and FM must have wanted her back pretty bad to be willing to put up with her solo tour and her hospitalization for addiction. So, FM must have thought her input was of some merit? Otherwise, why wait?. Just do it without her? But, I think we all know they waited because without Stevie's input, TITN would not have sold as well. Then, when she gets there and makes the commitment despite what I am sure was pure hell for her after the addiction, LB says, I can't take it and he leaves. That is pretty horrible behavior on his part no matter what his excuse was and IMO shows a huge gesture on her part - she could have said see ya too and gone on to sell a million more solo records - yet she did not - she stuck it out. Yet, the LB supporters will NEVER EVER admit that Then, the tour sells out or at least very, very well without LB at the helm, which IMO is a HUGE insult to him if not irony esp. since the same cannot be said if Stevie had backed out instead of LB. So, the debate rages on . . .
Again, there are days I cannot stand to go to work and am not the most social when I get there. But, I am a professional and do it with a smile anyway no matter what I might think of my co-workers, etc. Last edited by strandinthewind; 05-04-2004 at 08:58 PM.. |

Finally, do not take anything I said as an insult to LB's musical genius. I like him and think he did a stelalr job on TITN mostly on his own. I think his songs are amngst the best he has ever done and I think he did a brilliant job with CM's already great stuff. I am just saying I think it was crappy for him to back out of a booked tour for personal reasons when the other four were willing to stick it out. I forgave him as a fan for this years ago. But, I still call a spade a spade.

That aside, I've always thought it odd that she, having spent next to no time on the album, felt justified in lecturing Lindsey on his commitment to the band when he finally confessed that he didn't want to tour. I don't think either one of them shine brightly on the grounds of immense loyalty there, or had much room to be slamming each other on the topic given the circumstances. I don't think it's horrible behavior on his part because I don't measure his choices merely by how they affect Stevie. He made a choice that was best for his own life. Just as Stevie did when she left, and Christine has done now.

Stevie (and the rest of the band) has said that she was there "in the beginning," when the album was in the planning stages, but by the time recording commenced, she had embarked on the solo tour she was already committed to. During the tour, she sent demos to Fleetwood Mac (including "Seven Wonders"), and stayed in touch with the band. And when her solo tour was finished, she was rushed off to Betty Ford. Once she was clean and sober, of course, she went into the studio with Fleetwood Mac... it just happened that by that time, the band was nearly finished with the album. By the way, estimations place the start of recording on 'Tango' in Late-Spring/Early-Summer of 1986. The album was released in April of 1987... so the band didn't work without Stevie for two years. Sounds more like it was just under a year. I'm not trying to paint Stevie as a martyr, but she could have just as easily cited "personal reasons" for not appearing on the album and/or not touring.

By the way, it's a pity that Christine's own forum has only been public for less than a week now, and we've already brought the Lindsey vs. Stevie debates here.
