Sure He uses riffs from other songs to fit some lyrics, but I don't think it's related to running out of ideas. On the contrary. Maybe he's using them to collaborate with Stevies use of the same notes in her songs. Maybe that's why the SYW album is so confusing. Stevie relys on the same type of singing that made her famous but Lindsey wants to show some creativity. I think the new album reflects this. Mick, John and Stevie want to maintain that "Rumors" idiom but Lindsey is trying to break away from it. It must be frustrating for him to feel restrained like that. Maybe that's why he locks himself away to compose guitar pieces. I'd love to hear some of the stuff that the rest of the band says no to. Maybe another solo album like Red Rover would be appropriate right about now. Sure the hip-hop, rap-rock group of today might not want it, but I sure do.
