I differ with you about the whole health thing of the band members, though. It’s a tricky issue because we don’t know all the facts and there’s a ton of speculation, but it seems almost a contradiction to say that the tour could have cost both John and Christine time off their lives, but then say if Lindsey had toured, you don’t think he would have had the heart attack. Stress is stress to the human body. That’s why people can have a heart attack riding a roller coaster- the body can’t classify ‘good or fun’ stress from ‘bad stress.’ Or why big football players with a lot of muscle mass have heart attacks. |

As I say above or elsewhere, before a big tour such as FM insurance requires that every band member go through an extensive medical checkup. With the Rolling Stones, this mandated checkup found Mick Jagger's heart issue and he was able to address it with a valve replacement rather than a more invasive surgery such as a bypass.
Accordingly, had Lindsey been in the band the checkup he would have had to undergo may well have turned up his heart issue and he would have been able to address it – though he would not have been able to tour, and perhaps the band would have then said, "Tour is booked, can't cancel, Neil and Mike will fill in, but Lindsey is still a band member; he's just on bed rest" and Stevie would have gotten her wish without having to have Lindsey fired as such.

At my job, if I was completely done with working with someone, I don’t think I would stick it out 2-3 more years. As fans, we want FM to make new music, but as an objective guy, I get why she didn’t want to stick it out anymore. I’m not saying she’s right or wrong, I’m just saying she clearly reached her threshold for whatever reason when it came to Lindsey and she was done. And she has the right to say she’s done. Just like he did in 1987. |

LOL, look at all of Lindsey’s personal physicians on here.
All of whom seem to forget the biggest predictor of heart disease: Family history. I mean, it’s not like Morris or Greg Buckingham didn’t die young suddenly because of heart attacks. I guess Stevie invented a super secret time machine to take them out, too.

All I can think of is that, if you're a musician, it's a lot more fun to play LOVE RUNS DEEPER than DREAMS week after week.

I wonder if Mick or John ever said to Lindsey "If you keep this(whatever this is) up, you're out of here" |

And yes the comment about insurance is accurate. The insurance check for NBA play is how Magic Johnson discovered he was HIV positive all those years ago, for example. |

Maybe they said if you don’t play with a pic, you are out of here. That traumatized him to the point he was still talking about it 30 years later, when he obviously ended up doing what he wanted.

I’m in the minority about preferring deep tracks to new songs, though. I can see why other people would prefer new music, too. |

These musicians do interviews and are more or less required to have stories to tell. It's a downside of the biz. Frankly, Lindsey isn't particularly good at this part of the job. He prefers making music. But as stories go, I'd say it is interesting that Mick hired–as Waddy Wachtel put it–the greatest fingerstyle guitarist in the history of rock, and asked him to play with a pick. It's at least ironic. Problem is, while a third party like Waddy can say why asking him to play with a pick was ironic (because Lindsey is a singularly good fingerstyle guitarist), Lindsey can't really explain that part himself because it would sound too self-aggrandizing. So when Lindsey talks about it he really tells only half the story and the irony and interest value isn't made clear. It would be better if they didn't have to come up with any stories and could just say "We make great music." But unfortunately that's just not how it works.

Here’s his 45 he recorded at Sound City around the time Buckingham Nicks were recording. They supposedly sing on “You’re the One” and Jim Keltner was on drums (the mix is similar to “Don’t Let Me Down Again”). It was even on Anthem.
