To be fair, it seems reasonable to believe that she liked it simply because you were sending a message of support for her father. Now if she had REPLIED to you with a "yep, I was in the room and heard it all, Stevie said 'you're fired you big jerk!'" then maybe that would "confirm" it. There have been a lot of folks passing judgement based on very scant information. I will be interested to hear some hard facts about what happened in that room that hopefully will come out eventually.

What, you think Lindsey is gonna tell his family a different story of what really happened? Why would he lie? And of course Leelee can't tell it. Hard facts? When fights among band members really come out? Never.

She's his daughter- good for her for showing her support for him. I wouldn't expect anything less. In fact, even if Lindsey is somehow, 100% at fault and deserved to be fired, I would expect his daughter to show her support for him. You really think she would say "I love my dad, but FM was right to fire him because he was acting like a jerk?" |

We don't know what happened and it's unfair to blame Stevie. It looked like his daughter was liking every post that expressed support for Lindsey. She has posted sweet things about Stevie in the past, but I would expect her to mirror whatever sentiment her father feels towards any bandmember at the moment. Is anyone posting nasty comments about Christine disguised as support for Lindsey and getting likes? No, because the target of everyone's vitriol is Stevie.
I don't understand why people think Stevie has some incentive to get rid of Lindsey. Even if you hate her and think she's greedy, how is she supposed to do Silver Springs without Lindsey standing there? She'll have to change her whole Gypsy story, forego the Sara interaction, the Landslide interaction, etc. Her entire Fleetwood Mac narrative revolves around her relationship with Lindsey so even if you believe it's just that - a narrative - why would you think she'd want him gone? She would even make more money if he was there! The "classic" Fleetwood Mac lineup will sell more, and higher priced, tickets than the current lineup. The entire band will have to work harder to sell this. They won't be able to glide through the same old motions, which is the "cash cow" mentality. To think that anyone in the band wanted this is ludicrous.

But I bet she'll get a higher cut now so overall she'll probably be better off. I cant see Neil and Mike combined getting close to what Lindsey would have received as a share.

I appreciate both of you for being rare voices of reason right now. Good grief, things have devolved so rapidly into such drama around here. I keep coming back to these threads to see if anyone came across any real facts and have to keep wading through page after page of name-calling, crying and hair-pulling. How can people ask why the band couldn't be adults and work things out when clearly their own fans are at each other's throats over a bunch of rumor and speculation? We have very little REAL information to go on so far. Also, as someone pointed out, no one died! All parties concerned are free to continue to play and record at will. Can we please remember that this band has been through so many incarnations already and if fans of the various versions threw up their hands and refused to give the succeeding line-ups a chance they would have missed out on a lot of good music along the way. Whatever happens in Fleetwood Mac land, the sun will still rise tomorrow. Last edited by Feather Blade; 04-12-2018 at 03:35 PM.. |

Lindsey's daughter isn't a child. She's about 18 now isn't she? She probably knows a whole hell of a lot more about the facts of what really happened than anyone on here does. So if whatever that is results in her wanting to "like" comments that say negative things about Stevie or other members than she has all the right to do that.

Point is Mick would have been outnumbered. But that didn't happen. And he was fired.

Yeah, if she did issue that ultimatum I can see this playing into it. Her peers are dropping like flies. Prince, Glenn, and now Tom who she was especially close with. I’m sure the clock ticking is on her mind a lot these days and I can see her deciding she didn’t want to spend her twilight years with somebody that makes her miserable.

(And i’m not blaming LB or saying he’s the toxic one. I don’t think either of them are fully to blame. They just are toxic together and it seems to have gone too far to fix now.) I also think it’s kind of selfish of us to insist they continue working together if they hate it. They’re not dancing monkeys, they’re real people with real lives and feelings. We’re just a bunch of people who like their music. We don’t know them and they don’t owe us anything. Music shouldn’t come before mental health. These things happen. It happened with Sonny & Cher, Ike & Tina, George & Tammy, etc. If S&L can’t be around one another, that’s their business and I respect it and am still excited for whatever music will come from them both separately. (I do however understand why people are mad that they’re continuing the band w/o LB rather than breaking it up.) |
