same as I can see exactly why Stevie has as many detractors (if not more) as she has fans.

But as long as Buckingham fans keep ridiculing Nicks fans, I'm going to keep piping up.

"Gypsy," "Gold Dust Woman," "Sara," "Stand Back" and "Goodbye Baby" rivaled those performances, IMO.

Good for you. You'll love the concerts. Stevie is on fire. She may even become your favorite. I'm considering going to a second show this tour myself. IT WAS THAT GOOD!

Of course. And thank you.

No I was just kidding. Stevie said (If I recall correctly) during the recent interview with Jim Ladd that Lindsey asked her to dress more casual (on Stevie standards) during SYW tour. I think it was just an advice from a friend to another, as it happens every day to us, even if IMO she decided for her own reasons, to be more subtle touring with FM.
