Instead, what we have is two songs and no more.

I suspect that Stevie tends to vent about injustices after the fact only when she was prevented from doing something or when the project was a commercial disappointment. As such, yes, Stevie complained about not having SS for
Timespace, which is consistent with all of her complaints about being a prolific songwriter and getting insufficient real estate for her songs on Fleetwood Mac albums. She will complain about bad experiences behind the scenes when the album is a big hit (like
Rumours or TITN] but she will never criticize the music itself. But when an album is a flop (e.g.,
Street Angel or
Say You Will), she will talk trash about the music. I mean, what does she have to gain by criticizing a really successful piece of work?
