Yes—when OOTC came out it was the culmination of many years of rediscovering his priorities and focusing on them. It took him a long time to get over working with FM, especially on the previous two albums. But once OOTC was released, he never seemed to slow down. He was already at work on new material when Mick intervened and coaxed him into a MAC reunion. And then, after SYW, he was really on fire, with no hindrances.

What’s so sad, however, is that once he eventually found his way back to the band that brought him to stardom and once he wanted to celebrate his affiliation with it through new music, Stevie kept blocking him. Rightly or wrongly, working with him seems to have traumatized her.
