  - I think the big point is that music history is full of stupid things A&R people say. -- nm - crash davis Oct 20, 16:39 1
    - Well said. -- nm - 👽Scully👽 Oct 20, 16:41

  - It does make Lindsey Buckingham kind of a douche, but yeah. -- nm - Tim Oct 20, 16:29 11
    - I have a friend who is a FM superfan, met them many times. She says Lindsey is deeply resentful. He was the genius. Stevie had more hits -- nm - 👽Scully👽 Oct 20, 16:32 8
      - Even if that's true (it could be) that's kinda how the music industry works. I mean Lindsey *must* be filthy rich anyway. Get over it. - ty97 Oct 20, 16:42 4
        
        of course he is. She's richer and more famous. When they were a couple HE was the genius. -- (edited) - 👽Scully👽 Oct 20, 16:45 3
        
        Anyone who views themselves as a genius is immediately suspect by me, even if they are regarded as a genius. But also, it's been decades. - ty97 Oct 20, 17:09
