I'm wondering if they even made any money on the solo efforts? Lindsey probably didn't sell enough to break even or fund the costs of the OOTC tour, musicians, etc. Stevie may have made some money on her solo albums and concerts - I don't know. At least she's making some personal appearances and stoking her career fire occasionally. And, although they protest that money is never the motivation, I don't think they expect to lose money either.

I sorta feel like this is their last hurrah. I think Lindsey will go off and produce or arrange for other musicians and Stevie will continue to make appearances and possibly solo albums. Mick will have to join a band in order to support himself and John's probably rich enough to just sail around having fun.

Good to see you here in Lindseyland, David! We need smart thoughtful people like you.
