I was just looking at Lindsey's website news archive and on Jan 1 2005 this is what was posted:

A MESSAGE FROM LINDSEY 01.01.2005

Since the Fleetwood Mac tour ended in September, Lindsey has been working on a new project. We received this update from Lindsey:

"It was great to see everyone out on the road this last year. I'm feeling more creative than ever right now, and I’m working on a new solo project which I expect to have out sometime this year. Thanks for your support!"

Check back for the latest updates on Lindsey's solo project!

It is now almost one year later and not only do we NOT have a solo project but we have received NO updates about the progress of it.
I sometimes wonder if Lindsey has no concept of time.

Do you think that we will ever see the solo project and maybe a tour? I don't know I would like to give Lindsey the benefit of the doubt but when you take over 2 years to release your DVD it is kind of hard to have faith.

Pattie - It is hard to have faith in him, but I did hear that he will be spending the rest of this year finishing up on the cd, he is soooo meticulous about his songs, everything has to be perfect, ya know,

, I believe he will go on his solo next year sometime !!! I sure hope so, I am getting as impatient as you are !! I can't wait , though !!!!

I know but I just wish that we would get some news from him. Even if it just that he is still working on the solo project. I hate to say it but it as if he doesn't want us to know anything.

Yeah, who knows maybe he is emailing Santa our addresses right now.

Maybe by "and I’m working on a new solo project" he meant the one new song on that movie soundtrack and the editing of the Soundstage thing.

As for a new record - I am not holding my breath.

I do not know if it is a pride thing, a contractual thing, etc. - but why he does not release GOS on a website is just beyond me.

I don't think that is what he meant. If it takes Lindsey one year for one song then we are looking at what 2015 for the release date.

No, that is not what he meant !

No, no, no, no & no. ... in short order.

Why would you like to give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to releasing albums? Doesn't that put you consistently on the side of having erred?

It's not good for your stomach lining. The hydrochloric acid will eat away at it.

I'd like to see his few remaining fans (most of them are probably on this forum) forget about him. That might be the only remaining factor in this world that would convince him to actually release some music -- because it's become more than apparent (to any but the most braindead clod) that nothing else in 25 or 30 years has been able to have that effect.

I'm a "proof-is-in-the-pudding" guy. When I see someone handle his solo music career the way Lindsey has, I can only conclude that he doesn't want to market his music to anyone. And if he doesn't want to, why prod him? It's like trying to force your kid who loves baseball & nothing else to start waxing cars for a hobby.

Yeah yeah, they say the same thing about bringing troops home from Iraq.

Anybody want to take bets on which will happen first?

It seems so solipsistic, and almost contradictory compared to the way he goes about things with Fleetwood Mac. With the band it's always about trying to milk the cash cow as much as possible for as long as possible, and then he goes back to his solo career where it seems as though he doesn't even have any interest in putting his music out there at all, let alone making any money from it.

And then you've got Soundstage, a truly bizarre entry in his catalogue. Out of nowhere, a guy who's only ever once toured on his own releases a live DVD that's more than half filled with previously unreleased songs and relatively obscure album tracks, which almost makes you think that he actually does want to get his music out to his fans.

How do you figure this guy out?

Angelick Witch · #12 11-27-2005, 03:58 PM

Well, I still believe in him! I really don't think he has any concept whatsoever of time though. Poor man...

And I think he has so few fans _anyway_ that if having very few fans is what motivates him, he's _never_ going to do it. Maybe we should send him a petition or something?

That's just the way he is I guess. I've learned one thing about him, believe it when it hits the shelves...
