2. He is creative. But what he did to Smile At You was hideous. I for one, was not overly impressed with Buckingham McVie. It did not grow on me.
She didn't have to go along with Smile At You. She's part of the creative process too. Surely she could step up and say 'I don't like that, can we keep it simple?'
They might then disagree, have a discussion and move on in a different direction.
IMHO Buckingham McVie was great but it would have been even better (and probably fitting last FM album had Stevie been involved. She was the last ingredient that was needed.
3. Stevie did not leave the band. The band did not fire her. Thus Buckingham McVie could not be issued under Fleetwood Mac. The majority of the members obviously did not want to throw her out over that.
They didn't want to, but they should have.
They are a band together.
They wanted to record.
She says 'No'. To me that = resignation.
