He got her back with Go Your Own Way

[@gypsyrobin]

@@TheReelgrrl, not really. Most of their individually written songs on the Rumors album are about each other. Both have written other songs about the other since then. And if anything, I'd say Stevie's "Silver Springs" is the ultimate song directed to a former lover/partner. But not "Landslide" as that she wrote for her dad prior to joining FM.

@@TheReelgrrl, yeah, that was his nastiness throwing shade at her when she broke up with him. Don't get me wrong, despite his negativity, Lindsey is one of my top ten faves on the guitar especialy on "Gypsy" but she had him pegged when they first started a relationship together with her "Long Distance Winner" song about him.

@George Duffy you're speaking my language . I've been trying to get Jamel to play cowgirl in the sand, down by the river, on the beach, hurricane, ramada inn .. the really great guitar songs with multiple long solo bridges. i love Neil's commercial stuff too especially rocking in the free world and too many to mention. but I want Jamel to really see what Niel can do with a guitar. he's gonna have a revelation . a new favorite . Young has been as inspirational to music, musicians as the Beatles imo. I saw Young at The Greek Theater for Greendale, actors lip synced and acted out the characters on different revolving stages per song as Young and Crazy Horse played in a lower stage in very low light, played the whole album, then we took an intermission and they came out and played their previous stuff for over 2 hours. It's a small theater with great acoustics so it was quaint. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Young is charismatic live, and he improvs extended guitar bridges that are epic.
