We were neighbors in Aspen back in the day. You may like the music, but with respect I doubt you have any first-hand experience with either of them. ...and one of them is an awful human being with little respect for themselves, their relationships, their friends or their neighbors.

You don't know them and don't know what they really think. Reality is far from your magical world.

[@garyoldham4449]

Love is often wasted on the undeserving. Lindsay should slap on his blinders to the past as though it never happened. Then his mind would be free and he could mix it up with some other musicians, create new memories, create new music, and that is what keeps you young and alive. What I mean is to recreate, become forward looking, not reminiscing which is something that old people do when they have given up on creating anything new. Recreation is the fountain of youth. We think recreation means rest or taking a time out but what it really means is activity from a blank slate. Recreate.

[@garyoldham4449]

@@Lamp30 But do you have goals and dreams, are you forward looking, do you have zest for life? That's what I'm talking about. Specifically, I'm saying that the difficulties of life and a long road of setbacks and getting hurt can hinder us if our mind dwells on any negativity. Those are not the sublime emotions and they affect our health and they affect our enthusiasm. So what I'm saying, for some it is helpful to stop looking backwards and to look forwards and yes, you do feel younger and more enthusiastic. When you feel the sublime emotions you become energized. It is possible.

I adore this man. I think their relationship was exactly what it needed to be. can you imagine some of these songs would have never existed without their passionate love/hate.

[@brittscott4673]

Their was a fair amount of drug use also that could have blurred their perceptions and caused friction over trivial disagreements. Stevie has mentioned that she would have grams of coke in her boot.Im not knocking their drug use it was the 70s,but it could have affected their relationship negatively for sure.

Stevie had her priorities out of order and wrong. Next after God Marriage is number , not anything else let alone your job! That was her problem which she said our of her own mouth. She put the band and career above her marriage. The marriage relationship is Number 1 in the line of priorities. Even children and family are number 2 because you need to keep a good marriage relationship to have a good family. All the rest come after this. This is why most marriages break up, their priorities are out of wack.

@@pmeehan_3 That's fine. I respect your opinion. I'm guessing that Lindsay's wife is ok with everything for the most part. I think Stevie and Lindsay have remained good friends but were very toxic to each other back in the day. I also think on some level they still love each other, which is natural and is ok as long as they both respect each other's partner. It is what it is. Many of us have that one person that we will always love, while recognizing that they should never go back to that place. Do you understand what I'm saying? It's all good. Everyone seems to be mature adults who understand the conplexity of the situation.

[@batlady2]

I think Lindsey has mellowed a lot in his years. He seems more humbled. I think he loved her more than she did him. I think they were both just way to intense for each other. Sort of like competing personalities. That happens a lot with artists who are in a relationship with each other. I also believe the drugs, especially cocaine, they took heavy partake in their young years probably had an adverse effect on Lindsey's personality because he seems to me to already be an energetic hyper kind of guy. Coke does not go well with that kind of person. Hence his tendency to having a volatile temper. I dont know of course, just observing from a far I get the feeling thats how it is. Any way, I've loved the Mac my entire adult life. Since I first heard them in 1974. Every dime I spent buying their albums and going to their concerts.... worth every single penny. They have given me so much joy. Each and every one of them! I LOVE THE MAC!

The great thing is that a younger wife doesn't take away the love and memories for a woman who is now in her 60's and as he said their relationship is still a work in progress. Nice to know that age has nothing to do with true love and everlasting love. If they decided to get back together what a moment that would be.

Interesting there still exists friction today between Stevie and Lindsey. When I see them on stage now, I wanted to believe it was all in the past. I sensed from the look in Lindsey's eyes that was a difficult question to respond to.

Lindsey no doubt still has strong feelings for Stevie (and she for him), and good for both of them to not say anything disrespectful about each other. Stevie also said recently they will always be closely connected. I love Stevie, but I have to be a bit biased towards Lindsey - my surname is also Buckingham, lol.

He wouldn't take the job with FMac in the beginning without her and said, "We're a package". She's not saying that now. Bad decision, Stevie. That band should fold without Buckingham. He IS FMac. Class act and genius musician.

[@lot110]

Lol

[@audreycumby1075]

Agree

[@shawnnewell4541]

That version of it. Remember this was the longest lineup of Fleetwood Mac. Constant personnel changes are part of the history of this band. And it's John and Mick's band. Not Lindsay's or Stevie's.

[@batlady2]

I agree. I'm not saying Lindsey is perfect but Stevie pushing to have him fired really has me looking at her so differently now. I am a huge fan of hers but for her to go that far with it when she knows Lindsey would never do the same thing to her no matter how mad at her he got. I bet this crushed his heart in a million pieces. Hurt by all of them but ESPECIALLY by Stevie.

[@smitsonavane6278]

Yeah he told Fleetwood Mac that he wouldn't join without Stevie and now she pushed really hard and gave an ultimatum to the band just to fire and kick out the person who actually brought her in He is the reason why she is enjoying so much success and money and fame with Fleetwood Mac Yes it is Mick and John's band but Buckingham gave the band the fame and success that they have now with his smooth and severely underrated guitar playing He is a LEGEND

[@thevikingswife6354]

I have loved this couple since I have no memory. They are both outstanding in their own rights, let alone together. One of my earliest memories was "Second-Hand News" on the radio. To this day, I teach my son and daughter One of the best connections and loves was a girl named Stevie and a man named Lindsey. MY KIDS are in grade School and could pick out both their voices and his guitar......

[@fireflie78]

Wow! It seems he wanted Stevie to be his wife, but she was a free spirit at the time. They will always have a love there, but he's happy with his family,. and she's content knowing he wanted it with her. It's f'd up but true..

[@brianm.armstrong70]

Its amazing the restraint and love he shows for Stevie. You can tell he wants to say more, but is not willing to go down that road. Unrequited love is so painful, especially when you have spent that better part of your life loving someone and still have mutual feelings for each other, but just can't seem to make it work anymore and eventually rehash and open OLD WOUNDS. This is what we do in the CO DEPENDENCY relationships. Sad...very sad....truthfully, I fell Lindsey never truly got the respect he earned and deserves and Stevie has turned into a PRIMA DONNA! The band is NOTHING without him! They were and remain THE SUM OF ALL THE PARTS, like any great band! PERIOD!

[@karinaanne2686]

What a sweet classy guy ♡ I wish I was Stevie!

[@tobmello1]

remember, he did "knock her around" a bit back in the mid 70s. So I don't know if any emotionally healthy woman can come back from that. I've got a Rolling Stone mag that is dedicated to FMac and the band members touch upon the physical abuse a little. It's a touchy subject, Lindsay denies it, Stevie never mentions it, the band kinda verifies it. They were there.

[@sharksport01]

I sense there's something between them still watching them perform now and seeing them together even not performing

[@bernlin2000]

It has to be tough to see your former partner (and soul mate) grow and evolve as a person, while your own situation remains stagnant. Stevie decided to issue that ultimatum when she felt Lindsey was mocking her speech in 2018, where she reflected her loneliness and her appreciate for the fans in filling that gap. That's not a fun place to be, when the ones you called on the most have passed on. But that's why you can't let your relationships get stagnant.

They had a passionate and sometimes abusive relationship... but they love each other to this day and continue to make art together. they understand that they could never be together with all the baggage they've collected over the years.

Chris Paneesh the story I heard long ago was that Fleetwood Mac wanted him to join the band and he and Stevie spent the last of their money buying all the Fleetwood Mac records and listening to them to see if it would be a good fit, and when he decided to join he said it was a package deal. They had to take Stevie too.

[@rhainaweissehexe3899]

I think Stevie has a Drive and creativity that burns so bright in her. He has always known this and could never keep up with her energies. When you see them working at the piano together, it is Lindsey who leads. They were the completion of the whole. I think he would have been happy to let her lead, but the whole Fleetwood Mac thing got in the way. The Separation was necessary to preserve their sense of self. I do beleive this comes with a demanding public careeer, choices....hard, but necessary for self-survival.
