I disagree in that I think CM and La Nicks were always wanting to go back to FM. Stevie certainly said this in interviews at that time. I can't recall LB ever saying that. I think LB did not want to go back to FM after the truncated Mirage tour. Again, he also discusses the TITN sessions as a return. To me, that sounds like he had all but left after Mirage. I also think he agreed to TITN because the sales of Go Insane were disappointing and FM could give him a needed boost, then he remembered why he "left" in the first place. Just my opinion though.

But, yes, based on what we know from the press, La Nicks was incorrect in saying he left the band in 1983. That is why I termed it as mostly correct - maybe effectively correct would have been a better phrase.
