Yes, she CHOSE to work so he could hone his craft, but after getting dropped and having no viable path forward, that he even had to think about it really wasn’t fair to her (and Keith, for that matter). Here was a golden opportunity for both of them to have legitimate work in a band on a major label where gender wasn’t an issue, and his instinct wasn’t to simply go for it. He put his dreams (and possible insecurities) ahead of their joint best interests. It’s no wonder she started plotting a solo career as early as 1976.

He wouldn’t have joined without her pushing him into it.
