But, really, they weren’t spared questions about why it wasn’t called Fleetwood Mac, and Stevie wasn’t spared questions about why she didn’t participate. They really didn’t gain any advantage by not calling it Fleetwood Mac. If anything, it came off as awkward and it hurt album sales.

What they should have done, but didn't have the courage to because of financial considerations, is given Stevie the ultimatum.

In principle, I agree. However, tours make money, albums don’t, and the reality is that she’s the big draw. I don’t like that, but Mick and John don’t make money from royalties, so they need the income from touring.
